Song lyrics that make you think what the hell?

[WhenTheDustSettles]

Hey, Mister DJ (oh-oh-oh)
Play a song for this pretty little lady (oh-oh-oh)
'Cause if she dance as good as she look right now (oh-oh-oh)
I just might, I just might make her my baby
I just might make her my baby, hey

Really Bruno? In 2026? Or have you sneaked into Doc Brown's De Lorean?

”i know you’re just 16, but looking all of 21”(waterfront)

”girl, you’ll be a woman soon” (urge overkill)

”tell me more, tell me more,
did she put up a fight?” (Summer lovin, grease)

so many others from back in the day, all creepy as fuck

“I really must go”….”but baby it’s cold outside”
”The answer is NO”…”but baby it’s cold outside”

”do they know it’s Christmas time at all?” (Actually, no “they” don’t, minority are Christian)

”you can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape my love” (enrique Iglesias)

The lyrics of Fairy Tale of New York that everyone unaccountably loves. Delilah,ditto. Every Breath You Take. I could go on.

The one that always gets me is "All I Want to Do Is Make Love To You" by Heart.

On the surface it sounds like a romantic love song. But it so isn't.

Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity 40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40, 000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40, 000 coming everyday(we can be like they are) Come on baby (dont fear the reaper) baby take my hand (dont fear the reaper) baby I'm your man etc

Blue Oyster Cult - Dont fear the reaper.

Really quite irresponsible lyrics IMO

The Police “Don’t stand so close to me” basically ALL the lyrics.

Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside him, there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking, she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

On a similar vein ….I drove all night by Roy Orbison….basically I got in my car, entered your room and started shagging you while you were sleeping….how romantic

More from The Police, the stalky bastards:

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, baby, baby please
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Suck on my chocolate salty balls, stick ‘em in your mouth and suckem.

Chef from Southpark’s song.

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down ....

Almost 70% of Ethiopians are Christian which actually makes Do they know it’s Christmas even more patronising.

That bloody awful line from “Rhythm is a Dancer”.

Aaaagaaaadoodoodoo push pineapple shake the tree.

WTF

Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba dubai bop, ba duba bop
Ba du, yeah...

That is an absolutely horrible song. I didn't know it but I looked it up on Youtube and I hate it!

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
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
Oh, no
and
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast

"He left no time to regret/kept his dick wet/With his same old safe bet"
Amy Winehouse about her lover going back to the long term partner he was cheating on with her. Yes, it's an incredible song but the pure spite in those lyrics always makes me wince.

That horrible Beautiful South song "don't marry her, fuck me".

I think the inferrence of the line is not that people know the date but more that we are all feasting while those in Ethiopia have no food.

Bob Geldof has said on numerous occasions that the song was shit, but it didn't matter. He wrote in in a few hours and recorded it even quicker. That it was crap was not important.

The Beautiful South "Perfect 10" has the opening lyric "She's a perfect 10, but she wears a 12".

Why? It sounds uncomfortable and badly fitting. It makes no sense and doesn't really imply anything about the person. Just wear the right sized clothes you knob.

Hahaha I was thinking this the other day when it came on the radio-‘oh please you tiny little odd man, make me your girlfriend, I will dance for you!’ No ta.
Then Sara Cox said the exact same thing after the song finished. Just such a dated song.

We use this song in an exercise class and we have all commented that the lyrics are….somewhat misogynistic 😬

Actually Ethiopia is a majority Christian country and was Christian before the British Isles.

"Young ladies, young ladies
I like 'em underage, see
Some say that's statutory
But I say it's mandatory"

Cool, Daddy Cool, by current MAGA and Turning Point USA favourite Kid Rock.

Babybird's "Your Gorgeous", about an aspiring model being exploited and abused by a photographer.

And inexplicably a first dance favourite at weddings.

I assumed he meant shes a '10' as in lovely good looking wonderful person and her size is a 12.
