When first he saw this woman, you know he couldn’t believe his mind. Delilah she climbed up on Samson’s knee, Said tell me where your strength lies if you please. She spoke so kind and she talked so fair, Well Samson said, Delilah cut off my hair. You can shave my head, clean as my hand And my strength will become as natural as any old man." just saying… I understand the struggle! ---

Not entirely a hair song, but its most striking line is about hair - “Sitting” by Cat Stevens. Every time I hear it, I shake my head and think: _So, you feel the power growing in your hair, do you? Hey bub, a little psychiatric consultation might not be out of line._ ---

The legendary German punk band die Ärzte did a concept album about hair called [“Le Frisur”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Frisur). It contained gems like “Vokuhila Superstar” (“Mullet superstar”), “Dauerwelle vs. Minipli” (“Permanent wave vs. minipli”), “Der Afro von [Paul Breitner](http://www.br.de/fernsehen/bayerisches-fernsehen/sendungen/kino-kino/paul-breitner-portraet-100~_v-image853_-7ce44e292721619ab1c1077f6f262a89f55266d7.jpg%3Fversion%3Df397d)” (“The afro of Paul Breitner”) and “Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow”. It’s really, really funny. ---

Bob Dylan’s “The Girl from the North Country” has a verse about hair – Please see for me if her hair hangs long, If it rolls and flows all down her breast. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, That’s the way I remember her best. ---

Was gonna mention another along these lines earlier, but wasn’t sure if songs about the absence of hair would be welcome! So let’s add “Bald-Headed Lena” by The Lovin’ Spoonful. And Shel Talmy, the Kinks/Who producer who wrote “Bald-Headed Woman,” seems to have had some sort of a fixation going, as he also wrote “I’ve Been Driving on Bald Mountain” for The Kinks. ---
