Words of song that annoy you

[Whingey]

Why does rain fall from the sky. What else would it do?

@Gullible2021

I went years listening to Pink Floyd 's The Wall thinking they said " no dogs or cats are in the classroom... "! (Should be 'dark sarcasm')

@DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat

Slowly walkin' down the hall Faster than a cannonball

I mean, what? Are you going slow or fast? Which is it Noel?

Isn't it "Saw you walking down the hall"?

"She smiled at me on the subway, she was with another man" er yeah, she was smiling nervously cos some weird creepy bloke was staring at her. The whole premise of this song is weird and creepy.

Neil Diamond’s “Play Me”. Gorgeous song, ruined by terrible grammar.
“songs she sang to me
songs she brang to me
words that rang in me
Rhymes that sprang in me…”

Brang?! What was he thinking? Ok, the songs she brought wouldn’t rhyme, but the next two lines do!

Isn't it "Saw you walking down the hall"?
Not according to Noel Gallagher:

In a 2009 interview, Gallagher told the following anecdote:
‘This writer, he was going on about the lyrics to "Champagne Supernova", and he actually said to me, "You know, the one thing that's stopping it being a classic is the ridiculous lyrics." And I went, "What do you mean by that?" And he said, "Well, Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball — what's that mean?" And I went, "I don't know. But are you telling me, when you've got 60,000 people singing it, they don't know what it means? It means something different to every one of them’

Oh, the lyrics to Young Girl. Very disturbing

"Doctor's orders say
There's only one thing for me
Nothing he can do
'Cause only you can cure me

Says in my condition
Love's the best physician
He's prescribed a potion
Full of warm emotion"

Urgh.

Tell me why—y
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Just … first of all, what? What way does he not want her to say she wants it? And why does he require anyone to tell him why he doesn’t want it?

But ALSO, just as importantly, the Why—y bit makes him sound SO intensely punchable

All the lyrics of "True " by Spandau Ballet. WTF are seaside arms?
(FWIW I was a Duranie in the 80's).

'Hot dog jumping frog Albuquerque.'
Fuck off

I drove all night to get to you
Crept into your room woke you from your sleep
To make love to you

Breaking and entering and rape ? Nice one Roy Orbison

In Roy's defence I think he did say 'is that alright?'

Someone left a cake out in the rain

I don’t wanna see a ghost id rather have a piece of toast

If you receive your calling before i awake help me make it through the night

The "I don't want clever conversations" from Just the way you are.

Alanis Morisette's examples of irony are in fact bad luck.

Any time the phrase 'set you free' is used I feel my skin crawl

That one from Hey Duggie that goes "kick kick kick kick kicky kicky kick kick" over and over! It's such an earworm!
Arrgh! Now I'm singing it to myself!!

Drive By by Train:

Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy, looking for a two-ply Hefty bag
To hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mhmm the way you do me

It's like they had a tune all ready to go and 15 minutes on RhymeZone indiscriminately hunting for 'that'll do' rhymes.

Oooh also Vertigo by U2:

Uno, dos, tres, catorce!

Catorce is 14 in Spanish. So he's singing 'one, two, three, fourteen'.

Just like his wife before she freezed on him - Kate Bush, Babooshka

The man with the suit and the face - Spandau Ballet, Gold. Well that narrows it down!

@Ihopeyourcakeisshit

'Hot dog jumping frog Albuquerque.' Fuck off

YES

Sean-a-Paul, Sean-a-Paul

Or

Anything where they rhyme a word with the same word

@everywhichway

That dreadful line about Kilimanjaro rising like a memphis from the Serengeti. It's not even in the Serengeti!

Memphis?

It rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

Only neither Kilimanjaro nor Olympus can be seen from the Serengeti (unless it's a very clear day and you are in the basket of a hot air balloon with a telescope, apparently).

As much as I enjoy Marc Bolan and T Rex, I think some of the lyrics are absurd. I wouldn't say that they annoyed me, but they make me a bit confused. Having said that, Marc Bolan was very talented and his premature death was an awful loss.

I'm Blue, Da Ba Dee, Dab-a-Dye on the other hand. What does that even mean??
