As I've mentioned several times before, I don't really listen to a song's lyrics. Here's one where I caught the video on TV and on iTunes a few times and found it very hard to ignore the lyrics: "Figured You Out" by Nickelback from The Long Road.
Ignoring the lyrics again.
They are patently chauvinistic, increasingly offensive, and truly wonderful on so many levels. On the deep plane, Chad Kroeger sings what men really think. A man can quickly tire of something he loves and come to despise it. Once a man gets something he wants, he's usually satisfied. And he can love a woman but still lose his respect for her at the same time over one thing. Going a bit more shallow, men's likes and desires get a good going over illustrating that we can be as shallow as our wants. On the surface, men are pigs and we don't mind. Actually, we celebrate it.
What? No details to back these assertions? I don't think that I'm naive enough to misinterpret what Kroger is singing about. If I'm right, this is stuff I never brought up with my then-wife or my best friend. You'll have to listen the song yourself. Even though I have a hard time dismissing what I'm hearing to get just the beat and fabulous melody, it's still a great tune and it is today's Song of the Day!
