To get, some might say, far too irate with song lyrics that Make. No. Logical. Sense *screams with rage*

[Tallalime]

Just for example, and it annoys me every time I hear it,

Both Nirvana and Malcolm in the Middle were not big when you were little.

Nirvana was big in the late 80's/early 90's

MitM started in 2000.

Rage

talla good song though! I had a friend who was spitting image of the singer of Ugly Kid Joe.
(we snogged)

Grammatical issues grate the most for me, I'm afraid.

'I know we only met but let's pretend it's love' from 1D. 'Only just met', you muppets! You could have 'I know that we've just met but let's pretend it's love', if you wanted it to scan properly. But no.

...Mama rolling that body, got ev'ry man in here wishin'

sippin' on coke and rum, I'm like 'so what I'm drunk'

It's the freakin' weekend baby and i'm up for havin' some fun

agree sp it's brilliant!

Ahem, thread is about bad lyrics.

I present - "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball'.

Oops I just replied to a post that was on the first of 7 pages

Squeeze:

Cold shoulder
Like a slaughtered cow in a butcher's fridge
Cold shoulder
She had laid the plans where we built our bridge

I suppose not many things rhyme with fridge.
Apart from... widge?

army and language

I love Guns 'n' Roses

but Bad Obsession starts with:
"I called my mother, she's a cunt now"

that's just revolting

"She's a Killer Queen, Gunpowder and Gelatine."

Gelatine? Like what you make jelly out of? I think they meant gelignite.

Oh and another one, that I have to listen to ALL the time because DD loves it, Call me maybe (?)

"before you came into my life, I missed you so bad"

I just... can't even

Most Robbie Williams songs are pairs of "clever" couplets that make no sense together.

Alanis does not know what on earth irony is.

I saw someone with a t-shirt that said "not human, dancer" and I wanted one

I was listening recently to Elvis's "Don't", which I can't recall but seemed to me at the time to actually be a creepy stalker song rather than a love song... "if you want to leave me, don't, I love you and you're mine"

Amy Winehouse is one I've never understood;
' and life is like a pie,
All those pennies rolling up the walls inside'

Where do I buy a money pie?!

Erm. Think it's called "poetic licence".

I'll be back when I can remember lyrics that grate on me, as there are a fair few... This thread has made me laugh!

Jessie J's lyrics are shit and nonsensical every time:

"You're like a shot of pure gold..." What the hell is a shot of pure gold? Is it a drink?

"You're like a laserlight, burning down, burning down, on me"

Right, so is that a good thing? Being burnt by a fucking laser?

Christ, she lives in a weird world.

It's pipe not pie! :o

I love you much, it's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

I am so pleased I am not the only lyrics grammar pedant. For me it is Cecilia - Jubilation! She loves me again/ I fall on the floor and I laughing.
NO PAUL SIMON. "I AM LAUGHING"
I just Googled it and various lyrics sites try to claim it is I am or I'm, but the official Paul Simon site tells the sad truth.

Also there is a Richard Thompson song where he says he was put in jail for his deviant ways for two years seven months and some number of days but then ssys he is too young to vote now he's out - it wasn't really jail then was it if you were only 15?

Not really bad lyric but I always think the woman in Beeswing sounds like a nightmare not a sadly lost love.

Neil Diamond always gets me: "Good times never seemed so good." What, so good you couldn't think of another adjective? Someone hand the man a thesaurus.

Ohhhh wheeee ohhhh wheeee oheeohhh..we are now rockin' wid Will.I.Am and Britney Bitch..

Just an aside..the Neil Diamond song Sweet Caroline was written about Caroline Kennedy when she was eleven. Totally creepy when the lyrics include " touching me, touching you"..

Speaking of Britney, I am not sure she knows what a "poison paradigm" is -- I sure don't.

YES Weener! Those bloody bicycles get me every time. Grrr.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.

So there is sunshine then, glad we cleared that up

“Everything she do just turns me on.”... DOES, Sting. Does, same number of syllables even.

Oops! Thank Fizzog

"So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy"

Her Grandad had to sweat the handbags?! That irritates me every time I hear it!
