From the Taste of Country review:
" Perhaps as much as the lyric, the production of this song will separate it from others on the radio."
This comment reminds me of a beer I once saw called Olde Frothingslosh. It's slogan was: "The Pale Stale Ale with the foam on the bottom". This song, and all like it, constitute the Foam On The Bottom in the universe of music.
Some disclaimers: I have never drank Olde Frothingslosh, and I have never willingly listened to Dierks Bentley. Ever.

I sort of hate it; sort of love it. I bet the writing session included someone saying, "We should do the country song equivalent of Snakes on a Plane. Something so bad it's memorable..."

We are simply out of touch boys. I voted just see how the numbers fell. 89% of the votes gave it 5 stars. What does that say about us? Says to me I'm a dinosaur. So be it.

Meh. I don't believe that one iota. It's a novelty song, so I'll give it that...but I won't concede that I'm an old fogey. I'm 40-freaking-years old. I just have different tastes. There seem to be plenty like me.

It came on the radio this afternoon when I was in the car. I had to listen to a verse and chorus to see if it was really that bad. It really was that bad.

In the youtube video, Dierks is wearing a Blue Oyster Cult t-shirt. He wore it on TV too! I'm all for it, of course.

Well, watch with the audio muted and it's not as bad. In fact, there's a moment or three that are pretty good. The questions arise: how can such a craptastic song/video be populated with, er, interesting actors? And saved by a t-shirt? Could be.

Yeah, those stewardesses routinely boink drunks on planes in those nasty bathrooms. It never surprises me how far Nashville will go to over exaggerate.

Just for reference, here are the lyrics to the number one song right now...
And I said
Yeah, yeah
Like I was nodding right along to a song on the radio
Yeah, yeah
Girl, how could I say no?
Whatever you're drinking, that's what I'm drinking
Girl, you're calling the shots tonight
Whatever you're thinking, that's what I'm thinking
Tell me what you got in mind
So I can say yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)

And who wrote that pile of shite?
To think... we all rolled our eyes to 'Da Da Da' by '80s German techno band Trio
What you will and what you won't
What you do and what you don't
What you can and what you can't
This is what you need to know:
Loved you though it didn't show
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht
Ich liebe dich nicht, du liebst mich nicht
da da da
da da da
da da da
da da da

It should be a Weird Al song . AHHHHH ha !!! Yes. What is so sad is that America is overflowing with tools who think this garbage is cool. At least radio used to cultivate some level of art and appreciation as it related to popular music. Now it's pure mediocrity and "reality radio" where any idiot's gibberish is supposed to be of interest. It's like Youtube has started to infiltrate programming strategies. |

Well, Trio was a kind of dadaistic ironic punk experiment that had the power to survive decades in german music, and "Da Da Da" was the most minimalistic song they ever wrote. But you don't have to be totally drunk to get that there was at least "something" special to it. This country song we are talking about is something like the fast food of country, right? A few levels below McDonalds? My impression. And i am utterly uneducated what country is all about, sorry. I feel with you all who are into country, though. Must be hard to see this happen... |
