Pink Floyd fans rejoice! This weekend, classic rock radio stations from throughout the country are airing their "Top 500 Classic Rock Songs of All Time" countdown. If you're like me, you can only tolerate so much Rolling Stones and late Beatles stuff. That's why I've created my own massive and controversial "best of" music countdown, complete with one YouTube clip and some inaccurate lyrics. So here we go, the "Top 5 Oklahoma Commercial Songs of All Time":
Number 5: Brad Henry for Governor (2002)
I'm not sure why, but some people think that Brad Henry's 2002 radio commercial and Barry Switzer's endorsement is what got him the Governor's office. I think it was a guy named Steve Largent. Anyway, if some people think that a song repeating "Brad Henry" 5,000 times got a guy elected governor, it probably belongs in the top 5.
Number 4: "Taco Mayo Me Baby"
Remember this one? Some hillbilly cowboy singing a country tune about what Taco Mayo items he orders on different days of the week, and then bellowing out "Taco Mayo Me Baby?" For some reason, I think this cowboy is a real person, and he is single-handedly keeping all Taco Mayo stores in business. Seriously. When is the last time you had Taco Mayo?
