Um, that’s why Warren Zevon is listed as a co-writer and his estate gets a share of the royalties.

What I want to know is how he dodged the copyright! It’s a rip off from the piano riff of Warren Zevon’s ‘Werewolves Of London’ from 1978. Can we do nothing original anymore? You can hang this song. Warren Zevon’s ‘Werewolves Of London’ leaves this for dead!

I have never ever liked Kid Rock. Now I dislike him even more.

See, I don’t mind “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It’s a pretty good song. Not on the top of my list, but still a good one nonetheless.

Anyways, I feel Kid Rock has just slaughtered the song (and borrowing that riff from “Werewolves of London”? Shame on him. Warren Zevon rolls over in his grave). And “hackneyed” is definitely a good word for describing this song.

I also put forward these words: plagiarism, completely derivative, lack of originality. Seriously, he should stick to writing his own songs.

The only decent part of the song is the guitar solo. I actually get somewhat pumped during the solo, but when it returns to the main part of the song, I return to my sickened state.

Plus, the fact that I’ve been forced to hear it over the radio at work so many times doesn’t help either.

Overall: Blech blech barf.

I hate that I agree with you Jim.

I hate that Kid Rock sings this song.

And most of all, I hate that I don’t hate this song!

The third caller said, “that’s not country! It’s plagiarism!”

I wonder what that person thinks of early Country, when every other song “borrowed” each other’s tune.

It would be a great fresh sound and everything, except he just sang over Sweet Home Alabama.

And on a side note, cutting out the bridge to “Believe” completely makes that song pointless. The whole point of that song is that there’s life beyond this life. Without the bridge, it’s just a depressing song about this old guy down the street who dies while the narrator’s in college.

In all honesty, if you’re not hearing the samples, then you’re not hearing the song at all. Take out the two samples and there’s basically nothing left musically, other than a drum machine and Kid Rock’s vocals.
