If I hear

Build me up buttercup by the foundations one more time I may go on a fricking rampage.

That cocksucking geico commercial with that fricking song has me at my wits end.

same legs that got you there can carry your arse someplace else. Some folks like BEG. If anything related to m. jackson
comes on where I'm at, I leave, change stations or whatever I have to do so as not to hear. Lots of other newer crap I run away from. If you bunch of pucks want to hear crap, fine. I just vote with my feet like bunch of other old geezers do.

Especially since he stole almost everything from Etta James

Way back in the early 2000s at my sisters wedding, they had an all black band for the reception. A friend of my dads walked over to us and asked if they were playing a set or taking requests. He wanted them to perform Play that Funky Music. My dad said go ask them if they know anything by Wild Cherry, and next thing you know there were a bunch of boomers dancing along.

Not even David Allan Coe, the guy who wrote and originally performed the song?

That would be the legendary John C. Fogerty, formerly of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

It's really bad if white dudes try the Ike and Tina version.

I hate hearing this song, even the Stapleton version.

Now you can't go listen to a band at a bar without hearing it.

Sad part is, if you would play the original on the juke box, the people who go crazy over it, likely wouldn't want to hear it

Pretty much any country song written after Johnny Cash’s run.

He didn't write it.

He wasn't even the writers' first choice, they wanted George Strait to sing it.




That said, my answer to the OP is Wagon Wheel.

Majority of rock bands now days suk… all they play is the same 70’s to 90’s era songs… personally I get sick and tired of hearing these cover bands play the same crap over and over and over and over to the point where if there is a rock cover band I avoid even walking in there bc I just don’t want to hear the same BS different band same crap songs
