Hate that cheerleader song

Rufusgy · 13/09/2015 11:22

When I need motivation
My one solution is my queen
'Cause she stays strong
Yeah, yeah
She is always in my corner
Right there when I want her
*All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone"
And they say

[Pre-hook:]
Do you need me?
Do you think I'm pretty?
Do I make you feel like cheating?
I'm like no, not really 'cause

[Hook:]
Oh, *I think" that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her

[Verse 2:]
She walks like a model
She grants my wishes
Like a genie in a bottle
Yeah, yeah
'Cause I'm the wizard of love
And I got the magic wand
All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone

And they say

Hate it, worst song this year IMO. The lyrics are dreadfully awful.

Hate it too, even though I know the words I hear "....found myself a derriere..."!

NotTodaySatan · 13/09/2015 11:27

Oh god it's shite.

The best thing a woman can achieve is to be the prop for a man. Eurgh.

Seabiscotti · 13/09/2015 11:28

Agree. Though, I thought he had found himself a teddy bear.

millionsofpeaches · 13/09/2015 12:42

YANBU it's a load of sexist twaddle. Makes my top lip curl into a snarl!

Rainuntilseptember15 · 13/09/2015 12:47

Agree. Though it's pleasant compared to the "I want to see your booty raw" type stuff also available.

msrisotto · 13/09/2015 12:48

Do yourself a favour and avoid the video.

ToGoBoldly · 13/09/2015 12:50

'Cause I'm the wizard of love
And I got the magic wand'

Hahaha I've heard this song a thousand times but never picked up on this hilarious lyric

lushilaoshi · 13/09/2015 12:53

Ha, I love this song - sure, the lyrics are twaddle and the video is bad, but I like the melody and the bass. You have to take these things with a pinch of salt.

Minion · 13/09/2015 12:53

The worst bit is ' mother likes you too, she thinks I've made the right selection '...Urgh, like she hasn't a choice in the fella and cut the apron strings already.

Curiouserandcuriouser30 · 13/09/2015 12:57

Agreed. Especially hate the bit about the girl being worried that she makes him feel like cheating, because she would clearly be responsible if he made the choice to cheat Hmm

It's damn catchy, though

InQuiteAPickle · 13/09/2015 13:00

It sounds like he's singing "I've found myself a cherryade"!

DD1 loves that song. I hate it!

ShakesBootyFlabWobbles · 13/09/2015 13:06

Waitingfordolly · 13/09/2015 13:06

I hate it too. Glad I'm not the only one. I hate it because of the "she's always there when I need her" - yep, no other life at all. I guess I shouldn't take it so literally. Though I hated that Emili Sande one about her boyfriend always being right next to her and not going to the pub or whatever it was - I thought it sounded like he had no self respect.

Crazypetlady · 13/09/2015 13:22

I hate it along with pharell williams happy...maybe I'm a misery.:P

VodkaJelly · 13/09/2015 15:46

Hate it, turn it off as soon as it comes on, calling your girlfriend a cheerleader is ridiculous, hate it.

Blackcloudsbrightsky · 13/09/2015 15:48

Durge-like tone of voice, awful lyrics and just so wet and bloody IRRITATING!

YANBU!

noddingoff · 13/09/2015 16:14

Oh good, I hate it too.
Mostly for the fact that he views her as no more than a flattering mirror.
Also for the veiled threat: "oh all these girls are hanging off me begging me to shag them but I won't....just as long as my object continues to walk like a model and grant my wishes"
Really want the protagonist to get dumped on his arse.

pointythings · 13/09/2015 16:21

I hate it too, just another shitty song that objectifies women. Grrrr.

Thebirdsneedseeds · 13/09/2015 16:22

YANBU, I detest this song. I can't understand why it's so popular.

AnyFucker · 13/09/2015 16:34

yes, that song makes me feel like punching someone

ilovesooty · 13/09/2015 16:36

Well OP if you hate it, don't listen to it. Or am I missing something here?

CarlaJones · 13/09/2015 16:39

Ha ha at "Found myself a teddy bear" and "derriere"

Blackcloudsbrightsky · 13/09/2015 16:40

It's always on the radio ILS

PurpleSkyatthewateringhole · 13/09/2015 16:41

Waitingfordolly- do you mean 'next to me'? I was under the impression it was god, not a bf.
