As a fan of REAL country music (Johnny Cash, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Randy Travis, etc.), it is a shame that this is the kind of drivel that is dominating the airwaves. What makes it worse is that there is stuff like The Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, The Decemberists, Iron and Wine, and The Civil Wars out there that can't get any radio time because of this crap. This, this, and this. The bar that I work at has a strict "country only" rule for the radio and I put it on the old country station so I can spend my shift listening to Johnny Cash and such instead of the crap they make today. I love old country music but the stuff today makes me wanna run through a playground swinging a bag of bricks just because it's so brain-numbingly dumb. Red Solo cups don't mean it's time to party, it mean finish your beer quick because Red Solo cups keep shit cold for like 45 seconds.

It's not as deep as a bunch of guys who dress up like S&M clowns and sing, "I wanna rock n' roll all night, and party everyday," but you know they can't all be quite that deep. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I'm going to be "that guy".
I'm not really into "real" country (admittedly I've never "given it a chance"), but I actually find country pop pretty catchy.

I just... WHAT?! How in god's name is "I want to check you for ticks" supposed to flatter a girl? It's sounds like an implication that she's unsanitary!

Since it seems so easy to write mainstream country music lyrics, I thought I'd give it a try.
The name of this song is "You Make My Rooster Crow Twice":
Ridin' around in my pick-up truck Splashin' through the mud and the muck Then I see the girl that I love the most Wearing cowboy boots and sitting on a fence post
Girl get on your knees And I'll check your head for lice But I'm beggin' you please Make my rooster crow twice
Drinkin' beer all night Underneath the moonlight Wanna make you gag While I salute the flag
Girl get on your knees And I'll check your head for lice But I'm beggin' you please Make my rooster crow twice
You & me baby can get it on During the Dukes of Hazard marathon The things I'd do to you are obscene You got me bustin' outta my Wrangler jeans
Girl get on your knees And I'll check your head for lice But I'm beggin' you please Make my rooster crow twice

In defense of Brad on this one, when he won an award for this song, in his acceptance speech, he basically called his fans idiots, and said he writes songs about the dumbest stuff he can think of because people will buy it. I call it the Hulk Hogan method: you have the ability to be good at your craft (in Brad's case very good) but when you can make massive dough doing less, you might as well.

You should honestly record this or give it to some novelty act/YouTube comedian who will.

I knew that "Truck Yeah" would be included in this. At it's worst the songwriters on music row are just plain embarrassing with their contrived lyrics. Since we're on the subject of bad country songs, can someone explain to me exactly how "We're never ever getting back together" is a country song.? Because it is sung by an artist that was once countryish. That makes it country in most people's eyes. I hate what mainstream country has done to people's perception of country music. The lyrics in genuine country songs can be absolutely beautiful, and romantic. My favourite lyric from a country song is from 'She' by Gram Parsons, I've never heard one like it - 'Even though she wasn't very pretty/deep down inside his heart he knew she was the only one.'

I may be wrong, but I think perception began to change more when freakin' Nickelback had a "country" song about wanting to be a rock star. It seems, after that, as soon as you add a twang to a line, you get to call it country regardless of anything else. There were popular country songs before, but that was one of the earlier times I can remember when a non-country star got play as country songs. You had bad lyrics before in pop country, but I can't remember it being worse before then.

Nobody's mentioned this gem yet?
This is so bad I have it on my iPod as it cracks me up every time I hear it. It's basically become a game of finding as many stereotypical lyrics as possible in the song.

Current country, along with nu-metal, emo and post-grunge, are the worst things to ever happen to music.

Big Green Tractor has been a running gag between my wife and I ever since my dad started listening to country music again.

The last time I listened to modern country, the song with all the playtime was "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk".
I was also a drinker at the time, so put 2 and 2 together there. (I don't drink anymore - and none of that I don't drink any less either.)

As a fan of REAL country music (Johnny Cash, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Randy Travis, etc.), it is a shame that this is the kind of drivel that is dominating the airwaves. What makes it worse is that there is stuff like The Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, The Decemberists, Iron and Wine, and The Civil Wars out there that can't get any radio time because of this crap. came into this thread to namedrop the Avett Bros. I straight up detest 99% of the genre, but these guys are amazing
