#and we got to 'Brown Chicken Brown Cow' by Trace Adkins and I was like 'yeah you probably don't want this one do you'

Song of the Day: February 25

“Watermelon Crawl” by Tracy Byrd

#song of the day #I just remembered to go back and edit this song file on my comp so it has the correct artist #it was so stupid funny--last week-ish Duncan and I were talking about the playlist I'd made for him to veto things off of #(neither of the boys are any good at telling me what songs of mine they /do/ like so we've landed on this variably-successful strategy #where instead I make a playlist of my best guesses for their taste and then as it plays through they tell me which songs I was wrong about) #and we got to 'Brown Chicken Brown Cow' by Trace Adkins and I was like 'yeah you probably don't want this one do you' #and he was like *extremely flat expression* No. Thanks. #and I told him I'd already remembered to remove 'Ala-Freakin-Bama' (also by Trace Adkins. same album and all) so I should get partial credi #and he was like mm. sure. #and I told him how I'd started with my 'all country music on my laptop' playlist for scaffolding #and then added in pretty much everything I had by other artists he'd seemed to enjoy before #(Duncan's more tolerant of this playlist-winnowing process than Nick is so his playlist starts with a much wider net #Nick's playlist I was a lot more cautious with because if I lose him at an early stage we'll never get a successful final product) #anyhow so Duncan rolled his eyes so mightily at the mention of Ala-Freakin-Bama and I was like actually you know what #here's all the songs I have by Trace Adkins. tell me which ones you /do/ want and we'll pull all the rest now (to save your eyeballs) #and he looked over the whole list (about twenty songs) and finally he said 'oh! Watermelon Crawl! I do like that one. at least there's one' #and I had to laugh and tell him 'actually I'm pretty sure that's mislabeled. that's a Tracy Byrd song' and he rolled his eyes again #turns out there's actually no Trace Adkins song Duncan will tolerate! no respect for the artistry of the Honky-Tonk Badonkadonk
