favorite lyrics of the day (vol. 5)

from Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, Adkins Trace
Now Honey, you can't blame her
For what her mama gave her
You ain't gotta hate her
For workin' that money-maker
Band shuts down at two
But we're hangin' out till three
We hate to see her go
But love to watch her leave
With that honky tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm
Make ya wanna swing along
Got it goin' on
Like Donkey Kong
And whoo-wee
Shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There outta be a law
Get the Sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on
With that honky tonk badonkadonk

I was browsing through the list of top 100 songs purchased on iTunes the other day and this little ditty caught my eye. It was the title that did it for me, because I'm not a big (or even small) fan of country music. But I do have to give them credit for simple lyrics and catchy melodies; if you hear a country song once, chances are you'll be able to sing along the second the time you hear it... if that should ever happen.

The lyrics in this song are top notch, c'mon, Donkey Kong? And if you know me at all, you understand my fondness of the term badonkadonk. The fact that it was able to make the crossover from hip hop to country music just proves that badonkadonk has some serious potential to be the next annoying word, like bling.

Oh, who am I kidding, I could never be annoyed with bandonkadonk.

I have known you all your life and I was sadly unaware of your fondness of the term badonkadonk.
I can only thank Crank Yankers for informing me of this word. (shout out to tracy morgan and the funniest skit ever.)

I think i am more disturbed by the use of the word "britches" in this popular song you quote.
