One more pitcher of margaritas, ladies?

Inspired by Bomani Jones's column that I linked to yesterday, in which he disassembles the premise of a song because he found it utterly ridiculous, I am going to do the same to Joe Nichols's Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off. Now say I am stealing this idea all you want, but my buddy Patrick and I have talked about this for a long time. If you're not familiar with the song its a country tune that is about how Joe Nichols's girl goes out with her girlfriends and always ends up disrobing after she has drank too much tequila. Stupid premise? Yeah, that's what I thought too. The song isn't terrible because Nichols is a good singer and its not horribly written, but its nothing I am going to spend twenty eight seconds downloading, although; its a bit ironic that I am about to spend ten minutes writing about it. So the lesson, as always, is don't put to much thought into my reasoning.

Regardless, ole' Joe seems to inexplicably stay home while she goes about town with her friends and comes home naked as a jay bird. My question is, what is he doing during all this? If I knew the girl was off making like she was on the French Riviera, I would be off at the shadiest smoke-filled bar tossing back whiskey and looking about as stable as Gary Busey during an overnight in Cancun. This premise is so unfeasible to me that it makes me want to put my fingers in the pencil sharpener. Just look at some of the lyrics:

"THEM PANTYHOSE AIN'T GONNA LAST TOO LONG
IF THE D J PUTS BON JOVI ON
SHE MIGHT COME HOME IN A TABLECLOTH
TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF

SHE DON'T MEAN NOTHING SHE'S JUST HAVING FUN
TOMORROW SHE'LL SAY OH WHAT HAVE I DONE
HER FRIENDS WILL JOKE ABOUT THE STUFF SHE LOST
CAUSE TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF"

What????

He's okay with this? Really? How? And it sounds like she is a repeat offender. If I had a girl who pulled this stunt recurringly I would not be cool with it. Period. I mean I would expect this behavior out of Tara Reid, but not someone I was dating. I mean he doesn't even sound like he's even remotely mad. My buddy Pat summed it up by saying, "he sounds more like he's just defeated by the whole thing and has a 'oh no, she is naked again' look on his face as he pulls at his hair." Agreed. I think Joe Nichols needs a little less "What ever am I going to do?" and a little more "Get your ass in the car!" Just a thought.
