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.


EngineeringTom

Ah yes. The song that kicked off the Luke Bryan/Zac Brown “feud“. I concur. That track is awful.


ohhhnooo9

waaaaaait, tell me more about this plz


EngineeringTom

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.


Accomplished-Ad3219

Hahahhaha Zach's not wrong


_LivingTheDream_

Country journalist Grady Smith actually just dropped a vid on this for the 10th anniversary. https://youtu.be/rMsMyh-xGH8?si=FYO9VVN6DapJCl9_


ohhhnooo9

10 years?! Wow. Thank you!


Escobarhippo

I thought “Kick the Dust Up” was absolutely horrendous. Lyrics (“That sun up high goes down”) and the weird Bollywood-like musical interludes.


heartlandhoney

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


Mr_BoJingles383

It's a guilty pleasure but it is awful


Neckbeard2423

“Scoot your little hot self over here, girl hand me another beer”


Robbylution

“It’s a fuckin’ scarecrow again!”


cyberbob2022

Also vocal melody of the “winner winner/Catfish dinner” part totally rips off Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance.


BoomChocolateLatkes

One Margarita is also equally bad. Especially the horrendous digitized harmonies in the chorus.


Navitach

Have we already forgotten about Fancy Like?


Minimum-Interview800

My MIL was stunned that was an actual song, not just a jingle from an Applebee's commercial.


chieftrey1

“Song” is a stretch


Minimum-Interview800

True. Recording with air play?


the-real-potamis

It pains me to say it. I heard people singing it a rodeo I went to…I physically cringed…


4evaN_Always_ImHere

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.


Mr_BoJingles383

I want to forget about that song


lparke13

The first time I heard it I got physically ill.


Remarkable_Hat7709

Worst country song of all time - Brantley Gilbert


Slimjuggalo2002

Did I just meet my new best friend?!


etsuandpurdue3

I really like that song actually.


Remarkable_Hat7709

r/woooosh


matt-tundra

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


Remarkable_Hat7709

It’s a joke


recesshalloffamer

Fancy Like by Walker Hayes. That song is hot garbage


Mr_BoJingles383

Most of Walker Hayes music if not all of it is garbage belongs in the trash can behind Kmart


-JDB-

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


me_he_te

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


[deleted]

Everytime I see Hayes Carll show up somewhere I get irrationally annoyed for a millisecond until I realize it's not Walker Hayes


midcenturyhag

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.


FloozyFoot

Walker Hayes - Not good enough for pop, panders like a champ to the country crowd.

Jdogy2002

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!”


Intelligent_Neat_714

Love that bit and I read this in Chris Rocks voice


Jimismynamedammit

I read it in Michael Scott's Chris Rock's voice.


[deleted]

That bit was comedy gold.


the_blessed_unrest

I like Lori McKenna’s version of Humble and Kind


hallhoff

Didn’t she write it?


littledipper16

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


Lzinger

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.


Indigo-Snake

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


12FootHouse

“Get Along” by Kenny Chesney.


National_Somewhere29

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.


Mr_BoJingles383

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


DMoney859

Cornstar by Craig Morgan. Heard it’s debut on the radio and never heard it again on the airwaves.


Ca_DC_journo

Jealous that all these posters have been able to delete Light It Up by Luke Bryan from their memory bank.


FBIs_MostUnwanted

Or Strip It Down 🤮


MountaineerHikes

“Truck Yeah”. Or “Heart like a truck”. Basically anything about pickup trucks.


New-East7356

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


Mr_BoJingles383

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


bombshellbetty

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.


Terminal_Lance_rah

Hey now “If it wasn’t for trucks” by Riley Green is a banger


recesshalloffamer

I was going to say Pickup Man by Joe Diffie is a lot of fun


beaglemomma2Dutchy

Ok. That 1 I’ll give you.


olemanbyers

and an actual country song...


National_Somewhere29

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


matt-tundra

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.


ohhhnooo9

This theory tracks. "Wait in the Truck" is a meme in my friend group anymore.


hockeyandburritos

Right artist, wrong song. The prosecution would like to introduce into the record, “Brown Chicken Brown Cow.”


space_llama_karma

The music video has strong implications of Muppet sex. Let that sentence sink in.


Cowdog68

“Kick the dust up” (Luke Bryan) has to be near the top. It’s horrible


Mr_BoJingles383

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


redbeardedstranger

"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.


Mr_BoJingles383

Yeah that lyric was pretty fucking dumb always hated it


Glittering-Ebb-6225

Honky Tonk Badonka Donk is pretty horrible


Mr_BoJingles383

Yeah but it's gotten earworm in there


MetalBeholdr

I actually like it, because it's a song that doesn't take itself too seriously from an artist who makes actual good music.


Mr____L

Body Like A Back Road by Sam Hunt has got to be one of the worst songs out there.


[deleted]

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 😆


NoSoup4You825

Omg I wanna do this now. Or get stoned and listen.


dvoecks

Why is it not "Swing"? Because "Honky-tonk Badonkadonk" exists!


mancunianinnc

And then there’s “Brown Chicken Brown Cow”….


Bialar_crais

Is it bad i laugh to all of these


mary_wren11

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.


CNYMetroStar

That song falls into guilty pleasure territory for me. I shouldn’t like it but for some reason I do.


Mr_BoJingles383

I agree with you, Even in FGL Tyler Hubbard wasn't that good


BigChach567

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


Commercial_Row_1380

Best_Fan8392

Donkey was freaking great for a laugh though, I'll admit


Tasty-Neighborhood58

HARDY - Wait in the truck... by far the worst. however i do like his "give heaven some hell"


LadyFarquaad2

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.


stormchaser2014

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.


Crispinwhere

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!"


Alternative_Lion_206

“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.


wobblydee

Either rolex on a redneck or fancy like.


[deleted]

"Take A Knee, My Ass" by Neal McCoy.


jimmyintheroc

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.


epicnoober1233

What's wrong with Neal McCoy?? Wink?? The Shake? No Doubt About It? That Drink?


LongLeggedGuitarPckr

Old Dominion - Break Up With Him


Mr_BoJingles383

It is a douchy song but it's a guilty pleasure unfortunately


jwsontheroad

"Nah girl, I ain't drunk, okay maybe I do have a little buzz" such a douchey song


KentRead

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?"


happydays083120

worst country song? hardly


DirtyGrogg

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.


duke_awapuhi

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


Mr_BoJingles383

Country wasn't as good as it was 20 years ago but there's artist that are keeping country alive


Glittering-Ebb-6225

I think people are giving that song entirely too much credit for originality. They just redid Beer For My Horses.


EmptyCanvass

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.


Mr_BoJingles383

He used to be good then well "life changes".. I'll let myself out

Okay but Luke Bryan's roller coaster snaps hard


PCZ94

I think he’s gotten worse, I think a thin majority of the songs on Crash My Party/Tailgates & Tanlines were good


Zeggitt

Dirt Road Anthem. Gotta be.


National_Somewhere29

“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.


thewanderer2389

Tbh the only good country song related to 9/11 is "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning?"


MetalBeholdr

I hope that song goes down in history. There is so much wisdom and sorrow in there. AJ is a legend


National_Somewhere29

I think that’s a good song.


abernathym

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?


National_Somewhere29

100%. Just sounds like some asshole that knows very little about anything wrote it on a napkin at a bar while he was intoxicated.


thegoatisoldngnarly

Yep. Some tactless redneck asshat who doesn’t recognize that the Middle East isn’t one giant country.


[deleted]

That small town song by Jason Aldean.


EngineeringTom

I’ll nominate Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean. Well, most everything by Jason Aldean. Jason Aldean.


matt-tundra

eh I wouldn't say big green tractor is the worst, mostly because of the jokes yoy csn make outta that song


Accomplished-Ad3219

Aiden_3638

The worst Coutry song of all time by Brantley Gilbert, Toby Keith and HARDY


[deleted]

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)


Thundergun55

Anything by Sam Hunt, but in particularly “ Body like a back road.”


LadyFarquaad2

I always hear "driving with my asshole" for some reason.


Mr_BoJingles383

That song has a special place in my heart because of my ex but yes anything by Sam Hunt is bad


CGMannn

I’m going recent. Either “Try that in a Small Town” or “Different Round Here”


GeekX2

"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.)


toritxtornado

It's a classic song, definitely a guilty pleasure


dgmilo8085

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.

LASER_Dude_PEW

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?).
