He helped write the song. He said they were sitting around thinking what people thought rich people did and they decided to write the opposite of fancy. Love it. Let's go to Applebee's.
This song shot straight to #1 because so many people relate to it - it’s about how fancy they are (not). People love it. And that’s why he wrote it. It’s called entertainment.
He has an amazing voice with unbelievable range. The comment about what’s in the cooler in the truck bed is something from their hometown in Alabama. When they were writing the song he didn’t know that not all of us southerners knew what that was. He is absolutely in love with her and she with him. They have six kids together and a seventh that is one of Gods littlest angels. Deserves every happiness in the world.
Never in my life would I thought that I would be addicted to a song like this!! I have always been a classic country fan which I still am but I can't stop listening to this song!
Its so relatable. This song does a great job exposing people to crossover county. People catch this, like it, and explore other artists. Purists hate it but haters gonna hate anyway.
I heard him in an interview -- he said he wanted to do a song about what was fancy, and another songwriter showed up on the wrong day to collaborate/write with someone else, so jumped in on writing this song, and ended up like this. Collaborations in music styles and writing are great.
Didn't hurt that Applebee's made a commercial featuring the song and the Tok Tok dance and then bought almost every slot on every channel they possibly could. Fun song, good for Walker. His first #1 hit.
that's probably because it isn't really Country as now Country is evolved and the original country vibe is sorta gone and is now mixed with either a Hip Hop feel or Pop feel to it
I’ve been addicted to this song lately.. never thought I would but I would definitely check out Cody Johnson, Randall King & Jon Wolfe. Newer “real country”.
It's a great feel good song and the world needs more of that.... everyone I know has a big smile 😀 on their face when they listen to this song.. 👍👏😀on my way to Applebee's !
Very true 👍!!.. ......but again!!...WHAT CAN WE EXPECT!??.... ITS CALLED GOING ALONG to get along.....🤷... It's actually nowadays, what's right is wrong and what's wrong is right livin
It's called "crossover" country. The artists that do this, do it to show that the stereotype isn't all that anymore. They wanna appeal across lines. I dig it and I've never been a crossover fan. However starting to like it cuz its catchy and makes you wanna move.
@@LostInTranslationLIT Applebee's uses this song in a promotion add and they brought back the Oreo shake because of this song. There is currently a tiktok dance craze with the chorus part of the song. Go check it out.
I really liked this song. And I went back to hear some more of his old stuff it has the same vibe to them. I believe it our age & what music we grew up to it's not really "race appropriation." USA is a melting pot of different cultures.
You should check out his other songs, too. All of the songs are solely his with stories behind them all. Quite funny lyrics and entertaining with a good beat. We've been following him since 2015 and have been to 2 of his concerts: The Blindhorse in Greenville, SC and another in Charlotte, NC. I'm proud of him....he's been through a lot.
Not everything is related to a bar. This is down home bluegrass roots with hip-hop country beat. It hits all the notes through most of the genres and funny enough - REAL People relate to the words.
It’s ok if you don’t get it. You’re not country. Don’t have a have a video that costs a lot of money to make either. Just goes to show you he’s not fancy like some of these singers with gold chains and diamonds. He’s not being fake and I think showing who he really is with the song, the video and the dance that he started with his daughter. He’s a man of faith too. Love it. He’s got other songs I like and they are meaningful, some catchy (not like fancy like) but also not fake BS.
Just cuz they label it 'country' doesn't mean these young artists can do their own version of that. True artists should not be contained in a little box. Think about the great artists & the many sides they can show. You need to open your mind & check out some more country, with no expectations. Luke Combs & Jason Aldean are good examples of today's country. Today's country is not just 'Waylon Jennings & Johnny Cash' style these days. Walker said when he wrote this one, he thought about what rich folks did, & wrote the opposite. (he was talking about a double wide trailer home). Also check out Toby Keith! He has tons of hits, with great videos.
I watched him talk about the song...he said he and his wife go to Applebee's for date nights. They have done it a long time. He said he always wanted to write a song a about Applebee's. He and 2 others wrote the song.
Id say write is an overstatement. There isn't much writing that happened to make this song. Its a few basic chords with half the menu of Applebee's rapped over it lol
he writes alot of his own music. he's a really well known writer in Nashville. listen to Craig by walker hayes. it's about him and how Craig helped him out.
It's about people who are satisfied being "normal", more moderate living people. Who look at going out to eat ANYWHERE as a treat/luxury/special. I don't think many people in "cultures" or worlds where they are all about fake fingernails and butt injections can really relate to that type of person except to laugh at them so...
People keep leaving comments like i dont know what hes talking about...do I come off like I'm oblivious to the premise? Of course thats what hes doing...its obvious. I even make a reference to the term "Ghetto Fabulous" that's exactly the same thing in a different culture...Im also saying its awesome and catchy and he used hip hop influence to cross over and make it even more danceable for non country people. Is it that you are not watching the whole video? Im confused lol
@@LostInTranslationLIT also I’m not usually a fan of country but I love this song, and honestly who doesn’t sample from solid tracks that have been successful ?? It’s 95% of hip hop right now …everything is a sample of someone else’s hit
I think when they do the reactions they should make sure he’s hearing the lyrics right. It’s not spoil my batty with an upgrade it’s baby with an upgrade.
Im not sure why people keep saying that lol Of course i get it ....Its funny to me not over my head... Its not rocket science of course its a play on words...Sorta like the country version of ghetto fabulous. Sometimes you guys that are watching arent too observant lol
Isn't "imitation the sincerist form of flattery". Yes, they are "hip hop words", I believe it is called a crossover song. I'm not sure why "culture appropriation" had to be brought into this. Kind of like white people wearing hoop earrings? His intentions was not to appropriate a culture, but just to make a song that people enjoy. Why does race have to be brought into everything?
Yes Im aware of that. I used to sell them ...they are also called manufactured homes...or trailers lol Im not sure where it came off like I didn't know that but thank you for watching!
He’s sort of talking about his wife in a playful way. They met in high school and obviously as an aspiring artist he couldn’t afford much and it didn’t bother her.
Of course he is...And Black people invented country and the blues both so You couldn't say a black guy was Appropriating. I just don't think its a bad thing...Country folk can use some soul. Only makes the music better!
So its appropriation and taking from a hip hop culture, the culture that can't make anything for themselves so they take from other genres and call it "sampling ".lol they even took the bass because everybody knows hiphop invented bass.thats funny.
Im sure you can tell an obvious difference in the type of synth used to create the bass used in Hip Hop music and a regular bass guitar used on traditional country music....Lets not play dumb now. :)

Awesome thnx for the info!

Yeah Im privy to that thanks...lol Not sure where you thought I missed that in my reaction.
He's not saying his wife is double wide...lol...He's talking about a double wide trailer...instead of a mansion...lol
I'm obsessed with this song lol 😆 😂 😍 💕
It’s very catchy 😂😂
The dance compilation that includes his family is a must watch ❤
Awww ill check it out!
He has an amazing voice with unbelievable range. The comment about what’s in the cooler in the truck bed is something from their hometown in Alabama.

Yeah i checked out his story...super cool! Thank you for watching
The dance to this is AMAZING! Proud to say I mastered it on a moving boat!!!
Nice! haha
Never in my life would I thought that I would be addicted to a song like this!! I have always been a classic country fan which I still am but I can't stop listening to this song!
yeah me to, i don't consider this country but dang i cant stop playing this song.
Me too...
Yes!!! Haha
I can listen to this song forever on endless loop. 👍👍👍❤️❤️😁😁😁❤️❤️😁😁😁😁
Me too
I love this song it’s the best
Hi what’s up Besty’s just kidding I really did love the song now I love how you make out these videos like you’re the best
It's all about the "cross-over." Alot of Country singers are getting on both Pop and Country charts and getting awards from both.
Its so relatable. This song does a great job exposing people to crossover county. People catch this, like it, and explore other artists. Purists hate it but haters gonna hate anyway.
I heard him in an interview -- he said he wanted to do a song about what was fancy, and another songwriter showed up on the wrong day to collaborate/write with someone else, so jumped in on writing this song, and ended up like this. Collaborations in music styles and writing are great.
Wow cool info! thanks for sharing
I love this song... I drive my husband crazy with it .😄
Loved it
I love hip hop and pop country songs like this it makes country songs even better
You were groovin' to it toward the end though! 😁
Its catchy! haha

@@Kristian179 yeah...say it to the guitar here
I think this one's all about the fun. I wouldn't take too seriously. People love it. Caught my ear right away.
Great reaction man keep up the good vids you deserve more subscribers

@@LostInTranslationLIT no problem bro keep up the good vids

This is the F'ing best song EVER
Applebees actually paid to use this song in their advertisements. Also, they had to bring back Oreo shakes because of the demand from this song.

He is awesome
This is my favorite song and obsessed with it
Thank you for watching!

true story, some of us were this fancy, couldn't afford for more bougie man lol

This song is amazing !!!
Don't say anything against it.
He said my baby for an upgrade
Dude go with it.
Oh I am lol
You are the only reaction video that knew what natty was. That is so awesome
Thank you watching!
I got it! I think you may have influenced all these new country artists with your DJing in the past.
Hahah Maybe!
You should really look into Walker Hayes history

When I first listened to this a thought it was a rap. People will never admit they're grooving to a rap at country bars across the south.
This song is got like 80 million views
If you listen to his other music, you'll see that this is pretty much his style. He has a song that hits harder than this call 8 Track - Black Sheep.
You wouldn’t happen to be from Huntsville Alabama would you because when i was a teenager i used to shut that place down every night they were open
THIS MAN TALKS TO MUCH 😡 AND I LOVE THIS SONG 💓💓
Ita fancy like Applebee's kn the datenight

Baddie would have been better lol
It took you til 4:14 to get the point and it went right over yo head.They ain't into no fancy shit ,as fancy as it gets is Applebee's

At 1st i thought he said Fatty... I love this song Applebeed probably paid him. Boxed wine
Haha
Jelly much? He's better then 99% of "rappers" out there.
Nothing wrong with this song, unlike most that you can’t even understand what the hell they’re saying
Kind of like country rap in some sense
Agreed!
He’s sort of talking about his wife in a playful way. They met in high school and obviously as an aspiring artist he couldn’t afford much and it didn’t bother her.
Honey you gotta be from the country to get this song! You clearly don’t get it! People live like this like me!!
I am from the country and Oh i get it haha
@@LostInTranslationLIT hahaha cool
He says my baby, not badie 🙄
No such thing as "appropriation."
I'm a girl
Thats whats up!
At least we are talking about Applebye . Not killing people.
Whos this we? White people? Country Singers?...Look up Johnny Cash ....At least Im not racist...
Oh stop making like he's culturally appropriating! We enjoy black country singers. We don't say they're appropriating country do we? 🤨
Of course he is...And Black people invented country and the blues both so You couldn't say a black guy was Appropriating. I just don't think its a bad thing...Country folk can use some soul. Only makes the music better!
And yes Very stoned! Happy 420 :)
@@LostInTranslationLIT
Aha! So I was right. 😏
@@LostInTranslationLIT
Yes. Black folk invented the blues. Country? No. Whites did!
Not even close to real country. "amnesia" Josh Abbott Band "Touch" just a couple for you to check out
I know its not real country lol ....Hank Williams Sr. Mirle Haggard and Ronnie Millsap is Real Country.
Natty boh
So its appropriation and taking from a hip hop culture, the culture that can't make anything for themselves so they take from other genres and call it "sampling ".lol they even took the bass because everybody knows hiphop invented bass.thats funny.

Hahaha You sound like me with todays Hip Hop ...This isnt Hip Hop haha So I get it!
Haha👍
Why you hatin brother???? You can tell you just full of hate 😡😡😡
Thumbs down!!!!
