I Wanna Talk About Me Lyrics

Cover art for I Wanna Talk About Me lyrics by Toby Keith

This song more than any other contemporary country song makes my blood boil. The meaning is obvious... he wants to talk about himself... but instead of just talking about himself, he talks about how he wants to talk about himself... This entire concept is ridiculously egotistical, and completely fucking pointless, esp considering that almost all of his songs are ABOUT HIM!!! Just look at how many of them start with the word "I". Does he really not talk about himself enough? Does he just love the sound of his own voice that much? Besides that, this song is written as though it is for a contest to see who can fill a song with the most trite bullshit possible. Who gives a fuck if you want to talk about yourself toby keith?

I love this song. It's about a man's womanfriend who goes on and on about herself, never once asking her SO if he has anything to say. And he's telling her, "Let's talk about me. I want to talk about me, not you." And I think that's fair. Everyone has something to say about something and they just need a platform, even (like in this case) they have to cut someone off and create one themselves

A couple of points to previous posters: 1.You know that this is not of his songs that start with "I," right?...

  • Different musicians use certain means to sell records: if patriotism works, why not? Music is a business.
  • A lot of singers/songwriters talk about themselves in their songs. It's not new or conceited, it's just how they let out their feelings and that.
  • Basically, the song is fun and catchy.
