Song lyrics that infuriate you

[JimmyJabs]

I'm sure this has been done before but I just heard Moonlight Shadow on the radio and it's set me right off. "4am in the morning"! A.m. MEANS morning, Oldfield, you oaf. It's tautological and really pissing annoying.

Also, Razorlight's woeful effort "I met a girl, she asked me my name, I told her what it was".

Share your annoyances so that we can all be enraged too!

There's a song by Eddie Vedder (can't remember name of it either!) that proclaims something like
"North is to South like clock is to time". Err.. not really. Compass is to direction like clock is to time. Doesn't rhyme though...

The female of the species is more deadlier than the male. ARRRGH!!!
You say it best when you say nothing at all. He's basically telling her to stfu!

We built this city on Rock and Roll

Try playing some then.

@KeepSmiling89 well in that case it's got nothing to do with the dad! It just really annoys me 🤣

Bruno Mars Just the way you are- he knows nothing about women! If I ask if I look OK I'm not asking if I'm beautiful or amazing, I'm asking does this outfit suit me/does it go together and is it appropriate for where we're going!

I thought Fergie sang ‘lovely lady lumps’

I also find the Gwen Stefani riff on Fiddler on the Roof unreasonably annoying. "I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl". No, you'd just be wealthy.

Luna she says "you love my lady lumps"!

I think he does say deadly, not deadlier. But there are lots of other annoying lines in that song to choose from. "Facing insurmountable odds greatly", for example. Did he want us to know that he knows a big word?

What's that daft song with the lyrics 'what's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?'

It's a load of old arse!

It has a sample from Michael Jackson's Can you feel it?' - which is (incidentally) the only decent bit in the song.

What's that daft song with the lyrics 'what's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?' It's a load of old arse!

AGREED 100%

Also almost all of 'Wonderful Tonight' by Eric Clapton, especially
"It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head/
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed"

I always imagine 'her' giving him a fireman's lift up the stairs

I really hate the 'everyone turns to see [...] walking around with me' too, see also: Chris de Burgh's 'Lady in Red':
"I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance/
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance" and
"I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side".

It's like their egos are based on what everyone else thinks of their partners. Yuck.

That David Guetta wanker...

"I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful...

Damn you'se a sexy bitch"

Fail.

I also find the Gwen Stefani riff on Fiddler on the Roof unreasonably annoying. "I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl". No, you'd just be wealthy.

Give her a call and explain it slowly - promise she won't holler back at you.

What I hate is when the “artistes” try to con us with an explanation about their crap lyrics.

“What’s she gonna look like with a chimney on her?”, for example, was explained away as “what will she look like with a fat lip?”

Nahhhh... I don’t believe it.

See also: “We need to talk about feels” which sounded so much like “we need to talk about fish”. Either way, it’s a shit line. Have you ever heard anyone talking about their “feels” in real life?

Oh and that other song (I can never remember the singers, sorry! Bebe Rexa?)

“Baby lay right back and relaaaax
Put your pretty feet up on my dash” BOARD

It’s a dashboard FFS.

Also, all of the lyrics to that horrifically puketastic Derulo song, "In my head"

"Just leave with me now say the word and we'll go
I'll be your teacher, I'll show you the ropes (you the ropes)
You'll see the side of love you've never known
I can see it going down, going down

In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screaming loud
In my head, it's going down"

Bruno Mars The Lazy Song. Can't cope with it at all. Truly low points are...
Throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I cant, no
And...
Tomorrow I'll wake up do some P90x
Meet a really nice girl have some really nice sex
"And she's gonna scream out this is great
"Oh my god, this is great"
Can't articulate how much this makes me itch and wretch. Wee creep.

I'm a bit late to this but have to add:

Pretty woman stop awhile
Pretty woman talk awhile
Pretty woman give your smile to me
Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman look my way

"Damn, can't think of something to end that line. I know, I'll stick a few lazy yeahs in there and no-one will ever notice......"

Agree with the Ronan song - just shut up and look pretty, dear. Euw.

I'm picturing her with breathtaking supermodel looks, always dressing only in the most exquisite timelessly-elegant couture, but having a voice like Joe Pasquale's much squeakier little sister

It Wasn't Me. I know the whole song is meant to be tongue in cheek, but it makes me shudder, and not in a good way. I have to admit to deriving some amusement from the time I saw it being performed on TOTP (I think it was the Christmas Day edition). They had obviously cleaned up the lyrics a bit so that they were "making love on the bathroom floor", as opposed to banging. But then Shaggy decided to throw in a bit of improv and just stood there shouting "Bang! Bang! Bang!" during the bridge. Sort of defeated the object a bit.

Claire , Gilbert o Sullivan . OMG !!!!!🤮

Oh & almost all songs by The Cranberries!

There’s that other ghastly one by Gilbert O’Sullivan: Alone again (Naturally). Whiny dirge...

I can't stand Gilbert O'Sullivan. He gives me the creeps.
