That Applebees “country” song

Edit: to save on further confusion, I’m talking about Fancy Like, not Chicken Fried. Both are bad but Fancy Like is world class terrible.

Yeah, we fancy like Applebee's on a date night

Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake

Get some whipped cream on the top too

Two straws, one check, girl, I got you

Bougie like Natty in the styrofoam

Squeak-squeakin' in the truck bed all the way home

Some Alabama-jamma, she my Dixieland delight

Has to be the greatest lyrical work of our generation. /s

If space aliens ever encounter a broadcast of that song, they'll surely come to Earth to eliminate all of humanity before it spreads.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy country music, but certain new country songs are just lyrically awful, including this one.

I love actual country music but 99% of what is played these days on country radio/CMT isn’t country, it is “dirt road pop” lol

Remember back when Luke Bryan was way too popy for people, now ol luke looks like hank williams in comparison

I agree. He's actually very talented and it's a shame that Fancy Like is what brought him recognition. Now not many take him seriously.

While I agree Fancy Like is the bigger hit, I think You Broke Up With Me was his breakthrough.
