Blake Shelton – Some Beach

“Some Beach” – Single by Blake Shelton from the album Blake Shelton’s Barn & Grill. Released July 26, 2004.

If you say the quasi-swear “son of a bitch” quickly and slur it a little, it comes out as the G-rated “Some Beach.”

The song was written by Rory Feek and Paul Overstreet, and it was an unexpected hit for Shelton, going to #1 on the Country chart. It was released in July 2004 as the second single from Shelton’s 2004 album Blake Shelton’s Barn & Grill. The song became Shelton’s third number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and spent four weeks at that position.

The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil, and features Shelton driving a pickup truck down a freeway, trying to park the truck, and going to the dentist.

The video features NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler.

The song opens with Shelton cruising down the interstate and singing Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville.” Buffett is known for his breezy repertoire about laid-back life in the tropics, which is the ideal locale for Shelton when everyday life gets him down. In 2015, Shelton included the 1977 hit on his list of favorite summer anthems for Amazon Music.
