It's the improper use of ironic so I'm sure our boys down at the grammar police station will be all over it as soon as their twelve-hour doughnut break is up. Yup, they've been doing overtime this week so gotta give 'em credit!

This song reminds me of my brothers. I was nine years old and we were on a trip to Colorado to visit my aunts in uncles. This was the song my brother was listening to and my half-brother was getting on his case for it because he deemed it to be gay. Umm, nothing wrong with being gay but my half-brother always used it as an insult anyway.
That's when my dad had enough. He pulled into a bus stop in Nebraska, opened the trunk, took out my half-brother's suit case and handed it to him and went inside to buy him a ticket home and gave him money for a cab ride from the bus stop back to our house. That's my family! I can still remember the look on my half-brother's face when we drove away.
I also remember hearing Uncle Dan telling Aunt Julie "It sure is nice without him here this time." I don't think I was supposed to hear that, lol.
I never told him, lol. Maybe if I'm feeling mean I'll tell mom about it now that it's 17 years after the fact. He's her favorite! What's there about my half-brother that a mother wouldn't love? Hmm, let's see, his major achievements in life are getting asked to leave college, assault, burglary, credit card fraud, felon in possession of a gun, I'm probably forgetting a few but yup, he's definitely way more lovable than me even though I'll be the one picking mom's nursing home.
He's my mom's kid. He was 21 at the time. He was really from a different world than my brother and me. My brother owned his own home by the time he was 20. I owned my own home by the time I was 19. My half-brother, well, umm, dad finally kicked him out of the house when he was 30. He moved onto a friend's couch.
