AIBU?

AIBU to cringe whenever I hear this lyric? (by The Weeknd)

This one (I Feel It Coming)

Tell me what you really like
Baby, I can take my time
We don't ever have to fight
Just take it step-by-step
I can see it in your eyes
'Cause they never tell me lies
I can feel that body shake
And the heat between your legs


ie the heat between legs. Horrible lyric! I'm sure I am getting prudish in my old age. However, I think of a recent thread (fanjo mist) and still chuckle at same time. But it just makes me think of sweaty non cotton knickers on plastic seats. I'm sure it's meant to be a sexy lyric.
It's not working for me.

I like the song but you're right, that is really cringe worthy. Make me think cystitis.

In the summertime makes me cringe:

If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor just do what you feel

Nice!!

Lilac, basically, "If he's rich dont rape her. If he isnt, go for it."

I don't think anything's worse than Sugar Walls.

Who are The Weeknd? [elderly]

Anyway, yes, it's horrid. I sort of imagine the heat smelling. Confused

I HATE that song - not sure what the proper title is but it's something along the lines of That Girl Is a Real Crowd Pleaser and there's a line in there:
Rockin John Lennon lenses
Like to see 'em spread eagled [YUCK]
and other gems such as:

Took a bitch to the club
and let her party on the table.

Christ almighty. You know, in the 80s songs were about love. I love you, I want to make love to you, I can't live without you - now's it's ho's and poles - God alone knows where feminism went.

The Weekend is a one single chap, not a group!! Don't know why he calls himself a plural name!

Sorry I meant to say yes I'm not that keen on the The Weekend song lyric either but that I hate the example I gave even more.

Really? You think that's the meaning of that line? What a very skewed view of men.

Well, Bleurghghghgh, I guess we know where your username came from!

I always took that In the Summertime line to mean that if she's rich, try to impress her and if she's not, you don't have to work so hard at it. Still vile, but not actually a call to rape impoverished women.

Sugar Walls is Sheena Easton!?!!! I just had to google. It's raining tonight?!!! Jeez. Spend the night in my sugar walls??! If she has that much sugar she needs to stock up on the Canesten.
Babybarrister, I did get it right but only because I googled

Shock I've never heard of The Weeknd either! (Bloody stupid name though).

I thought that song was by Daft Punk! Google informs me it is feat. Daft Punk.

I thought that song 'sweat' was a bit rapey

Girl I wanna make you sweat
Sweat til you can't sweat no more
And if you cry, I'm gonna push it some more'

Was always a bit Shock but have since found out it's 'and if you cry out, I'm gonna push it some more'

So I suppose it's not as bad as I first thought 🙈

I really like that song but also go a bit deaf during that bit. Just seems so unnecessary.

Now I've got that stupid a-la-la-la-la-long riff stuck in my head...cheers!

It's like a homage to a radiant fanjo.
