48 The Hard Way
Not a sequel to The Hard Way with Guy Pearce and Rachel Griffiths (Still one of my favorite actresses), but rather 48 in 08 is this weekend at Madlab, http://www.madlab.net/48in08.htm. So, as we countdown to 48 in 08, I'm gonna countdown the top 48 hits in the country from 48 and I won't stop til I've reached the top.
48. Darius Rucker Don't Think I Don't Think About It Yep, Hootie is back. On a country label. Guess what? It still sucks. So keep your copy of Cracked Rear View Mirror hidden. or whatever the name of that album was.
47. Metro Station Shake it I think it's a dance song. That's my hunch. Just to be safe, i'm shakin' it right now.
46. Toby Keith She Never Cried In Front of Me This reminds me of an intro to a sketch for Too Much Christmas 2007 that I gave as Hermy the Elf. Which makes me think this song is about when Toby Keith came out to his mom.
45. Jazmine Sullivan Need U Bad I actually like this song. And not just because it's a good looking woman named Jazmine telling me she needs me bad. but, it doesn't hurt.
44. 50 Cent Get Up I don't know if 50 Cent is half as interesting as when he first burst on to the scene, but I do know he's a dead ringer for Rodney Stuckey, the sensational young guard for the Pistons. But Stuckey hasn't been shot 9 times.
43. Kenny Chesney with The Wailers Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven What the hell is wrong with people?
42. Kid Rock All Summer Long That song where Kid Rock uses Sweet Home Alabama to talk about how great Northern Michigan was when he was young while making Warren Zevon spin in his grave or urn or whatever as he uses the melody from "Werewolves of London." At least he's a Pistons season ticket holder.
41. Shontelle T-Shirt I got nothing on this one.
40. Leona Lewis Bleeding Love She's really pretty. And British. Sold.
39. Gavin Rossdale Love Remains The Same What happened to this guy? I figure marrying Gwen Stefani would make you rock even more, but no. Then again, some would say he never rocked. On top of that, I don't think the Blue Jackets play Machinehead when they take the ice anymore. Then again, that's probably a positive for Gavin.
38. T-Pain featuring Chris Brown Freeze One guy always sings through a vocoder and a shiny grill. The other one dances more than he sings. And they just keep putting out hits.
37. Carrie Underwood Just a Dream I would usually ding on Carrie Underwood being an American Idol and all, but she dumped Tony Romo, so she gets props in my book.
Now, we're up to our look back at the top songs from 5 years ago. And 5 years ago the #37 song in the nation was Toby Keiths I Love This Bar. The name of the bar he loved? Slammers! Now, on with the countdown....
