Could This Country Parody End Up Being a Top 10 Hit?

How fun would it be if a year from now, this guy’s up for a Grammy?

An up-and-comer named Mitchell Ferguson is all over social media after posting a jokey PARODY this week on how to write a hit country song.

He posted a video four days ago, where he plays a four-chord song on guitar, and the lyrics are half-gibberish.  But TikTok LOVED it.  The main line is, “So I drank a beer.”

Then he posted a follow-up video the next day after people convinced him to write actual lyrics.  It’s less than a minute, so now everyone’s waiting for the full version.
