I hate to age myself ... but Google this song. It was put out a LONG time ago by a guy named John Waite. I think that was his name. LOL This used to be one of my favorites back in the day,
Our own texas girl Niva loves these guys. We stumbled on this version whie rehearsing the song. Wow this version is great. these guys always make tight videos too. Very inspiring for other artists. We'll definitely put up a video of niva doing the song. Thanks B&D!
Love checkin' out all the different versions of this great song. I think I'm liking the duet between Alison K & John Waite best right now but this one is cool, too.
a perfect remake...brooks has a voice yet to be copy...my qrestion is why has dunn been around so long...brooks cleary is the leader, band, voive...????
@dollyscotter12 First of all, It's Ronnie Dunn you're talking about. He kind of became the lead singer. Brooks is Kix Brooks, the guy who does the background vocals and miscellaneous lead guitars. He had a more vocal intensive part of the group ten or fifteen years ago than he has lately, but he still sings songs for the group, and he does the vocals now... plus he is the leader of the band. Next time you have a question, you might want to let it go.
They put their own twist to it. I think that every artist is allowed to do that. After all, it wouldn't be any fun if every version of this song was a total duplicate of the original. They did, however, maintain the phone booth theme from the original John Waite music video.

I watched dis vid three times to find the tranny... I guess I like women too much cuz I didnt see any woman in dis vid dat I wouldnt be happy to have in my bed!
Der Sänger und der Gitarist erinnern mich an Schwule Country Sänger lol. Die Version ist nicht so gut wie das von John Waith wie ich finde, aber das ist ja geschmachksache!
Brookes and Dunn are very good at what they do, but this song belongs to John Waite and though many have tried no one has done it (or will ever do it) better. NO ONE. EVER.
I really like country, but seriously Brooks and Dunn took it, slaughtered it, then caught it on fire. That was so bad I had to stop it just to put in this comment.
don't be a jackass. they did a good job, and it wasn't even Bad English, as John Waite was on his own at the time, so before you insult a good job of a great song, have your facts in order. Oh, and by the way, those "hillbillies" have more hits and number 1s than John Waite or Bad English, douchebag.
#1 singles don't indicate talent or quality. The macarena was a hit single, and Soulja Boy has hit singles, and I think you and I can both agree that both of those suck. What defines a hit depends on the tastes of the public more than actual quality.
Um...don't the public decide who gets a hit single? Yeah..yeah they do. And Brooks and Dunn have been around forever, have a lot of number 1s and a lot of hit albums. If you knew about them, or even googled them before this comment, you would know that. They are the most established and talented duo in country music history.
I just stated that about the public in my comment, or did you skim over my comment until you found something to bitch about? yes, I know how long they've been around. I'm not musically illiterate. I just have far more discriminating tastes than 90% of the population. And you care WAY too much about the opinion of a stranger on the internet than any sane person should.
Well, congratulations for being a nonconformist..I guess that makes you better than everyone. I am a songwriter and an artist, and if you had written "it is my opinion that #1 singles don't indicate talent or quality," or, "it's my opinion that what defines a hit depends on the tastes of the public more than quality," that would be a different tale, but that fact is, you stated it to be fact. But isn't it a fact that the tastes of the public decides what is quality? If not, who does?
If I said it, it's obviously my opinion. And I'm a songwriter too, as well as having been a musician for half my life. But here's something that's a fact: you care way too much about my opinion.
It's not your opinion that I care about. As a songwriter, it bugs me when anyone, especially a songwriter, comes on here and insults another musician, especially one in the upper echelon. We shouldn't insult people on the top, we should aspire to be like them. Soulja Boy, while I don't like his music, he sells a lot of albums and makes a lot of money, and he loves what he does. I can't hate on him for that. As a musician, why would you hate on a fellow musician..especially one on top?
exactly! i feel it's one thing to not like a musicans style or songs, but to bash em and say that they arent any good, when they're legends like brooks and dunn. . . well, it doesnt sound to intelligent. i know that country and rock stars do respect one another. even if their musical genres are different.
you have a point, but in the case of brooks and dunn, they do have chart topping hits and are known as country legends with a huge fan base. so, yes, on the one hand, #1s dont always = talent. but they made several hits, and i believe that makes them a very talented duo.
very good point. :) i'm a fan of john waite's version, and brooks & dunn. the duo are country legends. if you dont like country, thats one thing, but they are both highly respected music artists. another great variation is the john waite and alison krauss duet. awesome video. you may want to check it out if you havent already.
