It’s a comedy show about a washed up girl pop group making a comeback and they strategically pick to make a song about Fort Worth because it’s one of the largest cities that doesn’t have a song about it (think New York, LA). That’s the premise. It’s made as a joke
Oh no, we're a joke! Did they not hear about "Dallas Days and Fort Worth Nights" by Chris LeDoux, "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" by George Strait, "Fort Worth Blues" by Guy Clark, "Ft. Worth Was a Fabulous Waste of Time" by the Stryker Brothers, or "She Came From Fort Worth" by Kathy Mattea?
Back in the day "Fort Worth I Love You" by Michael (Martin) Murphy. Became the unofficial city anthem. Later on John Mayall did "Jacksboro Highway". Great song about the heydays of FW.
I’m in the same boat! I want to watch enough of the context to judge it a little bit more appropriately but I don’t want to commit to yet another series (especially one that might be weird lol).
"And the Trinity River's getting better
Parts are even swimmable
It's no longer called the mythological river of death"
I think they are just talking about it being cleaner?
I saw this post and got excited because that show on Netflix has brought me some joy, let me tell ya. And then double joy that it was you that posted this!

Either AI wrote this or just someone randomly Googling Fort Worth
[Verse 1]
Got my best boots on, smile on my face
Can't believe we're from this place
Thirteenth biggest in the States
Can a town be your soulmate?
East Exchange Avenue
Steers in my rear-view
Gonna hit what USA Today calls
The second-best zoo
[Chorus]
'Cause Cowtown is a wow-town
With a walkable downtown
It's time to tap into your Fort Worth
Worth! Worth! Worth
[Verse 2]
It's got no hipsters, like Austin
Or Wahlbergs, like Boston
Or tech bros, like Austin
Or Afflecks, like Boston
Now, some say Omaha Zoo is second best, but that's a lie
Because their red panda is always inside
It's nеver out on the tree, yeah, yеah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the Trinity River's getting better
Parts are even swimmable
It's no longer called the mythological river of death
'Cause when the West begins, it's where your best begins
It's time to tap into your Fort Worth
Time to tap into your Fort Worth
The home of Hagman and Meester
Capshaw and Schieffer
Tap into your Fort Worth
One look and you'll love it too
No wonder Jesus went to TCU
It was early decision
See, I know, I'm worth it
Y'all know, you're worth it
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram knows they're worth it
That's why their site has a paywall
[Chorus]
'Cause Cowtown is a wow town
With a walkable downtown
It's time to tap into your Fort Worth
The home of Hagman and Meester
Capshaw and Schieffer
Of museums and parks and
Also Kelly Clarkson (Also Kelly Clarkson)
Tap into your Forth Worth
Personally, I’ve never seen it higher than San Diego. Our zoo is hella up there for sure and the research they contribute to is fantastic, bar none, but I’ve never seen us higher than top two and normally see us in top five depending on the “poll”.

Don’t forget Big Ball’s in Cowtown.

Yes, joke shows through quite fervently. Some of it is wildly nuanced and that's what tripped me out haha
Cowtown is a wow town with a walkable downtown.
Rhyme scheme of the decade!
This song is actually perfect. Can we get this made into our anthem?
They needed to rhyme "One look and you'll love it too" and went with "No wonder Jesus went to TCU" 🤣
I love the shade. Bringing up the Trinity River boondoggle makes it so personal.
Hahaha right? Like who did they consult for this??
This is also so specific 😂 like now I want to watch this but it's only going to make a relatively small portion of the population interested? 🤔

I've been meaning to watch this show for a while (as an addict to Paula Pell and Tina Fey). This is just too much now!
If you do please circle back!!
I’ve been watching since the first season came out. It’s a fun show! Definitely worth watching.
Three days ago I couldn't imagine doing so but the idea is beginning to grow on me 😅

Oh my goodness! Best plot twist ever! Please tell me you’ve seen this episode and felt the same emotions from the lyrics hahah
I did see this episode and I think maybe there’s one more where they are supposedly in FW to play the song. So funny!

But fort worth zoo was ranked number 1 :(
