#the ballad of smokin' joe rudeboy

[antis-eye-chotic]

I wonder if Tom Cardy and Brian David Gilbert's collaboration came about after bonding over their songs about unconventional pacifist cowboys

Birdhouse In Your Soul : It's about a bird nightlight and borders on nonsense - also has the line 'I'm your only friend I'm not your only friend but I am'

The Ballad Of Smokin' Joe Rudeboy: The song is about a cowboy who flips people off instead of using a gun. And is successful at cowboy-ing

"I know that they're packing heat and I know that they know that I'm the man to beat, but when I step onto the street with a jingle in my feet they know that I know that they know that they can fuck themselves!"

My brother and I might have done something

[Pictured, Top Row: Tom Cardy dressed as Smokin' Joe from his music video for The Ballad of Smokin' Joe Rudeboy. Next to it, a BG3 screenshot of Smokin' Joe in game. Second Row: a halfling male who looks suspiciously like Charlie Daniels of The Devil Went Down to Georgia fame. Next to it, an album cover of The Devil Went Down to Georgia featuring Charlie Daniels playing the fiddle. It can be extrapolated that this Halfling is the titular Johnny of the song.]

I love The Ballad of Smokin' Joe Rudeboy.

It's so catchy and is actually a really fun story told in 4 minutes.

I know when Cooper finds frozen Janey or whatever happened to her it's going to be incredibly emotional and Walton Goggins is gonna obliterate our hearts with his performance, but if when our tears dry no one does something funny with the Ghoul and The Ballad of Smokin' Joe Rudeboy by Tom Cardy I'm gonna lose a bit of hope in humanity

Brian David Gilbert’s “Pumpkin Cowboy” and Tom Cardy’s “The Ballad of Smokin’ Joe Rudeboy” are at opposite ends of an extremely niche spectrum or alignment chart.

[antis-eye-chotic]

The Ballad of Smokin' Joe Rudeboy is one of Tom Cardy's best songs for several reasons:

Despite the narrator speculating that Joe might not know that everyone he gets into a fight with has an actual gun, Joe assures the audience that he does know and doesn't give a fuck. What a badass.

His daughter shows up wearing the velvet cloak the outlaw who killed her mother wore, letting Joe know that she got to them first and had already avenged Bo. Badassery runs in the family.

Despite the silly concept of a cowboy winning duels by flipping people off, his backstory is actually pretty tragic. It's not explicitly stated what happens to his wife, but considering the narrator says Joe was "too slow" we can conclude that Bo was probably shot by the outlaw while Joe was getting help, and presumably died during childbirth. Joe never goes back for their daughter, so he must have assumed or been told that she died along with Bo.

The chant of "Fuck off" in the background of the showdown with his daughter. You'll be too busy listening to the story to even notice it at first, but it's pretty funny when you finally hear it.

Joe "shooting" the cappucino out of the barista's hand in the music video cracks me up every time lol

Can you imagine an actual music video for this? It'd be so amazing

A young girl who’d seen it all

And grew up in a terrible place

I listened to the Ballad of Smokin’ Joe Rudeboy and it was the best thing I have ever heard.

So I decided to draw the main man’s daughter, I’m thinking about calling her Smokin’ Clo Rudeboy.
