Retro Single Review: George Strait, “It Ain’t Cool to be Crazy About You”
1986 | Peak: #1
It’s rare that the melody of a song’s verses is just about as memorable and catchy as its chorus, but such is the case with George Strait’s “It Ain’t Cool to be Crazy About You.” Just hearing the first strains of the simple piano intro makes it almost impossible to get the tune out of your head once it’s there. What’s more, words like “suave” and “debonair” make it nearly irresistible to sing along with.
Is it lightweight radio fluff? Yes.
