One of the times Pumpkin came to visit at Weeville he got on the computer and actually nearly made me a country music fan, showing me the song-video about "I'm good at drinking beer." What a great song. Pumpkin, I was in a local restaurant the other day with a bunch of stiff shirts from work, and sure enough, barely in the background, there was that song playing overhead. Yeah, I know that song. Pumpkin played it for me. I was sitting there grinning and nobody in the group knew why I was grinning. They weren't listening to anything except for themselves talking about work. Yeah, good at drinking beer.
I like that one, and I love this one. I think I've posted it here before, but I found it again tonight, I can't get away from it. Seems Fred Eaglesmith has such varied abilities and interests, he did the world's "worst" country song on purpose. He's a fabulous writer and musician, lots of different stuff, so I have to think he and his buddies in the band simply sat down one night over lots of drinks and beers and decided, "Let's do the world's best-worst country song." And they did.
