Blake Shelton Delivers 'Boys Round Here' Video (Recap)


.
On Tuesday Blake Shelton Delivers 'Boys Round Here' Video was a top story. Here is the recap: (Radio.com) With a chorus of "chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit," and lyrics about Bocephus, honky-tonks, and being "backwoods legit," it's pretty clear Blake Shelton's latest single isn't aimed at the NPR set.

Instead it's a good-natured spin on rural culture. Shelton hits on every "red-red-red-red-red-red redneck" cliche in the book�"dirt roads," "ice cold beer," and "girls" "sweet as Dixie crystal" who "deserve a whistle." But the trick is, Blake aims to pull it off with a big, fat wink, acknowledging and celebrating the clich�.

"Well the boys 'round here don't listen to The Beatles," sings Blake. Instead, they "run ole Bocephus through a jukebox needle."

The video for the song takes the concept even further and blows up some of the song's silly details to almost cartoonish proportions�all in the name of good fun, of course.

Blake's not just driving any old four-wheel drive, it's a massive, bright-red behemoth that's nearly as tall as a house. When sipping suds at a front-porch party, the Oklahoma native is surrounded by a tractor, a cow, a pig, and a bevy of adoring men and women (including all three Pistol Annies, his wife among them, as well as onetime Voice contestant Raelynn). - Check it out here.
