Single Review: Moonshine Bandits - Super Goggles



I'd rather listen to fresh dog feces steaming in a hot summer backyard. I'd rather listen to Nicki Minaj sing the National Anthem. I'd rather listen to a possum stuck in a barbed wire fence. You get the point.

In a year pock-marked by superstars seeing who can outdo the last with the biggest festering pile of crap tagged with mp4 or mp3, this, from the utterly talentless Moonshine Bandits, ups the ante on all of them. What you got Luke Bryan?

At least iTunes has the decency to put this song in the "alternative" category rather than country, but make no mistake, this is marketed as country music. What's country about it, you ask (I know you didn't ask that, but hypothetically)? Um, let me think. Give me a minute. Uhh. Hmmm. Well, the band is called the Moonshine Bandits. That's pretty country, right?

This is a rap song about how all the girls get prettier at closing time. Hey, that's catchy. Somebody should write a song with that line in it. Anyway, the chorus is some white dude singing through the T-Pain app on his iPhone. The verses are just sub-par rapping about getting drunk and 2's turning into 7's (at least they aren't setting their sights too high, have you seen these guys?). Hey, they mentioned Jimmy Super Fly Snuka in one of the verses. Wrasslin' is pretty country! I stand corrected. This IS a country song. 

Charlie Worsham's dad had this wonderful comment on the Taste of Country post about this song:
"Just imagine how much better Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, George Jones, etc. could have sounded if they had been autotuned and had great, meaningful lyrics like this. Maybe they could have even gone on to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Hopefully, we will see more really awesome groups like this in the future. They certainly have a wonderful look and are sure to last for years and years. Talent like this only come around once in a lifetime. Awesome boys."

I think ol' Gary's been reading Farce the Music!
