Country Psychic

Country psychic is one of the most, if not the most popular recurring segment on The Church of Lazlo. This segment originally spawned in 2011 from a news story featured during headlines. Holly Bobo was a young girl who had been murdered in Tennesee and was a cousin of country singer Whitney Duncan. Duncan had had success a few years prior with the song Skinny Dippin. While describing this relation, Slimfast said he had never heard Skinny Dippin, but believed he could guess the words to it by only knowing the title and artist. He begin to riff on the song by making up the words to it and parodying country music in general, much to the delight of Lazlo and Meredith. After headlines had ended, Slimfast began to think about turning the concept into a segment where he would guess the words to multiple country songs each week. Slimfast rounded out the segment by using the premise of claiming to be a psychic with the uncanny ability to guess the words to country songs. Lazlo would decide which songs would be used and would play Slimfast the instrumental version of the song for a few seconds so Slimfast could get a feel for the song. After Slimfast had an idea in his head, Lazlo would play the instrumental version again while Slimfast sang along guessing the words. After he finished his psychic version, Meredith would play back the song with its original vocals for comparison. Country Psychic was immediately a listener favorite and soon became a recurring segment which took place every Friday. Eventually Slimfast changed the segment into Butt Rock Psychic using the same premise and execution with hard rock music. Butt Rock Psychic was often followed by Mail and was eventually replaced with Mail. Neither Country Psychic or Butt Rock Psychic has made an appearance on the show since 2014. Country Psychic is still requested almost daily by listeners on the textline and social media and can often be heard during Best Of.
