And that's the only one of his songs I DON'T LIKE...Since I feel the exact same way about Sheryl Crow! (I only like 2 of her songs...EVERYDAY IS A WINDING ROAD and ALL I WANNA DO.)
Well I'm not crazy about Sheryl Crow either. That duet is one of only 2 of her songs that I like. The other is a bit more obscure,
Sad Sad World her song about and in tribute to the late Kevin Gilbert. It's got the great lyric, "Sometimes enemies make the most interesting friends." And I like that tribute more because I'm a fan of the late KG than because of Sheryl Crow.
REALLY?? Well, dude, I'm callin' ya on that--because you seem to think it's perfectly okay for WEIRD AL to "desicrate" music--why the double standard?? The only song I've ever liked of HIS was "like a Surgeon." Is it because you just don't like KID ROCK or is there another reason? Can you explain/elaborate? just sayin'...
I don't consider what Weird Al does to be desecration. I think it's because with Weird Al, that's his thing. That's what he does. With Kid Rock... well he's usually more creative than that. He usually doesn't sample other songs QUITE that blatantly. And honestly
All Summer Long is the only song of Kid Rock's I ACTIVELY hate. Other than the aforementioned duet that I like, I don't really have strong feelings one way or the other about most of the rest of his material. I don't dislike him or the rest of his music... Just the one song. There are artists I like who have put out albums I absolutely loathe (ELP's
Love Beach for example) so disliking one of Kid Rock's songs is no biggie (in comparison). FWIW I felt the same way about Puff Daddy/P. Diddy's
I'll Be Missing You as I feel about
All Summer Long back when that song came out. And I actually like P. Diddy... Not as a musician but as an actor. He was HILARIOUS in
Made and in
Get Him To the GreekOh and on a different, but related note-- does anyone else find it particularly odd/wrong that KENTUCKY Fried Chicken uses Sweet Home ALABAMA in their commercials?
LOL!!! I HAVEN'T!! I haven't even been able to STAND THE SMELL OF IT FOR 5 1/2 years...I don't pay particular attention to the commercials any more...LOL.

It's one of those really bad commercial ideas that for some reason people don't pick up on. Back in the 90s it was Taco Bell (the pre-Chiahuhua days). They had a "Run For the Border!" slogan that prompted a good friend of mine to ask, "Is that slogan more for the employees because INS has shown up looking for the illegals?!"
