I think I finally reached old man status; I have no idea who that is or what that song is.

That's not old man status. Not knowing about this artist or song is a mark of good taste.
Here's the chorus:
She's from Texas, I can tell by the way He's two-steppin' 'round the room And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face There's nothin' I can do It doesn't take a crystal ball to see A cowboy always finds a way to leave Drinkin' Jack all by myself He's choosin' Texas, I can tell
I'm grateful I've never heard it because from reading the lyrics, she's pining for a total loser. On top of all that, there's even an official remix by Drake.
Edit: fixed spelling

Pro tip: two spaces at the end of a line create a line break without a new paragraph.

Literally ever country song could be AI generated and not a single speck of quality would be lost.

a song isnt bad just because the singer is pining for a loser. lots of people do that in real life, why cant a song do that

Likewise, and also old enough to miss "actual" country music. This stuff is such piss-weak bland pop-country bullshit and generic as fuck. It's a caricature of the real thing.

Thank you for the answer. I did go and look up who this person was. I'm usually at least vaguely aware of artists who set records, and I've never heard of this singer. I am also officially old and out of the loop.

I myself do hear of some of them, but now I've been hit with the triple whammy of being old, not being USian, and not giving a damn about country music.

Mariah Carey is a pretty famous artist who may or may not have a grunge album.

It’s not a good song

Haven't heard it, but it can't be more irritating then Mariah Carey's solstice shit.
iamericandre@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2d
I actually don’t mind MC at Christmas. Do I want to hear it on repeat, of course not but it’s not as ear bludgeoning as most people find it.

Who's paying to keep it there? That song is crap.

Will I ever have heard this?

My country-listening kid has heard the song and wonders who is streaming it. Not popular in their friend group. This is the first I've heard of Ella. 🤷

Ok, so, I went to watch the music video cause I never heard of this lady nor song. I haven't even gotten to the song yet, but the hats, in a car, in a bar!? Them hats are big and damn stiff. How in the world is that man driving with one on? They aren't peak comfort either, relaxing in a bar? Naw, more like trying to avoid knocking it on everything and everyone that gets close.
Do people really wear that shit in a bar? No one is wearing it driving, let alone hauling a trailer. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I wish I could watch things and not notice shit like this.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2d
Yes. It's absolutely a thing. You think it's irritating in the setting of the video? Try going to a concert where idiots have these on. It blocks everyone's view, yet they all still do it.

I like to think I know whats what, even if I don't like it, but I honestly never even heard of this person or the song I think. I may officially be to old.
