Kid Rock- All summer long- Analysis

Kid Rock- All summer long

The Song and music video i have chosen to write about is, Kid rock all summer long. This was released it 2008, this song is actualy a mix of two other songs. Werewolves of london by Warren Zevron and Sweet Home Alabama By Lynyrd Skynyrd, Warren Zevron providing the backing music and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This rock/pop song shows classic elements of this genre, fast cars, fast boats, alcohol, women and good weather. It is mostly performance based, although it does show a little performance about half way through. This video also shows an intertextual reference to Apocalypse Now, when he artist is seen to be dancing on the same stage that is used in the film for the Playboy Models. Also this music video has flashbacks which shows us what he is singing about. We know they are flashbacks because the video goes a little grainy, this shows that it was filmed a while ago, therefore showing it is a flashback. The video fits very well with the music, it is all neat and tidy, and the video cuts in time with the song. Also when there is a little instrumental bit, it cuts to a video of either women dancing or a boat powering across the lake. Kid Rock plays the main part in this song, both the narrative part, and the performance part. He is the first person you see when the video starts, it shows everyone waving at him, this makes him look very popular, also it shows him as a sexual figure as it shows scantily clothed women, practically worshiping him. This video is very similar to his other music videos, it starts off by showing a lovely scene of Sunny America, then it sweeps to Kid Rock standing on a shoreline. The theme of water is continued.
