28 | !Tropes: |
29 | * AsTheGoodBookSays: In "Lonely Road of Faith", during the bridge, Kid Rock says a verse that is similar to Psalm 23:4: "Though I walk in the valley of darkness / I am not afraid / 'Cause I know [[YouAreNotAlone I'm not alone]]." |
30 | ** Furthermore, Kid is an ordained minister. |
31 | * BluesRock: On "You Never Met a Motherfucker Like Me", "Baby Come Home", and a few others. |
32 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: |
33 | ** "Picture" had different edits to censor the line "Fueling up on cocaine and whiskey". One version changed "cocaine" to "water", and another just muted the word entirely. |
34 | ** On "WCSR," the word "fag" is reversed and an unknown phrase by Snoop Dogg is bleeped out. There is an "unedited" upload on Website/YouTube, but it does not include the mystery phrase. |
35 | * CallBack: Some of the lyrics in "Trucker Anthem" (such as "call up your friends, I'll get your whole fuckin' crew high") and the "Kid Rock, I got the sex rhymes" part in "WCSR" comes from an earlier song called "Mom & Dad, I Use Drugs". Also on "Trucker Anthem", Music/UncleKracker introduces Kid Rock as "The Music/EarlyMorninStonedPimp of the goddamn nation" |
36 | ** ''[[Music/DevilWithoutACause King Cowboy, baby, you know my credits]]'' |
37 | * FakeShemp: Due to label issues, the official single version of "Picture" has Allison Moorer singing Music/SherylCrow's part. However, most stations played the Sheryl Crow version anyway, and it was even listed as "Kid Rock with Sheryl Crow or Allison Moorer" on the charts. |
38 | * GenreMashup: On "Forever", Kid Rock raps: |
39 | --> Do not hate or question the music I make |
40 | --> I make PunkRock, and I mix it wit the HipHop |
41 | --> I get cha higher than a tree top, you wanna roll with the Kid Rock? |
42 | --> I make SouthernRock, and I mix it wit the HipHop |
43 | --> I got money like Fort Knox, I'll forever be the Kid Rock |
44 | * GuestStar: Music/SherylCrow on "Picture" and Music/SnoopDogg on "WCSR". |
45 | * ShoutOut: ''[[Music/EltonJohn B-b-b-b... Benny and the Jets is hot]]'' |
46 | ** ''With Music/{{ACDC}} on, [[Music/BackInBlack from "Hell's Bells", to the next 9 songs]]'' |
47 | ** ''I drank with [[Music/HankWilliamsJr Hank]], talked blues with [[Music/ZZTop Billy]]\ |
48 | Rocked with [[Music/RunDMC Run]], sang with [[Music/WillieNelson Shotgun Willie]]'' |
49 | * SongStyleShift: "Lonely Road of Faith" is a Country Rock ballad. But then during the bridge, it briefly morphs into a RapRock / CountryRap song, before going back to Country Rock. |
50 | * TakeThat: ''You're El Music/DeBarge'' |
