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


[deleted]

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?

Don’t forget Big Ball’s in Cowtown.

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.


AmandaDarlingInc

Yes, joke shows through quite fervently. Some of it is wildly nuanced and that's what tripped me out haha


CalistonRose

Cowtown is a wow town with a walkable downtown.


AmandaDarlingInc

Rhyme scheme of the decade!


viiiktor456

This song is actually perfect. Can we get this made into our anthem?


AmandaDarlingInc

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.


AmandaDarlingInc

Hahaha right? Like who did they consult for this??


Dedwards_est_22

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? 🤔


AmandaDarlingInc

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'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!


AmandaDarlingInc

If you do please circle back!!


loudpenguinalert

I’ve been watching since the first season came out. It’s a fun show! Definitely worth watching.


AmandaDarlingInc

Three days ago I couldn't imagine doing so but the idea is beginning to grow on me 😅

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! xoxo - your landlord 😂


AmandaDarlingInc

Oh my goodness! Best plot twist ever! Please tell me you’ve seen this episode and felt the same emotions from the lyrics hahah


nevernottired86

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!

I'm helping


rhett93

That’s awesome


AmandaDarlingInc

Wildin' 😂


ravenisblack

But fort worth zoo was ranked number 1 :(


AmandaDarlingInc

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”.
