Kid Rock: 'All Summer Long'

The new single from Kid Rock is dumb, lazy and as classy as spending Friday night drinking own brand cider outside your local Tesco's, but it's also strangely impossible to hate. That's a good thing, really, seeing as we're going to be hearing a lot of it this summer.

So, how has Kid Rock fashioned this inescapable summer smash? Well, he's nicked the piano chords from 'Werewolves of London' by cult US rocker Warren Zevon, shoved some fairly ropey lyrics about teen romance/smoking weed/making love by a lake over the top and chucked in a sample from 'Sweet Home Alabama' for good measure. Which bit? You know the bit. No one's pretending this is a masterpiece, or even especially good, but just you try not to bob your head along when the sun comes out.
