"I'd like to check you for ticks"
That just may be the least sexy line I've ever heard in a song, or at least one that gets radio play.
The things I run across in my futile effort to better understand white working class culture... Now I change the station when that one comes on.
The song is by Brad Paisley, in case anyone wants to rush out and buy the CD.

Hi, this is your cousin-in-law, Jasmine Marshall Armstrong. Funny. I would say if you want to look a white working class culture via country music, forget what is on the radio today. Pick up some Loretta Lynn. "The Pill" is an amazing song from a working class woman's perspective about birth control and liberation from the 1970s. Most stuff now is WAY overproduced, and is not written from a genuine perspective. I'm from a very working class background (Dad was a school custodian, mom a waitress until at almost 50 she got a teaching credential). These wanna be country songs say nothing real about the kinds of experiences real working class people have. They are an insult. I'm blue collar proud,now and forever.
