I had always thought it was "weed eater", but in preparing this post all the lyric sites on the web showed "egg beater" so I just assumed I had always been wrong. At any rate, it's a great song. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />Wendy,<br /><br /> I always get just a little miffed when outsiders poke fun at my small town or southern roots. It's like family...I can poke fun of them all day long and then some, but how dare someone else do it.

Where are you from?" <br /><br />I answer, "W'land." <br /><br />He says, "W'land!? You're kidding me!? Everyone time I go up that hill I feel like I'm in the movie Deliverance. Are you sure you're from W'land?" <br /><br />I say, "Yes sir. The last time you went, was my name still on the water tower?" He walked off laughing, and I sat at my desk feeling somewhat offended.

The caption under the CD of Ray's should state "weed eater" instead of "egg beater". A lot of people have misheard the lyrics through the years. Some people, at one point in time, thought he was saying "whee dinger" but "weed eater" is the correct lyric.<br /><br />An example: Some people still think Ray is saying "look at that! look at that!" in the song, "The Streak", when in actuality he's saying "Boogity! Boogity!".ACcountryFanhttp://accountryfan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
