Taylor Swift’s second Tortured Poets Department single, ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,’ sits at #35 on the year-end Hot 100.
And then we’re back to country, and specifically the country/hip-hop blend I referenced yesterday. The 36th slot belongs to Jessie Murph and Jelly Roll with ‘Wild Ones.’ This year was the first time I heard of Jelly Roll, but apparently he’s released 10 studio albums since 2012. Murph has been recording since 2021 but released her debut album last year.
I’m not a fan of her voice, which sounds like it has been sped up into a gravelly chipmunk register. I’ll pass on this one.
Got me wide, wide open
Got a .45 on him
And he pushin’ ’bout a 102
Always smokin’ somethin’
He ain’t worried ’bout nothin’
‘Cause he ain’t got nothing to lose
[Verse 1: Jessie Murph]
I got a thing for the hard liquor on ice
Short days and long nights
Marlboros out the window
Middle finger to the sky
Say you wanna get dangerous
Now you’re speakin’ my language
I forgot what your name is
So, I’ma call you mine (Mine)
I’ma call you mine (Mine)
[Chorus: Jessie Murph]
Got me wide, wide open
Got a .45 on him
And he pushin’ ’bout a 102
Always smokin’ somethin’
He ain’t worried ’bout nothin’
‘Cause he ain’t got nothing to lose
[Post-Chorus: Jessie Murph]
I got a thing for the wild ones (Wild, wild, wild)
I got a thing for the wild ones, it’s like he knew
I got a thing for the wild ones (Wild, wild, wild)
I got a thing for the wild ones, they like me too
[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
(Yeah) I’m attracted to things that are really crazy
Asking me how I’ve been feelin’ lately
Coming for mine, then it’s do or die
I won’t let it slide, no stealin’ bases
No back-and-forth bargainin’ (Now)
No bitchin’ and arguin’
A whole lotta problems, livin’ in Gotham
And Bunnie’s my Harley Quinn (My Harley Quinn)
Was raised in the darkness, forgive me, I’m guarded (Guarded)
I have no shame, I’m in love with the heartless
The police will never take us alive
And cowgirls don’t cry
[Chorus: Jessie Murph]
Got me wide, wide open
Got a .45 on him
And he pushin’ ’bout a 102
Always smokin’ somethin’
He ain’t worried ’bout nothin’
‘Cause he ain’t got nothing to lose
[Post-Chorus]
I got a thing for the wild ones (Wild, wild, wild)
I got a thing for the wild ones, it’s like he knew
I got a thing for the wild ones (Wild, wild, wild)
I got a thing for the wild ones, they like me too
[Outro]
Yeah (Wild, wild, wild)
A thing for the wild ones (It’s like he knew)
I got a thing for the wild ones (Wild, wild, wild)
Got a thing for the wild ones (They like me too, hm)
Meet Me In Montauk 
From the little I’ve heard of Jelly Roll, he seems pretty talented.
I agree with your description of her voice 🤣
