A passing thought, from Toby Keith

"I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was."

For some reason I just can't get this lyric out of my head this week. Hurrah for Friday.

That song gets stuck in my head and kind of annoys me. :P He's not as good--except once? Craaap. :)

Toby Keith is an aquired taste, I guess. =)

[skreidle]

No, that's not it--I like TK in general, but something about the phrasing of that song bugs me. :)

[absolutliz]

Oh, see, I like the phrasing, becuase I understand it to mean, hey, I'm not as good as as was when I was younger, but I can totally still pull it out in the clinch. Not to mention the obvious sexual euphenism. =)

Clearly I've thought too much about this.

[skreidle]

Yeah, I know/agree that that's what it means, but it still comes across.. buggin' me. :)

(Also, I don't think a euphemism is necessary in the verse where two women are coming onto him. :D)
