Week 5

"Hey Good Lookin" Hank Williams 

This song is one that I would actually consider listening to without being forced to by this class. I am a huge fan of old country music. I vaguely remember being little and hearing this song play in my grandmas car. She likes Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr. My favorite genre of music is country so this was a good choice for me. This song is the very beginning of country music and it is interesting to see how much the genre has changed from when this song was written to what it is now. This song brings emotions of love and the feelings you get when you like someone. The lyrics are clever and they all fit together to tell a story of a guy telling a girl he wants to spend all of his time with her. He is showing his affection and says that he wants her and only her and he is going to write her name on every page of his date book, and that is cute! The target audience is probably more towards young adults and teenagers because it has a young feeling to it. It talks about an old truck and listening to music and soda, things that teenagers are all about. I think it is such a cute song all together. There is nothing that i don’t like about it and the more I listened to it and really focused on what it was saying made me like it even more when I understood what it was about.

  1. Liked how you chose a song that had ties from more than just in class. With a piece you grew up listening to just goes to show that this song was a standard that has lasted through the generations. Probably from its clever lyrics and target on teenagers! Sort of how most of our parents still listen to music from their teenage years and then pass it on to us. Anyways, overall great post!

  2. I like your honesty about not feeling forced to listen to this song, because it's required for the class. The way you described this song reminds me of a lot of country songs that are played today. It also brings me back to my teenage years of going and getting a treat with friends and listening to my music loud.
