Songs I don't like: "I Wanna Talk About Me"

Tweet

Inspired by @JohnRoberts and @teamfreak16 I bring you songs that I dislike.  To kick off this series I bring you "I Wanna Talk About Me" by Toby Keith.  I will admit that the music video for this little ditty is rather amusing - but it isn't enough to be redemptive.  However the repetitive refrain "I wanna talk about meeeeeeeeeeeeee" ... makes my skin crawl.  I have been on many, many dates where all the man could do was talk about himself.  So to assume this is only a female trait is - in short - incorrect.  Further more let's take a look-see at the video.  There are 2 easy fixes to Toby's issue.  The lady in the video is of course a lovely , model-esque, blonde.  Well, it's sort of a trade off.  Looking like that isn't easy.  So of course she's going to talk about her diet, her trips to the gym, her shopping... - this isn't saying that beautiful people can't be interesting, too, however it would seem like sometimes there is that trade off.  So maybe Toby could search for a love interest based on personality and common interests rather than looks.  But we all know that is not very likely to happen, so...  on to the second fix - It looks like she drags him with shopping - allow her to go on her own or with her friends.  I can't stand couples where they need to do everything together -- while one person becomes a wet blanket because they don't like the activity.  You shouldn't have to give up things you like to date someone, on the other hand - they don't need to do things they don't like, either.  I know - it's all in good fun, but I still can't stand the song.
