Rockin' Funnies: Goodbye Earl (2000)

The Dixie Chicks' cover of "Goodbye Earl", the 3rd single from "Fly", peaked at #13 on the country chart in 2000. You couldn't escape the video, which was in heavy airplay on CMT. Jane Krakowski (Ally McBeal), Adrian Pasdar, and Dennis Franz (NYPD Blue) are among the guest stars, with Franz in the title role.

The absurdity of it all is the dance sequence in the finale, meant to parody Michael Jackson's "Thriller", right down to Franz, whose character was killed off, joining the rest of the cast in the town square.
