Just six hours after posting this masterpiece on Facebook Saturday, Berens' "Green and Gold" had been seen more than 800,000 times. "Tailgate in da church lot/with Zubaz on my booty."Īnd in place of Cyrus' lines, we've been blessed with this, from Sheboygan's Dane Schaefer: "Baby shows that fandom/With her foam cheddar cheese bra/And I'm searchin' seven layers/For where the tickets and the keys are." "'Go Pack on my koozie/Grillin is my duty," Berens continues. "Thirteen titles for da Packers/They don't even have ta/Be cheatin' like Tom Brady/His shoes is made for ladies," Berens sings in the video, making fun of the New England Patriots quarterback and his UGG Australia modeling gig. That's because the inescapable Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus hit has been transformed into "Green and Gold," a hilarious ode to the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin life, starring Charlie Berens, the brains behind those viral "Manitowoc Minute" videos.

You may never, ever, ever want to hear "Old Town Road" again.īut you've got to hear this take on "Old Town Road" if you're a Packers fan. There was a whiff of racism in the decision, but Billboard maintained that race wasn't a factor and stuck to their guns, keep the song off the chart even after the Billy Ray Cyrus version was released.You've heard "Old Town Road" a bazillion times. It's likely they faced pressure from the country music establishment, which has a tendency to promote a core group of artists (usually men) from a small set of labels. Billboard offered no official explanation, but later explained that the trap beat and lack of country airplay contributed to their decision. An unsigned rapper storming the chart threw a wrench into this machine, and the following week "Old Town Road" vanished from the Country tally because Billboard ruled it ineligible. Traditionally, the Nashville music machine promotes their artists through country radio and other channels, which eventually lands their songs on Billboard's Country chart. Viral hits often fall into the hip-hop bucket, but "Old Town Road" also has country elements and was allowed on the Country chart, which is far more conventional in terms of how songs are selected. The Hot 100 doesn't distinguish by genre, but Billboard has to designate which songs are eligible for the other two, which is typically determined by how they are promoted by their labels. The same week, it also placed at #36 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #19 on the Country chart. Thanks to gaudy streaming numbers, this song reached the Hot 100 on Maat #83. It was made by the director Calmatic, whose work includes " Young, Dumb and Broke" for Khalid and " Bubblin'" for Anderson Paak. Other cameos include rappers Vince Staples, HaHa Davis and Jozzy as well as "Old Town Road" beatmaker YoungKio. 0:00 / 1:02:12 Lil Nas X - Old Town Road (1 Hour Music Lyrics) 1 Hour Music Lyrics 203K subscribers Subscribe 23K Share 1.9M views 2 years ago LilNasX OldTownRoad BillyRa圜yrus Lil Nas X. Diplo backs them up by strumming on a washboard as the senior citizens take to the dance floor. Later on, Lil Nas meets up again with Cyrus, and together they turn a bingo night at the town hall (led by rapper Rico Nasty) into a line-dancing-filled party. The locals warm up to him though, and he earns their respect when he wins a drag race with his horse. Rock calls it off, telling his deputies, "When you see a black man on a horse going that fast, you just gotta let him fly." But there's more trouble ahead for the outlaws, especially for Lil Nas X, who escapes gunfire by jumping into a bunker that turns into a wormhole, transporting him to modern-day Old Town Road, where he's out of place with his cowboy gear and horse. Billed as a "movie," it runs 5:08, starting with a horseback chase scene where the town sheriff, played by Chris Rock, is after the pair.
