Angry listeners lash out at country stations for promoting the ‘gay agenda’ with ‘Girl Crush’ song
Cuntry music radio stations have placed Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush” into low rotation after listeners complained that the song is “promoting the gay agenda,” Al.com’s Debbie Lord reports.
The song is written from the perspective of a woman who envies of her ex-boyfriend’s new lover. “I want to taste her lips, yeah cause they taste like you / I want to drown myself in a bottle of her perfume,” Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild sings. “I want her long blond hair, I want her magic touch / Yeah cause maybe then, you’d want me just as much — I got a girl crush.”
According to “TexMex,” a music director for a country radio station in Texas, the first time the song was played, his station was deluged with complaints about its “‘obvious’ lesbian meaning.”
He admitted to be baffled by the response. “Did you listen to the song all the way through? Do you not like songs about women being jealous of a mistress?” he asked. “This is the foundation of female country music subjects most of the time.”
In an interview with Vevo, Fairchild’s band mate, Kimberly Schlapman agreed, saying “this woman is just looking at the woman her man left her for and wondering, ‘What does she have that I don’t have? What am I missing? What is it that she’s giving you that I can’t give you?’”
