1. The writers (Liz Rose, Lori McKenna and Hillary Lindsey) are ALL intelligent, successful writers who write intelligent, successful songs. They KNEW the lyric was suggestive.

2. Little Big Town KNEW the lyric was suggestive when they decided to record the song.

3. The record company KNEW the lyric was suggestive and would cause controversy (read "talk" or "press"). They may be idiots, but they aren't stupid.

This is calculated every step of the way.

The video has had 2 Million views - and it has no video - it is just the audio. The song is SELLING like hotcakes.
Parents (or just Old People) are complaining. The KIDS (who are the ones who spend money on music) are buying it. They don't care. They accept it. Half of the shows on TV now have same-sex relationships of main characters. (it doesn't matter that that is not what the song is actually about...)

The song also proves (once again) that it is the women of Country (both the writers and the singers) who are putting out well written songs. First thing I've heard on Country radio in a LONG time that was worth actually listening to the lyric...


On a side note... the Lyric video has had another 646,000 hits. IT IS A VERY CLEVER LYRIC VIDEO. I think some of our Showcase Video makers could do something similar... R&AM... Joanne...Bob...Josie...
