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!

[JimmyJabs]

@ThankyouPeter that whole song, now you mention it. A celebration of being a cheating scumbag, dressed up as romance 🤮

[WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll]

If it comes on the radio and I can't be bothered to get up to turn it off, I find that replacing the breathy, submissive little-girl voice with that of a down-to-Earth, don't-mess-with-me Yorkshire grandmother singing "I've been to Pontefract, but I've never been to Leeds" makes it marginally more bearable!

There's a less well-known version of the song from a male perspective - equally objectionable but the lyrics still manage to get some boasting in there along with feeling sorry for himself.

[WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll]

Any song that uses “you and I” when the grammar means that it should be “you and me” - it’s always just for the rhyme.

'Don't Speak' by No Doubt commits the same crime but in reverse, right at the very beginning. Actually, so do The Wannadies in their 'You And I Song' (after it's been corrected!)

[Mumoftwo12345]

'Don't wanna meet your momma, just wanna make you cum-a'

Hey Ya - OutKast

Bleurgh

[cravingthelook]

@MiddleOfThePack I love the lyrics to Hallelujah 😁

[Chipship]

Anyone mentioned Empire State of Mind.....? 'Concrete jungle where dreams are made of'

[Chipship]

And.....'Would you let me see beneath your beautiful, would you let me see beneath your perfect'

Your beautiful perfect WHAT?

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

THERE MUST BE AN ANGEL PLAYING WITH OUT HEARTS

By The Eurythmics.

I’m Scottish so Lennox is worshipped.

Genuinely I’m supposed to believe that they are the most amazing icons of songwriting and production.

“I walk into and empty ro-hoo-hoo-hoom and suddenly my heart goes bo-hoo-hoo-boom”

I hate it as a visceral level

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

OUR HEARTS

even my autocorrect hates it

[timothytoes]

Babybird your gorgeous.


You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an instamatic camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart


Was at work last week and this song came on, haven't heard it in years and was cringing and wincing so much I had to leave the room. Fucks me right off.

@Chipship

And.....'Would you let me see beneath your beautiful, would you let me see beneath your perfect'

Your beautiful perfect WHAT?

I think it's supposed to mean "Let me see beneath the superficial facade of beauty that you show to everyone else", but it always sounds faintly mucky to me. I'd certainly be considering hoofing the guy in the plums if he ever said that to me.

[UsernameNotValid]

"Hey there you with that sad face, come up to my place and live it up"

Roughly translates to "oh you look vulnerable, come home with me and I'll make you feel better about yourself"... I'm no thank you!

[nevergoingoutagain]

Stereophonics....don't know the sing name cos it's so shit.

"She's got a baby in her stomach..." sorry did she eat it???!!

[ncd5785]

Any song (there are definitely a few) containing the words "ain't got nothing"

[WoobyWoo]

That Kelly Rowland song “Stole”. It’s “Stolen” surely?! Infuriated me for that whole summer!

[Judashascomeintosomemoney]

The whole song is bloody awful but the most naff and pretentious lyrics ever written must be
‘As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti’
Africa, Toto. I hate it.

[HappyDinosaur]

'It's not about the money, money, money..." Oh really? You do it for free then do you? Annoying.

[BelfastMaOf2]

Too close by N.E.X.T

Step back, you're dancing kind of close
I feel a little poke coming through on you
Now girl I know you felt it
But boo, you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do
🤢

[RustyBear]

Fleetwood Mac's Dreams (though I first heard it by the Corrs)
'Thunder only happens when it's raining'
No it bloody doesn't!

[Landlubber2019]

Desree; life

I'm afraid of the dark,
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around,

Oh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Utter shite

@NancyPickford

'Power' by Little Mix. Arrant nonsense.

Arrant.

Anyone who uses that fantastic word needs commending!

[TartanDMs]

Miley Cyrus's 4x4 "I'm driving so fast, about to piss on myself"

Also one i heard today on DS's Spotify, which he tells me is by Lil B - "bitches suck my dick cos I look like JK Rowling" I mean, what???

ha ha ha ha classic.

Although, she has a valid point. I'd rather eat toast than see a ghost.

Police, 'Every breath you take'

Stalkerish nastiness.

'Oh, can't you see, you belong to me?'

Turning Japanese by the Vapors


I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all 'round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well

Last line makes me feel nauseous

I knew the v young Ed Bazalgette who wrote that - about wanking (so cringingly not politically correct, refers to involuntarily screwing up your eyes so they appear 'slitty' as you reach the climax), so the 'inside as well' lyrics kind of make sense! He wrote it at school while obsessing about a girl (not me I hasten to add)
