  • I've been seeing all the memes nonstop.

  • - It sounds good. I know it's a meme,

  • but this is a great song.

  • - ♪ Hat down, cross town, livin' like a rock star

  • - Go ahead, Billy! - See, this is the added lyrics.

  • Okay. Okay, Billy. - This is dope,

  • (chuckles) It's a good song.

  • - I love the sound.

  • It's like country went gang-gang. (laughs)

  • - (FBE) So, this was a remix of a song, "Old Town Road,"

  • created by Atlanta rapper, singer, and song-writer Lil Nas X

  • that featured country star Billy Ray Cyrus.

  • - What a collaboration that none of us saw coming.

  • - (FBE) So, do you know anything about this whole trend

  • around the "Old Town Road" song? - I've seen the whole

  • "Old Town Road" thing all over Twitter.

  • - People use it in certain memes. The song itself is very

  • meme-type music. It easily lends itself

  • to any sort of meme dance or meme format.

  • - It was really meme worthy, 'cause it's totally different.

  • It's got a great hook. And then I hear they pull it

  • from the country chart.

  • That's some [bleep] right there, Billboard.

  • - (FBE) So, we'll get into the history in a moment

  • and show you a lot more, but let's look at some

  • of the reactions to this Billy Ray remix

  • after it came out. - Ooh.

  • - Ha! (chuckles) "Okay, but Billy Ray Cyrus

  • ate that damn remix." - "Wow, that was so powerful."

  • Yay! (claps) I love that we're there.

  • - It's always so funny when people use clips from React

  • or anything from FBE. - I love this Elders React

  • video/photo/gif that always makes it in memes now.

  • It's so perfect. (chuckles) - I didn't cry,

  • but I was like... I felt it.

  • - It's cool to kind of see that someone so high up

  • in the industry is so willing to be able to just work

  • with someone that's new. - What he did was powerful,

  • but you know, it's a song.

  • - "Me: Man, I hate country music. Also me listening to Billy Ray Cyrus

  • on the Old Town Road remix." My life!

  • - Yes, this is true. - That was honestly me.

  • I hate country music. - That's me, 100%.

  • - He's just having the time of his life.

  • - ♪ ...Rodeo with my Maserati sports car

  • - That song goes hard. You don't wanna like it,

  • because it's country, but it's good.

  • - "Y'all call me when you're ready to shoot the video"-- oh my gosh!

  • WOW! - Ayy, Will Smith!

  • - Love that everything, he's always the first to hop on it.

  • I don't know if he's in charge of his social media,

  • but whoever is, they're on it.

  • - ♪ ...can't no more ♪ - ♪ I got the... ♪

  • - Yess! - The internet is freakin' weird, bro.

  • - Oh, this would be everything! We need a little Django Unchained

  • tied in here. I feel like that would be the ultimate.

  • - (FBE) So, this remix is a continuation of an internet journey

  • for this song. So, jumping back to how most

  • have said this original song began trending,

  • Lil Nas X allowed TikTok users to freely use his song within the app.

  • And it quickly inspired these two different challenges

  • that have gone by several different names,

  • including Yeehaw Challenge or Yee Yee Juice.

  • - I definitely have seen the Yeehaw Challenge,

  • but I've been so confused about it, and now I'm kind of like...

  • the puzzle pieces of Twitter are coming together.

  • - ♪ I'm gonna ride till I can't no more

  • ♪ I got the horses in the back

  • - (laughs) He changed clothes. Oh, he love it.

  • Oh, uh! Uh!

  • - Oh my god! This is so corny!

  • Why does he look like he's in some girl's dorm room?

  • - Listen, I can't even be mad, 'cause he hit that.

  • - it's something that everyone could participate in too,

  • 'cause everyone got a flannel.

  • - ♪ Take my horse to the... ♪ - Get it, girl. What you got?

  • - Oh, girl. We're matching. I love it.

  • - ♪ I got the horses in the back

  • Horse tack is attached ♪ - Oh! That was cool. That was cool.

  • - She looked cute and outfits are on point,

  • but the dancing was horrible. - Oh, this girl,

  • I've always seen her on TikTok. - Okay, I like this one.

  • - See, I'm just so impressed by TikTok users in general,

  • 'cause I'm like, "I can't do it."

  • - It's making people switch, you know, from what they're doing now

  • and getting that cowboy hat. Ayy! Let's try that.

  • I think I might get me one.

  • - Oh, ride that horse. You little cutie!

  • Ohh my god! - Yeah, get your kid on TikTok.

  • Aww! Okay, that's cute.

  • - I want a son right now. Right the [bleep] now.

  • - We always are gonna find something to do.

  • We need a break sometimes from reality.

  • - Ahh, the yeehaw juice. - ♪ Ride till I can't no more

  • ♪ I got the horses in the back

  • - Oh my god! He's in a big green tractor!

  • - ♪ Horse tack is attached ♪ - They doin' the most.

  • They are doing the most.

  • - There's something just so fun about it.

  • The chorus is catchy. And it's silly,

  • because hip-hop country isn't something that we see often.

  • - ♪ Ride till I can't no more ♪ - (chuckles) "Yee-yee juice."

  • (laughs) Kitty!

  • - Not the cat! No!

  • - ♪ Ride till I can't no more ♪ - Cowboy hat, cowboy hat, cowboy hat!

  • Yeah! (chuckles)

  • - ♪ I got the horses in the... ♪ - Awww!

  • I have a little mini pink cowboy hat for my puppy. I'm doing that.

  • I'm replicating that.

  • - Come on, mom. Drink that yee yee juice.

  • Wee. Oh, [bleep]!

  • (laughs) That was a good one.

  • - Get it. Ohh! - Wait, she evolving?

  • - (chuckles) "angelmattsmom."

  • - Oh my god! Yeah!

  • - Got the whole family involved.

  • - That's probably my favorite. (laughs) Get it, gir--

  • (wheezing laughter) That was my favorite so far.

  • - They did good. I saw she had a Nashville shirt on,

  • so maybe... they a little southern.

  • I like it. - It's really funny

  • when older people, adults, parents and stuff,

  • try to be young and stuff, 'cause it's really funny.

  • And it makes for good comedy.

  • ♪ ("Old Town Road" violin cover) ♪

  • - "Yee Juice but with a violin."

  • - This is a different version of the song-- oh, "but with a violin."

  • - She better hit it. Oh my damn!

  • - Ooh. She's elevating that [bleep]. - We got violin covers already?

  • Sick. - Oh, showcase that talent, bitch!

  • - That was awesome. See, she has talent.

  • - People are doing their own little twists on it,

  • and that's what I like to see. - (FBE) Okay, you've seen

  • the challenge videos, and you know the remix.

  • So finally, here is the original song and video

  • for "Old Town Road." And then, we'll get

  • into all the controversy behind its success.

  • - All right. I swear to god, if I don't see a horse,

  • I'm gonna be real mad. - ♪ I'm gonna take my horse

  • to the old town road ♪ ♪ I'm gonna ride... ♪

  • - I'm very confused. - ♪ I got the horses in the back

  • Horse tack is attached ♪ - This is all digital or animation.

  • This is nice. - Red Dead 2!

  • That's what he used for the video? - They did the music video

  • for Red Dead Redemption? (chuckles)

  • - ♪ I've been in the valley ♪ ♪ You ain't been up

  • off that porch now ♪ - Oh my god.

  • These graphics are insane. - Graphics are so good nowadays.

  • This is insane.

  • - Eh, it's fun. It's cool.

  • It's like... there's something about the whole cowboy thing

  • that's just so popular right now.

  • - ♪ Take my horse to the old town road

  • - Now, they should do Party in the USA,

  • but with GTA V. There are so many different ways

  • you could take video games and music now.

  • - That was very interesting. I like the remix WAY more!

  • - (FBE) Now anybody who likes Red Dead Redemption

  • but hasn't heard his music or his song, now boom.

  • That's a whole new fan base. Well done, Lil Nas.

  • - Now, there's this formula where people are intentionally

  • kind of making fun meme music, and because it's made to be meme-y,

  • people are throwing it into memes, and it just works.

  • - (FBE) So, that was the original single that was released

  • in 2018 by Lil Nas X, in part from things

  • like using footage from the game Red Dead Redemption 2.

  • - That's so weird, but I guess I get it.

  • I'm guessing he didn't have much of a budget,

  • so they kind of worked with what they got,

  • and this is a creative way to do it.

  • - (FBE) And because of the momentum of the challenges and the memes

  • that it spawned, this song ended up going viral.

  • And with how the charting data is now compiled,

  • that can include digital streams. So, this song actually

  • debuted on the Billboard charts, and it was number 19.

  • - Wow! That's really good.

  • - (FBE) But it was on the country music charts.

  • - Screw the Billboard. That's number one in the world.

  • - This is 10,000% a country song. I don't know how you would say

  • it's a rap song over a country song.

  • - (FBE) So, this caused a lot of controversy,

  • because people felt that it wasn't truly a country song

  • and wasn't truly a hit either, because it was more of a trend online.

  • So, what's your opinion on that?

  • - I mean, isn't something a hit if it's a trend?

  • That feels so contradictory to me.

  • - There's no traditional way for music to be spawned anymore.

  • That's out the window. So, if Billboard is strictly speaking

  • with radio airplay, that's decades old at this point.

  • If everyone's sharing it, and everyone's listening to it,

  • it's hot. - I don't really think

  • it's a country song, but it also kind of does that thing

  • where it bridges, like, okay, you know, you get

  • your hip-hop/rap type of stuff. Who's to say that it can't be country?

  • If he put it in there, and he said, "Oh,

  • I classify this as a country song," then if that's what you call it,

  • then I'll just have to accept it as country.

  • - It is a country song, because country itself

  • as a genre also has many subgenres.

  • Why can't we use hip-hop and then kind of meld it in

  • with country? - Who are the people

  • that are judging it? Because if you look

  • at the challenges, a lot of people loved it.

  • So, I mean, who can say definitively what it is country music?

  • - (FBE) So, after the controversy about this, Billboard actually

  • removed "Old Town Road" from the country charts,

  • saying that it didn't embrace enough elements

  • of today's country music to chart

  • in its current version. - Lies.

  • - (FBE) So, do you agree with that? - No, I don't.

  • Country needs to come on. Let's get with the times. (snaps)

  • Let's go. - I think it's a very

  • close-minded thing to say. As time goes on, things evolve

  • even down to music and how it sounds.

  • - That was probably a solid group of maybe five people

  • that came to that conclusion, and they all just...

  • you know, they probably specialize in country music

  • or the generic country music. It's good to overstep the boundaries

  • a little bit, and he killed it.

  • - If a new wave of interest or a new way of direction

  • that it goes, it upsets people.

  • And people are afraid. (gasps) "Oh my gosh.

  • What's gonna happen?" And I think that's sad,

  • and it immediately needs to be rectified.

  • - (FBE) So, after it was removed is when in response

  • some say that this collaboration with Billy Ray Cyrus happened.

  • - Champion. He's the man for that.

  • - (FBE) And regardless of what genre you think

  • the song belongs to, on April 6, 2019

  • on the heels of Billy Ray Cyrus's response

  • to the original "Old Town Road," it reached the number one spot

  • on all of Billboard on the Billboard Hot 100,

  • meaning it was ranked the most popular in sales,

  • radio play, and online streaming. - Exactly. Okay?

  • So, that's how you use your white privilege

  • to up the level of other people and shenanigans.

  • - They had it on the country charts before the remix.

  • It was obviously created by a black man.

  • And then it took a white singer to jump in for them

  • to be like, "Okay, it's country now." I think that that's kind of fishy.

  • - (FBE) So, do you think that people actually like

  • this song and are playing it? Or do you think a lot of people

  • are trolling to try and get it to be popular,

  • since it was originally taken off?

  • - I think it started off as a joke, but then I think

  • the more it got played, the more people kind of got into it.

  • - It's definitely a 50/50. People are gonna do it

  • just 'cause it's like, "Oh, we can take this

  • and make different variations of it."

  • But then other people are like, "No, this song actually slaps."

  • - It's a mixture of both people trolling

  • and people that actually enjoy the song,

  • because, you know, I like the memes,

  • but I also recognize that this song is fire.

  • - I like the song, so I'm gonna go ahead

  • and guess that people genuinely do like the song.

  • It's something different. It's something that we haven't

  • really heard before, which is hard.

  • - (FBE) So finally, do you think that this will

  • have lasting power and will be considered the number one hit of 2019?

  • Or do you think it will be looked at more as a meme

  • and a trend online rather than a hit song?

  • - If he didn't have Billy Ray Cyrus on the song, it would definitely

  • just be a meme. But the fact that he got Billy Cyrus on there

  • is just gonna cement it as an actual song.

  • - I wanna say that it'll stay up there,

  • and it'll be a genuine good song of 2019.

  • But it's kind of like the thing with, you know, Drake's song,

  • the Kiki. It comes and it goes.

  • - It'll be a song that we remember and we enjoy.

  • And maybe three months from now, we'll all be at a club

  • and someone will throw the song on and be like, "Whoa, dude!

  • This is Old Town Road!" - It's gonna be a number one hit,

  • 'cause he wrote that song. It's not just some repetitive words.

  • I mean, he tells a story. So, I think it's something respectable.

  • - I don't know, actually. We'll see, you know what I mean?

  • This is the first time that it's going in this direction,

  • so we'll see. And honestly, whether it does

  • or it doesn't really doesn't matter.

  • We're gonna be on to the next thing and so forth and so on.
