People Are Crazy

http://http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqrogegV1lw

This is my new favorite song, and I'm not sure that I can verbalize why. The chorus is so ridiculous, "God is Great, Beer is Good, People are Crazy". It is the epitome of cheesy country music, but somehow it just works and makes me smile.

Apparently Currington was on David Letterman a few nights ago. The review surprised me and I had to watch the clip to try to determine if Letterman was being serious. I'm still not sure, let me know what you think.

"It takes David Letterman a full three minutes to introduce Billy Currington. That's how much praise he has for Currington's latest hit, "People Are Crazy." In fact, Letterman is downright gushing like some kind of uber-fan, comparing the artistry of the tune to Michelangelo's "David" and predicting that people will one day be getting tattoos of the song's lyrics on their bodies. He says the song is absolute perfection and embodies everything you think about in life. But the best part of his sermon is when he says, "If I were the people running country music, I would shut it down right now. You're not gonna do any better." After Currington's fantastic performance, which was enhanced with a small gospel choir in the backing band, Letterman comes back out to say, "Oh my God. That's all you need to know. God is great. Beer is good. People are crazy. My hero, Billy Currington.""

No. Way. I can't tell you how many times a day I hear this song thanks to Jess. I make fun of it like crazy. You must like the song that goes something like, "I'll give you a ride on my big green tractor...". What has Tim done to you????? First Hollister and now this?

The link didn't work for me. Did you copy the full link? I'm a little skeptical just reading it, as Letterman is super sarcastic... and that's why I love him.

I love this song too but I'm not sure about the beer part. I sing "people are crazy" all day and it helps me keep sane- :)
