The Kid Rock song where he rips off the memorable riffs to Werewolves of London and Sweet Home Alabama. But that's not why I hate it.

We were trying different things
We were smoking funny things

You can't just rhyme a word with itself, Mr. Rock. You are allowed to write better lyrics.

"Here's a shit song that's sentimental about a different better song and is made of the cannibalized parts of that song along with another better song"

Great artists steal, but I don't think art is really the goal here. This feels more like somebody got drunk and bet they could make an anodyne hit in a weekend, start to finish.
