Everyone from Justin Bieber to Sam Smith seems to be a fan of Drake's unexpected hit song "Hotline Bling," but don't count country star Justin Moore among the fans.
In a video for the Phoenix, Ariz., radio station KNIX Country 102.5, Moore read the lyrics of the danceable tune in a deep southern drawl, mocking the lyrics in a humorous video that would suggest he's perhaps not Drake's biggest fan.
"Hotline Bling" certainly doesn't display Drake's most prolific lyrical abilities, so when you take the words away from that infectious beat it is pretty funny. Moore almost made it through the whole song without cracking until he got to the moody bridge.
"These days, all I do is wonder if you bendin' over backwards for someone else/ Wonder if you're rollin' up a backwoods for someone else/ Doing things I taught you/ Gettin' nasty for someone else," Moore read, finally laughing.
Coming from Moore's mouth, the lines would actually fit pretty well into a country song. But Moore was none too impressed.
"How much more money does this guy make than us?" he asks at the end of the video. "Are you kidding me?"
However, could Moore's music and most other top-charting country songs stand up to the same test? tMoore has some clever lines in his choruses, such as in his new single "You Look Like I Need a Drink," and even some cute romantic lines in "Point At You." But it's undeniable that Moore's song "Beer" has some lighter, sillier lyrics.
"Beer is great, beer is good, it tastes just as good in the city as it does in the woods," he sings on the song.
Rolling Stone Country said the video has racked up 5 million views already since its release Tuesday. Watch the clip below.
