"Donkey"
Song

"Donkey" is a song recorded by American country music artist Jerrod Niemann. It was released in May 2014 as the second single from his album High Noon. The song was written by David Tolliver, Kyle Jacobs, and Fred Wilhelm.

Critical reception

Website Taste of Country gave the song a positive review, saying that "it’s more down-home than the auto-tune-heavy ‘Drink to That All Night.’ This is the song that could get you up and dancing at any of the best country bars — and Niemann knows it."[1] Derek Hudgin of Country Perspective gave it a very negative review, calling it "The Worst Country Song of the Year", and heavily criticizing its lyrics as well as the use of autotune.[2]
