This has really been sticking in my craw..In that stupid song "Horse With No Name", can someone tell me WHY?

the stupid horse didn't have a name?

I mean, this guy is blathering about being in the desert, no wonder the freaking horse left him there, he doesn't even have a name.

Thank you for clarifying this mystery for me. This has bothered me for about 30 years. (I'm old, so shut it).

How does my avatar have ANYTHING to do with the question?

And if you think woodland creatures look "whorey", you might have some issues, my friend.

Don't fret your lovely head over it, Cel. It ain't exactly James Joyce we're talking about here.

I mean, "The heat was hot"? No ****, Sherlock.

I've been living in Phoenix for 41 years now, and that poor horse did have a name. Of course it's an Indian name,so it doesn't translate well.
Running Stud with Tail, translates to, Mineisbiggerthanyours.
America just couldn't fit the name into the song, so they didn't bother.

I think the horse HAD a name. The horse was with "No Name". No Name was a crazy old desert guy.

.... i've no bloody idear WHY the horse has no name ... BUT i CAN tell you, that if one more person says it's a Neil Diamond or James Taylor song, i swear by the throne of heaven AND the worn out strings on Lindesy Buckinghams guitar, that i am going to personally rip their musically challenged eardrums straight out through their nostrils!

AMERICA is the artist. *sighs*

EDIT: Who's this creep insulting Cel? What a wanker.

Goat cheese.

Medically speaking, during exposure to goat cheese the recessive gene will trigger "Afternoon Delight," while the dominant trait manifests itself with "Horse with No Name."

The fastest way to come down off that particular mountain is Totino's Pizza Rolls, and Diet Dr. Pepper.
