Like you, we sometimes wonder: what's the greatest Kid Rock song ever?
It's hard to say. On the one hand, you have the earlier hits like "Only God Knows Why" and "Cowboy;" on the other hand, you have more recent stuff like "So Hott" and "All Summer Long." All are testaments to the human spirit.
We were thinking about this the other day, when we discovered that Kid Rock himself--you know, the real one!--regards "Amen," off the Rock N Roll Jesus album, as "the best song I've ever written." Excited, we watched the video, and realized that the video was also the best song he's ever written! Or something like that.
It's important to share this info with our readers, we decided, so here we are. As is our habit, we're interpreting the video on behalf of Kid Rock via our captions, which are weird and dissonant this week. But enjoy the vid, enjoy the captions, celebrate life, and be back here again next week for even more caption zaniness!

From the "Madonna, Framed": "Mr. Kordosh, it's "Ja" not "Jah". Please don't quote the German language if you can't do it correctly. Sad to know someone who is supposed to be as educated as you didn't take advantage of the fact that the correct spelling of a two letter word was only a mouse-click away from you."--missinugianna
Framed replies: We suck.
"I am familiar with Mr. Riegel's work in Creem magazine. We both worked in Cincinnati at one point in our lives, but I do not know if he was born there like I was. He was a huge fan of Lester Bangs. He is an icon, just like O'Connor, Kordosh, and DiMartino."--Yahoo! Music User
Framed replies: You're just making up names now, right?
