“Before He Cheats” - Carrie Underwood (Male Vocal Cover)

[@AlecSullivan]

Did anyone else think the lyric was "legacy"? Let me know in the comments and please consider subscribing! :)

[@PutTheGameDown]

I thought the lyric was CANNONBALL 🤔

[@AlecSullivan]

@@PutTheGameDown That's a good point. Pretty sure you're right...

[@TheHexPower]

I thought it was in his leather seats

[@AlecSullivan]

I think you’re in the majority, which is probably a good thing 😄

[@DC-sd1lw]

I prefer legacy too! I also always sing ‘bathroom cologne’ instead of ‘bathroom polo’. I just prefer it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BlisaBLisa]

mad respect for not changing the gender pronouns in the lyrics lol its usually so lame when cover artists do that when covering a song by someone of different gender

[@AlecSullivan]

I’m glad you approve! I agree. I feel like switching lyrics works sometimes but usually feels gimmicky if it’s just the pronouns.

[@jarrettsoon6123]

I personally still prefer "leather seats", but your choice of the lyric "legacy" does add an intriguing twist that got me thinking more about the meaning of the song. Also, respect for your belting in the chorus; loved hearing a male rendition of this song that I've been mildly obsessed with lately.

[@AlecSullivan]

Thanks for that! I appreciate your respect and kind words. Your opinion about the lyric change is good to know, and I'm glad it got you thinking about it in a different way. Thanks for the comment!

[@angieangel555]

Amazing cover!!! And you’re absolutely right, “legacy” is a lot more powerful than “leather seats”

[@AlecSullivan]

Thanks, Cassie! Right?! I’m all for it.

[@sandwich4221]

I actually thought it was legacy until I saw the lyrics.

[@brettrigby2226]

no its not, its out of context! To have an impact on someones legacy is to have major influence on their life. The reason its out of context is because the song is about a girl that isn't ready to move on when the guy she loves has all but moved on and all but forgotten about her! The whole song is about vengeance for being cheated on, Shes damaging his car not his life and the reason her NAME IS IN THE LEATHER SEATS is so the "next girl" knows what hes like

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone sing it as legacy. How is that more powerful? It doesn't even accidentally make any kind of sense! She's obviously talking about destroying his car, which has leather seats!

[@TheHexPower]

Great interpretation!! You could actually feel and hear the heartbreak in your voice. As always, amazing job

[@AlecSullivan]

Thanks! I’m glad you could feel it 🙏

Legacy? No, I have Southern parents, so I knew it was leather seats. If she said legacy, that means she was going for half (divorce)! 🤣

[@AlecSullivan]

Very true 😂🙏

This song was part 2 of her first song which was when she was married.

(Verse 1) Right now, he's probably slow dancing With a bleached-blond tramp And she's probably getting frisky Right now, he's probably buying Her some fruity little drink 'Cause she can't shoot whiskey Right now, he's probably up behind her With a pool stick Showing her how to shoot a combo (Chorus) And he don't know That I dug my key into the side Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive Carved my name into his leather seats I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights Slashed a hole in all four tires Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats (Verse 2) Right now, she's probably up singing some White-trash version of Shania karaoke Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk" And he's a-thinking that he's gonna get lucky Right now, he's probably dabbing on Three dollars worth of that bathroom Polo (Chorus) Oh, and he don't know That I dug my key into the side Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive Carved my name into his leather seats I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights Slashed a hole in all four tires Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats (Bridge) I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl 'Cause the next time that he cheats Oh, you know it won't be on me! No, not on me (Chorus) 'Cause I dug my key into the side Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive Carved my name into his leather seats I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights Slashed a hole in all four tires Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats Oh, maybe next time he'll think Before he cheats Oh, before he cheats

I love your interpretation using legacy honestly I like leather seats she’s using all these descriptive words building that image and a story we can play out in our heads like a movie and leather seats adds to that but again that’s my interpretation legacy is a much more powerful word thank you for singing it like that so we see both ways:))

[@AlecSullivan]

I’m glad you like my spin on it! “Leather seats” definitely paints more of a literal picture. Thanks for the comment!

Leather seats goes along with the previous line which is why i like leather seats better lol

[@AlecSullivan]

Fair enough 😄

[@jazzy3345]

I know this was a case of mishearing a lyric, but also Carrie was talking about blowing holes in his tires and smashing windows. So leather seats makes more sense than legacy XD

[@AlecSullivan]

Oh absolutely, when it’s all meant to be literal. “Legacy” brings it to a much deeper level, but clearly Carrie was just in a fit of rage 🛻 🤬💥

[@BelleDede01]

You do realize that this song is part of a trilogy, right? First one is 'Last Name' in which she meets and marries this guy and wins him a truck. Second one is Before He Cheats ... don't you think that she'd have known or suspected it before this song? Third one is Two Black Cadillacs where she talks with the side-chick and they plan his death with the possessed car that was used in the Stephen King movie Christine, where the car self-repairs itself. Yes, they did ask Stephen for permission to use the car.

[@AlecSullivan]

I didn’t know this! I couldn’t find anywhere confirming that the songs are related but very interesting nonetheless 🙌

[@benhobson5595]

In the music video he gets caught in the act btw

[@AlecSullivan]

Classic music video! My thoughts were based only on the song itself. I mean, it's pretty obvious that the guy cheated, but funny to think if it's all an assumption, haha.

[@גלעדסוירזנסקי]

The message of the song is kinda messed up like oh I'm jumping to conclusions about him cheating let's trash his car

[@AlecSullivan]

Right?? That’s how I always heard it 😄

[@RiccardoCipolletta]

are you a tenor or a baritone?

[@AlecSullivan]

From what some music major friends have told me, I’m a baritenor. Right in the middle! Haha. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but I’ll take it 😎

[@RiccardoCipolletta]

@@AlecSullivan did you do any exercises to extend your vocal range? I should be a baritone and I used to practice but I really hope I can hit at least a C you know, knowing that someone succeeded into extend his range gives me the strenght to practice everyday ahahah

[@AlecSullivan]

@@RiccardoCipolletta It took me a little while to extend my range, but it was mostly about developing my head voice and learning how to use it properly. To do that, I practiced a lot and sang Judas Priest all the time, haha. And CCR. You should keep putting time into it! I’m sure you can get there. Look into developing your head voice and it will open up a lot of possibilities 😃

[@RiccardoCipolletta]

@@AlecSullivan with "head voice" do you mean falsetto?

[@AlecSullivan]

@@RiccardoCipolletta It’s different from falsetto! You should look into it. It’ll probably be really helpful.
