| Toby Keith – How Do You Like Me Now Lyrics
| 21 years ago

This song always bugged me. The main reason is that it's about some guy who kept a grudge so long that he had to come back and flaunt it to some girl from high school. Another reason is that, according to the song, he was a dick to HER, (under your number I wrote "call for a good time") I and yet now he's taunting her with his success. And the final reason is that he was pissed that she was always too snobby for him, and then he comes back to brag that now HE is too snobby for HER. Heck, she's already paying for her mistakes with a loveless marriage, but it's still okay to grind her face in it? It's not just about taking the moral high ground. It's about how it's okay for him to be a jerk, but nobody else. (Nothing against Toby, unless this is about him.) |

While I don't necessarily disagree with all the "Saturn as a planet" or "Saturn as a god" explanations, there is another interesting possibility that I personally think is the answer. In palmistry there are several references to Saturn, including a finger of Saturn, the mount of Saturn, etc. Those people who have a highly developed "mount of Saturn" are highly successful and driven, but they neglect their friends and families. They are also naturally irritating and suspicious. Now, whether you believe in all that or not, think about this: When "Saturn rises" you're raising your hand into a fist. "Choose one or ten" means that a person holding a Grudge typically has only two responses: Choosing one = giving someone the finger. Choosing ten = raising both fists to fight. Anyway, that's the way I see it... |
