have you ever loved a song so much that you just kept replaying it? If you have, I'm sure you didn't take it this far...

3 friends decided it would be a good idea to drive 7 hours to Alabama listening the nothing but Sweet Home Alabama on repeat for the entire drive.

“Alright guys, we are about to be starting the challenge where we literally drive from Illinois to Alabama listening to ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ the entire way,” he says in the recording posted to his more than 1,000 followers.

The popular Lynyrd Skynyrd song played for seven hours on repeat.

“I figured it out. It was around 94 times,” said Jacob Hove of the total amount of times they heard those lyrics. “Probably about the last two hours, I started getting a headache, and then I just starting losing it. I couldn’t comprehend that I’m still doing this.”

Carpenter added, “It’s just such a ridiculous thing. No one would do that in their right mind. It makes zero sense.”

Here is the whole story including a response from Johnny Van Zant himself...

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
