A Song From a Band I Hate

I'm going to attempt to do this memey thing called 30 Days of Song. I will not post this every day, because oh-my-pants-I'm-bored-already. Instead I'll post once or twice a week, as I feel like. So there. I am unrepentantly stealing this from Jen O. at My Tornado Alley. She rocks. I'm not sure if she stole it from somewhere, but here we go. 

A Song from a Band I Hate

I truly believe that Rascal Flats is the country music equivalent to Nickelback. No one admits to liking them, but someone is showing up to their full arena concerts and purchasing those millions of tickets.

I'm not even sure what I find so offensive about Rascal Flats. Maybe that's just it, there's very little there. Nothing to love, nothing to hate, nothing to get all emotional about. You know how much I love to get all emotional.

So, I feel it's sort of cheating to say that I really love their version of "Life is Highway." After all, it's a cover of Tom Cochrane's hit with all the sort of sexy undertones downplayed for the Disney/Pixar masses. And yet...

And yet, I find it catchier and rockier than the original. Which probably means that I should be burned at the stake. Plus, I really love Lightning McQueen.
