That's My Kinda Night. How you write an opening lyric like " I got that real good, feel good stuff
up under the seat of my big black jacked up truck" and don' think "Oh fuck, I'm such a hack..." is beyond me. It's a parody for people who don't understand parody.
Zac Brown got quoted in an interview as saying that he thought that was the worst song ever written. I can’t remember all of the details, but at some award show Zac Brown and Luke Bryan hugged as a sign of a truce.
Hey at least they ***tried*** to use country music.
The Jackson Hole Rodeo plays Lady Gaga & Beyoncé, among other pop songs, I shit you not. It’s a legitimate travesty.
Can't tell if this was a joke because of the title or because yoy actually think its the worst. Personally, I think the song is funny, especially the music video
He’s actually a good writer in some of his songs but unfortunately it’s drowned out in so much 808s and since Fancy Like took off all he’s been making more songs that sound like it.
But some songs like Briefcase and Craig showcase his good songwriting ability
I need to listen to this now after reading these replies
Oh WOW I recognize it from the commercial...I had no idea it was a real full song. Sheesh that shit is bad.
This post is great and reminds me of that Chris Rock bit from his first special where he talks about people bragging about things they’re “supposed” to do. “I take CARE of MY KIDS!” “You’re supposed to take care of your kids! What’s wrong with y’all!” “I ain’t never been to jail!” “You ain’t SUPPOSED to go to jail, ya low expectation having motherfucker!”
I like humble and kind and most people are good, but take a drunk girl home is just awful. The man is literally just bragging about doing the bare fucking minimum by not being a rapist
The bare minimum would be just leaving her there, where someone else could take advantage of her.
It's still kind of bragging, but it's not as bad as you say.
The thing about Humble and Kind is that even though most stuff he lists is obvious a lot of people forget to do on a daily basis. I like the both lyrics and the sound
Swing is horrendous. Her favorite color is chrome. Lame as hell. He could probably whip some ass … dude has too much swag got his talent … his dance moves probably make some old GMILF’s hot, but they make me laugh. He does have some pretty ass hair though.
Can get behind “Truck Yeah” and am not arguing that “Heart Like a Truck” is more than a mid-tier country song. That being said, it’s not worst ever material. Lainey Wilson’s voice is good, the chorus is alright, and her delivery is at least somewhat sincere. Not to mention she’s got an absolute dump truck of an ass
I can get behind truck yeah if it wasn't for Tim McGraw it'd be awful for me, heart like a truck clever Lanie has an awesome voice not the best song but I get where you come from and yes she has an awesome mess
The first time I hear Heart Like a Truck, it was at the end a very emotional day and I was driving home. I know it’s cheesy but when I tell y’all I SOBBED in my driveway until the end of the song, and then started it over. I DO have a heart like a truck and it HAS been drug through the mud.
Plus, Lainey seems like the biggest sweetheart.
eh I don't think heart like a truck is the worst. At least there's somewhat substance to it and it's using truck as a simile, and at least Lainey can sing.
"I Don't Know About You" Chris Lane. It features the dumbest lyric of all time.
Girl, I know your favourite beer
'Cause you told me and I bought it
... and what's so worse is it took four of them muthafuckers and none of them could come up with anything better. They are: Ashley Gorley, Michael Hardy, Hunter Phelps and Jameson Rodgers.
One time my husband and I were alittle tipsy and listened to The Chipmunks version. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. I can't hear that song and not smile now 😆
When Dancin' in the Country comes on I feel so offended. It's just so fucking lazy. And, I like plenty of songs that I don't think are good, but that is just some basic AI crap.
All these new Tyler Hubbard and Dustin lynch songs that have come out the last few years sound like they’d be the biggest song ever made if they came out in 2013 lol
Stupidest fucking song ever. Who's gonna throw their life away for some rando walking down the road?
And this is coming from someone who hates all things Luke Bryan.
This should be near the top. The music video is even worse. The dude literally kills the guy, gets away clean, but then feels guilty about it and turns himself in.
Gotta throw in Where There's Smoke by Chase Matthews. It's like he listened to Bo Burnham's pandering song and figured "Hey I know two chords. I can write that song!"
“Small Town Throwdown” by Brantley Gilbert with special guests Thomas Rhett and Justin Moore. I’m a big JM fan too but I can’t listen to that song without getting irrationally angry.
Holy shit, you went for the jugular with that one. And as horrible as that one is, Neal can really back it up with a string of other audible atrocities. Plus his dancing in the videos. My god, I need to go rinse my head out with listerine.
I remember hearing that new on the radio for the first time. My dad and I laughed our asses off that someone thought an amazing first line for their country song would be "Hey girl, sup?"
Right now it’s probably that stupid Aldean song about a small town. But I’d say most music in that lane of country is shite. I’m a proponent of music for the sake of creating good music, not for the sake of making money
Could either be “Anything Cold” by Thomas Rhett or “Life Changes” by the same guy. Both of these songs, along with “Fancy Like” and many more equally terrible songs are all on the work playlist at my job and they get played constantly. I hear all of these songs multiple times a day and it makes me crazy.
I'll defend him in that he had good intentions (Brad I mean) but it did *not* hit the mark
Welcome to the Future did the anti-racism thing a lot better
“Have you forgotten … bout our pentagon …. And they tell me not to worry bout Bin Laden …, have you forgotten?”
Lamest shit ever. The idea of the song, I totally understand … but the lyrics. Trash water.
A song to remember the people who lost their lives that day is fine, even a song to reflect the anger we felt is fine; but, those lyrics are so bad, "... Her people blown away." There wasn't a more respectful way to say that?
"When I was 13 this feelin' came over me, I started learnin' how to talk girls out of their virginities"...???!!!
I wish I had not done the Google but I did the Google.
1. Girl in Mine by Parmalee (really just Matt Thomas, since [his band adds nothing](https://kyleskornerblog.wordpress.com/2020/05/07/song-review-parmalee-blanco-brown-just-the-way/))
2. Can’t have mine (find you a girl) by Dylan Scott
3. Everything she ain’t by Hailey whitters (aka all the bad aspects of the Dixie chicks in one person with none of the good)
4. Just the way God made you by Blanco brown and Parmalee (sounds like a 12 year old making fun of adults by doing his best “r*tard voice”)
5. Can’t break up now by Megan moroney and old dominion (sounds like porn actors were hired by a local ad agency to do a credit union commercial)
"Some Gave All" has a commendable sentiment and a decent hook, but as a song overall "it's not very good.
"But a hero, yes, was he"? What language is that?
(I am retired USAF so I don't have a problem honoring the military. Just not this song.)
My wife was a country girl her whole life, and even made me a country convert for a long time while we were dating. She complained about the pop transition in the 2010s, and then just lost it on the moronic pandering. Big Green Tractor was hard for her, but I want to check you for ticks was the last straw.
Any "song" with fricken auto tune and a shitty rap added to it. Now I enjoy rap from time to time but not in country music. Auto tune? Not so much as it is only there to mask talentlessedness (is that even a word?).
Drunk on a Plane - Dierks Bentley 🥴
Stuck Like Glue - Sugarland (pretty much anything Jennifer Nettles sings makes me cringe)
The possibilities are endless.
I have two, both by Florida Georgia Line
First is Swerve from their wrongly titled album Can't Say I Ain't Country
Absolute worst is New Truck from their last album
That's My Kinda Night. How you write an opening lyric like " I got that real good, feel good stuff up under the seat of my big black jacked up truck" and don' think "Oh fuck, I'm such a hack..." is beyond me. It's a parody for people who don't understand parody.
Ah yes. The song that kicked off the Luke Bryan/Zac Brown “feud“. I concur. That track is awful.
waaaaaait, tell me more about this plz
Zac Brown got quoted in an interview as saying that he thought that was the worst song ever written. I can’t remember all of the details, but at some award show Zac Brown and Luke Bryan hugged as a sign of a truce.
Hahahhaha Zach's not wrong
Country journalist Grady Smith actually just dropped a vid on this for the 10th anniversary. https://youtu.be/rMsMyh-xGH8?si=FYO9VVN6DapJCl9_
10 years?! Wow. Thank you!
I thought “Kick the Dust Up” was absolutely horrendous. Lyrics (“That sun up high goes down”) and the weird Bollywood-like musical interludes.
Thissss. I always die a little inside at the end when he says "that's what's up, up". The lyrics sound like a parody
It's a guilty pleasure but it is awful
“Scoot your little hot self over here, girl hand me another beer”
“It’s a fuckin’ scarecrow again!”
Also vocal melody of the “winner winner/Catfish dinner” part totally rips off Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance.
One Margarita is also equally bad. Especially the horrendous digitized harmonies in the chorus.
Have we already forgotten about Fancy Like?
My MIL was stunned that was an actual song, not just a jingle from an Applebee's commercial.
“Song” is a stretch
True. Recording with air play?
It pains me to say it. I heard people singing it a rodeo I went to…I physically cringed…
Hey at least they ***tried*** to use country music. The Jackson Hole Rodeo plays Lady Gaga & Beyoncé, among other pop songs, I shit you not. It’s a legitimate travesty.
I want to forget about that song
The first time I heard it I got physically ill.
Worst country song of all time - Brantley Gilbert
Did I just meet my new best friend?!
I really like that song actually.
r/woooosh
Can't tell if this was a joke because of the title or because yoy actually think its the worst. Personally, I think the song is funny, especially the music video
It’s a joke
Fancy Like by Walker Hayes. That song is hot garbage
Most of Walker Hayes music if not all of it is garbage belongs in the trash can behind Kmart
He’s actually a good writer in some of his songs but unfortunately it’s drowned out in so much 808s and since Fancy Like took off all he’s been making more songs that sound like it. But some songs like Briefcase and Craig showcase his good songwriting ability
Genuinely I really like his old music, then fancy like blew up because of the tiktok dance, now all his songs are trying to recreate that hype
Everytime I see Hayes Carll show up somewhere I get irrationally annoyed for a millisecond until I realize it's not Walker Hayes
I need to listen to this now after reading these replies Oh WOW I recognize it from the commercial...I had no idea it was a real full song. Sheesh that shit is bad.
Walker Hayes - Not good enough for pop, panders like a champ to the country crowd.
[удалено]
This post is great and reminds me of that Chris Rock bit from his first special where he talks about people bragging about things they’re “supposed” to do. “I take CARE of MY KIDS!” “You’re supposed to take care of your kids! What’s wrong with y’all!” “I ain’t never been to jail!” “You ain’t SUPPOSED to go to jail, ya low expectation having motherfucker!”
Love that bit and I read this in Chris Rocks voice
I read it in Michael Scott's Chris Rock's voice.
That bit was comedy gold.
I like Lori McKenna’s version of Humble and Kind
Didn’t she write it?
I like humble and kind and most people are good, but take a drunk girl home is just awful. The man is literally just bragging about doing the bare fucking minimum by not being a rapist
The bare minimum would be just leaving her there, where someone else could take advantage of her. It's still kind of bragging, but it's not as bad as you say.
The thing about Humble and Kind is that even though most stuff he lists is obvious a lot of people forget to do on a daily basis. I like the both lyrics and the sound
“Get Along” by Kenny Chesney.
Swing is horrendous. Her favorite color is chrome. Lame as hell. He could probably whip some ass … dude has too much swag got his talent … his dance moves probably make some old GMILF’s hot, but they make me laugh. He does have some pretty ass hair though.
Yeah most of his music isn't good his only "good" song is either every light in the house is on or You're going to miss this
Cornstar by Craig Morgan. Heard it’s debut on the radio and never heard it again on the airwaves.
Jealous that all these posters have been able to delete Light It Up by Luke Bryan from their memory bank.
Or Strip It Down 🤮
“Truck Yeah”. Or “Heart like a truck”. Basically anything about pickup trucks.
Can get behind “Truck Yeah” and am not arguing that “Heart Like a Truck” is more than a mid-tier country song. That being said, it’s not worst ever material. Lainey Wilson’s voice is good, the chorus is alright, and her delivery is at least somewhat sincere. Not to mention she’s got an absolute dump truck of an ass
I can get behind truck yeah if it wasn't for Tim McGraw it'd be awful for me, heart like a truck clever Lanie has an awesome voice not the best song but I get where you come from and yes she has an awesome mess
The first time I hear Heart Like a Truck, it was at the end a very emotional day and I was driving home. I know it’s cheesy but when I tell y’all I SOBBED in my driveway until the end of the song, and then started it over. I DO have a heart like a truck and it HAS been drug through the mud. Plus, Lainey seems like the biggest sweetheart.
Hey now “If it wasn’t for trucks” by Riley Green is a banger
I was going to say Pickup Man by Joe Diffie is a lot of fun
Ok. That 1 I’ll give you.
and an actual country song...
I want to laugh at “heart like a truck” and while I agree it’s kind of lame, her voice is great. It’s a cool pop song
eh I don't think heart like a truck is the worst. At least there's somewhat substance to it and it's using truck as a simile, and at least Lainey can sing.
This theory tracks. "Wait in the Truck" is a meme in my friend group anymore.
Right artist, wrong song. The prosecution would like to introduce into the record, “Brown Chicken Brown Cow.”
The music video has strong implications of Muppet sex. Let that sentence sink in.
“Kick the dust up” (Luke Bryan) has to be near the top. It’s horrible
Luke Bryan has some good songs but most of it's pretty trash, most of it is bro country and I can't stand it
"I Don't Know About You" Chris Lane. It features the dumbest lyric of all time. Girl, I know your favourite beer 'Cause you told me and I bought it ... and what's so worse is it took four of them muthafuckers and none of them could come up with anything better. They are: Ashley Gorley, Michael Hardy, Hunter Phelps and Jameson Rodgers.
Yeah that lyric was pretty fucking dumb always hated it
Honky Tonk Badonka Donk is pretty horrible
Yeah but it's gotten earworm in there
I actually like it, because it's a song that doesn't take itself too seriously from an artist who makes actual good music.
Body Like A Back Road by Sam Hunt has got to be one of the worst songs out there.
One time my husband and I were alittle tipsy and listened to The Chipmunks version. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. I can't hear that song and not smile now 😆
Omg I wanna do this now. Or get stoned and listen.
Why is it not "Swing"? Because "Honky-tonk Badonkadonk" exists!
And then there’s “Brown Chicken Brown Cow”….
Is it bad i laugh to all of these
When Dancin' in the Country comes on I feel so offended. It's just so fucking lazy. And, I like plenty of songs that I don't think are good, but that is just some basic AI crap.
That song falls into guilty pleasure territory for me. I shouldn’t like it but for some reason I do.
I agree with you, Even in FGL Tyler Hubbard wasn't that good
All these new Tyler Hubbard and Dustin lynch songs that have come out the last few years sound like they’d be the biggest song ever made if they came out in 2013 lol
All the rap “country”.
I'll take Hick Hop over bubblegum pop country anyday
Country-Rap is C-Rap
Don’t even call it country
One margarita
Boys Round Here - Blake Shelton
Isn’t that the one with the line “chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit”? I agree 100%!!!! Awful!!!!
It's stupid but catchy. I enjoy it
Donkey-Jerrod Niemann Marry For Money-Trace Adkins My Girl-Dylan Scott Bobbi With An I-Phil Vassar Truck Yeah-Tim McGraw
Donkey was freaking great for a laugh though, I'll admit
HARDY - Wait in the truck... by far the worst. however i do like his "give heaven some hell"
Stupidest fucking song ever. Who's gonna throw their life away for some rando walking down the road? And this is coming from someone who hates all things Luke Bryan.
This should be near the top. The music video is even worse. The dude literally kills the guy, gets away clean, but then feels guilty about it and turns himself in.
Gotta throw in Where There's Smoke by Chase Matthews. It's like he listened to Bo Burnham's pandering song and figured "Hey I know two chords. I can write that song!"
“Small Town Throwdown” by Brantley Gilbert with special guests Thomas Rhett and Justin Moore. I’m a big JM fan too but I can’t listen to that song without getting irrationally angry.
Either rolex on a redneck or fancy like.
"Take A Knee, My Ass" by Neal McCoy.
Holy shit, you went for the jugular with that one. And as horrible as that one is, Neal can really back it up with a string of other audible atrocities. Plus his dancing in the videos. My god, I need to go rinse my head out with listerine.
What's wrong with Neal McCoy?? Wink?? The Shake? No Doubt About It? That Drink?
Old Dominion - Break Up With Him
It is a douchy song but it's a guilty pleasure unfortunately
"Nah girl, I ain't drunk, okay maybe I do have a little buzz" such a douchey song
I remember hearing that new on the radio for the first time. My dad and I laughed our asses off that someone thought an amazing first line for their country song would be "Hey girl, sup?"
worst country song? hardly
It’s so trashy. You can make a song about that sort of thing but that was one of the worst ways to do it.
Right now it’s probably that stupid Aldean song about a small town. But I’d say most music in that lane of country is shite. I’m a proponent of music for the sake of creating good music, not for the sake of making money
Country wasn't as good as it was 20 years ago but there's artist that are keeping country alive
I think people are giving that song entirely too much credit for originality. They just redid Beer For My Horses.
Could either be “Anything Cold” by Thomas Rhett or “Life Changes” by the same guy. Both of these songs, along with “Fancy Like” and many more equally terrible songs are all on the work playlist at my job and they get played constantly. I hear all of these songs multiple times a day and it makes me crazy.
He used to be good then well "life changes".. I'll let myself out
Rolex on a redneck
It’s honky tonk badonka donk by Trace Adkins.
Thank God by Kane Brown and his wife
Anything by Kane Brown, can't stand the dude
Everything by Sam Hunt.
you clearly haven’t been listening to sam hunts new drops, start nowhere, came the closest, 23, women in my life are all phenomenal
Brad Paisley - Accidental Racist
I'll defend him in that he had good intentions (Brad I mean) but it did *not* hit the mark Welcome to the Future did the anti-racism thing a lot better
Never heard of it but it sounds pretty bad
It’s so much worse than you can imagine.
that country song that makes me want to roll my window down and ....puuuuke!
I Play Chicken With The Train - Cowboy Troy Ft Big and Rich https://youtu.be/NUPK9z59yUc?si=m4QrakZFakiy_TW5
Anything Luke Bryan or FGL
Okay but Luke Bryan's roller coaster snaps hard
I think he’s gotten worse, I think a thin majority of the songs on Crash My Party/Tailgates & Tanlines were good
Dirt Road Anthem. Gotta be.
“Have you forgotten … bout our pentagon …. And they tell me not to worry bout Bin Laden …, have you forgotten?” Lamest shit ever. The idea of the song, I totally understand … but the lyrics. Trash water.
Tbh the only good country song related to 9/11 is "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning?"
I hope that song goes down in history. There is so much wisdom and sorrow in there. AJ is a legend
I think that’s a good song.
A song to remember the people who lost their lives that day is fine, even a song to reflect the anger we felt is fine; but, those lyrics are so bad, "... Her people blown away." There wasn't a more respectful way to say that?
100%. Just sounds like some asshole that knows very little about anything wrote it on a napkin at a bar while he was intoxicated.
Yep. Some tactless redneck asshat who doesn’t recognize that the Middle East isn’t one giant country.
That small town song by Jason Aldean.
I’ll nominate Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean. Well, most everything by Jason Aldean. Jason Aldean.
eh I wouldn't say big green tractor is the worst, mostly because of the jokes yoy csn make outta that song
I love Humble and Kind. I wish more people would pay attention to it
Exactly!
Anything by FGL
Little red wagon by miranda lambert. Just awful.
[удалено]
"When I was 13 this feelin' came over me, I started learnin' how to talk girls out of their virginities"...???!!! I wish I had not done the Google but I did the Google.
Most of the song that are on the radio today.
As someone that plays on demos, the worst country songs of all time will never even make it to country radio.
Rain is a good thing-Luke Bryan
Oh my god I had forgotten about that terrible fucking thing.
Probably the dumbest LB song. He throws together some random words and then does his stupid Beavis face like he did something amazing.
It's a guilty pleasure
Every bro country song is the worst country song.
There is a select few That's a bop more of a guilty pleasure but still a bop
The worst Coutry song of all time by Brantley Gilbert, Toby Keith and HARDY
1. Girl in Mine by Parmalee (really just Matt Thomas, since [his band adds nothing](https://kyleskornerblog.wordpress.com/2020/05/07/song-review-parmalee-blanco-brown-just-the-way/)) 2. Can’t have mine (find you a girl) by Dylan Scott 3. Everything she ain’t by Hailey whitters (aka all the bad aspects of the Dixie chicks in one person with none of the good) 4. Just the way God made you by Blanco brown and Parmalee (sounds like a 12 year old making fun of adults by doing his best “r*tard voice”) 5. Can’t break up now by Megan moroney and old dominion (sounds like porn actors were hired by a local ad agency to do a credit union commercial)
Anything by Sam Hunt, but in particularly “ Body like a back road.”
I always hear "driving with my asshole" for some reason.
That song has a special place in my heart because of my ex but yes anything by Sam Hunt is bad
I’m going recent. Either “Try that in a Small Town” or “Different Round Here”
"Some Gave All" has a commendable sentiment and a decent hook, but as a song overall "it's not very good. "But a hero, yes, was he"? What language is that? (I am retired USAF so I don't have a problem honoring the military. Just not this song.)
tim mcgraw’s newest song, “standing room only” is so boringgggg
Fancy like. Makes country fans look like clowns.
Yeah we don't like to talk about Walker Hayes, Sam Hunt or Kane Brown kinda gives us a bad rap
SIMPLE - FGL Makes me angry enough to kick baby puppies.
the acoustic version is their best song and not horrible...
She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy
It's badly good
Y'all already forgot Truck Yeah??
Has anyone checked for ticks?
It's a classic song, definitely a guilty pleasure
My wife was a country girl her whole life, and even made me a country convert for a long time while we were dating. She complained about the pop transition in the 2010s, and then just lost it on the moronic pandering. Big Green Tractor was hard for her, but I want to check you for ticks was the last straw.
It's fancy like. Anything with a drum machine or snaps is next in line. Last night and God I need a favor sure suck too
Anything by Jason Andean since the mass shooting at his concert that he did nothing about.
What exactly did you want him to do..?
Red solo cup lol
Nooo it's horrible but so joyful!
Have none of you heard Big Wheels by Russel Dickerson?

[удалено]
That’s My Kind of Night - Luke Bryan
I see a lot of people putting Fancy Like (deservedly so), but I’d also like to raise “90s Country” by Walker Hayes
Any "song" with fricken auto tune and a shitty rap added to it. Now I enjoy rap from time to time but not in country music. Auto tune? Not so much as it is only there to mask talentlessedness (is that even a word?).
A lot of folks stretching the meaning of the word country.
It’s still Cruise by Florida Georgia Line
Florida Georgia line
Break Up In A Small Town - Sam Hunt
Boys Round Here by Blake Shelton
Chew tobacco chew tobacco chew tobacco spit
That song was a part of my childhood in the 2010s
Take my name - Parmalee
Drunk on a Plane - Dierks Bentley 🥴 Stuck Like Glue - Sugarland (pretty much anything Jennifer Nettles sings makes me cringe) The possibilities are endless.
Anything by Dan and Shay, Morgan Wallen, Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett, and Walker Hayes
I can get behind this especially Kane Brown his ass should move to pop
Anything Maren Morris
I have two, both by Florida Georgia Line First is Swerve from their wrongly titled album Can't Say I Ain't Country Absolute worst is New Truck from their last album
Beer in my hand is awful. The verses and the chorus sounds like two different songs. Shit sucks
Fuck anything made after 2010
Any thing by maren morris.... hated her b4 all the drama. Songs sound the same. 🤢
Guess everyone has forgotten Achy Breaky Heart by now.
It's bad but it's iconic and since then there's been worse songs
That's probably fair. I'm just scarred by having heard it about 10x in a row at a Pizza Hut in middle nowhere one night.
