''[[Cheer Up, Charlie Daniels'']] is a five-person indie rock band based in Nashville, Tennessee.
 
Its members are Luke Skidmore on lead guitar, Adam Selzer on Rhodes/M3, Gary Hundley on bass, Skylar Glover on drums, and frontman Neil O'Neil on guitar and lead vocals. Neil is also Turbo Lover, of [[The Protomen (Music)|The Protomen]]. Adam and Luke have another band, [[Adam and The Couch Potatoes (Music)|Adam and Thethe Couch Potatoes]], of which Neil is also a member.
 
While they draw inspiration from country great Charlie Daniels, the band's style has been described as very eclectic. Many of their songs deal with love. Currently they have released a vinyl album, titled "Live in '79", and have plans to release an EP.
 
Their website, with a link to buy the album, can be found [http://cheerupcharliedaniels.bandcamp.com/ here]. Their [[My SpaceMyspace]] account is [http://www.myspace.com/cheerupcharliedaniels here].

{{creatortropes}}
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: The song 'Too Damn Rock and Roll' plays with this. The girl may want him, but she won't follow through.
** Some fans have humorously theorized that the man is supposed to be Neil.
* [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders]]: The song 'Pig Tails' is about one of these guys. [[Tear Jerker|After the relationship ended.]]
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: 'Yeast Infection' has quite a few, all relating to bread. (And money.)
{{quote| I don't make enough bread to keep you satisfied/ Dough is all I'm kneading to get a slice of your high...}}
* [[The Cheerleader]]: The guy in 'Pig Tails' realizes his girlfriend is this. (She's a literal cheerleader, but as far as personality goes.) He notes that she 'used to be sweeter', indicating that she may have been nicer before. It's [[Tear Jerker|surprisingly sad]].
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Done on purpose. Never has art class been so...charged.
* [[Double Entendre]]: Oh, so many.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Used in the solo song 'In Search of Gold'.
{{quote| Hair of gold made me up and quit my job to be a miner...}}
* [[Handsome Devil]]: The man described in 'Too Damn Rock and Roll'.
{{quote| They say that he ain't got a soul/He'll make your knees lose full control...}}
* [[He Also Did]]: Neil O'Neil is also Turbo Lover, AKA Dr. Wily of [[The Protomen (Music)|The Protomen]].
** He and Adam are in [[Adam and The Couch Potatoes (Music)|Adam and Thethe Couch Potatoes]].
* [[High School Sweethearts]]: Some of their songs revolve around this, though the degree of affection varies.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: The song 'Yeast Infection'.
* [[LampshadedIf DoubleYou EntendreKnow What I Mean]]: The song 'Yeast Infection' is full of bread-related puns, but they also relate to money. <s> And sex</s>.
** As does 'Bunsen Burner Baby Blues', in relation to science.
** And 'Masterpiece' in relation to art. Come to think of it, most of their songs are like this.
** The unreleased song '[http://cheerupcharliedaniels.bandcamp.com/track/marching-band-romance Marching Band Romance]' doesn't even ''try'' to hide it.

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: The demo of 'Ice Cold Razor Blades' sounds like a happy, upbeat song one might hear at a spa. It's about a woman getting her throat slit.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Going from this to Neil's [[Adam and Thethe Couch Potatoes (Music)|other]] [[The Protomen (Music)|bands]] can be quite the switch.
* [[The Protomen (Music)|The Protomen]]: Neil O'Neil voices Dr. Wily. Recently, Luke became one of their guitarists.
* [[Showdown At High Noon]]: Panther, of [[The Protomen (Music)|The Protomen]], did a promotional song, ''The Duel'', about the band facing off against a similarly-named group for rights to the name. There can only be one victor.
** [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Cheer Up Charlie Daniels won.
*** The song has gotten a sequel, ''The Duel: Part 2'', detailing the band's faceoff at the Road to Bonnaroo on May 17. {{spoiler|They got second place.}}
