Line #8 YMMV/TobyKeith


1	* CompleteMonster: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1JOFhfoAD4 Beer For My Horses]]" (ft. Music/WillieNelson), the [[SerialKiller Midtown Ripper]]--real name Jerod Turner--is a slimy JackTheRipoff who goes around slashing prostitutes for his own evil pleasure. The Ripper kills seven women in the duration of the music video, then tries to graduate to CopKiller, attempting to slash both the cop who dresses up as a prostitute to bait him out, and Detective Toby Keith.
2	* CoveredUp: Keith wrote about 95% of his material, but it's happened a couple times:
3	** "A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action" was originally recorded by Music/HankWilliamsJr.
4	** He covered Music/{{Sting}}'s "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying" as a duet with the original artist. The duet outpeaked Sting's original on the pop charts.
5	** Frequent co-writing partner Scotty Emerick released his own version of "I Can't Take You Anywhere", a track from Keith's 2001 album ''Pull My Chain'', as a single in 2003.
6	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
7	** "Red Solo Cup", with its tongue-in-cheek lyrics about drinking from the title cup.
8	** Also, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDQANmQO2g0 I'll Never Smoke Weed With]] [[Music/WillieNelson Willie Again]]".
9	* HarsherInHindsight: The TrailerParkTornadoMagnet joke from "Trailerhood" became this when [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore,_Oklahoma Moore, Oklahoma]] was struck by devastating F5 tornadoes in 2013. At least half of the town was leveled during both tornado outbreaks and dozens of people were killed (including several schoolchildren). His home town.
10	* SequelDisplacement: "How Do You Like Me Now?!" was the second single off the album of that name.
11	* SignatureSong: "Should've Been a Cowboy", "How Do You Like Me Now?!", "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue", "Beer for My Horses", etc.
12	* TearJerker:
13	** "Santa, I'm Right Here", from his first Christmas album, about finding a note from a poverty-stricken child:
14	-->Oh Santa, if you can't find me\
15	We're livin' out here on the street\
16	But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you\
17	Daddy says he knows you'll try\
18	But we might be too hard to find this year\
19	Oh Santa, I'm right here
20	** "Cryin' for Me (Wayman's Song)", a sincere tribute to basketball player/jazz musician Wayman Tisdale.
21	** "Who's that Man", a song about a divorced father watching the rest of his family move on without him.
22	** "Don't Let the Old Man In" is a quiet, contemplative song about facing one's own mortality. Originally written for the soundtrack of Creator/ClintEastwood film ''Film/TheMule'', it shot up to the #1 spot on the [=iTunes=] country charts after Toby sang it at the 2023 People's Choice Country Awards for one powerful reason; it was the first time he'd gone on stage since his cancer diagnosis the year before, and his performance was ''raw''. Tragically, it would be his last; he passed away less than a year later.
23	-->And I knew all of my life\
24	That someday it would end\
25	Get up and go outside\
26	Don’t let the old man in
27	* ValuesDissonance: The music video for “As Good As I Once Was” has him grope an EMT. She gets revenge, but the whole thing is PlayedForLaughs.
