Kentucky fans are a different breed. Love or hate them, they’re the most passionate and crazy fans in college basketball. So, it shouldn’t be any surprise that on the morning of John Calipari‘s return, a fan released a country music song about booing Calipari in Rupp Arena.

Booin’ In The Bluegrass” by Derrick Harris is now available on YouTube. The catchy tune is a unique addition to the ongoing boo/cheer debate around Saturday’s game in Lexington, with a clear stance on which side it takes:

Don’t tell me to hush
Don’t tell me to cheer
We’re booing in the Bluegrass
And he ain’t welcome here

“Bopping this on my drive home from the store,” a UK fan replied on X.

“This great its actually a well thought out song,” said another.
