Tonight they play again

The Kendalls sing about the Pittsburgh Steelers (+ Live in Rotterdam).

The Kendalls were a country and western duo famous for their songs sympathetic to cheating spouses carried away by desire--

It Don't Feel Like Sinnin To Me
You Make An Angel Wanna Cheat
Heaven's Just A Sin Away (their first hit)
Sweet Desire
If You Don't Want The Fire
Teach Me To Cheat
I'm Already Blue
(and the followup to Pittsburgh Steelers): A Dallas Cowboy and a New Orleans Saint

But the two were not a couple. They were in fact father and daughter.

The Kendalls continued playing together through the 80s and 90s, until Royce's death, during the recording of what became Jeannie's first solo album: Jeannie Kendall, on which the songs seem to be more about devotion and longing than illicit desire.

Smoky Lonesome
Train of Thought
True and Timeless Love
I Wonder Where You Are Tonight
Old Friend

I love "Heaven's Just a Sin Away" and so I will now have to immediately forget this fact, as I do every time I learn it.

The producers of Suburgatory must be big Kendalls fans.

If we play that song backwards, do the Steelers win and Tebow disappears?
