Carrie Underwood

People are getting very, very lazy and I think Nashville started it. I think people who came in and interpreted, like, Garth Brooks writing, Shania Twain writing, they misinterpreted it. Cause it was verbose, but it still held its point. They misinterpreted it, and it became this sort of lost-in-translation version of a lot of information. [Sings garbled words from chorus of Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" in mocking falsetto:] "Well I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive/ Carved my name into his leather seats." That's half! That's half the chorus! That song is called "Before He Cheats," right? But you're not really singing about "before he cheats!" [Hums remainder of "Before He Cheats" chorus]—and here we go—"maybe next time he'll think before he cheats." The only cheating in there is, not writing about him cheating! It's lazy.
