He started out his career at a young age as a fledgling rapper. He met Kid Rock in 1987, and Rock asked Kracker to become his DJ. Kracker did not know how to work the turntables, but he soon learned how to, and he became a long-term friend and colleague of Rock.
Kracker worked with Kid Rock until he became a solo artist in 2000.
The My Hometown Songfacts reports that Kracker recorded Postcards From Home over seven weeks in early 2011. The album title was inspired by his hectic life on the road after his successful Happy Hour longplayer.
Nobody's Sad On a Saturday Night
Uncle Kracker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But nobody's sad on a Saturday night.
So throw some cheap sunglasses on your blood shot eye's
Cause nobody's sad on a Saturday night.
Some Johnny Cougar, some southern comfort
Winner's and loser's we got each other
The world looks better in neon lights
Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine
Nobody's sad on a Saturday night.
I'll leave out the part where she said Good Bye
Cause nobody's sad on a Saturday night.
It goes whoa whoa here we go rock&roll rodeo
Some Johnny Cougar, some southern comfort
Winner's and loser's we got each other
The world looks better in neon lights
Cause nobody's sad on a Saturday night.
It goes whoa whoa here we go rock&roll rodeo
Some Johnny Cougar some southern comfort
Winners or loser's we got each other
The world looks better in neon lights
Cause nobody's sad on a Saturday night.
Some Hank Jr. some southern comfort
I see you dancing babe I got your number
The world looks better in neon lights
Cause nobody's sad on a Saturday night
Some Johny Cougar, some southern comfort
Winner's and loser's we got each other
The world looks better in neon lights
Cause nobody's sad on a Saturday night.
