What song makes you laugh?
00:04
There's so many great 90's country songs that
00:08
use so many different paint brushes to paint
00:12
but they wrote stuff back then that nobody's writing now. There's a great song
00:16
by Mark Chestnut called Bubba Shot the Jute Box. Not only is it just
00:20
hilarious and funny but it's so well written. I'd also say not only
00:24
is one of the songs that makes me laugh, it's also one of the songs that makes me just super appreciate
00:28
Nashville songwriting because for these guys to come in
00:32
to work one day to write a song and some guy goes, I got an idea for a song
00:36
it's called Bubba Shot the Jute Box last night and these guys go, yeah I love it
00:40
let's write it and just to write it so well in a way that's so funny
00:44
but also such a great story from beginning to end
00:48
not only is it a funny song, it's a perfect example of some of the best
00:52
songwriting in Nashville looks like. One song I wish I'd written
00:56
whenever I hear Miranda Lambert's The House That Built Me
01:00
I think that's what
01:02
that's a song I wish I'd written
01:04
and a song I never could write because it's just so well written
01:06
Tom Douglas song
01:08
that's just
01:10
it's a beautiful song, I think so many people
01:12
can relate to you know
01:14
having a dog buried under the tree and
01:16
going back by that house
01:18
that someone else is living in now
01:20
or sadly enough my house that I grew up in
01:22
and replaced with something else
01:24
took my kids to go see my childhood house one time
01:26
there's just a big dirt
01:28
strip of brown dirt
01:30
nothing left
01:32
and then they built some huge house on it
01:34
but yeah I just think that song is so well written
01:36
and I wish I'd written The House That Built Me
01:38
by Miranda Lambert. You know, growing up in Arizona
01:40
my dad loved country music, we drove around the car
01:42
just listening to it, just listening to radio
01:44
Rainy Travis was, you know, someone who was
01:46
big on the radio back then and
01:48
one of his songs on the other hand
01:50
just a great Rainy Travis song
01:52
great country song, you know
01:54
wow
01:56
about, you know, on the one hand we could be hanging out
01:58
but on the other hand there's a golden band
02:00
you know, being married
02:02
just
02:04
straight up great country music by
02:06
one of the greatest country singers of all time
02:08
it reminds me of driving around with my dad in Arizona
02:10
growing up. What song do I sing in the car when nobody's listening?
02:12
you know, my car
02:14
now, you know, I grew up, my dad
02:16
had control of the radio
02:18
now my kids have control of the radio
02:20
so, it's whatever they're playing
02:22
if I'm around with my daughter, I'll probably sing along
02:24
top of my lungs to a Noah Kahn song
02:26
it's my son Knox
02:28
it's probably some rap song
02:30
it might be an NF song
02:32
when we're listening to the clean rap
02:34
and it's my song, my daughter Jordan
02:36
I have a, on my XM radio
02:38
I have the Broadway station
02:40
so, I might be singing along
02:42
the top of my lungs to a D. Irvin Hanson song
02:44
you never know
