Gentlemen: do you suffer from feelings of automotive inadequacy? If so, The Doohickeys may be right for you. "I Wish My Truck Was Bigger," is a gem of a song that blends humor with a nostalgic nod to classic country. Right from the jump, the track is a rollicking good time, showcasing the band's knack for infusing levity into their music. Singer Jack Hackett takes the lead vocal on this one, and he shines with his witty take on male inadequacy, using his truck as a playful euphemism. Lines like "My Tacoma gets the job done; it's kinda small so it ain't that much fun" cleverly address the theme with a knowing smirk, making it clear that this going to be a collegiate level class in innuendo. Hackett's vocal delivery is brimming with goofy charm, perfectly capturing the song's tongue-in-cheek humor. The playful poke at traditional masculinity is both refreshing and entertaining, especially in the country genre. The twist in the final verse, where co-lead singer Haley Spence Brown steps in, adds a delightful new layer to the song. Her reassurance that "Size really don't matter, it comes down to the driver" not only wraps up the theme with a positive message but also showcases her powerful vocal prowess. Overall, "I Wish My Truck Was Bigger" is a standout single that combines humor, great music, and a catchy hook... but please, consult your doctor before using Doohickeys. Side effects may include: toe tapping, excessive grinning, and sore ribs.
