You make some very excellent points, Ed! Many parents today are not like they used to be and it is usually their fault for their kids turning out the way they do. My mom had Dr. Phil on once and there was this guy on who loved violent video games and played them all the time with his 5-year-old son. He considered this quality time. You have to wonder about these people. <br /> <br />When it comes to music, what really counts is how it sounds, at least for me anyway. What the artist is singing about isn't nearly important as how the song itself sounds when it comes to your personal preference for music that you enjoy. <br /> <br />In regard to subliminal messges in various songs, they may be there, but to me that doesn't make the song offensive if it isn't obvious. I'm a Beatles fan and have always been under the impression that Penny Lane was about what Hugh Jampton said, not gabe's idea. But, hypothetically speaking, even if gabe's assumption is correct, the lyrics themselves are innocent enough that even if there was some offensive meaning in them, 99.99% of people would never know it. By the way, did you know that when the song Louie Louie first came out that there were acusations made by people that there were subliminal messages and secret sexual meanings behind the lyrics? As ridiculous as that sounds, it's true. <br /> <br />Also, a great deal of rap music probably has lots of dirty things in it, but, to tell you the truth, I can't understand what they're actually saying a lot of the time. <br /> <br />I haven't heard the song I Play Chicken With The Train yet either, but I did get the lyrics off the net if anyone is interested. <br /> <br />[Chorus - Big & Rich] <br />I play chicken with the train <br />Play chicken with the train train <br />Unh huh huh unh huh huh <br />You know that I play chicken with the train <br />Play chicken with the train train <br />Unh huh huh unh huh huh yeah <br /> <br />[Verse 1 - Cowboy Troy] <br />Hold 'em up! Here we go! <br />All the hicks and chicks feel the flow <br />Big black train comin 'round the bend <br />Gwone kinfolk tell ya mamanem <br />Chug-a-lugga, chug-a-lugga, chug-a-lugga who? <br />The big blackneck comin' through to you <br />Boy you done fell and bumped your head <br />Uh huh that's what they said <br />People said it's impossible, <br />Not probable, too radical <br />But I already been on the CMA's <br />Hell Tim McGraw said he like the change <br />And he likes the way my hick-hop sounds <br />And the way the crowd screams when I stomp the ground <br />I'm big and black, clickety-clack <br />And I make the train jump the track like that <br /> <br />[Repeat Chorus] <br /> <br />[Verse 2 - Cowboy Troy] <br />From mic to cassette deep into your ear <br />My voice is your choice that you wanted to hear <br />Southern boy makin' noise where the buffalo roam <br />Flesh, denim and bone as you might have known <br />See me ridin' into town like a desperado <br />With a big belt buckle, the cowboy bravado <br />All over the world wide web you'll see <br />Download CBT on an mp3 <br />Speak clearly what I'm sayin' so you'll comprehend <br />Hit the net for hick-hop radio, tune in <br />Rollin' like thunder on the scene <br />It's kinda hard to describe if you know what I mean <br />I never claimed to be the hardest of the roughest hard rocks <br />But I'm boomin' out yo' box <br />Skills got you jumpin' outch'a socks <br />From Texas here I come, movin' yo body with a bass kick drum! <br /> <br />[Repeat Chorus] <br /> <br />[Cowboy Troy] <br />I play chicken with the train <br />Play chicken with the train train <br />Unh huh huh unh huh huh <br />I play chicken with the train <br />Play chicken with the train train <br /> <br />[Big & Rich] <br />Unh huh huh unh huh huh you know that <br /> <br />[Repeat Chorus] <br /> <br />[Cowboy Troy] <br />Huh! <br />Yeah! <br />One time! <br />Get you some of that! <br /> <br />From what I can tell, the song has absolutely nothing to do with playing chicken with trains and the chorus is really only a kind of metaphor.
