Today, I continue posting random songs to this Cortex platform to ask Shackers the same question. Does this song suck? Today's song is Rednex's "Cotton Eye Joe."
Reasons it might suck:
- The music makes me want to hurt myself
- The lead singer looks like Kurt Cobain's corpse
- Too much hay in the music video
- Maybe too much fiddle in the track
- The female vocalist's singing voice gives me Chipmunk vibes
- she also sounds constipated
- The core electronic music loop is repetitive and horrible
- except that hot lead track, of course
- This might be the worst song ever created
- The rats in the music video are offputting
- The lyrics are repetitive and terrible
- If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
- I'd been married long time ago
- Where did you come from, where did you go?
- Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
Reasons it might not suck:
- 126 million views on YouTube
- Pretty sick banjo solo
- That bullriding lady seems to be having a fun tim in the video
- This band's name is kinda awesome
- That fiddle player really sells the performance
- I had this tape back in the day
- I played this so much in my car that my friend once lost it and threw the tape out of the window
- Song has a group of people chanting "Hey!"
- It can't be all that bad
Maybe this song is better when performed live?
Nope.
The question I pose to you, Shacknews... Does this song suck?
