“Take off your clothes or get out of my car” song

I looked all weekend for something to post on the website and nothing stood out. I scoured my Google alerts and checked out the usual news suspects and could not find a single thing that motivated me enough to write a post. So, this morning I sign into Napster and was informed that country music singer, Toby Keith, recently released a new album called Bullets in the Gun.One of my best kept secrets is that I grew up listening and loving country music. I still have a soft spot for some of the classic singers, songs and sounds from the country music I listened to during my childhood. I stopped listening to country music over a decade ago and have no idea about the current state of country music or country singers.

The one thing I do know is that I haven’t liked anything Toby has released since How Do You Like Me Now? in 1999. I decided to take a scroll down through the songs on his current album and most of them sound like what I would expect from the post 9/11 put a boot in your ass Toby. He’s made a name for himself by promoting rabid, if-you-don’t-love-it-leave-it or we’ll hang you from a tree, patriotism.

Near the end of the playlist, the song Get Out of My Car caught my eye. Toby’s never been accused of having deep or insightful lyrics so my mind immediately went to the literal “put out or get out” scenario. I forced myself to listen to the song, and I can still stand by my claim that I haven’t liked anything Toby Keith has done since 1999. The song was disgusting and it was exactly what I was afraid it was. The message is Take off your clothes or get out of my car. I won’t attempt to link to the song because it’s not worth listening to, but if you go to the Men’s Anti-Violence website you can read the full post and cringe and shudder at the sleazy lyrics.
