I personally like the quirkiness of the song, and can’t understand how this doesn’t beat out all the (yawn) stuff Kenny Chesney has put out the past few years. So sick of also hearing references in every song about Hank or Hank Jr. as well as George Jones or Lynard Skynard who, by the way, weren’t even country. CW’s vocals are a lot better than Kid Rock or Uncle Kracker–who, by the way, don’t come close to classifying as country in my book. Let’s give some credit to Chuck–after all, his first CD was one of the highest debuting country albums of all time. Stealing Cinderella was a top 5 hit, and the album produced two other top 10′s, if not top 5′s, as well. Problem is anymore, if you aren’t a “bad ass” boy like Jason Aldeen, you don’t fit in. That’s one guy who definitely CAN’T sing.

You know, Kevin, for one utterly terrifying moment I thought you might have been reviewing a Chuck Wicks cover of my favorite John Conlee song…Whew! Lol.

Does “Stuck Like Glue” make the “island country songs” countdown?

@ Tom,

Why don’t we just put Waylon at #1 now and save us the trouble:

Ouch. “Stealing Cinderella” is definitely a change the station song for me. I can see how it’d have a different affect on a father though.

I liked “Stealing Cinderella” – I think of my daughter when I hear it. “Old School” does nothing for me. It’s not “change the station” bad. It’s just not memorable in any way.

…come to think of it – wouldn’t it be a nice idea for cu to come up with an “island country songs” countdown of some sort, next spring.

buffet, chesney, jackson, strait, lawrence, shelton, currington and god knows who else have released songs with some tropical flavour in them.

that could be fun, after the snow is gone and frankly, you’re a tough bunch to beat, when it comes to those little write-ups.

…at that pace, chasing senioritas out by the pool sounds like a rather hopeless excercise and so does the rest of this acoustic sleeping pill.

then again, a “d” verdict seems a little harsh. he sings it quite nicely and it’s not his fault, that a false-tempo-summer-song is launched, when even north carolina is drowing under snow-masses.
