Reverend Horton Heat "Please Don't Take The Baby To The Liquor Store"

I never actually saw the movie "Sweet Home Alabama," but from the promos, I learned the useful line, "You have a baby! In a Bar!"

It's great when pop culture provides a joke that you can use to defuse the awkwardness of doing something socially, well, awkward.

That's why I was happy to discover this Reverend Horton Heat track.

Because I was going to see the band last month, and hadn't caught up on their recent releases, I had missed this nugget.

And yes, when I'm on the way home from the grocery store, and my wife calls me and asks that I stop by the package store, too, I can look in the rearview mirror, into the back seat, and cheerily sing to my kid:

"Please don't take the baby to the liquor store, it's not the kind of bottle he's been crying for."
