Yee-haw!

A country music video launched recently caught my attention today when I turned the TV on after a hectic day munching on my blueberries. It was a true "yee-haw" moment and I couldn't help but smile and laugh along as the lyrics hit my ears and the video flashed by. May I mention, it's very rare that I sit alone in a lonely house and laugh while watching TV (I do smile though, F.R.I.E.N.D.S is an obvious exception)! The video is as crisp as the lyrics (In fact, I recommend watching the video the first time, instead of just the audio). Without further adieu, may I recommend Blake Shelton's "Hillbilly Bone" (featuring Trace Adkins) - a masterpiece from the two hot'n'famous country boys. (On that note, I would also strongly recommend the movie "Beverly Hillbillies" - a hilarious comedy which shall tickle each of your 206 bones)

Talking about the song, a heart-hitting satire on the eccentricities of sophistication that cripples our society today is the butt of the joke here! Some of us have lost touch with the true us (minus the modern hullabaloo of table manners and public faces). Thus, our lives have somehow reduced to wrinkled peels from the plump, juicy, luscious peaches they used to be. In the singers' words, we all have a "hillbilly" bone deep down, and all one needs to do is get back in touch with it and all the fun would be back in our worlds! May we all find our "hillbilly bone"! Amen!
