Not to be confused with a film of the same name, this 1979 song set a record for the highest debut on the Hot Country Singles chart. It took nearly 30 years for another song to top it. “Every Which Way But Loose” follows a narrator who has positive and negative feelings toward his girlfriend, whom he can’t seem to break up with.
