Irony through country music through loss

I Got A Brand New Girlfriend by: Steve Holy shows irony inside and out of the song. Usually, when you get dumped by your girlfriend/boyfriend you tend to wallow in your own misery instead of going right out getting a new girlfriend. The music video for this song also shows irony. In the video, his new girlfriend is a blow up doll. The ex-girlfriend thinks it's a real person and gets extremely jealous.





Stay by: Sugarland once again, is irony. The song is about a girl who is in love with a married man, and doesn't want him to leave her. The majority of the song is explaining her wanting him to stay, but then there's a twist. Near the end, she explains how she doesn't need him like she said she did before, and she says how she needs to just move on.
