Toby Keith is not a bit shy about offending someone with his music or videos. Red Solo Cup is not an offensive subject, but Keith does not let us down. Early on in the video he lets us know about the male anatomy necessary to be bold, brave, and able to drink from a Red Solo Cup.
Red Solo Cup has not hit a positive chord with all critics, with some claim that Keith is appealing to “trailer trash.” The interesting thing is that Toby can make something so simple as a plastic red cup into a song and video.
Joining the party and video are Ted Nugent, Sammy Hagar, Eric Church, the Warren Brothers, Craig Ferguson, Larry Bird, Roger Clemens, Carrot Top and Joe Nichols.
Red Solo Cup was written by Brett Warren, Brad Warren, Brett Beavers, and Jim Beavers.
The party tune can be found on Keith’s just-released album, Clancy’s Tavern.
Here are the lyrics:
Now, red solo cup is the best receptical
For barbecues, tailgates, fairs, and festivals
And you, sir, do not have a pair of testicles
If you prefer drinkin’ from glass
Hey, red solo cup is cheap and disposable
And in fourteen years, they are decomposable
And unlike my home, they are not foreclosable
Freddy Mac can kiss my ass
Whoo!
Red solo cup
I fill you up
Let’s have a party
Let’s have a party
I love you, red solo cup
I lift you up
Proceed to party
Proceed to party
Now, I really love how you’re easy to stack
But I really hate how you’re easy to crack
‘Cause when beer runs down in front of my pack
Well, that, my friends, is quite yucky
But I have to admit that the ladies get smitten
Admirin’ how sharply my first name is written
On you with a Sharpie when I get to hittin’
On them to help me get lucky
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/toby+keith/red+solo+cup_20984633.html ]
Red solo cup
I fill you up
Let’s have a party
Let’s have a party
I love you, red solo cup
I lift you up
Proceed to party
Proceed to party
Now, I’ve seen you in blue and I’ve seen you in yellow
But only you, red, will do for this fellow
‘Cause you are the Abbot to my Costello
And you are the Fruit to my Loom
Red solo cup, you’re more than just plastic
You’re more than amazing, you’re more than fantastic
And believe me that I am not the least bit sarcastic
When I look at you and say
Red solo cup, you’re not just a cup
(No! No! No! God, no! )
You’re my-you’re my (Friend?) friend
(Friend x3; Life-long)
Thank you for being my friend
Red solo cup
I fill you up
Let’s have a party
Let’s have a party
I love you, red solo cup
I lift you up
Proceed to party
Proceed to party
Red solo cup
I fill you up
Let’s have a party
Let’s have a party
Red solo cup
Let’s have a party
Proceed to party
