Now that we have some ground rules established, let's go over our honorable mentions before getting to the good stuff.
Honorable mentions:
~ Dreams and Nightmares by Meek Mill - This is a great hype song to get just about anyone ready for a night out. If anyone lives within 100 miles of Philadelphia when this song comes on, they will claim that they are from Philly, but really they only went there a few times to be disappointed with a shitty Cheesesteak from Geno’s or Pat’s, and they probably got robbed as well.
~ American Kids by Kenny Chesney - This song gets the boys groovin' in their boots plain and simple. Some people might call Kenny Chesney gay, but when this song comes on they forget and sing along like a life long fan. This song does not have enough spice to make it into the top 5, but it's definitely one that should be in every country boy's playlist.
~ Knock Knock by Mac Miller (RIP) - This is one where people may not know all the lyrics but they do know one specific part of the chorus that goes “bang bang”, and that's all they need to know about this song. Whenever the “bang bang” part of the chorus comes up, the boys smack the absolute shit out of the closest inanimate object to them. I’ve seen holes in walls and windows when this song goes “bang bang”. Simply put, this song gets the adrenaline flowing.
Now onto the top 5...
NUMBER 5 - Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band
Nothing gets country boys more amped up than thanking the troops for their service, and this song does exactly that. Play this song on Memorial day or the 4th of July and there won't be a single soul not singing along. Enemies become friends when Chicken Fried comes on. A song about eating fried chicken and drinking beer on a Friday night while paying tributes to the troops is all a country boy really needs in life.
NUMBER 4 - Rattlin’ Bog by Carlyle Fraser
This is actually an old Irish jig originally called Bog Down in The Valley O’ but the version that gets the boys going is this version. After a first listen by yourself, you may think that this song sucks major donkey balls, which it does. However, there is a twist that everyone figures out one way or another... there is a drinking game to this song. Whenever the chorus plays, a member of the party must drink until the chorus is over... but once again there is another twist, the chorus gets longer and longer as the song goes. This gets the fellas going, as chugging beer is an American pastime that only gets better with each new generation of professional drinkers.
NUMBER 3 - You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift
When this song comes on once a night, it’s for one purpose and one purpose only... to point at the girl you might have a chance with and mouth “you belong with me.” Taylor didn’t know the amount of one night stands that would come from this song being played at full volume on a slightly broken speaker. If you have gone to hick college parties and haven’t pulled to this song simply put, you ain’t got game and it's time to go back to the drawing board. Who doesn’t love a little T-Sizzle, besides Kanye.
NUMBER 2 - When it Rains it Pours by Luke Combs
This song is an anti-love song that will play (with a good DJ) about an hour after "You Belong With Me" is done playing. This is for the boys that don’t care 'bout no girls and for the boys that can’t get no girls. It’s a great sing-along song and it can really get the second wave of the party going after every guy that can pull is putting the moves on the women. If you've listened to this song one time then you know all the words. It makes highly intoxicated individuals feel like they still got room for another 6 pack when they are about to throw up.
This is an absolute essential on a country hick party playlist. When the boys are going and you hear the first “American girls, American guys”, everyone looks around to take a mental video of what is about to happen. You wanna talk about the feeling of a community and everyone coming together, play this song to a bunch of rednecks that got a nice buzz going and you will feel like you've known everyone around you for your entire life. America is represented by this song, and I bet if there was a nationwide vote to change the national anthem, it would be a unanimous vote for this song (other than Chicago who would vote for Love Sosa by Chief Keef). If you were to cut a hick in college while this song is playing, I think they might actually bleed red, white and blue. Overall if you want to kick things into a higher gear and you have the aux, this is the song you want. I have no idea what kind of air Toby Keith was breathing when he was writing and singing this song, but I think it should be bottled up and put into the museum where the constitution is. God Bless America.
