Watch Chris Stapleton Sing The English Language’s Most Irritating Words On Kimmel
The great outlaw-country howler Chris Stapleton was the musical guest on last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, but video of his performance hasn’t showed up online yet. What has showed up is video of Stapleton taking part in a truly funny Kimmel bit. Stapleton has one of those voices that could sing just about anything, and the sketch puts that theory to the test. The joke is that Stapleton has a new album called Cringeworthy, in which he sings songs built around the English language’s most irritating words: “foodie,” “vajayjay,” that kind of thing. I got some honest-to-god belly laughs out of this thing, and I don’t often get those from late-night musical-comedy bits. Check it out below.
Stapleton’s excellent album Traveller is out now on Mercury Nashville.
