I'm driving into work with 98.1 the Hawk blaring in my truck, and Big and Rich's new song "Lovin' Lately" is on. I'm thinking to myself the whole time "Man, this song is awesome but it sounds familiar"! I was right, it's a total rip-off of Bruce Hornsby's "Mandolin Rain".

So I went and found Josh Kelly's reboot of the song and started splicing everything together. I mean, come on you guys, Josh Kelley's "Mandolin Rain" and your "Lovin' Lately" are in the same key for Pete's sake! What a rip-off of a tried and true hit! When will our artists actually come up with their own stuff when they've been low on the charts for a while?

Watch the video below. I screen recorded the song with my audio editor open so you can see the cut, clip, and pastes -- it's ridiculous:
