@christinerenee I got through 9 seconds (he starts singing at the 5 second point) of the Janson song before I said “oh, hell no!” and stopped it. I tried to go back and just pay attention to the lyrics in the context of how they were referenced in Matthew’s video, but I just couldn’t finish it.
I fully recognize and respect that taste is subjective and that my own taste in music almost certainly sucks. I dislike Kanye West’s music (for example), but after an initial “ugh”, I can just tune it out if another person within earshort is listening to it. But this song just finds the sweet spot (bitter spot?) in my cranium that make me cringe.
To reiterate, I am not disparaging Mr. Janson or anyone that likes his music, I just “cain’t” (to use his word) tolerate this song.
Can we talk about how silly it is that big Ford trucks are called “Super Duty”. I mean, if it were called “Super Heavy Duty” I would understand. Super Duty doesn’t make much since and just sounds really silly for a manly truck.

You know what they say about Boats. The two best days in the life of a boat owner are the day they buy the boat, and the day they find someone dumb enough to sell it to.
I thoroughly enjoyed this pointless video
way more than the song

Watch Chris Janson’s “Buy Me a Boat”:
It’s on the ipod in my car. The song, not the video.

Also I think he should win an award for the content of this song:
There are so many country songs out there about getting girls drunk- it’s about time.

I heard a cover of this song performed live today. I feel like I enjoyed it more due to this post.
Rap-ala or Ra-pala?
Red neck, White trash, Blue collar - sounds like he’s as American as it gets. Or at least a huge fan of the flag…
@IWUJackson I’ve heard this song 1000 times and never put together the red white blue thing until reading it written out just now. So thanks.
Will you dive into the deep intricacies of everyone’s favorite band Nickelback’s song “Rockstar”?
We saw Chris Janson in concert a few weeks back. He totally upstaged the band he opened for. Spirit Fingers!!! Here’s another song you might like.
At first I thought @matthew’s hat said “RuPaul”
/giphy RuPaul
Maybe he thinks taxes are really high for rich folks?

That was a nice song, but I think the pickup truck was a Nissan titan, not a silver-a-do.
@eonfifty Rednecks don’t drive imports. The did a survey at the Alabama concert I went to. (Ford won by a landslide.)
Seems legit.

@eonfifty I saw Ford product placement very clearly, but not rewatching to see if it was the only truck shown.
I just picked an expensive truck to give the songwriter the benefit of the doubt.
I was gonna comment on the video that meh.com sent me here, but comments are disabled. That’s no fun.
@medz said no one on youtube. oh.
