Blake Shelton had his #1 party yesterday for his hit song “Who Are You When I’m Not Lookin”…and I caught up with Blake before the party. Something’s been driving me crazy ever since the first time I heard that song. There’s a line in the song, that I just don’t understand. There's a line in the song that says, “Do you paint your toes, cause you bite your nails”…it sounds to me like he’s saying the girl in the song is biting her toenails!!! EWWW!
So yesterday, I asked Blake about that line. Now I know Blake didn’t write this song…BUT he sings it, so surely he can tell me what it means…here’s Blake’s explanation:
Blake: I kinda thought that would clear itself up after a while, and I shoulda known better. Hah! When I first heard the song, I didn’t even think of it that way. I immediately thought, “ok, she doesn’t paint her fingernails because she bites ‘em. So she paints her toenails instead.” But then, like, speaking to my mom, my mom may have been the first one to go,”Well, that’s gross.” Well, I said “What?” She goes, “Whe paints her toenails and then she bites ‘em?” And I’m like, what the hell are you..” Then I stepped back and went “Oh my God” yeah I guess I see it that way too! And then I kinda stopped thinkin’ about it and I’ll be damned if not two nights ago there was a, uh, TJ Martell dinner. And I was standing next to Kellie Pickler, as we were doin’ you know, interviews side by side. And the guy ends up sayin, “Hey let me grab you and Kellie together talkin’ a minute. And then he mentioned this number one party. And I turned to Kellie Pickler and I said, “Kellie, I’d like to know…do you paint your toes ‘cause you bite your nails?” and she said almost the same thing that my Mom said, which was, “Man, I wanted to ask you about that. That is GROSS!” and so it was like, It’s not gone…people still think a girl is sitting around sucking her toes like those old Monchichi dolls they used to sell. It’s like, I don’t know. I’m glad that the confusion didn’t hold the song back.”
Well, I was glad to know I wasn’t the only one who thought that way!! And Blake’s right the song wasn’t held back…obviously, I mean it went to #1! Here's the song: (Oh!...and by the way...Blake told us that he fought with the director of his music video...over him being barefoot! He REFUSED to be barefoot on the bed...and after a while of going back and forth...Blake obviously won. He wore boots....but the director didn't show his feet!)

Well, Blake’s party yesterday was a lot of fun…because HE is so fun! We all had a great time. He did talk about his wedding a bit…it was really sweet…Blake said, "I am so excited about being married to Miranda Lambert…but I don’t care a thing about a wedding".
