Country Music Stations pulling Little Big Town's latest country hit, "Girl Crush," - Gay Agenda!

Well at least that's what Country Radio Stations are saying that they won't play the song because there is some sort of 'Gay Agenda' not sure what that means. Still haven't figured what what a 'Gay Agenda' is but I guess it's something 'bad' because there are some Country music stations in an uproar pulling the song from airplay.

Radio Stations Pull Little Big Town's 'Girl Crush' Over Complaints Of Song's 'Gay Agenda'

Radio stations are reportedly pulling Little Big Town's latest country hit, "Girl Crush," due to complaints that the song's lyrics promote the "gay agenda."

Radio host Alana Lynn of 104.3 FM in Boise, Idaho, told the Washington Post that she received angry calls and emails after playing "Girl Crush" off the band's latest album, "Pain Killer," and stopped playing the song during her morning show. Other stations across the country axed it, too, the outlet notes.

Some of the sultry lyrics include: "I want to taste her lips/ Yeah, 'cause they taste like you/ I want to drown myself/ In a bottle of her perfume/ I want her long blonde hair/ I want her magic touch/ Yeah, 'cause maybe then/ You'd want me just as much/ I got a girl crush."

But "Girl Crush" is not about a lesbian romance. It's about a woman who is jealous yet enthralled by her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend. The track was written by Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey, the songwriting collective known as the Love Junkies. Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman loved it as soon as they heard it.

"It could be a bit of a game changer on country radio right now," Fairchild told Rolling Stone back in December. "There are not many women on the radio and not many ballads with that kind of lyrical content. I'm excited. Already, radio's support has been huge out of the gate."

"Girl Crush"

I gotta girl crush, hate to admit it but
I gotta heart rush, ain’t slowin’ down
I got it real bad, want everything she has
That smile and the midnight laugh she’s givin’ you now

I wanna taste her lips, yeah, ‘cause they taste like you
I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blonde hair, I want her magic touch
Yeah, ‘cause maybe then, you’d want me just as much
I gotta girl crush, I gotta girl crush

I don’t get no sleep, I don’t get no peace
Thinkin’ about her under your bed sheets
The way that she’s whisperin’, the way that she’s pullin’ you in
Lord knows I’ve tried, I can’t get her off my mind

I wanna taste her lips, yeah, ‘cause they taste like you
I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blonde hair, I want her magic touch
Yeah, ‘cause maybe then, you’d want me just as much
I gotta girl crush, I gotta girl crush

I gotta girl crush, hate to admit it but
I gotta heart rush, it ain’t slowin’ down
