That song is bugging

The summer song that has my ride’s stereo at peak volume, the windows rolled down and I’m  singing loudly, proudly…and extremely poorly is

19 something by Mark Wills

I’m not really a country music fan, but it was playing on my clock radio the other morning.  Since country is the only station with a glimmer of reception, I must awake to Tim McGraw and such twangy voices.  Anyhow, that morning I laid in bed enjoying my new find and appreciating how the lyrics simplified childhoods of most guys, and tom-boys, my age.  The minor changes I would make would be “I was Roger Stauback back in my back yard” for

I was Wonder Woman in my back yard

and you can replace “My first love was Daisy Duke in them cut off jeans” for My first love was Bo Duke and them cowboy boots. Scroll down for lyrics and You Tube link.  On a side note,   I am sitting here typing this post and I feel a bite on my left hip.  Ouch! Reflexively I pull away my shorts and brush it away.  Tentatively I look to where I directed the crunchy assailant I sensed on my finger tips.  Here is what I found gnawing on my delicate flesh.

Sing along in your best red-neck accent

  1. I can sing along to that one. I remember the first 8 track tapes, skating rinks and parachute pants, although I’m embarrassed to admit it. I suppose I did look cheesy, but the song does have catchy lyrics.

    Thanks for the memories…

  2. Never heard of that song but that’s not surprising since I don’t listen to country music, but the lyrics are great. Thanks for posting it. Have to admit that I do like some country performers like Lyle Lovett. Also like Delbert McClinton and Allison Kraus although they wouldn’t be considered strictly country.

    I think that bug also has a pouty face. Can’t blame it for that. Being nailed by a revengeful shoe (I’m guessing skechers) probably messed up its entire day.

  3. John: I’m sure it messed up its day, it surely messed up my shoe. The song is from 2002 and I just discovered it, that is telling.

    Shooter: I promise you, you did look cheesy:P I, however, looked cute in the 70s with my ultra mini dresses. 80s I looked like I came straight out of Flashdance. I’m glad the song did not talk about the 90s. After my fully stocked 90210 style inspired wardrobe, I followed the grunge movement. It was not pretty.

  4. Love those pouty lips. You have beautiful eyes.
    Yes, I remember all of those things.

  5. Thanks Fred!

    BTW: You guys crack me up. The smashed bug gets almost as many views as my pouty face.

  6. That bug had no chance against those strappy sandals CRUNCH
