Song lyrics that crack me up

It seems that songwriters have run out of things to write about. It used to be about broken hearts, getting drunk, honky tonks, how much mama loves you or you love her, etc. BTW I am talking about country music here. But now we've moved on to "Thank God for turnip greens" which has been out for a few months now, the song by Billy Currington. But today, I have heard it all. "I'd like to check you for fleas" was the line in Brad Paisley's new song. Now really, can't he find something else to write about? That just doesn't sound too romantic to me. Walking in the field under the stars might but then checking for fleas--heck, I don't want to even check my husband and kids! Ok, I will admit it is quite a humorous approach at romance in a country song. If you hear it come on the radio, turn it up way loud, roll your windowns down and sing it to the top of your lungs. Now that will scare the heck out of the person sitting next to you at a red light. But wouldn't it make you laugh? Here's to good ole' country music!

i was thinking the same thing...some of those country songs are so ridiculous. I do like Brad Paisley and he tends to be silly, so I can give him the Ticks song. But, some of these other guys seem serious about their silly songs.
