Toby Keith – As Good As I Once Was

“As Good as I Once Was” Single by Toby Keith from the album Honkytonk University, released May 9, 2005. Songwriters: Toby Keith and Scotty Emerick.

The song was named BMI’s Song of the Year for 2006. It has since become one of Keith’s signature songs, as well as one of his most successful.

The music video was directed by Michael Salomon and premiered on CMT on May 16, 2005. It follows the narrative of the song and features Annie Sorrell and Alicia Loren as the frisky twins. At the beginning of the video, Keith is sat at the bar where he meets Bobbie Jo who invites him “for a rodeo” with her twin sister Betty Lou. Then, in another bar, Keith’s best friend Dave gets into a fight with a “couple of redneck boys”, the beer starts sloshing, causing the music to fail, Keith yells in slow motion before the chorus resumes. As he goes to help Dave, Keith gets punched in the face by a tall bouncer. In the next shot, Keith was in an ambulance with a broken nose, as well as an intravenous drip. At the end of video, the ambulance drives off into the night.

Videoclipul muzical a fost regizat de Michael Salomon și a avut premiera pe 16 Mai 2005. Urmează narațiunea cântecului și îi prezintă pe Annie Sorrell și Alicia Loren ca gemeni.

Ca multe dintre melodiile lui Toby Keith, povestea este într-un bar. El o ia mai ușurel, dar în primul vers este încă în formă pentru un trio când oportunitatea se prezintă (cu ajutorul unei pastile Viagra). Al doilea vers îl găsește stând la bară până când bătaia ajunge la el, și intră la bătaie. Mișcare greșită: așa cum este înfățișat în videoclip, el este făcut knock-out.
