I can only assume he's too drunk or high to be bothered with singing the actual lyrics.

Hm .... I just checked again -- I was right!

While I wouldn't want to listen to it often, I have to stick up for Mr. Denver's rendition. He had a great voice and this is a classic. I, for one, think his version stands the test of time. There. I said it.

this still bites.

this song is beautiful live

Stay out of experimental aircraft, brah.

I'm just grinnin' ear to ear laughing at this, knowing how many times I heard John's version.

Nice to see Toots & the Maytals return to their West Virginia country roots.

Great twist on the folksy one I know.

Better than some bluegrass versions I've heard of Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert's old tune. Yeah, they were the writers of Afternoon Delight, too, from the Starland Vocal Band.

Funny thing is the Blue Ridge mountains are in Virginia, as is most of the Shanendoah river. An interesting inside-the-beltway view of WV that got set in pop-culture stone...

Exactly. Well said.

OMG.....John Denver sayin' Ya Man.....this is what I meant to do!

Not bad.

When will it end... please be soon.

I certainly like this version better than John Denver's...even if I can't help singing along and putting my home state back in.

Not the best song ever, by any stretch, but nostalgia packed in a format I can listen to, thanks!

this song gets me jammin every time I hear it...my 6th graders love it, too!

That being said, not bad. I kinda like John Denver's version, but this one just seems more upbeat - the version that I'd definitely choose for my "long trip" playlist.

groovy.........................................

cool stuff!!!

Huh? Wha happun? Me cornfused! No, no, no...

Certainly is a twist on this old song. Not a fan of the original or this cover though.

I like it, especially with the local lyrics.

I can't imagine any way in which that would be fun for me.

Just because we heard it too much as kids didn't make it a bad song. It's part of the soundtrack of my youth. I love this version. Very fun!

Wouldn't it be great to hear John Denver do Pressure Drop?!
