"'Bubba Shot the Jukebox'" is a song written by Dennis Linde, and recorded by American country music singer Mark Chesnutt. It was released in September 1992 as the third single from his album 'Longnecks & Short Stories'. It peaked at number 4 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and at number 14 on the Canadian 'RPM' Country Tracks chart.
Content
The song is an uptempo, in which a man named Bubba shoots a jukebox when he hears a song that makes him cry, which causes a scene. Bubba is taken to jail.
Chart performance
"Bubba Shot the Jukebox" charted for several weeks prior to its release, due to several stations giving it unsolicited airplay while "I'll Think of Something" was Chesnutt's active single. A column in 'Billboard' described the song as "not thought to be viable for radio
by some in both Chesnutt's and MCA's camps", but that the unsolicited airplay made it "destined" to be a single.
