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!! 😆

brooks and dunn "neon moon" has to be on the list next

Every time I hear this song I then have to go listen to Tracy Byrd's - Watermelon Crawl

Honky Tonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins

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!!!!!!!!!

My Maria from Brooks and Dunn is my favorite

"Honky-tonk" comes from the sound the old bar/ saloon pianos used to make. They were said to go "honka-tonk".

Brooks and Dunn is a rabbit hole you should definitely explore! The most successful duo in the history of country music!

Honky Tonk is a country bar with dance floor and live music. Gotta have boots on to go Boot Scootin'

Brooks and Dunn are very much alive and still touring. Just an FYI.

My favorite Brooks & Dunns' song is My Maria. ✌️&❤️

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. 🖤🎧

Both still alive and boot scootin. Still doing concerts together.

A rough and rowdy bar for working folk to blow off steam.

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.

I’m a New Yorker and always loved country music, even in the 70’s. My friends not so much, but I did.

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! 😁

I'm so glad you are continuing to check out Brooks & Dunn! 😊

the mans got 1 hell of a voice

There’s nothing better than going to a rodeo during the July 4th holiday, watching the fireworks, and then going to the dance afterward. 🐴 🤠

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!😊

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.

There’s a line dance that goes with this song.

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!!!

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! 👍👍

Yes!! Neon moon next?

Give Montgomery Gentry "Something to be Proud of" a listen.

Brand New Man was their first hit. One of my many favorites of theirs.

"Neon Moon" - "Brand New Man" - "My Maria" are all great songs from their massive string of hits! 🤠 Ronnie Dunns vocals are impressive!

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.

My Maria, an d Neon Moon are other great songs by these guys.

Brooks and Dunn kicked off their “Reboot 2024” in January!!

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!!!😂

Neon Moon is fire!!

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!

“PLAY SOMETHIN’ COUNTRY!” Is 🔥

The remix to this song is fun too. And Maria is another hit.

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.

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

🎶 "Country fried, baptized in gravy, Can't wash off what The Good Lord made me. No matter how far that highway goes, An old dirt road'll getcha home..." 🎶 -Bubba Sparx ft Colt Ford & Danny Boone

Everytime I hear this song, I want to throw on my black felt cowboy had and black suede, pointed toe cowboy boots and dance! I can't tell you how many times I've been busted early in the morning, in my socks, on that old wooden floor (our house was built in 1920), putting the coffee on, and dancing to this!

They were so popular, won so many awards they'd be like "Brooks & Dunn...again." hahaha

This dance is very close to the electric slide.

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.

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.

Still an absolute staple in so many Honky Tonks around the world for line dancin 😀

Thank you for more Country and the Magic of B&D!

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.

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 !

Always loved this song. Honky Tonk is a country bar❤️❤️❤️

The term honky-tonk has been used since the 1800s in Oklahoma and Texas. Originally referring to variety shows in saloons.

The video was filmed at a nightclub called Tulsa City Limits

This song is fire 🔥 During the 90s I went through a major country music binge. This music was rocking. Peace out ✌️ ☮️

Fun song, great energy. Huge, huge hit. ❤

This song brought line dancing back.

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❤

I worked as head of security in a dance club. This song was played all the time and the dancers did the "shadish", pronounced that way but spelled differently. Schottistche. All of the best and hottest dancers hit the floor for this one. The wannabes just moved off the floor to watch. If you never react to this please watch it for yourself. Look up Mark Kroos playing "Dueling Banjos".

Saw the live in Charlotte NC with a lady deeply loving Country music. What a concert they gave

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.

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.

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.

oh my goodness... I would love to see them again in concert.. I haven't seen them in about 6 or 7 years.. they are just fun.

Best 2 stepping song ever, and a great duo with a deep well to dive into.

My mom actually danced competition with her dance crew to this song. This always reminds me of her. 😁

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 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 !

Neon Moon :)

90s country was the ish. Most of the modern icons started there; Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Brooks & Dunn, and many others. This is a rabbit hole of fun. Now you're ready for The Mavericks. And IIRC gangster boogie came from Parliament Funkadelic.

Heal toe , do si do . It’s like the electric slide , you got it ! A honky Tonk. Is a bar that plays music and has a dance floor

A Honkey Tonk is a nightclub & originated from the time of Hank Williams Sr. And the older singers when it was called Country and Western music 🎶 🎶 🎶 Yes there is a line dance for this song.

Your next assignment, Neon Moon from these guys

Love their song "Red Dirt Road" Both are still alive and going strong!

My favorite Brooks And Dunn song is Ain't Nothin About You.

Their song “She Used To Be Mine” is probably my fav song of theirs. They have some great hits that’s for sure. Much love❤️

BELIEVE by them will bring the tears.

Honkey Tonk is a country bar with a dance floor with live music. Most people wear cowboy boots! Everyone just lets loose and has fun! Should be more of them so people can forget the stress of the week and just has fun which we all need these days!

Neon moon, and an absolute must, Play something country, your gonna flip

Back in 2010 or 11... Around there, Brooks and Dunn announced they would be breaking up and they went on their "final tour." I was at the last show of that tour and it was so emotional. Now... I believe They are together again and making more music!

Suragrland covering Brooks and Dunn red dirt road. Jennifer Nettles voice is amazing.

This is on my playlist ❤

Just finished watching. I was a senior in HS when this song came out. So much fun. Thanks for reminding me of that. Small correction: both Brooks & Dunn are still alive. The commenter may have been referring to another great duo from 90s, Montgomery Gentry. Troy Gentry passed, in a plane crash (IIRC) a few years ago. They were wild boys back in the day. I'm in Jacksonville, FL & we had a bar where there was live bull riding. It was aptly named 8 Seconds. The boys showed up one night. Pretty crazy..js

I remember this song coming out and then came the line dancing!

Next, their cover of My Maria (original by BW Stevens, if memory serves).

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!

Hillybilly Deluxe, Play Something Country, so many great songs by Brooks & Dunn

This song put them on the map. It was a huge hit. A honky tonk is a Country Dance Bar with alcohol everywhere and music like this playing by the band.

There's a line dance for this song. This one put them on the billboard. They have great albums.

It was a huge line dance back in the day, you should listen to "play something country" even if its not on the channel

Seeing Randy Travis in the background made me remember his most beautiful song. Three Wooden Crosses.

Lived in TX for about 40 years and yes, they did do a line dance to this song but boot scootin boogie is basically a kicker dance, county and western dancing. A honkey tonk and a dimly lit bar with a big dance floor where you dance a two step or polka around and around. Tons of fun and great exercise

Hey man Ronnie Dunn, the lead singer has a great voice you really need to listen to the song called "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE MY HEART" this is a true country song and Brooks and Dunn, absolutely kill it dude!!

This is a standard in Oklahoma. It was played at all the school dances. Ronnie is one of our favorite sons.

I love Brooks and Dunn!! They have a ton of great songs! This was very popular at country bars dance floors!!

Saw them second headline with Kid rock closing at an outdoor festival. What a show. Honky tonk is a country and western bar. I vote for neon moon also.

Just watched for the first time... I love your honesty! "What is a honky tonk"? 😂 CLASSIC!!!

If you are looking for some more great country with awesome harmonies and good messaging, try Diamond Rio! I Believe would be a good start from a faith perspective and Meet In The Middle would be a great feel good song and their first hit!

Brooks and Dunn are awesome! Love this song so much. Love your reaction! ♥

Threw darts in a bar league when this song came out, way back in my youth. I am a red headed chick - so this became "my song". Whatever bar we were competing at, my teammates would go feed the juke box, play this song, and buy me a shot of Hot Damn before we started throwing. Great memories.

5:27 "Is Boot Scootin Boogie A Line Dance?" You're correct, Pegasus. There's a line dance that's named for this song, and it's called "The Boot Scoot"
