Correct Answer: "Ring of Fire"

The "Ring of Fire" is a popular song written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore and originally recorded by Johnny Cash. The song was originally released on Cash's 1963 album, Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash. It became one of Cash's signature songs and one of his most popular recordings. The distinctive sound of the song's mariachi-style horns was created by session musician Bill Aken.

The song is about the overwhelming and overpowering feeling of love. The "ring of fire" mentioned in the title refers to a sensation of burning that simply comes with being in love. Cash was inspired to write the song after he proposed to June Carter and she initially said no because she didn't want to get married again - her first marriage had ended badly. Cash eventually convinced her to marry him, and they were married for 35 years until her death in 2003.

Since its release, "Ring of Fire" has been covered by many artists, including Social Distortion, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, and even hardware store Ace Hardware. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009 and was ranked #4 on CMT's list of the 100 Greatest Songs in Country Music in 2003. If you're looking for a classic country tune with a timeless message of love, look no further than "Ring of Fire."
