Aging is inevitable as years go by. The body deteriorates and there are a lot of changes that not even science can stop. The skin becomes wrinkly and saggy, our hair turns silver-gray, puffy eyes, and a lot more. That’s on top of all the behavioral changes that go along with it.
These are things that not even plastic surgery can stop, all of us will become old and there’s no way we can stop the tick of the clock. But instead of worrying and complaining about these changes, why don’t you just embrace them just like what Donnalou Stevens did?
In fact, she didn’t only accept these changes, she made a funny but meaningful song about it too!
A viral video about getting old.
In a video that’s now been viewed more than 17 million times, Stevens sings funny lyrics to a song called “Older Ladies.” When listening to it, you might find yourself cringing from time to time but because it’s spot-on, you also have to laugh.
Country girls, assemble!
This video starts with a group of women dressed up like they’re from the country. While they’re not old per se, you can tell they’re either nearing or have already reached maturity.
The song goes just like narrating what most women go through as they age.
The first verse Stevens sings goes like this, “Well I ain’t 16, not a beauty queen. And my eyes are bagging, and my skin is sagging. If that’s the reason you don’t love me then maybe that’s not love.” She has a good point.
It’s a lively country song that will make you appreciate life.
“Well I aint’ twenty either and I don’t care neither. And my hair is gray and I like it that way. And if that’s the reason you don’t love me then maybe that’s not love.” We adore these women.
Even old girls know how to party!
Whether these ladies are dolled up as country gals or dressed to the nines in pageant gowns, they keep smiling. Wouldn’t it be nice if all women felt this way about growing older? After all, the signs of aging are a gift, not a curse.
The song’s lyrics might punch a giggle but the words are making sense.
The lyrics of this song just keep getting better. “Well if you don’t think I rock then we aren’t going to roll. If you don’t think I hung the moon, my hot just turned to cold. If you want a younger model, I wish you well sweet pea.”
To them, age is nothing but a number.
Wow…talk about empowerment. These women are proud of every line and wrinkle and here to tell the world that if their men don’t like it, they can move on down the road. What an awesome attitude.
They’re all proud of the changes life has brought them.
At one point, these women lift their skirts just slightly to show off their gams. That’s when the words turn to, “I got cellulite and achin’ feet. And my thighs kind of jiggle when I giggle or wiggle. And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me then maybe that’s not love at all.” Oh my gosh. This is a hoot.
Talking about sucking those fats?
When you see one of the women trying to suck fat out of her stomach using a vacuum cleaner hose, get ready to laugh. The lyrics go on with, “My tummy ain’t tucked or lipo-sucked. It’s a little pouchy but I still Hoochy Koochy.” And as you’d expect, it finishes with “And if that’s the reason that you don’t love me then maybe that’s not love at all.”
It may look all fun and clever, but they definitely want to pass on a message.
At one point, all the ladies don bathing suits. The words Stevens sing next are funny but powerful. “See I’m no longer desperate. I’ll only have a man if he has the smarts to see how hot that I still am.”
Beauty knows no age and we must all rejoice in life!
While this video is a riot, it makes a great point. Regardless of what a woman looks like on the outside, she’s still incredibly beautiful on the inside. For women everywhere who question their self-worth, this video is worth watching.
Actually, it doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman, we can all relate to the message of the song. Aging will definitely be a lot of fun if we learn how to celebrate it. Whatever your age is, let us all unite and celebrate life, especially during these trying times.
Thank you, Donnalou Stevens…we needed that. As the song says, “Older ladies are divine.”
Watch the video below and sing along with Donnalou and the rest of her gang.
