Yep and the side kick with funny name ... Tonto

"Kitty's Place" is a reference to the TV show Gunsmoke. Miss Kitty ran the saloon. "Sidekick with a funny name" is a reference to Tonto from The Lone Ranger.

God this song is so nostalgic. This is one of those songs where if it was in a "try not to sing" challenge I would lose in a hot second. I love singing along to this song.

4:43 she didn't change teams xp she was getting robbed and he came to her rescue

rip toby keith you will be missed

A quick note. Sending prayers to Toby Keith as he was diagnosed with stomach cancer last fall and has undergone treatment and chemo. He's had to cancel his concerts for the rest of this year. Praying he'll return healthy and strong to entertain us with more songs.

Hey Billy. Gene Autrey and Roy Rogers were screen cowboys who both also had TV shows. Roy was "The king of the Cowboys". Both Roy and Gene were singing cowboys who had recording careers as well and sang in their movies and TV series. They both had a series of sidekicks with names like Frog, Jingles, Windy etc. That's what Toby was referring to with the funny named sidekicks. They both had famous horses as well Gene rode a horse named Champion or Champ. Roy's horse was Trigger and his German Shepard dog was Bullet. Roy's wife Dale Evans was an actress who did a number of movies of all kinds. She did a few with Roy and was a regular cast member on the TV show. Her horse was Buttermilk. Oh and for several years Gene Autrey was the owner of the Los Angeles Angels baseball team. Gene also had big holiday hits with his recordings of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Santa Claus is coming to town and Here comes Santa Claus which he wrote.

I'm not old enough to watch the original, but I watch it on the retro channel here (MeTV 10.3). It comes on before Bonanza and after The Walton's.

Came out in 1993. I was 3. I remember growing up my mom listening to this. Still one of my favorites.

This song is Toby Keith's first hit. This song came out in 1993.

Shouldve Been A Cowboy was recorded in 1992 and released in 1993 Billy, Toby's been around since I was 2.

Love this song! Making me feel my age - came out when I was in high school 😂

Roy Rogers known as King of the Cowboys and Gene Autry l the Singing Cowboy. Two of my childhood heroes

It's a good one

This was before Toby switched studios. His sauciness came out after that. Lol

"Should've Been a Cowboy" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Toby Keith. It was released on February 8, 1993 as his debut single and the first from his self-titled debut album.

One of my fave country artist! Great song

Roy Rodgers really wow I never thought I would see the day someone said they didnt know who that was

''Why does this sound like its off a 70's or 80's tv show?'' The entire first verse was based off the T.V show ''Gun Smoke'' that aired between 1955-1975. You nailed the whole scheme of the song in the first 10 seconds without even knowing it.

I love that you’re doing this!! ❤️❤️❤️ sending love from Alabama. Roll Tide y’all

It is truly entertaining watching you react to videos that came out when I was a kid or teenager. Just so you know, this was Toby Keith's first number one single. It was recorded in 1992 and released in 1993. I was 6 years old when this came out. I have a good memory of when I was younger and I remember watching this video on tv. And I grew up on Southern Gospel and Country music since Im a Southern born Southern bred Southern bonidide belle from Alabama. I enjoyed other genre of music and I am a singer and musician and took ballet, jazz and tap classes and was also in theater. But my greatest passion was music and I think 90's country sounded the best. There is some good country music out there today. But back then we had legendary artists like Reba McEntire, Brooks and Dunn, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, George Straight, Clint Black, Tim McGraw in his prime, and some of my family is in the music buisness. And my cousin happens to be good friends wirh legendary country music singer Hank Williams Jr. They live nearby one another. They hang out often and play music or go golfing. Hank is a good ol laid back country boy and friend of my familys. I have other famous kin. Not only was my grandfatherand great grandmother singers and musicians and song writers and long after they have passed on are still getting royalities for their music. But I am also kin to the late actor James Stewart. He was in ALOT of movies. You know him best from movies like The Shop Around The Corner and Its A Wonderful Life. Im also kin to Emily Dickenson. I truly have an extraordinary family. Just so you know, Toby Keith, Travis Tritt and Shania Twain toured together as well back then. You can tell by Tobys hair style in this music video and the mullet he is rocking that it was early 90's. Even the eldest boy in Home Improvement the tv show had a mullet and so did some boys back then. Ellen DeGenerous had a mullet too. LOL! My dad had a rat tail pony tail and he still has it! Billy Ray Cyrus was rocking out his 90's hairstyle in his achey breaky heart music video. That was very popular back in the day. However now its just hilarious to watch. LOL! His daughter Miley Cyrus always got super embaressed about her dads mullets and rat tail hair. LOL! I was born in the 80's. So long big hair was on alot of both men and women. And it followed people and their kids into the early 90's. LOL! My hair was always very long all the way down to either my hips or thighs. And it was beautiful thick and curly. I got alot of compliments for it. Soketimes I cut it a little short a little past midway of my back. And my mother owned a salon and she often did my hair for me. I looked like an extra for one of those 80's teens movies like Teen Witch with the big puffy curly long rock star hair. LOL! Also look up Geme Autry and Roy Rogers. They were famous cowboys in westerns.

I've been waiting for you to react to this for a long time

I grew up on this type of music, glad you're enjoying all of these country songs!

I’m a Ft. Worth Texan and if you’re ever down this way please visit the stockyards. Longhorn cattle, Mule barn and a real steakhouse Cattleman’s. There’s so much western influence and a great city. Love your pod cast especially the Shania episode. 🌵

Gene Autry and Roy Rodgers. Old time tv/movie cowboys

Stick that in your country song (live at 2020 ACM awards) by Eric Church. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen

She did trade sides, he rescued her

Gene Autry and Roy Rogers were the first singing cowboys. Gene Autry theme song was Back in the Saddle Again and Roy Rogers was Happy Trails.

So great to see you back!

Roy Rogers is a legend. He had a horse named Trigger and a German shepherd named Bullet. Right now Iive a couple miles from his former house in Apple valley, CA. Google him.

1993 … during the “Mullet” era 😂😂 & Cowboys/ Westerns back in 50’s / 60’s are the names you mentioned

When I was a little girl my Grandpa took me to see Roy Rodgers. My Grandpa pointed out that I was the prettiest girl ever and I deserved a kiss. Yep I got kissed by Roy Roger's! I'm 68 years old and I still cherish that day. D

Gene Autry sang the original recording of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Billy I am glad your back to doing the videos this way. Thank you.

I believe that this was his first hit so, early '90s..

You are the man Billy

This totally reminds me of my high school years. I grew up in a cowboy small town. I listened to rock, but it played everywhere so it's totally memory inducing.

The video was filmed in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Great song choice by the way

Great song, I grew up in the city, moved to a small town about an hour away from city, I love it and live this song...I should a bin a cowgirl lol

Gene and Roy they we’re all that back in the day 👍👉

Bout time you did this one. Love it

Gene autry used to own the california angels and roy rogers used to have a tv show with his wife dale evans and his horse trigger.

Gene and Roy played in gunsmoke and many other old westerns, Jesse James is another cowboy, and the Texas rangers is another western, the song is about old westerns influence

Rest to Beer for my horses featuring Willie Nelson

Great 🎵

This was his first single!

This was his first no 1 if I'm not mistaken.

Yes this is his first hit song one of the best I think yes keep it up man loving this👌🎶💞

I believe this was one of his first hits in the early 90s. So this song is old! Its timeless

This song was released in '93. If I'm not mistaking it was one of his first albums.

Roy Rogers, is a cowboy that rode his horse Trigger.

#BillyYSC This video was released on February 12, 1993 as his debut single and the first from his self-titled debut album. On June 5, 1993, the song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs and the Canadian RPM Country Tracks charts. It also peaked at number 93 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it a minor crossover hit.

Roy and Gene were "singing cowboys"...Gene actually introduced Rudolph, the Red Nose Reindeer. But to me, Roy was the absolute best singing cowboy. He was also one of the original Sons of the Pioneers.

Gene Autry sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

UNDIVIDED by Tim McGraw!!! Love the channel!!!

Back when this came out. It was the best dancing song.

This was his first big hit

Bills Mafia to the Super Bowl!!!!!

I looked up the song and it came out in 1992, it's as old as I am lol. Also I checked out the line about Gene and Roy and found this info "The chorus refers to famous singing cowboys Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, and lists common patterns depicted in Westerns such as six-shooters (revolvers) and cattle drives."

Great song! I thought his first song was “Who’s That Man Running My Life”? I’m not sure. Missed you Billy!

Thats why they called it the Wild West lol

Billy, this is Toby’s first single, way back in 1993.

Fun fact Billy. He owns a restaurant in okc OK called Toby Keith’s!

Gene Rogers sings Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer and many other Christmas songs as well

Hey that’s crazy I was jus lookin for someone that reacted to this song and my favorite one just did it

Great song choice.

Hey I had to ask my mom who Gene was, Gene Autry. Wild West cowboys. I knew who Roy was. I was in 9th grade when this song came out.

Back when mullets ruled music lol

This was Toby’s first single.

Should've been a Cowboy Was Released in the year of 93 I believe Possibly between 93-97

Thanks had not heard those was gonna answer about singing cowboys mentioned but I see people beat me to it lol

I grew up on a farm my whole life riding horses herding cattle and this song takes me back. It was hard work 7 days a week but I wouldn't of traded it for anything.

Missed ya Billy. Been a minute.

This song was out in 93

Gun smoke was the tv show

This was early Toby Keith. I couldn't believe it was the same person when Who's Your Daddy? came out. (Thanks to this channel, I now know there were some songs where the music videos bridged the gap.)

This was his 1st single & 1st video

most western gunfights did not happen the way they show in the movies, they didn't meet in the street at noon. The only 1 time that I know of that this happened involved wild bill Hickok and it was at a distance of 75 yards with cap and ball revolvers, the other guy fired first but missed Hickok took just an extra moment to aim and hit the guy in the chest 75 yards with a cap and ball !!!

Love your reaction. If you ever come to Alabama my husband will teach you how to be Country.

Song came out in 93

famous movie cowboys from the 30's 40's etc

He saved the lady. The other man had a gun pointed at her.

You are forgiven for not knowing. They were top names in old westerns.

Your reactions always brighten my day! Stay safe and healthy Billy! :D P.s. recommending a BYSE song Three Wooden Crosses by Randy Travis ♡ definitely a tear jerker
