Trace Adkins - Honky Tonk Badonkadonk (2005)
*1/2 (of four)
Some day, there will be a hit rap song delivered entirely in clever tongue-in-cheek cliches popularized by Redneck America. For now, all we have is the opposite, a guy named Trace Adkins adopting ghetto slang and other worn-out phrases to describe the big ol' butt on some random country cutie in the bar.
This junk-in-trunk babe puts down her drink when song she likes comes on, and she proceeds to head to the dance floor and work "what her mama gave her... that money maker." Lest you doubt, this bitch "got it goin' on like Donkey Kong." Not enough unoriginality for you? How about the age-old line, "We hate to see her go but love to watch her leave"?
The entire video takes place in a huge club, where Adkins shows off his giant black cowboy hat, "Honky" and "Tonk" brass knuckles and vaguely phallic cigar. That's all I really noticed about Trace - I was more distracted by the wall-to-wall rented models dancing in scant clothing, and the camera couldn't help but zoom in tight on their shimmying posteriors.
Yep, this is "Baby Got Back" for the trailer park set. I've never seen so much ass-shaking in a country video - I thought this entire genre was the wholesome alternative to hip-hop, devil rock and Top 40. Nope, there's butt cheek and everything here, and protest groups shut also note that Adkins advocates that listeners "smack your grandma."
Still, somehow, the whole affair comes out seeming sanitized and almost wholesome - how "on the edge" can your video be, morally, when your girls chew bubblegum and wear roller skates?
