In true Blake Shelton fashion, the country star gave Josh Turner’s somber hit Long Black Train a cheeky makeover—and fans can’t stop laughing. In a playful new clip, Blake croons the iconic melody with his own twist, grinning as he belts, “My big, long thing is ready for hunting season!” The video quickly went viral, with fans praising Blake’s comedic timing and down-home humor. Whether it’s music or mischief, Shelton proves once again why he’s one of country’s most entertaining personalities.

With fall just around the corner, Blake Shelton is in full preparation mode for hunting season, and he’s got some brand-new equipment to help him along the way. Taking to social media, the country singer proudly took viewers on a tour of his newest Kubota product on his Oklahoma farm.

Since he admitted to not knowing the proper name for the newest member of his family, he simply called the slick orange and black vehicle “the big, long thing.”

“Check this out” he said before turning the camera to the farming equipment, offering a full view of its beauty. Shelton then moved in for a closer view of the back end of the vehicle and detailed how he plans to put it to use in a few short months

Pointing to each of the different sections of the large bed, which includes plenty of space, he showed where he will put the deer, the gear and the beer.

“I mean what is that?” he said followed by an overly enthusiastic “Woo.”

 

Shelton Gives A Warning To His Fellow Hunting Buddies

Making his way inside the vehicle, the “Purple Irises” singer heeded a warning to his fellow hunting buddies saying, “No, you’re not borrowing this thing.” He proceeded to tip his hat to country music star Josh Turner by singing a few notes of Turner’s signature song, “Long Black Train,” except Shelton changed up the lyrics a bit. Instead of singing, “don’t go riding on that long black train,” he says, “don’t go riding on my big, long thing.”

The Tractor Corporation appeared to be just as excited as Shelton’s new hunting tool as they commented “Here for a good time and a loooong time 😉

Now that the country superstar has retired from his days as a coach on The Voice, and only has a few more shows scheduled before the end of the year, Blake Shelton will likely have plenty of time to put his Kubota product to good use.
