Is the radio version of the song where she doesn't even know his last name as bad as that version performed on the show?
What about that makes it country? The banjo? :

It's a drinking song. Alan Jackson wrote a similar song 15 years ago called "I Don't Even Know Her Name."
There's more to country music than instrumentation. It's about the country lifestyle. Getting drunk and forgetting who you're talking to is a subject that's been covered in country music since Jimmie Rodgers.
I'm not saying it's a great song. But it won a Grammy for Best Country Female Performance. So somebody thinks it's country. Then again, those same voters think Alison Krauss singing with Robert Plant is country. It takes all kinds....
I prefer Alison Krauss actually doing country, but her duet with Robert Plant was listenabnle.TheBigA said:vchimpanzee said:What about that makes it country? The banjo? :

Alan Jackson's song was good. I don't even really listen to lyrics, but his song was funny.

Jackson's song sounds more country too.
On the subject of songs that fit, I don't even remember the words to these songs, but there are a couple I've heard whose lyrics couldn't be more country. Maybe I'd recognize words if I looked at current country titles.
One was heavy metal with a banjo and a fiddle and I think it was about a girl who was country.
Another was definitely country in every sense except the guitar got way too loud for my taste. Very much a rock-style guitar, though at an appropriate volume it would have been country.

She actually sang a country song last night!
"I Told You So" was done by Randy Travis, one of the traditional singers.
I also noticed that the fiddle in "Last Name" sounded integral to the song instead of tacked on, in the part they played when she accepted her award.
It actually took me longer to watch the tape than I thought. There was actually some good music.
Actually, that should be tapes. As I finished watching "Kings" and discovered I had seen "Family Guy" I started taping on another TV and watched what I had already taped. When that tape was finished I traded again.
The DJs sounded so good when they went to commercial. Very professional, all of them.

The whole thing was a big farce. There was nothing country about it. What a bunch of overcommercialized, glitzy, gobbligook. Those women on the floor in the audience with their trendy clothing were nothing but Vegas tramps! Where was Neko Case, Tift Merritt, Thad Cockrell, Lucinda Williams? Those are country artists! Oy Vey!!!!
