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?

That’s foul.

Let me hear you say Mayo!

Ha ha, you beat me to it. As soon as I hear that line on the radio I switch stations. Both ridiculous and unpoetic.

Nickelback, Rockstar: The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap.

I like that song (and usually sing along ) but I hate that on the radio they bleep out "drugs come cheap" while leaving in "girls come easy" .

She must have been inspired by American Beauty. The next line explains it

😂

It was dopey in the film, and just as dopey in the song.

I don't listen long enough to hear the next line lol.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats o'er hills; what could be finer!
When all at once I felt as one
With an Asda Smart-Price black bin liner

Like in Fairytale of New York, where they invariably bowdlerise or bleep the words that are grossly offensive to gays; but the bit where he calls a woman 'an old slut' is absolutely fine.

It's interesting how nobody ever complained about the original version of that song by Peter, Paul & Mary back in the day, though.

Yep, she says (the motel) "It was a place I knew well". Indicating she'd picked up guys regularly and went there.

As AI says; "singer Ann Wilson sings of a one-night stand with a handsome young male hitchhiker. They make their way to a hotel room to have sex. The lyrics suggest that this may not be the first time the female protagonist has engaged in such behaviors, noting her familiarity with this particular hotel. The song explicitly highlights the sexual prowess of the young man, and his ability to easily and repeatedly bring the female protagonist to orgasm. She leaves a note with instructions for the man to make no attempt to contact her or track her down. It is subsequently revealed that her intent all along was to use the encounter as a way to become pregnant. The lyrics explain later, when she accidentally crosses paths with the one-time lover, that her baby is the result of their tryst and she did it only because the man she is in love with is not able to father children. "

Also she referenced in in the lyrics that the sole intent was to get pregnant with the planted the seed bit, so it shows she knew and intended on pregnancy;
"I told him I am the flower, you are the seed
We walked in the garden, we planted a tree"

She wasn't after sex for sex sake, she was desperate to become a mum.

Pepsi and Shirlee getting hot under their leather collars for two lazy blokes who CBA to work.

Give a wham give a bam but don't give a damn 'cos the benefits gang are gonna pay.

Great catches!

I heard this one on local radio this morning

One night I saw them kissin' at a party (a party)
So I kissed some other guy
Johnny jumped up and he hit him
'Cause he still loves me, that's why
Now it's Judy's turn to cry
Cos Johnny's come back to me

They should both kick Johnny into touch as he's no catch either.

What rubbish 1960s teenagers were fed.

Yep, that song's lyrics were worrying! I remember reading in Smash Hits (what? I was 15 at the time 😄) an admission by George Michael that being on the dole wasn't quite as glam as he'd painted it, but I do wonder if any of the yoof of the time took it seriously.

Bill Wyman, (Si Si) Je Suis Un Rock Star

We could go on the hovercraft
Across the water
They'll think I'm your dad
And you're my daughter

On it’s own creepy but not massively dodgy, age-gap relationships can be legal and he was 44 when this was released in 1981, so even half his age would be early 20s.

Creepy AF when you realise that 3 years later he started dating a 13 year-old.
