[@scottmanley]

There was a time when country music was raw, edgy and innovative, those times ended in the mid 70's and much in the way of mainstream country music has descended into self pardoy. This mashup is a perfect illustration of the state of things. I'm just glad there are artists on the periphery of the genre still making real music.

[@SirMashalot1]

Just wanted to respond to a few comments/questions I've seen: 1) As mentioned previosly, I decided not to monetize this video out of respect for the fact that I didn't write these songs. Any new ads popping up were most likely arranged for by the writers, etc of the original works used in this video 2) I had to first line up the tempo and key of each song before being able to work out the new lyric. It was the chord progression, song structure, and lyrical content that made it possible for the new lyric to flow once the tempo and key were made uniform 3) Aside from the tempo and key alignments, there were no effects or plugins used at all- and no speeding up or slowing down of certain sections. Sonically, the tracks are the mp3s just as they were recorded. What appears to be autotuning is actually minor artifacts created by stretching a song to fit a particular tempo 4) Lining up the songs as 6 overlapping tracks in Pro Tools took very little time, but creating the lyric took a couple of weeks- probably had dozens of lyric combinations before I settled on the one in the video. The graphics took the longest since I wasn't very familiar with iMovie at the time. So about another couple of weeks 5) There is no mp3 available for download as I do not have the right to distribute it. 6) I am working on an original track that will fit seamlessly within the mix- but there will be a couple of twists, so stay tuned 7) The next mashup is currently underway- no eta at the moment though 8) I'm sure this type of mashup could be accomplished with other genres besides country. The reason I was drawn to country in this case was because I had been listening to country radio in order to stay current with my own songwriting. If I was listening to the pop stations, I guess I could have found similarities for a number of those songs as well. 9) I put up my new website today. Check it out at www.SirMashalot.com and please feel free to leave any feedback, positive or negative, on my original music or the site itself. 10) Thanks again!

I worked with a guy who played this exact kind of generic modern country on his car stereo while he worked. I must have heard hundreds of songs that sounded exactly the same without hearing the same song twice.

[@ShogunAutoworks]

I do too but here's the thing. Good upbeat background music. If it was Garth or something I'd wanna be straight singing out loud with it. Not always a good idea haha. But I can play this, enjoy doing my work humming along and getting at it.

"It'd be cool if the writers of these songs all got together and did something like this when making them" From what I recall this video in particular was a massive embarrassment for Nashville music producers who all realized they independently make the exact same garbage song with 6 different bands; but hey, I don't have any #1 singles so what do I know.

The final boss fight of country music

[@TheIggyTech]

What's sad is that the people who like this crap will think of this mashup being "OMG PERRRFFECT" instead of realizing that it's mocking the un-originality of pop country.

[@yunohavename]

+TheIggyTech That's the weirdest thing about this video to me...the pop country fans commenting here about how great the mashup is. I mean, I agree it's a great mashup, but it's great because it's pointing out how repetitive and inane country music has become, not because it's "good music". Well done, Sir Mashalot.

[@Spudst3r]

+TheIggyTech It does feel like a pretty awesome version of country.

[@sistermaria7799]

+TheIggyTech except that the fact that it sounds good matters a hundred times more than how "unoriginal" it is (as though any music is original anyway). if anything, this just shows how consistently adept nashville music makers are at crafting songs that appeal to a wide range of listeners. you could probably do mashups like this with songs from any genre, but i doubt any of them will sound as enjoyable as this. there really is no better music machine right now than the legion of songwriters, studio musicians, producers, sound engineers, and singers making country music in nashville. it's simultaneously the most populist and the most sophisticated music being made. go back and listen to classic songs from motown and you'll see more than a few parallels. i bet you could make a mashup of those songs and have it sound just as cohesive as this one, but none of you would see that as evidence that motown made bad music....

[@jr4chargers]

+sister maria A lot of pop music will sound the same, because why change something that is selling so much, right? I do like a few pop songs, but I am truly getting tired of hearing a song on the radio, and thinking; 'Oh, man. I really feel like I've heard this before'. It's one of the reasons why I don't listen to the radio much, anymore. People can listen to whatever they like, of course. :P

And damn near every song is about the same thing. Country music is a business now, not an art. Big labels write the music and lyrics because they know what sells and people eat this trash like taco bell.

[@the_hodgepodge]

Not just country my guy. Hip-hop and pop are also nothing but manufactured by marketing teams to print more money. A lot of rock is getting that way too. The only genres of music that I believe are still authentic and creative are punk, post-hardcore, and indie. There are more original, creative, talented artists in just one of those genres than in Country, Hip-Hop and Pop music combined.

[@aaronstark5060]

If the completely matched tempo and chord progression are damning enough evidence for how formulaic this is, the fact that the production is indistinguishable between them is.

[@jaredshetler]

If anybody was curious about overlap in songwriters, Rodney Clawson and Chris Tompkins were both cowriters on "Sure Be Cool if You Did" and "Drunk on You," and Cole Swindle wrote on "Chillin' It" and "This is How We Roll."

[@Rosskles]

Lol 'songwriters'

[@porky75]

People missing the point. It is not about the mashup. it is that there is no creativity left. The masses just want to hear the same thing over and over again and the songwriters feed them what they want. So sad.

Pro tools killed the 'mistakes' in music. A bunch of musicians, songwriters, lyricists, engineers and producers used to jam together and leave stuff they recorded. It sounded great and was unique. Now they cut and paste stuff into a song from pro tools and click tracks....

[@CodyCLI]

@@wendyc7730 I get what you're saying to a certain extent, but with EDM being my favourite type of music. You can still make incredible soundscapes with these types of tools, allowing you to be much more precise in the production of music. You can also add in some flaws which genres like lofi and glitch use to add to the atmosphere of the music.

Blake Shelton has another song that sounds like it came from the same mold. It's called "What She Likes". My mom was just listening to it and it made me think of this Mashup. It sounds like it uses the same melodic chord progression and a similar tempo. At one point it even had the exact same lead fill as some of the songs in this video.
