Everybody has been so busy working on the BEST submission for the Xtra Styles Contest that they forgot the most important goal: writing the WORST submission.

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/aint-giving-up

I humbly submit that this is it: the worst song submission for the Song Contest, period.

This is all Floyd's fault. This is what happens when I can't get a hold of him and I have to write a song all by myself.

Ain’t Giving Up
By David Snyder

Genre: COUNTRY/HORRIBLE

Voted World's Worst Song--Country Music Fans International

V1

I saw you standing there
With your solo cup
You punched me in the face
Then I threw up
You said I hate to see you dressed that way
You’re a fake cowboy now go away
I said girl come and see my new Dodge truck
You used some kick boxing girl kicked me in the guts
I asked you if I am might try my luck
You pulled out a gun and said hey what’s up
You said hey what’s up

Pre Chorus

And girl it’s plain to see
What I got going on for me

CH

Yeah you might hate my guts
But I ain’t giving up
Cause I write country, yeah I write country
And when we cross that Florida Georgia line
I’ll lay it on the line and make you mine
I might be a fool but I’ll die trying
Until you love me
Until you love me
And you stop hitting me, punching me
Shootin’ me, ah girl

V2

Well I went down onto Music Row
Everybody tellin’ me where to go
Well I’ve already been to a place called Hell
It’s New York City don’t like the smell
Rather sit right here with my moonshine
One of these days gonna make you mine
Like Miley said it’s all about the climb
Even if you’re out of your mind
I can twerk myself and even get nude
But girl I don’t need to get that rude

PreChorus

Some day you’re gonna see
What I got going on for me

CH

Yeah you might hate my guts
But I ain’t giving up
Cause I write country, yeah I write country
And when we cross that Florida Georgia line
I’ll lay it on the line and make you mine
I might be a fool but I’ll die trying
Until you love me
Until you love me
And you stop hitting me, punching me
Shootin’ me, ah girl
Cause I write Country

Sorry David, I locked that spot up long ago. This one might not be good enough for next to last, it's actually kind of good.

Enjoyed my listen.

I was just about to use this style shocked
But this is actually not bad at all, kinda reminds me of Tom Petty, which is a good thing!

You mean Tom Wilbury? From the Travelin' Wilburys??

I don't know who these guys are but they are pretty good.

Funniest thing about this is that Bruce kinda built his whole career on Bob's playbook, then Bob spoofs Bruce, who was only trying to sound like Bob. Kind of like a parallel universe staring back at itself.

Anyway, does anyone think these guys have a shot?
