I'd like to check you for ticks!

Lol. This post was too cute!=P The song is really cute. And with all due respect, there aren't "really" bugs involved with checking someone for ticks.=P*giggles*

Only Brad can get away with a song that talks about checking you for ticks. I love Brad's music. His dad song is one of the best I've ever heard. If you don't ike Brad I'm not sure about you;-).

The song is cute! Do get it. It says the girl's jeans are playin' peek-a-boo, and he'd like to see the other half of her butterfly tattoo. Then goes on to say, he'd like to walk her through a field of wildflowers, see her under the moonlight, yadda yadda. "I'd like to check you for ticks." Cute song.=P

First off, I like the song. I think it's cute. (As I SAID). I didn't say I was offended. Brad Paisley happens to be my favorite country artist. It IS all in good fun, but, just like others here on Mylot, I was posting a discussion to get opinions of others that have heard the song; NOT to get demeanded by you or anyone else. My sense of humor? It's right here.*points*

The reason I posted this was, again, to get opinions of others. And except for you, that's exactly what I got. There are a couple parts in the song that play on the edge of inappropriate, just because of the wording used.

Are you from the country? I don't mean "A place in California that has cows." I mean, are you a COUNTRY person. Country girl. Country boy. Whichever. If you know, truly, what "check you for ticks" means, then you'd get the point of this discussion. If not, you can picture Brad Paisley very CLOSELY checking some chick for ticks, in between, all around, and INSIDE of her every body part. Offended? Nope, not me. I'm a country girl. I believe I've been checked for ticks a few times.;] *giggles*

Yes, I understand what checking a person for ticks means. And I suppose it would be inappropriate to some extend. That is, I wouldn't want my kid walking around the neighbourhood singing it.

One day a lady called into a radio station and said her son was walking around the shopping mall with a flag like he was in a parade singing, "Hold my beer while I kiss your girlfriend". You wouldn't think that would be too offensive until you hear your little one singing it out to the world. LOL! The mother was totally embarrassed.

In fact, there are some country songs (we have country on all the time) that my daughters sing along to and I have to point out to my 10 year old to NOT sing that at school or she'll be sent home.

But then, I have my 14 year old who meanders from country to rap and I freaked when I saw the Fifty Cent video "Candy Shop" on a web page SHE made. She got banned from the internet for denying it. I would be interested in seeing what the video for "Ticks" is like. I wouldn't think Brad Paisley would go so far as to act that song out in its entirety. Have you seen the video for this song?

Lol, no I haven't seen the video for Ticks yet. That would be.. interesting to say the least. And I think you're right. I don't think Brad Paisley would go as far in the video as the song lets on. And I say that with the previous media response that Rascal Flatts got for showing his booty in the video.=P

I suppose I should have been more clear when I said "inappropriate." I have a 4 year old son that absolutely repeats everything he hears. So far, Tim McGraw's "Fly Away" has been stuck in his head. But, about a year and a half ago, he was running around singing "My hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps."*giggles* That one was sure hard to explain to my parents.. Lol! Hopefully, he won't be telling any girls in kindergarden next year that he wants to check them for ticks. o.O That'll be a call home for sure.=P

Same here.=P It's a cute song.

It is a good example, but in 'country lingo'... when someone says, "I checked her for ticks" it means... well, yeah. Lol. They pretty much got it on. It's just a common phrase among the city-challenged people.=P
