Music Debate Number 3

DING! Round number three.

This time, the debate features my cousin Christy. Sadly, she lives in Florida and we rarely get to see each other, but she's super awesome. We communicate daily via the Web, and we learn we are more alike everyday, which is somewhat scary. Christy has a few of her own blogs: one I would consider a regular blog (http://superteetee.blogspot.com/); a really cool blog for her business that you should all check out (http://pointtakeninc.blogspot.com/); and my favorite, a blog compiling all of the funny things her two little girls say (http://dontlickthebook.blogspot.com/).

Because we both really dislike country music, our blog is each of us counting down our top five most hated country songs. Without further ado...

Janelle's Top Five:

5. "Beer Run" by Garth Brooks and George Jones

Look, if I was ever made to listen to country music, Garth Brooks wouldn't be the worst, honestly. Problem is, he wrote so many songs, he ran out of topics. Hence, "Beer Run" was born. No one said abort, and it was sent out to radio stations. Plus, Todd Snider did a song called "Beer Run" that was much better. Why? Because he's a comedian. They're supposed to write songs about stupid things.

4. "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus

I don't really need to say anything. It's old. I'm over it. Billy Ray is a walking joke, and we all know it. If the mullet, this song, and Miley Cyrus weren't enough, he was on Doc.

3. "Trashy Women" by Confederate Railroad

This is just an abomination of all things. Ever. The resemble a five-piece shit storm. They're old, mulleted, and dirty. Then they wrote a song about how they "like their women just a little on the trashy side". Hint: You didn't have to make it big to pick up trash-tastic women. You could have parked the Camaro outside of the trailer park, charged a six-pack of Natty for admission. The trash would have been overflowing, and no garbage man in their right mind would have come by to pick it up.

2. "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney

No, I don't. REALLY, I don't! Even when Jeff Barnes used to sing it, I didn't think so. WHO WRITES THIS CRAP?! An even better question: who gets turned on by a tractor?? If this is something that excites you, I really don't want to talk to you. Go get help, now.

1. "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" by Travis Tritt

Travis Tritt is just.... the most disgusting human to walk the planet. Have you seen him?! Ridiculousness.

I did try to use a picture I believe we put on love notes sent to random people senior year of high school. Just one more reason senior year was amazing.

Besides Travis being disgusting, he makes terrible music. It makes me want to vomit when I think of the time I actually put this song on a mixed CD. (And, Rachel, you would have to refresh my memory for sure, but wasn't it placed at the end of one of the Cock Rock CDs??) T-R-O-U-B-L-E is just.... yuck.

Thanks to Christy for this great idea for a blog. I'm actually pretty proud of this one.

Also, I promise not to wait so long until the next one. If anyone wants to blog with me, feel free to email/call/text me.
