[edit] Content
The song is an uptempo tune in which, upon being asked by an intoxicated man to dance, the narrator's lover replies, "Every dog has its day, dog / And today, dog, just ain't yours."
[edit] Critical reception
The song received mixed reviews from critics. Juli Thanki of the 9513, in her review for the album, said the song's "infectious hook is offset by an unfortunate stanza they may have been cribbed from Go, Dog. Go!.[1] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, in his review of the album, was more positive about the song, describing the song as "a rollicking modern fiddle-filled honky tonker," "playful and irreverent," and "just the kind of up-tempo Toby Keith is able to excel to."[2] Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a failing grade saying that it contains "horrifically cheesy and terribly executed country metaphors." [3]
[edit] Chart performance
The song debuted at #56 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts for the week of October 17, 2009, at the time his single "American Ride" was at Number One for a second week.[4] It later re-entered the charts at #47 for the week of March 13, 2010, after the single was officially released.[5]
