Songs Gone Horribly Wrong

Today, I'm supposed to post my least favorite song.  I can actually point you to my least favorite genre, and that would be New Country.  Let me make my case:

5.  Lady Antebellum, Need You Now.  Yes ladies and gents, this is a song about booty calling your ex.  Don't glorify it.  It's drunk dialing at it's finest.  You can lay it down as a haunting ballad, but it's still trashy and a little sad.

4.  Brad Paisley, Ticks.  I think that a song about checking people for parasites is a little yuck.  Not clever, just yuck.  This is from the mind that brought you "Get A Little Mud on The Tires," I'm hoping this is an homage to four wheeling and not what it sounds like.  Parasites and Mud references--eeeeewwww.

3.  Anything by Taylor Swift.  Not because Taylor Swift is a bad singer or song writer.  She's quite good.  It's her fans.  They make me want to scream and throw things.  A good song played every fifteen minutes, everyday, becomes a monster and must be staked through the heart.

2.  Kenny Chesney, remake Fishin In The Dark.  This one chapped my ass pretty hard.  In fact I had to leave the store I was shopping in before I had a come apart the first time I heard it.  Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did this right.  They made it fun, it's one of my favorites.  Kenny Chesney slutted it up and dumbed it down and made it awful.  He should be shot repeatedly in the crotch with a paintball gun at close range for what he did to this song.

1.  The song you've all been waiting for and quite possibly the most insipid thing on the radio today:

Sugarland, Stuck Like Glue:

When you become a successful country singer, and someone says to you "Hey, I think we need to do a Jamaican Style Rap in the middle of this song!"   Just say no.  It's wrong.  Stop doing it.  Fire your manager, change your label, whatever you have to do to get away from it.

There is something worse than Pop Music, and it's Country Pop Music.  Sure it's mostly inoffensive and catchy.  That's what makes it so awful.  When they play their top 40 you can actually feel yourself getting dumber.  There is good country out there, it just doesn't get played on the radio.  I'm sure it's all part of a conspiracy, because even King George has gotten crappy the last 10 years or so.  Don't even get me started on Reba MacEntire, she's never been great, but she's gotten really awful...

Anyway it's just my opinion.
