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

"they tried to make me go to rehab, I said no no no"

shame about that

'Man, I feel like a woman' - the title in particular, but also:

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun'

Aye, alright missus. I know it's supposed to be lighthearted - or something - but God it's so trite and does my head in!

Also agree about that 'hot dog, jumping frog' shite. In saying that, removing this line would only marginally improve the song.

I am... I said by Neil Diamond:

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all^
Not even the chair

Stupid.

In their opus "Spice Up Your Life" the Spice Girls made reference to a "yellow man in Timbuktu".
Although it is not impossible there could be a 'yellow person' there, I fear the erstwhile chanteuses may not know where Timbuktu actually is.

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

Is there ever?

@AlbusSeverusMalfoy

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

Is there ever?

Yep. It's actually an annual event in parts of Africa, particularly South Africa and on the mountains of Kenya and Tanzania.

Clearly the songwriters were pretty ignorant.

Google Mount Kilimanjaro. It's snowcapped.

"I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man"

Oh dear, The Beatles

KineticSand · 18/06/2021 18:46

Actually.. the whole song

Well, I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
Or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Well, you know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end, little girl
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch…

I actually like this song by Tom Zinetti and it's on loads at the mo but I think when he says 'the thing I love the most is her time'. Does that mean he loves spending time with her, or what. What is 'her time'.
?

'What we've got is a lot deeper
She do her thing and I do mine
I'm never gonna mistreat her
The thing that I love the most is her time'

If you think that's bad google the lyrics to John Wayne is big leggy by hazy fantazy

Hardly a word in the entire song which isn't offensive

'You're no one until you're somebody to someone'. Just fuck off. Yes, you are someone in your own right.

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 18/06/2021 19:22

There was more of them than us

Take that, the flood.
Fuck off Barlow

Lonelycrab · 18/06/2021 19:39

I’m as serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer

Rhythm can be all sorts of things, could be the seasons, could be a drummer so you can’t say it’s a dancer really. Plus cancer doesn’t even rhyme with dancer you twat.

Oh and

Gucci gang
Gucci gang
Gucci gang
Gucci gang

You’d think that a tune with a billion YouTube hits might actually be worth listening to...

^Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again^

Ugh.

24 hours from Tulsa just gives me the utter rage.. every time... Wanker

@AutistGoth

This might be rather triggering for some. Sorry.

Whenever I hear "And I swear that I don't have a gun" in Nirvana's Come As You Are, I always think to myself: "That was a lie Kurt, wasn't it?"

Oooh, you're going to hell. Grin
dexterslockedintheshedagain · 18/06/2021 20:15

ANYTHING at all if it's mumbled said by Drake

BIoodyStupidJohnson · 18/06/2021 20:26

Back again with more Train. 50 Ways to Say Goodbye. They really are terrible lyricists:

Someday I'll find a love like yours
She'll think I'm Superman, not SuperMinivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?

Er ok then

Sootybear · 18/06/2021 20:31

Generals gather in their masses
Just like witches in black masses,
It so annoys me as it's the same word. Ozzy ( if he wrote the lyrics ) really should have come up with a different rhyming word Grin

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 18/06/2021 20:37

"I'll be loving you til we're seventy".

I always add "and not a minute longer", then feel annoyed.

Tbf, it's the bit I've added which I find annoying.

It's hard living in my head sometimes.

Yes! And I'm a Stones fan!

"Why does it always rain on me,
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?"

No Travis. It's cos your bloody Scottish, that's why!
