Worst Lyrics Ever?
Don't ask me how I know this (OK, I know it because an NPR-addicted friend just heard something about it), but country star Brad Paisley has a song called "Ticks." Check out some of these lyrics:
And I just learned this on Wikipedia: "Physical contact is the only method of transportation for ticks. Ticks do not jump or fly, although they may drop from their perch and fall onto a host." What a strange phrase that first sentence makes. I wonder if it's true of Paisley, too, like he just has to stand there at the end of a concert until a roadie passes and he can reach out for a piggyback or grab on to a sock.
And in the small there of your backand
your jeans are playing peek a boo
I'd like to see the other half
of your butterfly tattoo
I know the perfect little pathBut those are nothing (nothing!) compared to the chorus:
out in these woods I used to hunt
Don't worry babe I've got your back
and I've also got your front
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlightI don't think even Jane Goodall would find that romantic.
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
and I'd like to check you for ticks
And I just learned this on Wikipedia: "Physical contact is the only method of transportation for ticks. Ticks do not jump or fly, although they may drop from their perch and fall onto a host." What a strange phrase that first sentence makes. I wonder if it's true of Paisley, too, like he just has to stand there at the end of a concert until a roadie passes and he can reach out for a piggyback or grab on to a sock.

Seriously, I'd planned on discussing this terrible song. So, on one hand, thanks for beating me to the punch. But I appreciate someone else has heard this song, which is so weird and awful it makes me cry bitter tears for my homeland.
