“He got a standing ovation from a lot of people in the business when he did that song at preparty in Nashville.”

That’s one of the more depressing things I’ve ever heard. And I’ve listened to a lot of country songs…

Vicki says “I don’t understand how he can go from a great song…to”Truck Yeah” and Ben’s review says “How is this not embarrassing?”

I’m embarrassed to admit it but I’m starting to like this as a guilty pleasure. And though Vicki’s point is well taken, Tim has released “Indian Outlaw,” “Refried Dreams,” and such in the past. So this isn’t that unprecedented!

Obviously the song is extremely silly, the “Truck Yeah” pun is hardly clever at all, and the lyrics contain country lyric cliche after cliche and they make “Red Solo Cup” look like a staggering piece of genius! Some won’t like the production either.

As bad as it is, I think the song is a bit catchy. I would never buy this as a download, and if I was commenting under my real name instead of the ridiculous “Sweetcheeks,” I would say I hated the song. I’d never admit to a friend that I like this! But I will say that the last two or three times this has come on my radio, I have not turned the station.

I imagine this song will wear out its welcome quite quickly, but its a fun little guilty pleasure. Very guilty.

I don’t understand how he can go from a great song like “Better Than I Use to Be” to “Trucks yeah”

I’ve heard of changing things up but this is ridiculous!

I had to hear that dud last night too! My buddy and I were looking at each other, shaking our heads, thinking, “what the heck is this rubbish!?” On a related not, for those of you considering the tour yourselves, McGraw needs to take a year off. He’s clearly straining himself.

I’m a little late to the party, but one I couldn’t help but attend. You see, I had managed to avoid this song until last night when I went to see Tim and Kenny perform on their Brothers of the Sun tour in Oakland, CA. I knew he’d play it eventually, and of course he chose this gem to finish his set with, yippee! Half way through the song my buddy looks at me and says, “kinda catchy right?” To which I respond, “I never said it wouldn’t be catchy but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck!” I don’t think much more needs to be said, however, in regards to the F grade it was given I would like to propose a new grading scale to be used for all future singles: A, B, C, D, F, Truck Yeah!

another is called The Book Of John, it is incredible and Tim said it was his favorite on the album. Has another one called Nashville, that is great, it is not like them songs like Jason did that yell out Johnny Cash’s name, It really has something to say and is pure country. He got a standing ovation from a lot of people in the business when he did that song at preparty in Nashville.

So Tim puts out a fun, not to be taken serious song and he is country worst enemy. I have heard a couple of the songs on the album, at a pre party. They are awesome and would fit perfect on his Everywhere album. One called One of those nights is incredible, equal to my favorite song Everywhere. You can hear it on the Pulse Music Board(country section) under the Truck Yea topic. Check it out.

I’ve had the joy of hearing this a few times on my radio station. And its actually becoming a little bit of a guilty pleasure with me. I wrote above that I thought the song stunk, and I sure do want to hate this kind of song. But I’ll admit now that I haven’t changed the station the few times the song has come on my radio.

McGraw fans have spoken. From Engine 145: Tim McGraw’s “Truck Yeah” is the highest charting debut he’s ever had. (Sigh)

Now we’re sure to get more of this garbage from tim big machine mcgraw.

McGraw, Big Machine, the song’s four co-writers and Clear Channel can “Go Truck Themselves”.

O__O

……..oh no! I just handed the studio hacks in Nashville another terrible idea they will predictably put to bombast! -__-
