I'm not normally one to listen to country music but I'd rather listen to it than radio commercials.  So this morning I happened to hear the song 'Save a horse, Ride a cowboy'  I'd heard bits and pieces of the song before but never it's entirety.  Rap hating Country music fans out there take note:  This is a Country-RAP song.  (Let's just call it CRAP, shall we?) 

Actually, it's probably closer to what I understand to be Hip Hop rather than Rap.  My understanding of the difference between the two is that Hip Hop often contains actual singing as well as Rap.  CHH just doesn't have the ring that CRAP does!  Besides, even though it was a fun song I'm really an old school (pre 1981) country music fan.  The popular country music of today seems to hold little resemblance to what I think of as Country.  Anyway, I digress.

While this song has no obvious sound similarities to a Rap song, the basic structure and subject matter qualify it as a rap song.  It's got a fun catchy tune which correlates to a good beat in RAP.  It's all about "gettin' some" which is one of the main subjects in Rap music and there is a long 'spoken' segment.

Ok, it's not a deep and meaningful observation but what do you expect?
