Plus, the Loose Cattle version was really good (and different from the original).

Full disclosure here, though - even without the video, I would have picked this one simply because the sound quality was so much better. I know Scotty is a country artist, but I couldn't hear much of the vocals or music in his video. His would have been much better recorded, but I'm guessing like many other artists out there, this is probably something he just performs live for now? <br /><br />But yeah. My vote is for Loose Cattle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917749460140880592.post-16020069022252810832015-12-17T21:46:06.777-08:002015-12-17T21:46:06.777-08:00Love this song, its just adorable.

Put him in a studio with a decent sound system and he could be a George contender. I'll give him my vote because he was very good despite the musical backup.<br /><br />Merry Christmas Dude :)dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917749460140880592.post-33539135977650211862015-12-17T17:35:27.322-08:002015-12-17T17:35:27.322-08:00Loose Cattle gets my vote!
