As somebody who still occasionally listens to country music (just in case something good comes out of Nashville) (which only happens once a decade or so these days), I feel like it's my right . . . no, it's my DUTY, to point out certain songs that are so ridiculously stupid that I feel like my IQ dropped just by listening.
This morning as I flipped through the stations, I stopped on a country station as they were leading into Brad Paisley's "Ticks" and I thought "Gee, what an unusual name for a song. He can't possibly be singing about blood-sucking bugs, can he? No. They wouldn't sink that low, would they?"
Indeed they have. The newest pickup line in redneck bars all across this great land of ours: "I want to check you for ticks."
The song can be played from the soundtrack above, but I don't recommend it. Lyrics are here.
Ticks (Brad Paisley)

(Note: I think I saw it in a magazine, but they had put a picture of Carol Burnett next to Phil Spector, and I'll be damned if they didn't look really similar.)

Kind of like my David Stremme situation, don't really think he's that good a driver (I mean, he does drive the Coors Light car), but he's just so frickin cute...
