Really, Toby Keith?
Isn't that a little obvious?
How you got this lyric played on country radio is beyond me.
They censor The Zac Brown Band's "Toes" because he says "ass", and yet you can cleverly slip in a line like this?
Lady Antebellum is also censored. When I bought their CD, I was shocked to discover that the line that says "would you get the wrong impression, if I asked you to dance right now" is actually "would you get the wrong impression if I called us a cab right now". I don't see anything wrong with what they say...in fact, I like that lyric better.
And Taylor Swift's Picture To Burn...she can't say "so go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy, that's fine, I'll tell mine that your gay". Nope...can't say gay on country radio.
Now, don't get me wrong. I like the Toby Keith song, especially the line "spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars". It's a cute song.
I just think that if radio stations are going to censor songs, they should do it for everyone.

I agree with you. Even on other radio stations, if a song uses the "f" word, they just sort of semi-skip it. What is that? You still KNOW that they're saying it!
You are so right!
But apparently Toby is special....either cut them all or let them all play, seems simple to me.
