Video: What Has Country Come To? The Bellamy Brothers Get Spicy With Jalapenos

The Bellamy Brothers have never been exactly the saints of country music.  After striking it big on the pop charts with their 1976 number one Let Your Love Flow, they pretty much stuck around in country land where they had almost three dozen more hits including If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me (1979/#39 Pop/#1 Country), Do You Love As Good As You Look (1981/#1 Country) and For All the Wrong Reasons (1982/#1 Country).

Even though the hits stopped back in the 90's, they've kept recording and touring and currently have a new song that, while an internet sensation at over 600,000 views, isn't getting much airplay.  Maybe it's because Jalapenos has a couple of lines that are just a little too much for the normally conservative country stations.

David Bellamy told The Boot, "What's really funny about this song...I was talking to one of our promotion guys, and I said, 'What do they want us to do, bleep out the word ass?' He goes, 'No that doesn't bother them; it's just the word erect that bothers them.' I said, 'Have you seen these ads on television?! It's like every three minutes. That's what we're making fun of. Every few minutes they're on TV ... people in bathtubs!' We had one lady from a radio station that actually emailed our office. Our assistant showed me the email, and she said, 'I really love this song. I'm just waiting for permission from my boss to see if I can play it.'"
