The Chicks - Goodbye Earl (REACTION) First Time Hearing It

[@markoneil2055]

The Chicks always tell it like it is. They pull no punches.

[@maxrnb01]

Can’t say enough about The Chicks. One of the greatest musical acts ever. Natalie’s voice kills.

[@kathyastrom1315]

One of the greatest revenge songs ever written! This was sung at so many karaoke bars when it came out.

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 for whatever the little boy inyou had to go through, I am so so sorry.

[@genny5309]

There is a long tradition of murder ballads in country music. They trace back to the British Isles, and were popular in other areas of Europe too. Independence Day - Martina McBride Kerosene; Gunpowder & Lead - Miranda Lambert Church Bells; Two Black Cadillacs - Carrie Underwood The Thunder Rolls - Garth Brooks The Long Black Veil - Johnny Cash and many others…

[@TheSabrinajm]

I saw The Chicks in concert a year ago and I still have goosebumps❤❤

[@judyjones1044]

Me too!

[@markoneil2055]

Dennis Franz. Hell of an actor.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for reminding me!

[@bre2581]

@@SaeedReacts.gotta check out their song “not ready to make nice” they made a political statement about George Bush and Iraq, got threatened, harassed, and cancelled over it, then wrote that song as like a revenge. It’s the ultimate female rage song,watch the official video on that one for sure.

[@rubymann8759]

I have liked this song since it hit. But Earl walked right thru that restraining order, which happens all to often. Thanks for the reaction

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great song! Thanks for watching.

[@LoisChisholm]

This was the first Chicks song I remember hearing. Though I'm not much of a Country Music fan, I have always enjoyed a Chicks song when I hear one. And there are lots of them. Please check out "Not Ready to Make Nice."

[@patwelch8187]

These things talked bad about our American President while on a stage in Europe...They paid for it, their sales went to zero for years,, Not much better now.. Why would you hate America, in another country, and be proud of it..Freaking scumb@gs..

[@garyhiggins5823]

I love the contrast, a bright and cheerful telling of a really serious subject. Another good payback song is Carrie Underwood, Before He Cheats.

[@auntiethetical]

And that remake of Jolene! 👍

[@auntiethetical]

You remember Andy Sipowicz! 👍😆

[@michaelbeckwith6177]

Thanks Saeed I pretty much forgot this song and your channel brings back good memories which is one reason I check out your channel everyday!!

[@DolaPrice]

Just knew you'd love this. Funny but serious. I had a friend whose ex was like Earl. We'd sing this song with gusto! There was a time when you'd see bumper stickers with a blue body shaped tarp. It said Earl's in the trunk. Some friends would play this at wedding receptions.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Such a great song!

[@loucatozzi7656]

You recognised Dennis Franz and remembered him from NYPD Blue - I am impressed.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I still remember the episode where Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) dies like it was yesterday. That was a powerful one.

[@loucatozzi7656]

@@SaeedReacts. I have only vague memories of the show - some of the first nudity on prime time tv, Sipowitz loosing a finger, that tall old sargeant telling cops to be careful out there...

[@threekidzmom04]

This is such an epic song!! I can't imagine anyone not waving bye bye to Earl!! Great reaction!

[@Violet316]

I had a friend talk me into leaving my first husband while she was picking pieces of a Jack Daniels bottle out of my head. So glad I listened to her.

[@Wolfsblood1138]

I am so sorry you went through that, but I'm very happy that you had a friend who helped get you out of that situation.

[@nancyharn1980]

Zombie Earl dancing at the end is hilarious!

[@sad99q]

Another great one I hadn't heard in a while. Such a unique song. Thanks, Saeed! And that''s Dennis Franz as Earl.

[@karenmandeville7116]

i love zombie Earl!

[@cindyphifer970]

I like their songs

[@toriboy25]

The lead singer Natalie was married to Adrian Pasdar (a year after this video came out) Their last album was mostly all about him. He tried to stop the release of the Album by suing Natalie

[@LeahJo13]

Omgosh!!! I enjoy this song so much. Just a fun little bop about getting revenge. Good video for Domestic Violence Awareness month. Love me some Chicks! I would recommend Wide Open Spaces for another Chicks reaction.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great song! Wide Open Spaces was actually my first Chicks reaction :)

[@LeahJo13]

​@@SaeedReacts. I'll have to go back and watch!

[@Wolfsblood1138]

I knew you were going to enjoy this song, and I was just waiting for the moment when you got their plan. ❤ I will never understand DV, and I really appreciate how The Chicks brought the topic, not only to country radio, but mainstream radio when it came out.

[@arl1958]

Two solutions to problems offered here....southern cooking and camping!!😄😄😄

[@JulieConkle]

Not sure if you noticed, but one of the cops was played by Peter Deluise, who played Andy Sipowicz's son Andy Jr in NYPD Blue.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I did! I blanked on his name though. Thanks for reminding me.

[@catherineday951]

Wasn't Peter, it was one of his brothers...Michael I believe

[@gypsygirl3255]

All Dom's sons are great. Good genes!

[@gypsygirl3255]

They were also heavily involved in the Stargate series and Seaquest DSV.

[@MommaBird52]

I had to see your face 😮 on this one!!!!

[@cappysue]

I do enjoy this song and video.

[@kevinsharpjr]

90's country music band Sons Of The Desert originally recorded this song , it was supposed to be their lead off single for their second album , but due to a dispute with The Chicks record company which was adjusted to their record coming , the Chicks record company went with the Chicks version, which led to the break up with The Sons of The Desert which went five guys to three guys , you can find the Sons of The Desert version on KZbin.

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

First time hearing and enjoying this. Your brain must have so many "drawers" that I sometimes wish I can rummage in. Your memory my friend leaves me awe. Tx Saeed. Greetings from South Africa

[@SaeedReacts.]

It does seem the storage space of my brain is getting full, or maybe i'm absorbing too much information lately :) Thanks for watching. Greetings from Belgium.

[@BioshockChar]

The Thunder Rolls by State of Mine is a cover of a Garth Brooks song. They also included the 3rd verse which Garth only preformed live due to the content for 90s audiences

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood is another great story with a great video.

[@tessmccarthy14]

@@carolyncappitelli1460 another great Carrie Underwood song/video is Two Black Cadillacs!

[@tessmccarthy14]

Also “Church Bells” by Carrie Underwood has amazing storytelling

[@tailoredshirt1]

I’m enjoying your thoughtful reactions! For more of The Chicks, I love their cover of ‘Landslide’. (The original also incredible if you haven’t heard it yet. Haven’t finished looking through your channel.)

[@jewsbad]

There was a guy named Earl that hung out at the same Bar i did, and i would tease him un mercifully, with this song, i would give everyone money for the Jukebox to play this song constantly, lmao

[@randystalnaker6700]

GREAT, GREAT REACTION SAEED!!! ❤❤❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much!

[@debbers]

Hey Saeed, So glad someone requested this song! There are a few men in my past that should've went the way of Earl, instead I packed up in the night while they were at work and left the state with my two children, I was not about to be a statistic! Great revenge song! Thank you for your input and if you were abused as a child I'm sorry and I hope your mother protected you by getting away from that man or men as the case may be! Deb

[@SaeedReacts.]

Hey Deb! Awesome you left that situation. It's definitely not easy to do so. Great revenge song, indeed! Thanks for watching.

[@debbers]

Thank you for heart I really appreciate it!

[@debbers]

@@SaeedReacts. I had two small sons to think about, and didn't want them to be influenced by them and think that's how men should treat women, I had no fear of leaving. Sometimes you just have to take a chance and hope for the best! sometimes they will hunt you down, but usually not! I tell other women in that situation to be brave and just go. Thank you for responding, I'll be here as often as I'm able! Deb

[@edwardcrews2952]

Cowboy Take Me Away is my favorite

[@SondraMayne-b7o]

I loved this reaction!! Good for you for not getting all serious and understanding the song for how it was meant to come across.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Such a great song! Thanks so much for watching.

[@MommaBird52]

This one had some famous actors in it.

[@kweile4339]

Thanks!

[@jolenewitzel7919]

Great song and great video.

[@SaeedReacts.]

So good! Thanks for watching

[@caseyb4425]

One of the police officers, played by Adrian Pasdar, was married to the lead singer Natalie Maines for almost 20 years, divorcing about 5 years ago. One of the Chicks songs that deserves a listen is "Travelin' Soldier". (And also a couple of my personal favorites, "Cowboy Take Me Away" and "You Were Mine")

[@Mallykins]

They have loads of hits.

[@CaraBunez]

Please listen to K.T. Oslin I didn’t expect it to go done this way. Confident woman

[@bazkeen]

The shorter blonde girl, Natalie Maines always reminds of P!nk

[@barbaracollins385]

So glad you play a lot of Southern music. Keep reacting to our music since you have such good inight. Try some Allman Brothers, Lyenrad Skynard, Susan Tedichi, the GeorgiarSattlites.good story telling one and all!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Such great music. I have reacted to some of the artists you mention. Looking forward to more.

[@Carrie-so3ro]

I hope that life is better for you now & any siblings you have (& for your mother also if ...) Abuse is a LEARNED BEHAVIOUR & will be the first reaction many who have gone through it will resort to unless they DELIBERATELY try to work out OTHER ways to deal with anger & disappointment IN ADVANCE. Please pass this on to any siblings you have to think over (& you as well if needed, although you seem to have a more gentle disposition - but still.) Love from Canada & all the best.

[@SaeedReacts.]

It is a lot better now, thanks for checking in and the wise words. Love from Belgium.

[@Carrie-so3ro]

@@SaeedReacts. I'm glad. A good alternative way of dealing with upset/anger is to get your "steam" out in OTHER physical ways ie. going for a run, doing push-ups, smacking a tennis ball or soccer ball against the side of a brick building repeatedly etc. (This is advice for you [& others] - as it is best to end the cycle of abuse taking place down family generations for everyone.) All the continued best, love from Canada.💞

I recommend "March, March" by The Chicks. A very important song and video.

[@welle5086]

❤

[@robin8773]

you really need to see their protest song 'march, march' done after the george floyd killing. its amazing and hard hitting.

[@Calmontheoutside]

Chinchilla’s “Little Girl Gone” (the official video) is a similar female anthem for today’s generation.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I reacted to that song and video a while ago. At the very start of my channel. Really great song!

[@Calmontheoutside]

@ Sorry-I looked but didn’t see on playlist. Thank you for such consistently thoughtful reactions.

Have you seen Harry wait in the truck? Excellent song and video!

Hardy.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I have! It is incredible. It is one of the songs and video's that stayed with me long after i stopped recording.

[@tessmccarthy14]

Two Black Cadillacs by Carrie Underwood is amazing with a great music video that I highly recommend if you liked this!

[@feralart]

The Dixie Chicks were on top of the charts for a good while, until lead Natalie Maines made a few controversial statements about President Bush making her ashamed of being from Texas. Granted, she's free to feel and say whatever she wants, but she really didn't read the room very well considering a large portion of their audience were die-hard conservatives. Most country stations quit playing their songs pretty much overnight.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

This is a fun one that still makes you think about a tough subject. Kinda like Hardys' song 'Wait in the truck'. Serious, shocking song/video about domestic violence & an ending you don't expect. If you haven't seen it, check it out. Powerful stuff for a couple reasons. And, since you love stories, you also need to check out Taylor Swifts song 'No body, no crime'. It has a great story, with 2 murders in about 5 minutes. LOL Really good.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I reacted to 'Wait in the Truck' and also to 'No body, no crime'. Great songs!

[@stevetournay6103]

This song is Independence Day from someone with the polar opposite approach. An absolute banquet of schadenfreude... For a wonderful country number about misery turning into hope, listen to I'm Trying, by Diamond Rio and Chely Wright...
