Singing corn … Youll love it!
To be precise, the corn inShuckeddoes not itself sing, but it is sungaboutquite a lot.
This is a whole, full-throated countrified musical based around the U.S.s favorite heavily subsidized grain.
The tale is set in Cob County.
goes the first song inShucked, itself titled Corn.
Yes, we said corn!

That showstalled out, but the collaboration stuck.Shucked, now a stand-alone ethanol-fueled idea, kept growing.

I think if you lead a horse to a pretzel, then water, hell drink!
Thats a fantasy as wide-eyed and naive asShuckeds own hero, Maizy.
But, like her, it contains a few kernels of wisdom.
The thing is defiantly irreducible, because its aims are simple and direct.
To that end,Shuckedgoes in one end and out the other wholly itself.
