Well, that didn’t take long… it’s been a couple of weeks and sure enough, the joke got less funny each time I heard it. The cute has worn off and it’s become annoying. Now, when it comes on the radio, I pass.

Still curious about its Billboard chart fortunes though.

This song is a stroke of comedic genius if you ask me. This is country music meets Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. Perfect!

Parts of it are a little annoying (“you’re my f-f-friend…”), but any song that manages to rhyme disposable, decomposable and foreclosable is going to at least make me smile…

He has put one funny bus song on each of the past few CD’s – that’s what this one is. It has turned into an internet hit, and a concert hit. His concerts are one big party, and this song is perfect for that! His band members said that recently when he played it at a concert in Europe, they were singing it in the streets for 30 minutes after!

Justin, I’ll answer your question:

I’d prefer the worst Lady A song imaginable over this one. Hands down.

This is great but it should have been a “bus song” of his instead of a single it just doesn’t work this way for me.

I like “Red Solo Cup”. Sure, its stupid, but somehow its infectious. And the video is funny.

But I don’t know if this will hold up as a radio single being played a gazillion times a day. It might burn out fast with people. We’ll see.

Anway, a novelty song every now and then definitely is a good thing. I like this song.

This is just my take, but this is almost the kind of thing that Ray Stevens at the top of his game could make genuinely interesting and funny. Needless to say, Mr. Keith isn’t in R.S.’s league when it comes to stuff like this (IMHO).

Love this song. I think it will (obviously) be a huge hit in college towns and with the younger crowd.

Don’t have a problem at all with this song though & I hope it does well. Would we rather hear another by the numbers country-pop Lady A song or something more creative and funny like this song?

…sounds like one of these charlie harper jingles. even the mood and the overall state of the singer seem…roughly familiar. and if it helps to finance the “alans” on his label, it’s even more two-and-a-half-men-ish.

but seriously, haven’t we always suspected that there isn’t a thing in the south, you couldn’t make a country song out of?
