to get disproportionately angry when songs do not make sense

'So for once in my life...let me get what I want...Lord knows it will be the first time...Lord knows it will be the first time'

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what these lyrics mean in the John Lewis ad? Has this boy never got what he wanted for Christmas? Or is it the parents? Whoever, they all sound bloody ungrateful.

"And did those feet, in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?"

NO.

"Sometimes the snow comes down in June!"

mmm, yes, possibly, possibly...

"Sometimes the sun goes round the moon!"

DESIST.

And whats with Nat King Cole? "Are you warm? Are you Rill Mona Lisa?"
WTF is"rill" when it's in doors?

Pussycat Dolls

"Dont cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me
Dont cha, dont cha
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me
Dont cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me
Dont cha, dont cha"

NO,NO, NO and again NO, HE DOES NOT, that's why he choose a girlfriend who is not an annoying arrogant infantile airhead like you.

Drives me up the wall...

Is that supposed to be "crank" or is it a drug ? clunk, maybe ? chunk ?
Losing plot so shutting up.
Great thread though

There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The Greatest Gift they'll get this year is life"

It's already been mentioned about the snow in Africa but

1. Since when has snow been a gift? Why is it sang in a "poor buggers, won't even get a white Christmas" way, I would have thought a snowfall wouldn't be top of the wish list for a famine stricken country?
2. Well if I had a choice of gifts - snow? Or life? Hmm let me think about that one...

Another one is "Vienna", (incidentally didn't Midge Ure write "do they know" even though St Bob took the credit?) "It means nothing to me - ohhhhh Vienna". Means nothing to me either Midge. Load of old cobblers.

I refer you to Mr Michael Bolton:

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

Right Michael, which is it? Were you merely mistaken about your confused emotional inner landscape, or did you actively lie about it? Just because, to me, that would make rather a large difference. It seems you keep returning to this confession of lying. Do you have a guilty conscience about this?

probably but it confused me.

Wasn't the 'Guns don't kill people/Rappers do' song a satire? It certainly didn't take itself seriously.

'Guns don't kill people, Rappers do'

Do they?

How exactly?

Probably by boring the listener to death. Whereas guns actually can and do kill and maim.

I would like to add that STUPID SONG "How can you breathe with no air"

Well, you can't. You die. END OF

And then there's the one about "someone left the cake out in the rain". What. The. Frick.

Marmaduke Dukes Rubber Lover -

Funky all the way home
It's regular except for the number...

What's regular? What number? Ohhhwah! I'm old and I don't know what you meeeeeean (stamps aged foot).

Also re: Ke$ha I think crunk is a music/dance genre?

slightly caner friends, they were.

Shakira - humble breasts - mountains conundrum was discussed by friends of mine many years ago. It went like this:

"what would the problem actually be if somebody confused breasts with mountains"

"Er. If they were Geologists. Or Rock climbers."

"eeew yes. Hammers. Crampons."

Second, regarding "In this ever changing world in which we're living / we live in", not to get too Wittgenstein on yo' ass but if it's 'ever changing', we are probably not experiencing the same world as each other, given our different experiential perspectives and the minute but tangible temporal shift between the point you sang it and when I heard it. Boom.

Ever listened to Sak Noel's Loca People song (and I use the term loosely)? If you're one of the aforementioned angry people (like me) you'll have a pulmonary embolism.

'When I came to Spain and I saw people partying
I thought to myself: What the fck!?
All day, all night
All day, all night
Viva la fiesta, viva la noche
Viva los DJ's
I couldn't believe what I was living
So I called my friend Johnny
And I said to him: Johnny,
La gente esta muy loca!
What the fck!?'

IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY rips brick out of wall Ah, now I feel better. house collapses Now I don't, but it was worth it...

Surely ANYTHING by REM should be on here?

I think the cannonball one is supposed to be read in a similar way to 'lead balloon'.

"If you want to be my lover, you've got to get with my friends..."

All four of them? I'm not a machine darling!

BalloonSlayer It was Save the Best for Last

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough here

"paper woses, paper woses"
Think Marie Osmond might have had a teeny speech imped, though

Charlene Soraya (sp) and her speech impediment are irritating me at the moment....

"... whewevver you will go..."

What's with people who delibewately sing as if they can't pwonounce their "R"s?

Now what I want to know is, yes you Mr Pitbull, who is Keith?

(as in On the Floor)

I love the cockney rhyming in Supergrass:
Lost controwl, hit a wawl...

And one of my favourite worst lyrics is in a Chris de Burgh song about WW1 which starts
That cold North wind they call La Bize
Is swirling round about my knees

What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?

eh?
