I am a very hardcore country music purist but if I were to say I've never gotten down to some cotton eyed joe in the middle of a field around a bon fire with half a fifth of jack Daniel's in me, I'd be a goddamned liar. Lol

This song was a staple at every single midwest middle/high school dance in the late 90s/early 2000s. I honestly think it was played at every single dance I attended from 8th grade through our Senior Prom.

Love your reactions man, especially with your personality always got the eyebrows a dancin lmao. Anyways just wanted to basically say i appreciate your content for sure, keep it going. Love your reactions, you seem really intelligent and I'd love to have an actual conversation with you about anything really. Also I believe I seen one of your videos and you said you played music and played a few instruments yourself? I've been playing a few instruments for around 6 months or so now, been making music with music softwares for about a year roughly. I love it though and I'm trying to get somewhat decently serious about it. It would be awesome if you could react to 1 of the 3(or all three if youd wanna be supa noice lolol) Also would love any criticism good or bad, would just love an opinion from someone other than my family lol, cant always trust them, they dont wanna hurt feelings lol. But anyways ive rambled on enough, love your content keep it going for sure.

Hey there, greetings from Germany. In Europe it´s a common thing for bands to be "special", which doesn´t neccessarily mean bad. There a fun-songs, like "Barbie-Girl" from Aqua or no so funny but special like the familiy-band "The Kelly Familiy" with songs like "An Angel" from 1994, written by a 12 years old kid. They where tremendously succesfull all over the world. It happened mostly in the 90ies but is still going on.

And he succeeded a couple of years after he had made 50 Million Swedish kronor and today after 20 years still receive a check on 500 000 kronor each year. He is laughing all the way to the bank.
