Urban Sings Miranda’s Latest Hit
They say it’s the sincerest form of flattery, but a few weeks ago, Keith Urban performed Miranda Lambert’s current hit, “Fastest Girl In Town.” When Keith co-hosted Country Countdown USA, host Lon Helton asked why he chose that song: “It’s a great song, such a cool song, and actually Nic & I were listening to that song, and she said, ‘You know, a guy could have sung that song. He would have just said, ‘I’m running with the fastest girl in town.’ She said it’s kind of cool when a guy says that about his girl. It just changes the whole song, so I learned the song and flipped the lyrics, and it was a blast to sing.”
Lon pointed out that Keith’s wife did this once before, with the song Stupid Boy. Keith says, “She comes at it from the girl point of view. But she’s become more of a country fan. Our girls are singing country songs too. Sunny’s in the back singing songs. She tends to lean towards daddy’s songs, when she’s in the back singing Long Hot Summer, it’s hilarious.”
