LUKE COMBS - FAST CAR
A pop song review
Todd: At last, it is time. [image of a big question mark] I have finally decided to tackle the great, unanswered question of pop music. Is "Fast Car" a good song?
Clip of Tracy Chapman - "Fast Car"
Tracy Chapman: You got a fast car
Todd (VO): See, this is the power of being a professional influencer and tastemaker such as myself. I could make or break a song with a simple thumbs up or down. And I promise you that I take that responsibility very seriously.
Todd: I have weighed every note and every lyric thoughtfully and carefully.
Todd (VO): And I think I'm ready to deliver my final verdict. [single cover of "Fast Car" as a drumroll plays] "Fast Car" is... good. [text "GOOD" appears onscreen as a fanfare plays] There, see. Now you know. Cause I just told you.
Clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"
Tracy: I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Now I know some of you are saying: "What? I mean, I'm glad to know that 'Fast Car' is good, but..."
Todd: "...Isn't that song from, like, the '80s?"
Todd (VO): "Aren't your pop song reviews usually of new songs? I count on you to keep me up with what's going on in moodern pop".
Todd: Uhh, ok. Here's what's going on in modern pop: Pft! I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine.
Clip of David Guetta, Anne-Marie & Coi Leray - "Baby Don't Hurt Me"
Todd (VO): This has been, so far, an astonishing down year in pop music. I have no idea what's going on. Those big, ubiquitous, huge songs making waves that I like to cover, I haven't seen a one. [clip of Morgan Wallen - "Last Night"] The biggest name right now is Morgan Wallen, who's bizzarely trying to be a superstar while lying as low as humanly possible so that he doesn't step in it again. [clip of Ed Sheeran - "Eyes Closed"] And then new projects from Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Drake, even newer names like Jack Harlow have all kinda landed with wet flops.
Clip of Post Malone - "Chemical"
I mean, they're there, but no one really has any thoughts about them. In the past, when I've covered down years for pop, it was because [clip of Future - "Mask Off"] harder hip hop took its spot. [screenshot of Vibe article "No Hip-Hop Songs Or Albums Have Charted No. 1 In 2023"] But it's also been one of mainstream hip hop's worst years ever. [clip of Gunna - "alright"] I literally can't remember mainstream hip hop having a down commercial year in my lifetime!
Todd: Ok, so then if the big names aren't hitting, then [clip of people doing an acapella stitch on TikTok] we must be getting a lot of weird TikTok hits filling in the gaps, right? Not really.
Clip of someone dancing to "Under the Influence" on TikTok
Todd (VO): Like, there are a bunch of TikTok hits, but they're all a bunch of old deep cuts from established artists. [montage clips of "Under the Influence" by...] Like, here's what TikTok's delivered: a Chris Brown song from 2018, [..."Die For You" by...] a The Weeknd song from 2016, [..."Sure Thing" by...] a Miguel song from 2012, [...and the dance scene from Wednesday set to "Bloody Mary" by...] a Gaga song from 2011. All big radio hits this year. I don't know.
Todd: What seems to be happening is that no one wants new music anymore. Old music is kicking new music's ass.
Clip of Taylor Swift announcing Speak Now (Taylor's Version) at The Eras Tour
Todd (VO): One of the most anticipated records of the year is Taylor Swift continuing to George Lucas her way through her back catalogue. [fan-made single cover for Taylor Swift's "Cruel Summer"] And she also has an older deep cut fan-favorite climbing up the charts right now. [clip of Taylor Swift - "All Too Well: The Short Film"] The second time she's done this in two years.
Todd: And so we make it to right now, where after Morgan Wallen, the [screenshot of Billboard article "Tracy Chapman Tops Billboard Chart for the First Time since 2000, Driven by Luke Combs' 'Fast Car'"] biggest song is "Fast Car". How did we get here?
Clip of Tracy Chapman live performance
Todd (VO): Ok, so let's rewind a few decades.
Tracy: Sorry
This is the folk singer Tracy Chapman, who... I guess you could make the case that she was, like, Adele in the late '80s. Like Adele, she made the kind of safe, tasteful, traditional music that the critics at the time ate up [clip of Tracy accepting a Grammy award] and she won a good amount of awards. You can criticize her on those grounds, but also her songs were just obviously amazing. And if they don't pull at your heartstrings, what are you? A fuckin' serial killer or something?
Clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"
Tracy: You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
Todd (VO): The biggest and most beloved of her singles was "Fast Car". A yearning folk song about a couple trying to escape poverty and an unhappy childhood together. It was a top 10 hit in 1988, and continually a very beloved song ever since. It might be the most universally beloved song of my lifetime actually.
Todd: Fast forward to 2023, when "Fast Car" is again suddenly near the top of the charts, but this time as a cover song. Which is actually kind of a rarity in the 2020s on the charts.
Clip of Luke Combs - "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): This one comes from country star Luke Combs. And I swear to fucking God I am not trying to make this an "all country music, all the time" channel, [screenshot of headline "Country Hits at Nos. 1 & 2 on Hot 100 for First Time in 42 Years"] it's just what's happening right now. Like I said, weird year. Luke is one of the biggest country stars alive, but I think this is his first time he's had any sort of crossover outside of country.
Todd: My feelings on Luke Combs are... [sighs] I don't know, I've always been kinda resistant to him.
Clip of Luke Combs - "Beer Never Broke My Heart"
Todd (VO): I was trying to get back into country music a few years ago when he was the new hot thing, everyone was recommending him. And I listened, and I wasn't really impressed.
Todd: It seemed like he was being praised mostly for not being a...
Clip of Florida Georgia Line ft. Nelly - "Cruise (Remix)"
Todd (VO): ...jeans model who rapped about dirt roads. But [back to "Beer Never Broke My Heart"; Todd sighs] I don't know, I didn't think he was as authentic as he was hyped up to be and the songs weren't there.
Todd: But, you know, I kept listening, and eventually he did win me over.
Clip of Luke Combs - "Doin' This"
Luke Combs: I'd have a Friday night crowd
In the palm of my hand
Todd (VO): The song that really turned me around on him was "Doin' This". Which is about how if he weren't making music for a living, he'd be making music for not a living cause he loves it so much. And I don't know, that really hit me. Like, have you noticed there aren't a lot of songs about loving songs anymore?
Luke: I'd still be doin' this if I wasn't doin' this
I don't know, it just feels like there's no one selling the idea of loving music as well as he does these days. And so I guess it fits that he's the one who brought back an old song to the top of the charts.
Todd: So you know what, let's hear it.
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Luke: You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
And maybe we'll make something
Todd: Yup, that's uh... That's a cover of "Fast Car" alright.
Todd (VO): You wouldn't think there'd be that much to say about it. But believe it or not, I have heard...
Todd: ...more chatter about this cover version...
Todd (VO): ...than almost anything this year. In fact, I would almost call it controversial. And you might be asking: "What on Earth could be controversial about this?" Well...
Todd: Mostly, it's about what he does with the song. Which is nothing.
Luke: I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
Todd (VO): It is as straight a cover of a song that's ever existed. Like, there's a guy with a Southern accent singing it now and the production is a tiny bit more polished. Backbeat's a little louder, there's a tiny bit of pedal steel guitar at the beginning. [clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"] But otherwise yeah, I'm pretty sure every note, every vocal inflection is identical to the original.
Tracy: You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Luke: You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"
I was surprised that they even adjusted the key, it's basically exactly the same. [clip of Luke's "Fast Car"] And so because of that, I've seen two competing takes on it. The first being: [text appears that says "1. Yay"...] "I was skeptical, but actually this kinda slaps." [...and "2. Why"] And the other being: "This is pointless and has no reason to exist, why is this song everywhere?"
Todd: My take on it is...
Todd (VO): You know, I'm never gonna complain about a good singer singing a good song. So I'm like "Sure, yeah, why not."
Todd: But as to whether it has a "reason to exist". [beat] Uh, I don't know.
Todd (VO): That's a decent question, does it? Does it deserve to be here? Does it deserve to be a bigger success than the original? Does this contribute anythig to the world, because it's not, like, a new take on it.
Todd: Why, of all things did this take off?
Clip of Grady Smith's interview with Luke Combs
Todd (VO): Ok, one of my colleagues, Grady Smith, who runs a good channel, check him out. He did an interview with Luke Combs. And Luke says he threw the song on the record at kinda the last minute and he's as surprised as anyone that it blew up.
Grady Smith: Are you flabbergasted at the response streaming-wise to "Fast Car"?
Luke: Oh definitely, yeah. I mean, I was not expecting it. What are the people gonna like, right? What do I think is gonna be everyone's favorite song? And I'm always wrong.
Todd: And it sounds like his manager was actively against him putting it on the record.
Luke: I remember Jonathan tried to talk me into not cutting it. Cause he's like, "What's the point of cutting this? Like, just, why would you put it on there?"
Todd (VO): But as to why he did it, he explains here:
Luke: My dad, my dad's a huge music guy. Um, he listens to literally anything and has for a long, long time. But I remember him just playing it in the truck, he had the cassette tape of it. It was like, I knew it was a hit song before I even knew what a hit song was.
Clip of Luke talking about the song at a concert
He's also repeated this story in concert, and... Pft! I love that Combs...
Todd: ...feels like he needs to preface this.
Todd (VO): [sarcastically] Like, how could a country singer know "Fast Car"? Well, from my dad, he listens to, like, everything. [normally] Yeah, I know "Fast Car" from my dad too. And he didn't listen to anything.
Todd: He listened to nothing but country music, and he had three modern rock records. [album covers for Cracked Rear View by...] Hootie, R.E.M.'s Out Of Time, and Tracy Chapman self-titled.
Clip of Tracy Chapman live performance
Tracy: Talking about a revolution
Todd (VO): My dad, who is, like, a conservative military guy, was listening to a protest singer with songs about poverty and oppression, and lyrics like this:
Tracy: Why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
And he still listened to it, cause he was living in America in 1988 and everyone had that goddamn album, it was very popular.
Todd: And it's not like "Fast Car" has faded through the years either. [screenshot of Rolling Stone article "'Fast Car': The Rebirth of Tracy Chapman's Hard-Luck Anthem"] It was still as big as it ever was when Combs covered it. Like, I don't know what his manager meant when he didn't see the "point" of covering it, but if I had to guess...
Clip of Khalid singing "Fast Car" in the BBC Live Lounge
Todd (VO): I'd say it's because we don't need any more covers of "Fast Car".
Todd: Cause do you realize how many covers of "Fast Car" we have already?
Clip of Sam Smith singing "Fast Car" in the BBC Live Lounge
Sam Smith: I-I had a feeling that I
Todd (VO): It's a lot. If you've picked up an acoustic guitar more than twice in your life, you have played this song.
Clip of Justin Bieber singing "Fast Car"
Justin Bieber: Fast car, I got a ticket
Todd: There was even an...
Clip of Jonas Blue and Dakota performing "Fast Car" at the 2017 Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball
Todd (VO): ...EDM cover of it on the radio a few years back, you remember that?
Dakota: I-I had a feeling that I belonged
That was a thing, I swear.
Todd: But of course, Luke Combs does change it by being him. Which leaves us the question: Is Luke Combs stealing "Fast Car"? Grand Theft Auto: Stolen Fast Car.
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): Like yes, Luke Combs is putting money in Tracy's pockets right now, so she's probably not complaining. And it's a folk song, folk songs are meant to be covered, [scrolling through list of "Fast Car" covers] there are a zillion covers already. But, Luke Combs is the first one to actually out-chart the original. So the question is, like, is this going to erase the original in people's minds? And is that okay? Especially since, and I'm sorry for going there, but Luke Combs is a white man covering a black lesbian protest singer. Repackaging her song for the kind of people who listen to mainstream country music.
Todd: That could hit some people wrong.
Clip of an Elvis Presley performance
Todd (VO): Especially with the long history of white people exploiting black music.
Todd: And yes, I have seen takes like that about "Fast Car". But honestly, not really that many. In fact, let's pump the brakes on that right now.
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): For one, let's not say that Luke Combs' version has "overtaken" the original quite yet. It's charted higher, but charting at number 2 now [clip of Tracy Chapman live performance] means six billion times less than charting at number 6 in 1988, when people actually bought music. But also...
Todd: If you're worried about white people taking over "Fast Car"... [sighs] I'm sorry, the ship sailed on that one a long time ago.
Clip of Tracy on MTV News in 1988
Todd (VO): You can go back and read Tracy Chapman's earliest interviews, and all the interviewers are like...
Todd: "So, a lotta yuppies listen to your music, huh?"
Clip of...
Todd (VO): A lot of rich white people fuckin' love you. Weird, right? [clip of Public Enemy - "Fight The Power"] Meanwhile, no less an authority on black America than Chuck D said, quote: [screenshot of an article with the quote highlighted...] "Black people cannot feel Tracy Chapman". [clip of Tracy Chapman live performance] So yeah, it came up. And Tracy was certainly aware of it, surprised by it, confused by it. Perhaps even a tiny bit annoyed by it. But you know, it was what it was.
Todd: So no, I don't think Luke Combs is, like, gentrifying "Fast Car" or anything, that song belongs to everyone. Including black people, I think Chuck D is wrong about that.
Clip of Tracy Chapman acoustic performance
Todd (VO): Now as for the lesbian-ness of "Fast Car"...
Todd: Uh, that charge might hit a little harder.
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): Like I said, this is a very straight cover. And I mean straight as in straight. And that might be something of a loss. [live clip of...] Tracy Chapman is a lesbian.
Todd: But you know, I keep saying lesbian. I actually don't know where specifically on the rainbow Tracy Chapman lands. She's very private about that kinda thing, she's never confirmed her sexuality. [screenshot of article "Alice Walker Confesses Tracy Chapman Affair to Someone Other Than Oprah"] Women she's been with have confirmed it for her though. I don't like speculating on artist's private lives, but that one feels safe.
Screenshot of article "How Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' Became A Lesbian Anthem"
Todd (VO): And "Fast Car" specifically has been, like... the lesbian national anthem for a long time. [clip of live performance from...] Like yes, Tracy never uses any gendered pronouns in there, so who knows who she's singing to. But a whole, whole lot of women who love women will tell you that this is clearly about two women. And...
Todd: Ok, um... [buries head in hands] At the risk of getting flambéed alive... Uh, I'm not actually so sure about that.
Clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): I look at these lyrics, I think there's a stronger case that she's singing to a man. Mostly it's this one bar right here:
Tracy: You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
I mean, separate friend groups, they have kids, not an easy thing for a gay couple in 1988.
Todd: I mean, I guess it's not impossible for that to be a woman. But for me, it slots in way more easily with the stereotype of your [image of Andy Capp comic strip] layabout, useless man [brief clip from The Simpsons] hanging out all night with Jim, James, Paul, and Tyrone. And honestly, I think that's still a very queer perspective, right?
Clip of Tracy Chapman live performance
Todd (VO): I mean, it's a pretty dim view of heterosexual romance. No happy ending for you, straights. [clip of "Copacabana" by...] I mean, I had very similar thoughts on why Barry Manilow kills Tony in "Copacabana".
Todd: So purely on a textual level...
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): ...I think I could make the case that Luke Combs actually does the gayer version. Since he doesn't change the lyrics at all, the narrator is still a woman in this.
Luke: Still ain't got a job
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
In fact, I think we all had the same reaction listening to this for the first time, like...
Todd: "You better not fuckin' change that fuckin' line Combs".
Todd (VO): "You change that lyric...
Todd: ...you motherf- I swear to Christ!"
Luke: So I work in the market as a checkout girl
Todd: [claps] Good, good. We're good, we're cool.
Todd (VO): Ok, just to show that I'm not actually the densest idiot alive: Yes, I do know that just singing from the perspective of the opposite gender is not the same thing as being gay. [clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"] And yes, I do get why this has a reputation as a lesbian song. Aesthetically, thematically, it's very lesbian.
Todd: Tracy Chapman broke out around the same time as...
Clip of "Closer to Fine" by...
Todd (VO): ...the very out and proud Indigo Girls, who defined people's idea of lesbian music for a long time. [clip of live performance from...] And Tracy Chapman with the deep voice and the androgynous looks was a big part of that scene. And outside of maybe that one lyric, thematically this story of trying to escape a miserable family situation. Living at the bottom, scratching by, longing for just the tiniest slice of the American Dream. For a lot of people, that is the gay experience.
Todd: That is, naturally, something that doesn't come across in the Luke Combs version.
Clip of Grady Smith's interview with Luke Combs
Todd (VO): I mean, I listened to his interview and what he thinks the song is about.
Grady: What do you think the song is about?
Luke: It's, obviously, it's this girl and, you know, and her father. And she's trying to, you know, remember these good times, she's taking care of him now obviously, you know.
Yes, that- that is literally what the song is about.
Luke: And, like, everybody that have these core memories that they go back to of, like... That's when it was- we did have good times, right? And I think you try to, you really romanticize that, I think. Eventually there comes a point where you're old enough to realize, like, well there's all these... There's so many bad times and you can't just really ignore them anymore.
Todd (VO): Ok. Ok, well that's a decent description. But hold on, it's not his job to be analyzing it, that's my job. There's a reason he does what he does and I do what I do... for a lot less money.
Todd: So if I can say, for me, the biggest moment of the song is the word "suburbs".
Clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"
Tracy: We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
Todd (VO): And specifically how awkward it sounds coming out of Tracy's mouth. Tracy Chapman doesn't really seem like the type to dream of suburbia, you know.
Todd: Like, in the rest of the song, when she talks about dreams, it's about the meaning of living, and freedom, and belonging.
Tracy: Finally see what it means to be living
Todd (VO): And then all of a sudden, she just drops that line in there.
Tracy: Live in the suburbs
Doesn't really rhyme with anything, and it's so mundane and un-romantic. Shows how her hopes and dreams are being dragged down to earth.
Todd: I feel like there's, like, a tiny bit of irony behind it.
Clip from Little Shop of Horrors
Todd (VO): Not as much as when Audrey dreamed of the suburbs in Little Shop of Horrors, but it-it's there. [clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"] And just like Little Shop, you can see why it means, sincerely, so much to this woman. Because it's not just a given or assumed thing that can happen. It's a real question whether these two people can have the, quote-unquote "boring happy ending".
Todd: And it sets up the tragedy of the final verse. They got the house and the job, or at the very least, some level of financial stability.
Tracy: I got a job that pays all our bills
Todd (VO): They made it, but they didn't make it. This person became a useless drunk just like her dad, and the fast car wasn't freedom, it was just a car.
Todd: I would agree that this is something that gets lost.
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Luke: Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
Todd (VO): I'm not sure if any of that irony or tragedy comes across in Combs' version. His voice is... too comforting, I guess. When he sings about the suburbs, it sounds like a normal, attainable goal.
Todd: Like, I didn't realize this until I listened to them both back to back.
Clip of Tracy Chapman live performance
Todd (VO): But you listen to the original version, and Tracy Chapman is that person. [clip of Tracy accepting Best New Artist at the Grammys] Not that Tracy Chapman needed more awards in 1988 but...
Todd: ...they should give Oscars for best acting in a song.
Todd (VO): Because you believe every word from her. When Tracy Chapman sings this, I hear a homeless dropout with an alcoholic dad, trying to escape poverty.
Todd: And when Luke Combs sings it, I hear:
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): "Hey everyone, I'm Luke Combs. Wanna hear me play 'Fast Car'?"
Todd: I do.
Todd (VO): I like that song, I like your version of it. But it's not the same thing.
Todd: But, if I can defend him here.
Clip of Luke talking about "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): One point he made that I do really like is that this is one of the songs that made him love music.
Luke: And that was just one of the first songs really that I ever remember hearing, listening to, loving, being one of my favorite songs.
And you know, maybe there are nuances that don't come across in his version. [clip of Luke's "Fast Car"] But again, I feel like I don't hear a lot of music that's about loving music. Like, I've heard haters suggest that Luke just saw a popular song and is cheaply cashing in on it. And I don't agree with that at all. I think his love of the song comes in loud and clear.
Todd: If I can make kind of a weird comparison here.
Clip of trailer for...
Todd (VO): I also really like Zach Snyder's Watchmen. And I know the Alan Moore fanboys will go in on the many ways Snyder blew it or that he didn't get it, and I probably agree with most of it. But even if Snyder doesn't get Watchmen, he certainly loves Watchmen and respects Watchmen. And that carried me through it pretty well. [clip of Luke's "Fast Car"] And that's how I feel about this, I guess. I'm happy to hear this song whenever.
Todd: If you wanna tag someone with cheaply cashing in on nostalgia, I can think of a much better example.
Clip of Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, Diddy & 21 Savage - "Creepin"'
Todd (VO): There's actually another cover song on the radio too. Metro Boomin and The Weeknd's cover of "I Don't Wanna Know" by Mario Winans.
Brief clip of that song...
Mario Winans: I don't wanna know
...and back to "Creepin"'
The Weeknd: I don't wanna know
And I will say, The Weeknd actually does improve that song by being a better singer, so it does have a "reason to exist". It's actually much better than the original, honestly. But I'd still be happy to not ever hear it again. "I Don't Wanna Know" is obviously no "Fast Car". But also, I just don't feel like anyone was really enthusiastic about remaking "I Don't Wanna Know". Metro Boomin had the idea to cover it because he saw it was still popular, he got The Weeknd to come in and lay down the track. It's very professional, but I don't sense any real deep connection to the song.
Clip of Luke talking about "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): And I say I do sense that from Luke Combs, so it's a tentative thumbs up from me. Cheap nostalgia bait? Maybe. But I don't really see anything wrong with that.
Todd: Cause the song itself is kinda about the power of nostalgia, right?
Clip of Tracy's "Fast Car"
Tracy: I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Todd (VO): It's about that powerful feeling of one good memory.
Todd: [contemplates] Then again.
Todd (VO): It's also kind of about the poison of nostalgia, right? She ends up trying to build a life with this person because they shared one fleeting moment of happiness that she kept chasing but could never really recreate.
Todd: [beat] Ok yeah, actually, I don't know.
Clip of Luke's "Fast Car"
Todd (VO): Maybe the subtext of this song is that you shouldn't cover it. Move on from the past, make some new memories. Ooh boy, I hadn't thought of that, I'm gonna have to chew on that one.
Todd: Yeah, can we get, like, a real new hit song in here? [gets up and leaves] Doesn't anyone listen to new music anymore? Christ!
Video for Luke's "Fast Car" ends
Todd: And while we're talking about big white guys with goofy facial hair.
Clip of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
Todd (VO): You know this clown right? Well, Lindsay Ellis has a new video up about the rise, fall, and redemption of one Guy Fieri. The Food Network host who survived being clowned on for years to become oddly wholesome. And you can watch that video exclusively on...
