"Let's Think About Living " is a song written by Boudleaux Bryant , and recorded by American country music artist Bob Luman . It was released in August 1960 as the second single and title track from his album Let's Think About Living . The song reached No.9 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[2]
Background [ edit ]
The song is an open critique of the teenage tragedy song and gunfighter ballad genre of the time, humorously quipping that if Marty Robbins , Patti Page and the Everly Brothers actually died in the songs where they mention dying ("El Paso ", "One of Us (Will Weep Tonight)", and "Cathy's Clown " respectively) that the singer will soon be the last surviving musician in the industry. The lyrics suggest happier themes for songs in the future such as living, loving and dancing.
The Swedish group Sven-Ingvars Kvartett (later Sven-Ingvars ) 1961 - the first song on their first EP record (Philips 421 587 PE).
