That was awful. Pardon me while I jam a couple of chopsticks in my ears.

Give them to me when you're done ;)

Green. I think one of the admins is just trying to piss us off out of sheer perversity ;)

FTFY. But I agree with the chopsticks.

More like cowpunk rather than country.

I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but I can say with certainty that that wasn't it.

Fail.

Country is NEVER cool. It is the absolute ANTITHESIS of cool.

Best version of Hey Ya ever.

Thread over, I win. Oh, and the video in TFA sucks on ice.

That video looked gay. Not being mean about it, I truly believe that video caters to the homosexual male set.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who saw it as somewhat Brokebackish

I've always liked this cover of Hey Ya:

/get it from Fark a while back

That WAS a little.. um... rough, I guess. But at least it had ONE interesting moment. SJP made a cameo at 51 seconds. Who would have expected THAT?

 
syrynxx [TotalFark] 2008-06-29 10:01:54 AM  
That was so bad I think it gave me cancer.

 
ManRay [TotalFark] 2008-06-29 10:22:32 AM  
It's always funny to me when you do an out of genre cover, it exposes how fragile the original was. For instance:

My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure

is just not the same.


/the linked song sucks in so many ways, I will just move on to something else.

That was anti-cool as well. Just keep it simple, Cash.

 
Farkomatic 2008-06-29 11:07:16 AM  
If by "cool", you meant "creepy", then I'd agree with subby.

I agree in most cases. But when it's Germans singing Country, the curve goes up.

Johny Cash flushed more cool down his toilet than you'll come close to in your lifetime, putz.

That explains the thinly veiled homoeroticism.

/I enjoyed it

Honestly, I have no real problems with the rich tapestry that is
human sexuality but the chicks
with the horse tail leather 'boy shorts'?

That's a little much, even for me.

THIS!!!

Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson... What's cooler?

Merle Haggard perhaps?

That was a bigger piece of shiat than a Serbian sports car.

Was the Riley Martin in the intro?

Came in to post this. It really is pretty good, though I think he could've been a little less true to the original and cut a few of the "shake it" lines without losing anything.

 
Cold1s 2008-06-29 10:04:10 PM  
That was other than "cool".
