I think George's version is better no doubt. Funny thing, I think Brooks and Dunne did a better version of Cowboy Rides Away...sometimes the artist picks the song, and sometimes the song picks the artist...
I think it was more they were laughing because they couldn’t believe him singing boogie. The first time he sang that phrase his eyes kind of bugged out and it was just hilarious it was nothing negative they were laughing about they were probably just blown away and how funny he is when he was singing it
So I read that they were laughing because George Strait doesn't normally sing too many high notes. Which is the way Ronnie Dunn sings "Boogie". So hearing him try to sing it like Ronnie made them laugh.. If you notice George stops singing it that way halfway through the song.
@@phillipmatthews8830 Yeah, "Boot Scootin' Boogie" is probably the Brooks and Dunn hit that is the least "George-like"; it's fast, it's rowdy, you know, it's a party song. So just as an idea, I'm sure Kix and Ronnie (like the rest of us) were incredibly curious to see how it'd go!

Drew Breault Its Strait. Jones is 2nd. Strait's accomplishments are unmatched of any Genere. More #1s then the Beatles, Michael Jackson and Elvis combined. I also say had Strait marketed himself like Garth he would also be the #1 solo artist ever. He IS country.
@@roseanne74 yes, I wasn’t insinuating otherwise. I was just pointing out there was reason he sang it that night, I know he listens to them, he said so. And he probably sings along, but he doesn’t do covers in his shows. He sang it on stage as a tribute.

If you didn't know this song was originally by Brooks and Dunn you'd think George was the original artist behind it, that's how good he sounds singing it, it literally sounds like could be his own original work
Reining artist of all universal history, George Strait, the single most authentic, amazing country singer ever, covering the most amazing, dynamic country duo ever! Seriously, folk, does it get any better than this? (Hint: The correct answer is "HELL NO! This is as good as it gets this side of Heaven!")
I come back and listen over and over again. George should do a new album of others hits, show us how much better he makes them! If this one's any indication, it'd be a monster success. I'd love to hear him do Neon Moon.
That's great. Thanks for your love and support, i hope you dont stop watching my videos may God continue to bless you. How long you been a fan of mine?

George strait just being one of the kings of country music. This is just a perfect combination of country music stars. George strait and the most memorable country songs of brooks and dunn, who are arguably the best country duo ever.
I loved it when Brooks And Dunn did it but Mr. Straight just made me speechless I mean he took me way back I am just 30 years old lol. This is the kind of country music that I love. Right on Mr . George Strait love you.
George Strait ACCIDENTALLY outdid Brooks and Dunn on their own song... That's how good George Strait is.
I like how he holds the guitar
I doubt it was an accident. These guys are all very competitive.
@@Rich51185nobody ever made such a great career out of holding a guitar
George is sexy!!
He really Did and love how Ronnie would laugh when George sings "Boogie".... Dude, George sings it better than you dont laugh at him 🤣
I now want an album that's nothing but George Strait covering hit country songs from the 80s and 90s.
I'd buy that
I want that album
I'd pay $100,000 for that
That would be so cool
I want one album of King George singing 1990’s Brooks and Dunn songs and another album of vice versa.
He killed it. Guy can sing literally anything.
czcams.com/video/wt-f7K_suBc/video.html
Yup mr murder on music row killed it lol
#StopSayingLiterally
I can’t believe this is 11 years ago and I’m now just seeing this. George Strait absolutely murdered this
B&D: "Glad we recorded that first".
Exactly! If George had gotten this song first, B&D could have forgotten about it. George nailed it!
I think George's version is better no doubt. Funny thing, I think Brooks and Dunne did a better version of Cowboy Rides Away...sometimes the artist picks the song, and sometimes the song picks the artist...
Asleep at the wheel did it first
It was written by B&D. George would have never had this song.
Lmfao
When you have George Strait do a tribute to one of your songs there is no doubt you have made IT.
jeff munson nlnkllkjkjlkmm mms
That's right
And then he makes it his own song. Sorry, B&D. He wins this one.
@@MeredithAnne88 Oh heck to the no. Brooks and Dunn do it better, but this is still great.

King George could sing the alphabet and I would crank it up!! Hands down the greatest country singer ever!!
One of the greatest but not the greatest country singer ever.
He wouldn’t just the alphabet he’d make it a full song and it’d be a number 1 lol
I can't decide if they're laughing at him, with him, or at themselves, because he just absolutely KILLED it with this one. George Strait is awesome.

They are thinking thank God we got it before George did,,,it would have been a #1 hit for George for sure ❤🎸
I think Brooks and Dunn got a shock just how good George sounded, probably thinking I'm glad we got this one first and recorded it.
He turned a B&D into a Strait song instantly. Wow.
I agree with both. B and D own that song. However, George did it alone.
Two awesomes
kind of his thing... until rather recently all his songs were covers or written by others at least
It's funny how B and D both know that he stole it and they're just laughing 😂
the humility and respect from both sides shown here is something that won't happen again for a long long time
This is one of the best George Strait performances I have ever seen.
Legend has that “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” shot back up to # 1 on the charts after this performance
Look on Ronnie Dunns face, "Did George just tell me to hold his beer ?"
timmAY hajahsh no that was Aaron Pritchett
HAHAHAH BEST COMMENT !!!!! hahaha
Love this song 🎵❤
No...that was Ronnie saying "I'll gladly hold your beer, your majesty!"
That was him saying “oh shit he just did our biggest song better than us”😂😂😂 Love Brooks and Dunn tho
And that, you young "country" fans, is REAL country music.
Just cuz we are young country fans doesn't mean I listen to the modern shit 😂

George could take any other artist's #1 hit song and make it a #1 hit for himself.
He could turn a gangster rap into a #1 country song
Brian Coddington The King
Well with the exception of Alan Jackson, who is equaly good.
And Brian Coddington ‘85
Except for brooks and Dunn’s
That’s why he is the King of country music.
How long have I been a fan? Good question. I don’t know, the 80’s maybe. Long time.

Lets not forget Hank sr
The look on everyone’s face is priceless and the way brooks plays that harmonica damn
Wow, George! You sang that song like it was one of yours. Just Fabulous!
Out of all the performances by each artist at this gig, George Strait singing Boot Scootin Boogie was hands down the best
Yes it was. He could have made another #1 hit for him
