This here is Tater Totts and I helped out David Snyder with his submission to the Xtra Styles Country Category, because I am in it to win it, and I'm gonna kill it and skin it.

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/i-know-country

Specs:

Category_Country
(Is there another???)

Main style:DethVly3.

Then I added some Xtra Xtra Styles5. Which ones? Well, my first thought was to say none of your business, but if you really have to know I used pretty much ALL of them, because I didn't hear a bad one in the bunch. They all sound country to me.

And so I'll tell you the same thing I told Gregg Allman:

I know country, like a can of spam, like a cold Budweiser, in a tall Deer Stand.


I Got Country

By David Snyder

Intro:

Yeah this is Tater Totts
And I heard there was a contest going on here
You know I had to throw down if it’s country
So let’s do it

V1

Popping out my skoal can
Little bit of hot damn
Slinging in My Dodge Ram
Smoking up a big ham
Hanging with the big dogs
Walking like a fat hog
Throwin down a beer can
Getting me a sun tan
Playin’ in a jam band
Little bit a Alabam
Little bit of Jack Black
Girl I’m gonna throw back
And I can drive your truck
And with a little bit of luck
I'm gonna get me some white tail
Cause I’m the big Buck
And I hunt white tail all year year round

V2

And you can cut my heart out
But I love you anyway
Cause your bourbon kissin
Is what I’m missin’
I need it every night and day

CH

Cause I got country
Like a big hot damn
Like a can of spam
Like cold Budweiser
In a tall deer stand
I know country like the back of my hand

V3

And sometimes I wish I had
Just a little more of you
But you’ve given me enough of that stuff
And I guess that'll do!

V4

Cause I’m a racing
And I’m running
And I’m driving like a bat out of hell

V5

But sometimes I'm lonely
And I wish I could write
A song that sounds like Floyd
But I’ve never worn those cowboy pants
So it’s a dream I have to avoid

V6

But I can write song that sounds like Nashville
With a tailgate party that will stand the test
And I can rock and roll, I can rock and roll
With the very best

V7

And think about our mountain home
When you was only sixteen
Barefoot and pregnant in those Appalachian Hills
While I ran that still in the mountain stream

V8

Then old Neil Young came and wrote about us
But Neil Young better watch his self
Cause he’s been wearing that same old plaid shirt for three decades
And I tell ya, I kinda hate the smell

CH

But I got country
Like a big hot damn
Like a can of spam
Like cold Budweiser
In a tall deer stand
I know country like the back of my hand
I got country, like can of spam
like a big yes ma'am
like a cold Budweiser, in a tall deer stand
I know country like the back of my hand
I know country like the back of my hand

It is a combination of REM's It's The End Of The World As We Know it, Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire meets The Stones The Girl With The far Away Eyes meets Ray Stevens, The Streak and Charlie Daniels' The Devil Went Down To Georgia! What a oombination! Totally enjoyed this one. Sounds good enough to win. Great job.

That Tater Totts is a Talented Tool...

A Blue Ribbon Mashup for Sure!!

I'm pretty sure Hank Jr. is looking for this.

David,

Ok, let's see if I can describe this...

It's almost as if Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline tapes blew up in a million pieces and were reassembled by Roger Miller and Weird Al Yankovic. LOL!

It's great - so very creative and full of energy... LOVED IT START TO FINISH!

Legendary, indeed!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hello, David

Your interpretation on this is really really wonderful.
The proper use of characters is so good.
I think that you are very very versatile.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hey Tater,

Have you thought about doin' a country song????

Love the changes throughout. An the lyric, well it's just downright awesome! I particularly like this part:

Cause I got country
Like a big hot damn
Like a can of spam
Like cold Budweiser
In a tall deer stand
I know country like the back of my hand

Reminds me of my father. He died in 1969. But you gave him a short breath of life - thanks! Now, I like a fried Spam sandwich (A little mustard please) and an ice cold Bud Select.

That was downright awesome! You can breathe now!

I think tater outdid Hank Snow's "I've been Everywhere" for most words in a little over three minutes. BTW, this is your best vocal, in my opinion. Standing "O"!

Some great funny stuff here Tater!! I rarely listen to a song where I can't read the lyrics fast enough to keep up with the vocal. I particularly liked this verse, and the Neal Young one too!


And you can cut my heart out
But I love you anyway
Cause your bourbon kissin
Is what I’m missin’
I need it every night and day

Great stuff David!! You have a unique mind! Take care. Greg

Thanks Floyd.

You know I just can't seem to write a country song without getting you in there someone.

It's kind of like trying to say Jack with adding Daniels.

It just ain't country and it never works.

Bob,

That is probably the most mind-boggling concept I have ever heard.

I think I will start writing a concept album on that!!

Funny Kenny!

But no drugs. Let me quote David Byrne.

"Do I do drugs?

"No.

"I am the drug."
