My Take
Another timely summer release, former Nashville Star contestant Whitney Duncan's new single is a breezy anthem for your ...um Whitney skinny dippin' :)... oh, sorry, got off track a minute. Anyway, this song is an ode to ...you guessed it. Although many a country song has ended with or included folks dropping trou' and hopping into the creek, I don't recall a single that was completely dedicated to ... hmm, Whitney skinny dippin'. Apologies, back to the review. I'm not sure I see this being a big hit for a couple of reasons. #1 enunciation... while, her voice is soulful and fairly pleasing to the ear, Ms. Duncan sounds like she's got a mouthful of marbles... no, something softer... cotton balls maybe. It was difficult to make out all of the lyrics ...Whitney Duncan naked in the water...ahem. So, #2... the lyrics (the ones I could discern anyway). Did she say they were swimming in the Mississippi??? Do people swim in the Mississippi? Have you seen it lately? Have you seen the size of the fish they pull out of that thing? I was born beside it and I won't swim in it. Sure, I'm overanalyzing, but that's what I do here. Also, did I hear the word "tush"? Who, besides ZZ Top uses that word and gets away wwwwwWhitney Duncan with her clothes off in a swimming hole. Where was I? Okay, so this is an alright song. I'm probably just past the ceiling age for skinny dipping and it not being really weird, so the subject matter doesn't appeal to me a great deal, but this is mostly aimed at the high school/college age set... and I'm sure it works for that demographinakedwhitneyduncaninacreek whoa. Anyway, I'm done. Let me know when the video comes out.

Kenny Chesney Parody Take Two

By the popular demand of many, many very specific web searches that led people to the previous version, I have written a second parody for a popular hit song (based on the title that was being searching for). Obviously I can't say what will and won't offend you, but I hope that you will take this for the parody of the song, the satire of gay stereotypes and the spoof on Kenny's supposed hidden sexual preference that I mean it to be. I considered this title the first go-round, but figured it was too obvious. On second thought....

(I Came) Out Last Night

(Parody of Kenny Chesney's "Out Last Night")

I came out last night

Perez he says that it's true

Sipped martinis last night

Discussed a few musicals too

There were boys from West Memphis and Caroline,

Maine, Miami, and the lower east side

All fixed up, having a fabulous time

Yeah, I came out last night

One dare started leading to another

Out last night, hitting on everybody and his brother

There were two karaoke girls, and most guys stared

Their skirts were really short but I didn't care

Cuz Ty's chest was buff and bare

I came out last night

Well you know I'm a country boy

Closeted in East Tennessee

Last night I became overjoyed

With a few tasty fruit drinks in me

I was a jockey, fireman, a dude into rap, Brad Pitt's lover, and a man wearing chaps

Anything I thought would get me some staff

Yeah, I came out last night

One fling started leading to another

Out last night, hitting on everybody and his brother

There I was talking fashion and not watching sports

Except for skiing and boating of course

Cut off my blue jeans into shorty shorts

When I came out last night

Well, my career is sure over when the video hits YouTube

Of me singing "Never Wanted Nothin' More" to some dude

Oh I came out last night

One dance started leading to another

Out last night

Like it's really a great shock to discover

I was dancing with no ladies

Feelin' light in my shoes

Pairing off with Virgil and getting loose

Should have seen that camera's light

When I came out last night
