As someone who defends country music’s right to rock (or rap), I’m trying to embrace Cowboy Troy’s "Hick Chick [Dance Mix]," but I’m on the fence.
Plus: It’s got a beat you can dance to.
Minus: Pretty sure he says to "Feel it in your crack."
Plus: It’s a call-and-response song. "Where all the hick chicks?" "Right here, Troy! Right here!" And who doesn’t love a good call-and-response?
Minus: As Slezak points out, "He just rhymed grocery with supposed to be."
Plus: Cowboy Troy and John Rich look good in suits.
Minus: There’s a woman swinging in stirrups. Does country music really need video girls?
Ugh. That’s three pluses, and three minuses. Care to break the tie in the comments section, P-Dubs?

PC Police Alert: Isn’t “hick” a derogatory term for Southern white people? Should Cowboy Troy be sayin’ that? It smacks of reverse Imus. Oh, and I can’t get past his delivery to like the song much.
minus: has the girl from Dancelife
Ahhhh country music, always good for a laugh. Whenever I feel the need to feel better about myself, I just turn on CMT for 5 minutes and mull over the fact that people actually watch that stuff and actually ENJOY it, does the trick every time!
That is 3 minutes and 51 seconds that I will never get back.
Well there was a midget (briefly), but I can’t decide whether that’s a plus or a minus.
minus: 3 minutes and 51 seconds of pure garbage
minus, definitely. country stars should stick to country & not try rap. EVER!
Cowboy is a rapper? who knew.
I’m a big time country fan, but this just plain old sucks. I was horrified to see it on CMT the other day and am hoping they take that sorry excuse for a song (of any genre) off the air soon!
Definitely minus – and since when do guys ask a girl “for your name, and possibly your email”? Email to ask for a date? Seriously?
That really sucked. Immensely.
Well, speaking as someone from a hick town, ‘hick chicks’ don’t look like that. Those girls need to put on about 30 pounds.
I agree Cowboy Troy looks good, and it’s got a good beat, but the lyrics are sort of inane. I’m on the fence as well.
I’m pretty sure John Rich would look good in anything, although I am liking him in that suit…
It’s a train wreck! As a non-country loving black girl, I was sucked in by the world premiere of this video on CMT (I did not even know I had this channel)countdown! It is very bizarre. It won’t make it to my iPod though.
That is about as country as Aerosmith!
Boo!

Jen – I second you on everything you said about John Rich!
Did anybody else notice that John Rich smashes his guitar just like in the Rockstar video?
on the up side the girls try to dress like hillbilly girls note that i said try but who doesnt love to watch hot girls dance in sequence
As being a girl from what we call a Hick Town…most of our hick girls are tiny casue we work our butts off and I personally like the song. I’ve always been a fan of Cowboy Troy and John Rich. I think its a new form to introduce to the music world and deserves its own chance.
I love it!!! i have always loved cowboy troy and john rich(of big&rich)i think it is awsome and he needs to keep up the good work i love that he is differnt and not just another singer hes got hick hop style that no one has!
it’s fun. It’s not meant to be a classic hit. Enjoy it for what it is. (and yeah look around the world. MOST people don’t look like those girls_
Hey Junior.
Luckily PC hasn’t worried us southerners. We are able to laugh at ourselves because we know MOST of us are good people. I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as what Imus said by the way. IMHHO (In my humble hick opinion )
Hey Hutchy . You might want to learn a bit more about yourself.
I am sure you would call me a hick, which is OK. I used to say I hated Opera and my father told me it showed ignorance to comment on things I don’t understand. You might want to think about that awhile. This is not meant to be mean.The world would be very boring if we all like exactly the same thing.
Cowboy Troy is a joke. He sucks. He opened for B&R at Mohegan Sun in CT, and everyone just sat there, waiting for him to get off the stage. HORRIBLE. No stage presence, his songs BLOW. It’s not country, it’s CRAP. I can’t wait untill B&R stop giving him a free hand out and drop him from the tour so he can just fade away.
All I got to say is … I’m glad that us country girls have finally got something we can truly dance to when we go out to dance in the cities.

Personally i dont think any country should be mixed with any sort of rap music. It’s just plain stupid. To all the people dissing country music, it’s usually the people that can relate to the lyrics in a country song that like it. But anyways.. Cowboy Troy should not exist.
i don’t think rap has anything to do with country music . counrty music is going way south!!!most country songs now are rock songs or pop songs .. now rap??i think they need to be put songs in proper categories.. not just in country music because that is what is popular..rap is popular .put hick chick song where it belongs.and the majority of the songs they are throwing into country music!!
alright i know this isnt at all considered country but it does happen to be one of my favorite songs call me strange i know. it should yes be in a different category of music however
