I'm looking for the song "Baby, What's Wrong With You?" by this dude who plays a banjo.


TOPICS: Music/Entertainment
KEYWORDS: lookingforasong
Yesterday I worked for an elderly gentleman in Geriatric Home Care. He had his great big TV on, blaring loud. He says it keeps him awake so he won't doze off & die from all the pills he's taking. He had it tuned to a Country Music station, and this guy came on and belted out a great song. He was a chubby man in his forties, and his voice sounded like Old School Country. Like Johnny Cash or Charlie Pride. And he had brass horns, hard drums and a female chorus behind him. And he played a banjo. On top of all that, he danced while he was playing and singing. And he had some decent moves for a fat guy. The song is called "Baby, What's Wrong With You?" It's a storysong about a woman who got so obnoxiously drunk & stupid that she chased her good man away. "This is what you wanted, so now I'm gone." And the song is done in such a lively, cheerful way that you can dance to it. And I can't find it on YouTube anywhere. When I typed in the title, I came up with some dreary piano song. Not it at all. Does anybody out there know the song I'm talking about, and the name of the banjo-playing man who sings it? I want to add that one to my playlist.

I’d be more concerned with the elderly person who thinks they are so overmedicated that if they doze off they’ll die, than some dumb song.

I’m pretty sure this one is the one.

Thematically sort of the opposite of what you’re asking for, but so cool that I have to post it:

Here is a trailer for The Texas Music Scene - it shows Shinyribs with a song called Baby What’s Wrong With You. You never get to hear the song, but there he is, a chubby guy with a banjo. He has lots of songs on YouTube, but not this one. I still think it’s y our guy.
