Okay you guys. I know a Honky Tonk is a small country bar but my question is. Where did the word Honky and Honky Tonk come from. Like what was its inception and why hahaha. HBO, Help a brotha out!! 😆
Idk any origins but in my head... honkey was a bad word and honky tonk was a bar. I never really equated the two. But maybe that's just me and my white niave self.
I won't pretend to know anything. But Stephen King writes it as some kind of equivalent to 'cracker'. Like ... a black person calls white guys 'honky mofas' constantly. Won't pretend he's using it 'right' either
Honky Tonk is a country bar, usually with a wood dance floor & sawdust. Yes, it's a line dance! You could find me down here in Houston at Wild West or Texas Tumbleweed on Fiday & Saturday nights for line dancing, 2-steppin, waltzes, polkas, jitterbugs & shake yo thang dancing. All walkes of life came in & had a blast! Check out Neon Moon by Brooks & Dunn!😊
This was a jam when I was in highschool in 1998, not at the highschool , I was one of 3 white guys on the football team, but popular in rotc , sea scouts, prelim to military , it’s a jam !
Yep, it’s a line dance and a honky tonk is a country bar with a live country band and a wooden dance floor!!!!! This was such a HUGE song when it came out!!!! Brooks & Dunn were just great and Ronnie’s vocals!!!!!!!!!
A lot of people line dance to that but it's actually the Cotton-Eyed Joe doing in a circle with a group a bunch of couples in a circle doing the cotton eyed Joe's what it really is... Or the same thing somewhat of a circle moving around the dance floor doing the Texas two-step
Yep that’s the origins of the phrase. Since the mid 1900s it’s generally used to describe a country dive bar, usually including live music and a dance floor.
Wow! Thank you! Some of my best times were spent at TAMU during my residencies line dancing and two stepping! Total nostalgia! I wish we could go there!
My Maria is also one of my favorites. Recorded by BW (Buckwheat) Stevenson in 1973, Brooks & Dunn did a great cover, but if you are not familiar with BW Stevenson, go listen to the original.
@janebarnett865 I see I am not the only one old enough to remember the original. I always liked it when I was a young girl, and was pleasantly surprised the first time I heard B & D cover.
@@reneeeiier4818 @janebarnett865 I just listened to the original and liked it as well. B&D's version is a lot like the original. I think they did it justice. ✌️&❤️
I usually don’t listen to country, but I have a special place in my heart for 90’s country. This was awesome!! Brought back a lot of great memories. 🖤 Garth Brooks, Reba, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Trisha Yearwood… the list just goes on. 🖤🎧
90's & early 2000's country is the best. Don't forget Faith Hill, Pam Tillis, Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, Dixie Chicks, Travis Tritt, The Judds, Trisha Yearwood, Collin Ray. Oh the memories!! ✌️&❤️
this so takes me back to my "boot scootin - honky tonk days" before I broke my neck & had to give it all up!!!! I am 74 now & my toe was tappin' when I heard this!!!!! Brought a smile to my face!!! Boot scootin is just going out dancing to the Honky-tonk which is a CW bar/club that plays LIVE music!!! !!! boot scootin' is just another word for dancing!!!
@@JenniferLott-i4u YES...BUT IT'S REALLY A DANCE CALLED THE COTTON EYED JOE...WHERE COUPLE WOULD GET IN A CIRCLE AND DANCE HEEL, TOE, DOSEY DOE... IT'S CALLED SQUARE DANCING WHICH WAS THE ONLY DANCING BACK YEARS AGO....BUT IT WAS LOTS OF FUN.. THEY ALSO WORE COSTUMES AND COMPETED AFTER A WHILE...THE LINE DANCE CAME SEVERAL YEARS LATER....😊
@@karenking5357 When I was in high school, we learned Square Dancing in PE. Imagine what me, the skinny guy who was so scared to talk to girls went thru, I would almost have panic attacks. Then I grew up, fell in love with a woman who loved square dancing, and up until the Muscular Dystrophy crippled me, I loved to go to the Honky Tonks to dance and meet women
90s country is the best! Neon moon, She's not the cheatin kind, My Maria, & Brand new man are just a few of my favs by them! I have a whole list of country songs for u! 😁
Brother, I admire how you are exploring many genres of music. I was raised by parents who loved all types of music. That's why with the steady decline of talent and originality in music today, I have a treasure chest of decades of great music. Rock, Motown, blues, country, opera, classic, etc have me entertained with enough music that I don't need anything today. Keep exploring and listening! 👍👍
I can so identify with this. The greatest gift I got from my parents now passed is an appreciation of music of all types and in times of grief or just in the kitchen everyday I keep on loving and learning from music. Food for the soul and country music in particular hits those emotions be it heartbreak or a good story or a good night out on the town boot scooting. CC
It was a blessing to also inherit a love of all varieties of music from my folks, as well! And being a GenXer, I got to attend some of the greatest concerts ever;
When you walked in & this was playing, you knew it was going to be a rocking good time. According to my husband there's nothing like a good pair of cowboy boots for dancing.
100% Japanese blooded dude here, yes this was a line dance hit! Honky-Tonks are a country bar, usually a wooden dance floor for you guessed it, line dancing! This was THE PARTY song when it was blaring all over the country radio! IT was a GREAT time!
I remember seeing an old western movie with an upright piano in a bar...it was a honky tonk bar because it had live music with a piano and sometimes banjos for entertainment. We did exercise line moves to this song by Bill Ray Cyrus in Silver Sneakers class in gym.
Me too. Grew up in NYC & NJ in the 60s & 70s, but always liked country music. I guess I got it from my mom, the daughter of Italian immigrants. who grew up in NYC in the 30s, 40s & 50s.
Another very popular country line dance form the early 90's was "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus. Yes im talking about Miley's father and the artist who was featured on Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road", which was also a popular line dance.
I am from east texas and 66 years old. I was always told that right before ww2 the many sawmills in the area provided housing for the young workers. it was common to have a weekend party for the guys and women would show up, do to the young men booze and music. the music was provided many times by an in house upright piano or guys with guitars and fiddles [ violin]. also in this same time many places played boogie woogie music. all the music was for dancing. the partys were called a honky tonk.
Love Brooks and Dunn. I got to see them in an outdoor concert, third row from the stage on one side. There were many acts that night, including Sugarland and the legend himself Mr. Alan Jackson, but Brooks and Dunn were the final act on stage. Not long after they took the stage, it started to pour. The way the stage was, they could have stayed back and been sheltered from the rain, but they didn't. They addressed us, the audience and acknowledged the rain. "We could easily stand back and bit and be dry, but y'all paid your hard earned money to come out here and see us perform and if we did that, those of you down here, close to the stage wouldn't be able to see us, and we just don't think that's fair. That's not the way we want to perform. We want all of you to be able to enjoy this and see us." At some point towards the end of their performance, their last song or their encore is when it started to Thunder. Thankfully they were able to finish their performance but they were soaking wet by the time they were done. They sound the same live as they do in their videos. If you ever get a chance to see them in concert, I highly recommend. You won't regret it!
I like your outlook on all the different styles of music that you do... I am a 68 year old white baby boomer woman who grew up in a small rural town with parents that liked classic piano and Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton... I grew up loving everything from Motown to Three dog night to CCR The Beatles Huge Elvis Presley fan... My music taste is so widespread and versatile if it makes me tap my fingers on the table or tap my toes on the floor it's good music 🎵🎶 it don't matter who makes it or who is singing it❤
11:34 Dives along the Barbary Coast were first called honky-tonks. The country swing bands of the 30s brought it over to their genre and the places that played Hank the Texas swing groups were called honky-tonks.
Brooks and Dunn are definitely one of the biggest duos in Country, and their style was so eclectic. Ranging from slow to super high energy. Neon Moon, my Maria, if you see her/see him, hard working man are my Favs.
A Honkie Tonk is where Toby Keith found Badonkiedonks! 🔥 Hank Williams senior was the OG of Honkey Tonk music. Hockey Tonk... Banging country bar that always had an awesome house band.
Omg!!!!! THIS WAS MY LIFE... Thank you!!! Country is my Jam!!!!! Honky Tonk is a Bar with Live Music. Yes Boot Scootin Boogie is the Redneck Version of the Cha Cha Slide. Lol You need any country music I got you. Ultimate Happy place message. Carrie Underwood Something in the Water. Good Happy Feel good... Kane Brown, Good As You or Thank God. Important/Deep: Clay Walker, Questions or Hardy Wait in The Truck.
I just love hearing your comments. Man, you are really growing up, asking questions, and seeing so much that life has to offer, both current and in the "good ole days. ". I enjoy watching you young people grow up and seeing life with a new vision. I'm a grandmother, so have a special place in my heart for people your age. My granddaughter is beginning to appreciate my view on life, experiences she is now facing, and how to make good, sound decisions. Congratulations on your new baby !
When this song came out is was a huge deal. So BIG that it was one that ACTUALLY started country line dancing. The dance to it is sooo much fun!! Done that!!!😂
Brooks and Dunn are truly blue collar performers. Before becoming performers, they worked on the pipelines in Alaska. They used to entertain the guys in the work camps up there after work. The other guys kept saying that they needed to go pro. Now if you know those kind of guys (i am one of them) it's easier to get him to give you his classic car then a compliment. So when these types of guys are saying it, you really know you got something. They went and gave it a shot, and became hugely popular. You can respect it when they talk about hard working men, because that's where they came from and they have experienced it first hand.
Brooks and Dunn are phenomonal have a large catalog. This was the opening song at my wedding reception! You cant sit during this, no matter what genre you like!
When I grew up on our Ranch, I used to wear what we called Civil War Boots, liked em better for Riding. Some of the old timers ( I'm one now ) used to eat Prairie Oysters, I won't tell you what those are, we have a Bar in Calgary During the Rodeo ( Calgary Stampede ) that serves the called Bottlescrews Bill..
As far back as 1900 a bar for cowboys was a honky tonk. Many had a Honky (maker of pianos) and prostitutes, Now it just means a bar with dancing. I think what most of us grew up listening to was absolutely dictated by what station as on your radio.Many people NEVER turned the dial. I was curious, There was Motown,Top 40,Country,Gospel ,Classical and a really excellent station run by the University students. You do know that you can get college credit for music history. So carry on,cause your like a freshman an it a loooong way to the Degree!
It just proves we are all the same, we all like music, food, family, God, we all have a fashion style and places we go to spend time winding down from a long week…..humans are more alike than they are different from each other and it’s all beautiful
God bless your uncles. My grandparents had a 40 acre plot of land and 20 of that was a strawberry farm, and the other, woods I could walk through and go sit down by the creek and listen to the breeze through the trees. There’s a certain kind of peace in the country. I’ve come full circle and am living next to a creek again. Peaceful. I wish you that peace, too.
BP, you need to check out Dunn & Brooks huge hit, "Only in America." Not only is it a great song, but a bit patriotic, as well. LOVE your channel, especially since you are branching out to some country icons, etc.
I know you love a good story in a song. Check out 3 Steps by Lynard Skynard. Don’t think you will be disappointed with this Southern Rock classic. Hello from Kentucky. Keep up the good work. Enjoying your journey.
A great band has variety in their music. (Ballads, boot-scootin', fun, heartbreak, etc). On the topic of commonality in culture, Home Free: Everybody Walkin' This Land. Be sure to listen to the important outro.
LOVE this song: AND the VIDEO!!! :) THANKS, BP, for reacting to this one: MADE MY DAY!!! So GLAD you're listening to ALL TYPES of MUSIC: 'cause - I'm THAT TYPE-A GIRL!!! :) HUGS!

I'm glad you are checking out so many groups from different eras and genres. I love so many genres of music and love exploring new sounds. I went into the Air Force at age 17 so was introduced to different cultures, music food etc. Was stationed at Lowry AFB in Denver and Loved Colorado! But then again, I can find something to love about everywhere I went. How about some Kelly Clarkson, John Denver, Jim Croce and Neil Diamond? Keep up the great reactions!
The live concert version of this is FANTASTIC. A must listen as well. Play Something County is another kick ass uptempo BANGER. Would love to see your reaction to it.
Line dancing was everything in the early to mid 90's. There was a whole subgenre of country that was the same tempo, same structure, and easily extended to a 5-minute dance cut. A honky is a white person, like me. A honky tonk is a country bar where there might be a live band, definitely is lots of beer, and back when we could smoke indoors, was full of cigarette smoke.
Bro! I was at the filmin of this video. It was filmed in my hometown Tulsa Don the bar is Tulsa City Limits. It was awesome to get to be part of history and one of the most popular country songs EVER. TCL was one of the best country bars ever in Tulsa. They had a bunch of big names Grace the stage.
