"achy breaky heart" was written by amateur songwriter don von tress from cypress inn, tennessee in 1990, according to him "just fooling around on the guitar and a drum machine".









































the song was initially to be recorded by the oak ridge boys in the early 1990s but the group decided against recording it after lead singer duane allen said that he did not like the words "achy breaky". it was then recorded in 1991 under the title "don't tell my heart" by the marcy brothers, although their version changed some lyrics.
