Unintentionally funny lyrics

[BillStickersWillBeProsocuted]

There are a few lines in songs that always make me chuckle, even though I’m fairly sure they weren’t meant to be funny – I thought I can’t be the only one so might make a fun thread!

I thought of it yesterday when Lorde – Green light came on the radio. It has the line:
“She thinks you love the beach you’re such a damn liar” and it’s delivered with such vitriol!
What’s the back story there? She’s clearly very upset with this guy but is that the worst thing he’s ever done? Said he loves the beach when actually when they went he got sunburnt and moaned about sand in his sandwiches and undercrackers?!

Vanilla ICE “If there was a problem, yo I’d solve it” – always makes me think of a David Brent type character who make sure everything running smoothly before announcing “OK, no problems, good. But if there was one…..”
This was my favorte inline in a rap song until Tinie Tempah came out with the incredibly braggadocious "I got so many clothes I keep some in my aunts house"

The last one that springs to mind is Justin Bieber “My mama don’t like you, and she likes everyone” but maybe that one was supposed to be funny?!

I thought this was a reference to the cynical practice of writing a song with a girls name in it, in order to increase sales.

There's a song ( artist unknown) in which the singer is talking/singing/ rapping about how well he treats his girlfriend including going "Late night shopping on a Thursday". Very specific.

One of the black eyed peas songs or Will.I.Am and he says stepping on leprechauns. I'm like 🤔🤣

' I'm Andy and I work at The National Museum '
'Come together ,right now, over me'

She's got a sister
And God only knows how I missed her
And on the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time

What was that song about "it's getting sick on the floor". JLo I think, didn't mean what I heard it to mean!

"...but I won't lose no sleep on that, 'cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do, 'cause I'll never be with you."

Err, so which is it, James Blunt? 🤔

I think the lyric really is "it's getting ill, it's getting sick on the floor" - "sick" meaning something positive in the way the yoof use the word now

I bloody hate that lyric! What's even worse is that it's the first line! What a terrible opener.

No Katie, I haven't ever felt like a plastic bag!

Misheard lyric for brimful of Asha?

I listened to that on R2 driving to work last week, and thought fucking he’ll I could have written better lyrics drunk.

I keep getting posters of lyrics on my FB feed where it says things like “I can categorically tell you it was NOT all yellow”

Timbaland - “I don’t need the cheese or the car keys boy, I like you just the way you are”

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

It's so teenage boy attempt at depth, it's funny.

It's like something a 6 year old would write! Might as well be 🎵🎶the cat sat on the mat / i think it was wearing a hat / whilst holding a cricket bat / but i neeed more time to write some better lyrics🎵🎶

Maybe not super funny but just reminded me.
"She's got a cousin
In fact, she's got 'bout a dozen
She's got one in the oven"

When I was younger didn't know what "one in the oven" meant and I thought "she" was cooking her cousin.

There’s one on the wireless regularly at the moment, “now I’m walkin’ on this water mixed with Johnnie Walker Black. Theres a lot of reasons I ain’t Jesus, but the main one is that I ain’t coming back” makes me laugh every time!

All time favourite, “there’s a bloke works down the chip shop swears he’s Elvis…but he’s a liar and I’m not sure about you”
I think both intended to be funny though!

She’s electric is a banger, but best not to think too much about the lyrics ! ( like so many of Oasis’s songs )

I’m not sure if it’s shit or inspired but there’s a very serious song called Save Button by Cathy Davey which is basically an ode to a PC where she’s forgotten to hit the save button. Always makes me laugh. She pleads with it and threatens it -

‘I don't pour whisky down my neck at night
I don't go binging on the weekend, pass out on the floor
I take good care of you, but you like to attack…
…I'm changing over to a Mac, if you don't give my files back”!

My humps my humps
my lovely lady lumps

“if I get scared, you're always around”

I mean, doesn’t sound great does it.

Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town

Er…the jail?

If I was a sculptor
But then again, no

Come on Bernie, try harder!
