I’ve become slightly obsessed with something that would make my mother cringe and my stylist arch both eyebrows like she does. No, it doesn’t involve two Coreys, and if it does for you, insert your own personal shame here. I’m not sure when it happened, or how, or at what point it started invading my dreams and making me want to wear string bikinis to work, but I’m absolutely in love with Kid Rock’s All Summer Long. I don’t know what it is about this song, but I have actually been caught singing it out loud, earbudded and chair dancing, in the office. Yes, I find him stringy and too skinny and yep, quite possibly a little bit redneck in a let’s drink Jim Beam in the back of your truck before buying flip flops at Wal-Mart kinda way, but see all those views on You Tube? Yeah, well 4 million of them are mine. Few things have made me want to lose those 30 pounds and dance on a boat on a dirty Michigan lake. Well, nothing ever has, but this song does.

Isn’t that the song that has the lyric: “We were trying different things, we were smoking funny things”?
You can’t rhyme “things” with “things”!!
I hate that I am watching the video right now and that I cannot wear little jean cut off shorts!
I LOVE that song. He gets me with “drinking whiskey out the bottle” because what says summer more than drinking whiskey (or any alcohol for that matter) right out of the bottle?
Oh thank gawd. I thought I was the only one rolling up my windows and closing the sunroof so I can turn this up and sing loudly in my car.
A little part of me just died.
That lake is not dirty. That’s just what happens when you wear flip flops walking around Mackinac Island.
Thanks to both of you who got that joke. Ok, maybe not that many.
That song is badass. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that.
In the north we never sang Sweet Home Alabama we sang Southern Man.
Hahaha. Yeah, never would have figured you for a Kid Rock kind of girl. I get it though, as I made three trips home over Christmas for various family gatherings, alternating between Essential Mozart and Cocky on all three. Saw him in March at JPJ in Charlottesville for $20. If you’re interested, check out post American Bad Ass at my place.
…singin’ Sweet Home Alabama all summer long..
I’m inserting my personal shame *here*. I’m a Two Coreys fan.
I know. I’m sorry. It’s beyond my control.
It’s a catchy tune, but what a rip off! I guess I could be a rock star, too, if I stole most my music from Warren Zevon, plus a bit from Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I kinda like it too. Please don’t tell anyone. Also, please don’t tell them I cannot stop listening to “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips. Seriously, it’s on a loop.
I love Kid Rock.
Thatisall.
Oh, it will do as all summer songs do. They stick in your craw, and you can’t avoid humming them etc… but they will soon burn themselves out and you go back to normal living again.
Still, enjoy your summer in the swamp that is D.C. & thank god for Pinot and A.C.
Hmmm, I think I’ll drink wine from a box on a boat on a dirty lake in Michigan. Please bring your own Solo cup if you want to share.
I am in fact obsessed with the Two Coreys show on A&E. You get your bikini and flip flops on, and I’ll veg out on the couch making myself feel overly normal by watching those guys.
HAHAHAHA *gasp* HAHAHAHAA.
Oh my god- that song is really not good!! :) <3 you!
I am with you on this one! and Summertime by NKOTB is another one. I got stuck on the Beltway the other week and I must say, both were on my playlist! :)
What is this song you speak of? I’ll have to check it out. I don’t think I’ve heard it…
Kris, he was on Letterman tonight. I guiltily (is that a word?) share your pleasure. Argh.
I mean, this man married Pamela Anderson. As if.
k… While I’ll admit that I have, in the past, liked a few of his songs, I would never say I’m a fan. In fact, as “red” as I have to admit that I’am, he’s just a little too skeazzy (a red blend of scuzzy and sleazy) even for me… I hadn’t heard this new little ditty until you recommended it. I logged on and watched, expecting something really kick ass. The only thing I really liked was around the 2:08 mark and the chick dancing behind him lost the bottom half of her boob out the bottom of her bikini top *snort*…
I totally like that song, too. But then again, I live in the motherland, so I think that makes it automatically okay.
OMG Me too! I stop and stand still and listen every time it comes on. At 47 you’d think I’d be past all that.. but there’s just somethin’ about it….
maybe I’m still wishin’ for that perfect summer.
And to commenter #1.. of course is rhymes if you’ve smoked enough ::laughing::
A few weeks ago I ran into a guy who I had chatted with via an online dating website…he happened to look EXACTLY like Kid Rock. My girlfriend told me I’m obviously not capable of choosing my own men or making dating decisions. :-(
I like it. I get it. And I miss those summers too…..but Kid Rock seems a little diseased to me….could be wrong…but love this song
I have to inform you that these are not just “dirty” lakes. Metro Beach (if you can call it a beach) has been closed and swimming is forbidden because it’s basically Defecation Stew. You’d essentially be dancing on a lake of shit. Not saying you can’t, tho.
I haven’t heard the song, but I saw Kid Rock at a Detroit bar a few years ago. Dude hasn’t bathed since ‘84.
