This Audible Heisman is awarded to the song that is stuffed down your throat yet you fight it and fight it, but it actually is good for you. That is how I feel about this award winner. There were times, where three, separate genre, radio stations would be playing this song. It was in the malls, department stores, government buildings, etc. Not even Jack Bauer could escape it. Usually, when this happens, and it happens way, way, way more than should be legal, the disdain starts to build around the 328th time you've heard it. As this occurs with a truly, objectively good song, you forget that its a good song. Very similar to the way a really good truth, can become trite and platitudinal. For an example, telling someone God bless. If you are anything like me, that can ring hollow. But think about what you are saying; you are telling that person that the infinite, all powerful, mighty, loving, sovereign God could/would put his favor on that person to the extent, that they would find themselves so wrapped up in His presence and goodness (which is the deepest way a person is blessed). I also, really enjoy this song because I've been with this band since their first album and am excited to see them get the national pub that they've warranted. Without further ado, the Brussel Sprouts Award goes to...
Lady Antebellum- 'Need You Now'
Solid love song. Pain, regret, departure; gotta love it. Random trivia fact, this song is also the only non-50's/60's/kenny rogers/neil diamond song that my dad has gone out of his way to mention that he likes. I just about did a spit take when he told me but I was proud of him for embracing something from this century. After this commercial break, El Cucuy Award will be presented.
