LARRY THE CABLE GUY
 
 
Larry the Cable Guy  (born Daniel Lawrence Whitney; February 17, 1963) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice actor, and former radio personality.  He was one of the members of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, a comedy troupe which included Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Jeff Foxworthy (with whom he has starred on Blue Collar TV).  Whitney has released seven comedy albums, of which three have been certified gold by the RIAA for shipments of 500,000 copies.  In addition, he has starred in three films, as well as voicing Mater in the Cars franchise.  Whitney’s catchphrase, “Git-R-Done!” is also the title of his book.  From 2011 to 2013, the TV channel History aired a series starring Whitney called Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy, in which he would explore the country and immerse himself in different lifestyles, jobs and hobbies.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Much as stand-up routines allow performers to say things that they would never get away with if spoken with a straight face – Larry the Cable Guy comes immediately to mind – offbeat popular music recordings have served over the years to introduce previously taboo subjects to the larger society.
