I loved shiftwork and I didn’t think it was any worse than any of the other videos…whatare you people looking for and xrated movie?

Didn’t care for it at first, but love it now. The ’7-3, 3-11, 11-7′ hook got stuck in my head!

I’m not a huge Chesney fan, but I LOVE George Strait’s works. This song has a good beat and fun, tropical sound that is catchy. The words, to me, are hilarious and I have enjoyed listening to the song…..I was HUGELY disappointed with the video. It may have been Strait’s choice not to be in the video, or Kenny may not have invited him.
Whichever is the case, the video stinks.

quote from Kevin: “Strait’s catalog of solo hits is populated with quite a few ditties that are even less substantial than this one.”

Yes, Strait has put out his share of sing-a-long ditties and i like them, too. “All My Ex’s Live in Texas”, “Write This Down”, “The Big One”, etc etc. One of my pet peeves are those who feel every song has to have a message or some kind. Strait can sing both kinds…bouncy songs or message-type of songs like “You’ll Be There”, “Love Without End, Amen”, “The Best Day”, and his recent hit, “I Saw God Today”. I’m not saying the songs are preachy but they do deliver messages of some kind or another. So, i’m just sayin’ in my opinion, not every song Strait or anyone puts out for that matter has to have some big message or substance. The sing-a-long, let’s forget your troubles approach is good as well.

One of my eccentric peeves is when people call a song a duet when it is, in fact, not a duet. Such was the issue I had with CMT’s Greatest Duet’s countdown. I, however, think this song clearly lands in the duets category. Lines are at least exchanged rather than prominent harmony vocals during the choruses alone.

I’m amazed that any fan of George Strait would consider it a travesty that he recorded a light and bouncy song like this. Strait’s catalog of solo hits is populated with quite a few ditties that are even less substantial than this one.

i like the song…i am not a fan of Chesney’s to the point that i buy his CD’s but i listened to it due to Strait’s involvement. This week Billboard is now promoting the song as an official “duet” and so George’s name appears along side Kenny’s. I saw the music video on-line and didn’t see George at all…the thing that i don’t get is why some of the radio DJ’s only say Kenny’s name and not Strait’s when it’s obvious that it’s a duet. It’s more of a duet than some of the singles recently that are promoted as duets but yet only feature someone singing harmony. At least on this recording, Strait sings some lines by himself. The song’s hook is the chorus and the “7 to 3, 3 to 11, 11 to 7″ repetition. I find it ironic though that a lot of people feel it’s a travesty that George record a song that’s light and bouncy as this…if George himself didn’t care for the song i do not think he would agree to do it. His stature and longevity affords him the luxury to pick and choose what he wants to take part in so, in a way, those who bad-mouth the song are bad-mouthing George’s instincts and the song is in the Top-10 so everyone involved is satisfied.
