This song, I believe is talking about how much Country Music has changed over the years. George Jones song "who"s going to fill their shoes" talks about this point. There are very few country music artist today that play like or similar to the country music that Hank Williams Jr. is use to making. The nice smooth, tell a story, kind of music.
Yes it could be about how much Country has changed over the years with a few word changes. However it was released in 1980 on the "Habits, Old And New" album and was referring to Disco music.
@@jbrown1971 Evidently you have not listened closely to the song or looked at the lyrics - Hey man them ain't high heel sneakers And they sure don't look like cowboy boots And that ain't rock and roll you're playin' And it sure ain't country or rhythm and blues You're singin' a song about making love to your drummer Well gay guitar pickers don't turn me on And we don't all get into Donna Summer Do you happen to know any old Hank Williams songs 'Cause you see I'm a dinosaur I should have died out a long time before Have pity on a dinosaur Hand me my hat, excuse me man, but where's the door It used to be, I had a lot of fun in this old hang-out We'd get stoned at the jukebox and stay out of fights Now and then, we'd light a little smoke in the truck out back (Aww) Then a little old Jim Beam and we'd get right And you know these flashin' lights sure make me dizzy And this disco's very strange to my ears It looks like they've turned the Longhorn into a spaceship And I'll be leavin' just as soon as I finish this beer 'Cause you see I'm a dinosaur Should have died out a long time before There's a whole lot of dinosaurs So give us our hats, excuse me man, but where's the door Get us our hats, excuse me man, but where's the door where does it say anything about going into a gay bar?
You don’t know how happy this makes me to see grown ass adults enjoying Hank. He was/is definitely the man to turn to to get whiskey bend and hell bound. Lots of memories to Hank❤️🇺🇸
@@ToddiGreat-le2qu It's been three weeks... Do you still like to demean people for comments they made two years ago on subjects they were brand new to?
Easy now. Bocephus is one of them. But calling him, alone, the "GOAT" puts aside Waylon, Willie, Merle and George. Let's just call them a herd of "goatS."
Thanks for playing this, alot of people won't touch ol Hank Jr's stuff..why, well like you and the other comments below...he didn't give a damn, I'll say what I please. Guess what he still believes this....good for Hank jr.
i like your channel because i can tell you really listen like or dont like stuff your not fake its not about race its about real being a person love all your reactions keep it up
I think that this song is letting you know that just because the world changes, you don't have to change your values to fit the world. I only change what I have to
The song is about turning his trusty old juke joint into a disco tech. At the time this came out disco was still big and so many people were hating it and speaking out about it.
Growing up in Oklahoma ridin the backroads drinking cold beer smoke rollin out the windows listenin to Hank Jr...that's how I grew up. And I wouldn't change it for the world!
As a huge HANK fan, so glad to see you do this less popular song. I have always loved this song...it really does describe how alot of us fans of "older country music" feel today. The new stuff is more pop than country. Nothing wrong with pop music, I like that too, but I don't want pop music when I'm in a slow groove country kind of mood. It's about getting older and not being ok with the new changes, how we wish things would stay the way they were. And there are alot of us that feel like dinosaurs. Great reaction! Hank is a deep rabbit hole you could go down
Well said my friend,I'm in that category also,I'm 66 yrs old and I feel exactly the same way and sometimes I do cry but only bcos I sure do miss the good ole days
this is what is called country I want to drink in my sorrows music (setting at the bar) or home, or drink and dance slow. .just plain smooth. Love Hanks style and you to Van.
@@trevormason3825 oh sweet! I've never tried it, actually! Should though! My first songs other than like you are my sunshine and stuff were all Neil young songs for some reason. Kinda liked that country rock guitar stuff
@@clayrobbirds5361 Yeah the whole x-rated album is actually pretty good. Might be a smidge of a ism or two in there but remember he had 2 people of color in the band when it was recorded. 😂
County music is both my favorite and least favorite genres of music. A lot of it's trash (especially post-90s radio stuff) but when it's good, it's GOOOOOD.
I love once in a while having a few mixed drinks with my husband on a Saturday night at home, listen to some old Hank Jr, Conway Twitty and some Mickey Gilley. We dance around the house and just have a nice night. Funny thing is I'm more a hip hop and rocker myself lol. Old country is a smooth and good feeling though. Great reaction!!!
This came out in 80 so this is a badass in boots, jeans, hat, and shades bitching because his kinda bars (think urban cowboy being 5 years before) are all turning into disco in 80. He's lost his hangout and realizing times changed around him and he stayed being Hank Jr. 🤠
I saw Bocephus in concert and he puts on a hell of a show! ☮️♥️😎🤘🏼 Edit: the lead in band was The Georgia Satellites 🛰 “Keep Your Hands To Yourself” 😎✌🏼
Hell yeah. Saw him back in '82 at a smaller outdoor place called "Meadowbrook" here in southeast lower Mich then at a big indoor stadium "The Palace" in 1990. 2 of the best country shows I ever saw.
I've been to three Jr shows and each time the band went on break but Hank stayed on stage,sat on stage sang and played till they came back on for another 3 hrs!!! Great shows!!!
Yep, saw him at the circle star theater San Carlos California a small venue less than 4000 seats and it has a rotating stage, there is no seat further than 50 feet away, what a great concert that was, one of the best I’ve ever been to, can’t remember what year it was! maybe 1982,83,84?
Love how a city guy vibes to a county boy! Watched you review 3 of Hank Jr songs so far. Yeah, he was one of the "Outlaws of Country Music". Very skilled artist loved by many.
I grew up listening to Hank Jr. in the 80's. He's great. He said people used to spit on him because he didn't sound/look like his father when he started 60's. Thank God for Hank!
I love you man. This is the way we're supposed to be. Livin together in harmony, different but the same. For me, Tupac, Marley, Hank Jr. or Jerry Jeff, it's all about livin.
You should check out his dad. Hank Williams. I'm 65 now and growing up my mom liked a lot of the old country music. Hee Haw was the first time I really got a feel for some old country. Check out his father. It's a whole new trip.
"Excuse me man, hand me my hat, I'm out the door..." My late G-Mother's favorite song! AND she was a TRUE diva!!!! Listen to "Blues Man" !!! Love ya LFR!!!!!
Listen to “I’ll never get out of this world alive” from all three hanks. They all recorded their own and intertwined all three generations of hank in one song. First one died with jr was 3 at 29 years old, sr was considered the all time great.
One of the greatest lyrics of all time. "Some high society lady asked me, 'is my horse outside?' I said 'no ma'am, he's between my legs, but you're too fat to ride'"
Born to Boogie, High and Pressurized, All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight and he does a great cover of Lawyers Guns and Money. Those are more up tempo tunes! Check em out!
This is about the only song I still like from him. I use to love him but I changed how I feel about him. His dad and son are amazing but he just went with was popular
You HAVE GOT TO listen to his Dad, Hank Williams, Sr. It is hard for some people to listen to. This was back in the late 40's and 50's. The man died before he was 30. Some people feel he doesn't get enough credit or play. He wrote unbelievable songs and that makes him an Immortal.
OMG I remember those days. Used to go to a place out in the country called the Hilltop. Listen to a band play rock and country. Drink some whiskey and when the band went on a break, we'd go outside and smoke some in the parking lot. Some real good times!!
Dude, I absolutely LOVED your reaction to this old song cuz you really get it! There are plenty of us old "Dinosaurs" that are still out here and not "Cotton" to a lot of the new music coming outta Nashville/ Detroit/ Los Angeles. We just like good ol' rythm and blues n rock n roll. A fantastic reaction, thanks buddy!!
Love this!!!!! Thank you. Not a lot of play on the radio but love it. I'm a dinosaur myself. The oldies on the radio aren't old enough and the country isn't country enough 😏
I love my hank and he wasn't hating he was just saying that shit don't do it for me. He is an original Outlaw Country. Lil young when he started riding with Merle and the gang but because of his daddy he is real Outlaw
Consider that this song came out late 70's to mid 80's. He already saw what direction society was heading!!
Can you narrow it down a Lil bit there
This song, I believe is talking about how much Country Music has changed over the years. George Jones song "who"s going to fill their shoes" talks about this point.

@@edford1693 relatable to today's country as well. I do miss those days too.
Wrong he went into a gay bar is what the song is about.
@@jbrown1971 oh, lol. I heard the gay guitar bit but was thinking of how much he thought music has changed since he said disco too.
@@jbrown1971
Evidently you have not listened closely to the song or looked at the lyrics -
Hey man them ain't high heel sneakers
And they sure don't look like cowboy boots
And that ain't rock and roll you're playin'
And it sure ain't country or rhythm and blues
You're singin' a song about making love to your drummer
Well gay guitar pickers don't turn me on
And we don't all get into Donna Summer
Do you happen to know any old Hank Williams songs
'Cause you see I'm a dinosaur
I should have died out a long time before
Have pity on a dinosaur
Hand me my hat, excuse me man, but where's the door
It used to be, I had a lot of fun in this old hang-out
We'd get stoned at the jukebox and stay out of fights
Now and then, we'd light a little smoke in the truck out back (Aww)
Then a little old Jim Beam and we'd get right
And you know these flashin' lights sure make me dizzy
And this disco's very strange to my ears
It looks like they've turned the Longhorn into a spaceship
And I'll be leavin' just as soon as I finish this beer
'Cause you see I'm a dinosaur
Should have died out a long time before
There's a whole lot of dinosaurs
So give us our hats, excuse me man, but where's the door
Get us our hats, excuse me man, but where's the door
where does it say anything about going into a gay bar?
Hank has been singing for over 50 years and puts on a great show
You don’t know how happy this makes me to see grown ass adults enjoying Hank. He was/is definitely the man to turn to to get whiskey bend and hell bound. Lots of memories to Hank❤️🇺🇸

His truth

For those who don’t know, when Hank Williams Jr. says ‘Do you know any ol’ Hank Williams songs?’ He’s referring to his dad’s songs, not his own
Duh
It's two years later .........you still a goob ?

Weather man by Hank Williams Jr is another good one
Weatherman hits
Weatherman is my favorite Hank Jr song
Hank has so many great songs that aren't even hits. When you bought a Hank Jr. album you got your money's worth back then.
The live version is the best one
I ❤ that song! Well, I'm guilty of breaking everything from a 8-track to a CD (scratched) of Hank Jr!
The best part of this song is when he asks where's the door. A message alot of people today need to hear!!
I have been heard that song and many many years thank you so much for planet I forgot all about it
Blues man , weatherman , o'de in denver and I've been down are hank classics !!
Toby Keith did Tribute to Hank Williams Jr Country Boy Can Survive it's a must-see there's a good story before the song starts you need to hear
You have to listen to
Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound by Hank Jr
Also O.D.’d In Denver by Hank Jr
Thanks for playing this, alot of people won't touch ol Hank Jr's stuff..why, well like you and the other comments below...he didn't give a damn, I'll say what I please. Guess what he still believes this....good for Hank jr.

"Blues man" would be a good song to react to
Perfect song ❤️
I agree.
Yes!
Love that one
I've got rights is another good one
I think that this song is letting you know that just because the world changes, you don't have to change your values to fit the world. I only change what I have to
Hank Williams Blues Man is one of my favorites that he does. Allen Jackson also covered it.
An old George Jones and Dolly Parton do a duet as well
The song is about turning his trusty old juke joint into a disco tech. At the time this came out disco was still big and so many people were hating it and speaking out about it.
Growing up in Oklahoma ridin the backroads drinking cold beer smoke rollin out the windows listenin to Hank Jr...that's how I grew up. And I wouldn't change it for the world!

Proud Bocephus enjoyer from Austria here, he damn well meant those first few lyrics
You definitely got the vibe right for listening to Hank!! It's for relaxing have a beer and a cigar!!
Hank Williams Jr is my idol and hero and has been since I came out of the womb
Don't ever stop stopping the vid and commenting.. That's the reason I watch reaction videos
"Outlaw Women" is another great one to react to.
Ol' Hank giving some love to Rhythm and Blues.
I love your comments I'll be watching more of you in the future!!!
Good one from Hank. He never cared what was popular main stream. He did his music his way and it was always and still is great music. Great reaction
this is what is called country I want to drink in my sorrows music (setting at the bar) or home, or drink and dance slow. .just plain smooth. Love Hanks style and you to Van.

Always loved country state of mind, by Hank, for no particular reason. It is just a nice simple, upbeat, fun song that sounds great!
Was the first Hank Jr song I learned on acoustic when I was like 12! Love Bocephus!

Man of steel and Mr Lincoln are great songs by Hank

My favorite since 1965.
Thanks for doing this song. It’s one of his more low key tubes, but it packs a punch. Keep doing the Lord’s work.
Another huge Thank You for Jr.
Good country music tells a story and makes your body move. Hank Williams you are legend.
County music is both my favorite and least favorite genres of music. A lot of it's trash (especially post-90s radio stuff) but when it's good, it's GOOOOOD.
You should look up Tyler Childers. I think you’d like him.
You simply like country and not the pop that they call country now.

Classics my man, classics. Thanks for running a needle down this one. Takes me back to the day.
Also "Stoned at the Jukebox" was a hit in the early 70s, a song Hank Jr wrote about his own life at the time. Great song to check out.
This is about him revisiting a honky tonk bar he used to frequent and seeing its been turned in to a disco
Loving some hank Williams Jr!!! ❣️❣️❣️
Since you've heard this one ....check out "The American Way" from Hank....
One of the greatest lyrics of all time.
"Some high society lady asked me, 'is my horse outside?'
I said 'no ma'am, he's between my legs, but you're too fat to ride'"
I grew up on this song so I'm definitely showing this to my.kids

Hank speaks the truth hear brother
I was surprised at how many bad ass songs he has. Weather man is pretty damn good.
