WALKER HAYES

Friday afternoon, the SEC gave some love to a new tune called "Y'all Life," by Walker Hayes. He's the guy who brought you the "Fancy Like" song last year that ended up as an Applebee's ad. The SEC rolled out the song to its followers on Friday afternoon, saying it "just might be the song of football season right here" and asking Hayes, "wanna collab[orate]"? And there's nothing wrong with liking "Y'all Life," even if it sounds like its catchiness was bred in a laboratory. But when you're talking about the South, the home of country music, you've got to bring a little more game to the picnic than this.
