Really listening to song lyrics

Greetings once again my faithful readers !

There is alot to be said about a good song ! I am known by most as the human jukebox because I can usually tell you who sings a song and what the title is, give me enough fireball and I may even sing it to you.  Believe me you dont want that to happen, the HELL Trevor goes through every weekend just by having to put up with me wailing away with Johnny Cash, Freddy Fender, Conway Twitty , George Jones and Roger Miller as well as Patsy Cline to name a few.  But hes a good little fella, never complains just constantly reminding me that every country song that comes on the play list I have to take a shot of fireball and for every celtic song be it John allan Cameron , Great big sea or the Rankin Family MMMM my Jimmy !!! I have to take 2 shots, so you can see where this is going, by the time 2 country songs come on and even 3 celtic songs I am three sheets to the wind, the singing gets louder and probably more off key and Trevor not only has a terrible singer on his hands , he now also has a drunken wife to be.  When the late great Roger Miller wrote his classic song chug a lug chug a lug, I think he wrote that song for me even though Im sure by that time I was still just a twinkle in my fathers eyes. You see the song clearly talks about fireball, although he never mentions the word for those of us who have ever drank it we know hes talking about us.  The lyrics clearly state"chug a lug chug a lug, makes you wanna holler hi de ho, burns your tummy dont you know, chug a lug chug a lug" what that great man neglected to say in his song was, not only does it burn your belly, it also burns your asshole the next morning.  Sure you say everytime it happens I am never drinking that shit again, but sometimes promises are made to be broken and that my friend is one promise I never keep.  Johnny Cash also wrote a song about fireball, although again he never speaks the word fireball hes talking about it when he sings ring a fire, and it burns burns burns, like a ring of fire , a ring of fire, the people from preparation H wanted to use his song in their commercial and he said no, but Im willing to bed the last 25 cents in my wallet that if he were alive today and Dr McGillicuddy, the founder of fireball approached him to use that song for their ad he would.  So there you have it country songs make sense if you just stop and listen to the lyrics. Those songs are better then the ones that just wail on and on about my wife left me , my dog got run over by a semi truck and goddamnit Im out of beer and pork rinds.  I hope you have all enjoyed my music lesson and hope you all have days filled with such happiness that you to can proclaim, "I'm so happy I could shit rainbows and fart fairy dust".
