Words of song that annoy you

[Whingey]

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

"Congratulations and celebrations, when I tell everyone that you're in love with me"

As well as the lack of clarity as to whether it's the 'everyone' congratulating him or (ugh) him congratulating his beloved, who would ever say that in a million years? Yes, you'd congratulate them should they get to their wedding day, but who on earth actually congratulates somebody for falling in love with somebody else; much less somebody else for 'realising the erstwhile error of their ways' and finally falling in love with them ?!

In fact, IIRC, Glen Campbell did release a version of 'the stupid cake song'. The lyrics were still utterly ridiculous, but at least he didn't sound like a yowlering puppy.

That was a lie Kurt, wasn't it?

Im clearly going to hell too, because I always think this. And same for poor Amy missing her rehab.

@MrsXx4 I think the original song was "stick" but they released during the World Cup and for some reason I couldn't stop singing that one!

"I've been to the year 3000. Not much has changed but they live underwater"...

I'd say that is quite a bloody big change, actually!!!

"Creepin' up the back streets 'cos I'm a Jeep"

I'm sorry, but I have listened to those lyrics hundreds of times and I STILL can't make sense of them. Someone make them make sense!

"I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer"

Rhythm Is a Dancer by Snap.

I was a child when this came out but even then I found it , plus it makes no sense.

@Poshjock .. that's the first song that I thought of.. now i can't get it out of my head 😒
Oh no, now that's made me think of that Kylie song 🤦‍♀️

Ah see I love 'hot dog, jumping frog. Albaquerque'.
Hate that song about catching feels but sounds like fish Anunciate for the love of gawd.

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

Best line ever, I always worry they're not going to make it in time, even though they do and it's recorded. It's such a relief.

It's 'watching x files with no lights on', not 'eating dolmio sauce'

@Iecydda

"I've been to the year 3000. Not much has changed but they live underwater"...

I'd say that is quite a bloody big change, actually!!!

This was going to be mine! How can living under water be not much of a change?? I was once so annoyed I worked out the number of greats it would take to be the granddaughter in year 3000, they either missed a lot or each woman had their kid when she was about 150 years old

So I'm the only one who absolutely loves Richard Harris and MacArthur Park........

Macarthur Park should be obliterated from all memory banks of music. It's immaterial who sings it, it's still the most cringeworthy, annoying, ridiculous song ever. It's a love song and the majority of the lyrics is stupid rhymes about cake, take it and bake it. It makes me want to cut my ears off and stuff them in the speakers. It is just so.....yewugh.

"I miss you like the desert misses the rain". The desert doesn't miss the rain though, a rainy place would miss the rain. So does it mean I don't miss you at all?

I love some of these! And I always thought some were deliberately counterintuitive

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albequerque is meant to be ridiculous. The verses around the chorus tell the story of a guy who was a one hit wonder in his youth now doomed to an unfulfilling career singing the awful lyrics to a novelty song

The deserts missing the rain, if it rained all the time it would destroy them but they still want an occasional downpour. I think it is quite a good metaphor for a longed for ex that is actually no good for you.

Also I fucking love the line about seeing a ghost and having a piece of toast. No reason to defend it, just makes me laugh!

I'm one of those people who go on a thread and vehemently disagree with everyone enjoying the discussion aren't I? Bugger

Totally agree about tonight. Bad grammar for no reason. I also offer the hugely creepy

"When your body's had enough of me
And I'm layin' flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more…"

Before I looked it up I thought it was you're laying flat out on the floor which makes it even worse

This thread is comedy gold .

Don’t say you’re easy, oh man
You’re about as easy as a NUCLEAR WAR

Open your eyes, I see your eyes are open.

Opening line of an erasure song-drives me up the wall!

@Iecydda

"I've been to the year 3000. Not much has changed but they live underwater"...

I'd say that is quite a bloody big change, actually!!!

My husband was ranting about this exact lyric this morning before I’d even seen this thread

@Hippopotas

Just thought of another lyric

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

Chimney is slang for a black eye…or so I was told.

Birthday sex - the entire song

Even though the chorus lyrics of that awful Prefab Sprout dirge are meant to be ridiculous, they are still hugely annoying!

Natasha Bedingfield

‘No HYPERBOWL to hide behind’

Hyperbowl? What?! I always imagine producers listening to this while she recorded it, laughing behind their hands at what an idiot she’ll look when it comes out. Meanies.

Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams
“Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe”

It annoys me that she could have used any word to describe the dress and she chooses “nice”. I mean, really?

@weegiemum

"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!

This made me laugh out loud.
