The eternal quest. 
I've gotten several critiques of this song, with wildly varying opinions. A female songwriter said she found it offensive and sexist. A female publisher said it "might" be too edgy, but wasn't sure. A male songwriter/producer loved it. Your thoughts?

CHASIN' THAT THANG
It's Friday night...I'm heading to town
Got my sleeves rolled up and my hat turned down
Got a brand new tat and a cool ring tone
I might be lonesome, but not for long
The thrill of the hunt is the name of the game.
Ain't nothin' like it when you're chasin' that thang
Work it for me now
(chorus)
Shake it. Quake it.
I can hardly take it
Girl, I'm coming undone
Crank it. Swank it.
Let me see'ya spank it
Like a big bass drum
Got a one track mind; ain't never gonna change
Good Gosh A'Mighty... love chasin' that thang
Yonder come a twelve on a scale of ten
White cotton sun dress on Spring Break skin
Girl, you got my ticker going' thump, thump, thump
Makin' that heart shaped thang bump, bump
It's a rush. It's a buzz. It's a fire in my brain
Ain't nothin' like it, when you're chasin' that thang
Work it for me now
Chorus
Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that thang.
Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that thang.
It's a rush. It's a buzz... a fire in my brain
Good Gosh A'Mighty... I love chasin' that thang
Work it for me now
Chorus
Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that thang.
Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that thang.
Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that thang.
Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that. Chasin' that thang.

PS - I did do a bit of rewriting after the female publisher’s comments and toned it down a little. I’m not sure if it was enough though. The thing is, I think there is a fine line I’m trying to tight rope across. I don’t want to strip the lyric of it’s fun and edginess and zap all it’s energy , but I don’t want the song to be offensive either. Your thoughts?
