This actually sounds really good. I'm interested in hearing what the album is like.

Agreed with pen. The instrumental is very country-sounding, while the vocals are Rehab-ish.

I have to third this. Really not a bad song at all.

The website for this artist claims this is the first authorized Neil Young sample ever. I think it's really good and added it to my chart this week. I'm hoping it gets some alt radio attention.

Novelty song... rather hear Everlast "what it's like" for the 900th time. Not my style though. I thought the Rehab song was pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, this is certainly not a novelty song. If we're gonna throw the tag out that easily, then surely Hollywood Undead should be considered a novelty band.  Interesting to see that this has more spins on Active, too. |

It wasn't bad, and it makes me want to hear the original Neil Young song, which I have never heard before.
And while we're at it, hot Stereomud remake.

This was one of the most added tracks besides "Rope" on both formats.. I think this could be the next "Sittin' At a Bar" hit.

But then again, I probably fall short of what the average person my age is familiar with from the '70s & '60s on back. |

I'm actually a bit surprised it's doing better on Alternative than Active.

Besides, active's right up alternative's tail with this song.

I still kinda hate this song... but I have a feeling that it's about to take off. It was just added to KROQ this week and I feel like more and more stations are going to join in. I could see this going top 5

Not bad for a "novelty song".

I don't think a second single will do much tbh.

They are a Canadian band, and my local Canadian station was playing their new single the other night. It is the title track of the new album. The title is slipping my mind right now...I believe it has "Something" in it.
