Dierks Bentley loves to write songs — and that is a huge benefit for his 6-month-old daughter Evalyn ‘Evie’ Day, as she is lucky enough to get her own, personal songs from dad. Dierks’ latest song for Evie is entitled “Wubba Nub Girl” and goes,
“Just a little red dog, with a green thing on the end, but I tell you my WubbaNub is my best friend. There every morning, when the sun goes down, when I’m lookin’ for a hug when no one can be found … My Wubba Nub … and it’s him I love … Never get enough … no, no … can’t get enough … of my WubbaNub.”
While Evie loves songs for her, she is not a fan of the songs her dad writes for others! When Dierks sang his hit ‘Here Today, Gone Tomorrow’ to his daughter, there was “no response,” so he tried ‘This Beautiful World’ next, which lead Evie to promptly spit up! “That counts … spit up’s good! Throw up or spit up … either one’s fine. It’s a response.”
All joking aside, Dierks doesn’t care if Evie likes his music or not, he just wants “her as a person to just be simple and natural and unassuming. And be able to really just have an open mind to everything. See things for what they truly are and not for what your mind perceives them to be.” He knows for that to happen he has to “be a good influence as a human being. As she comes up and learns and sees things and starts to form an opinion of them, I’ll try to be there to help encourage her to be open-minded to everything around her.”
