"We push and pull like a magnet do"

Like a magnet do? Confused

Why not: "I'm in love with the shape of your ARSE,
We push and pull like a magnet does"

It's pissing me off. Angry.

Yeah I meant fling but was also reading a one night stand thread at the same time Grin
If I meet a guy in the club then it's usually his looks that I like first. Personality comes in way later.

Not many songs talk about how kind and intelligent and thoughtful a person is.

Off the top of my head
She had the longest blackest hair, the prettiest green eyes anywhere.

She's got eyes like the bluest sky as if they thought of rain......her hair reminds me of a warm safe place.

My darling you look wonderful tonight.

Not to mention talk dirty to me. Her pussys so fine etc etc

Not one single one of them mentioning anything other than physical characteristics.

HateSummer · 05/02/2017 20:42

Sorry no one likes my "ARSE" and "does" rhyming, but I'm not supposed to be a "genius" song writer am I?!

The man needs English lessons.

Fuckingwall well said! lol

wheelchairday yes probably the same age my dear 1961 here, I feel like an old gel these days and I don't seem to fit anywhere sadly but the mind still feels like I am 16

I was listening to the music in the gym and all the lyrics talked about were bodies; not even if the woman or man was attractive; just a body.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 05/02/2017 20:56

Come one, that's not a new thing!
What about 'if I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?'
Ancient.

'I'm in love with your use of subordinate clauses and your encyclopaedic knowledge of the 19th century novel' would be much better.

SorrelSoup · 05/02/2017 20:58

I think the new thing is that I'm now old and sensible! All these nubile young bodies, with all their ENERGY!!!

HateSummer · 05/02/2017 20:58

Well Justin Timberlake does sing:

"I just love your, brain"

But he really means a BJ. Most songs only talk about bodies, sex or getting high.

Armi : that song possibly exists : 'Wuthering Heights' ?

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 05/02/2017 21:00

Oh yes, Cake By The Ocean is FILTHY Summer !

DorkusDelonghi · 05/02/2017 21:02

Is Cake by the Ocean a euphemism? Or just stupid?

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 05/02/2017 21:03

It is a euphemism. Got stuff about licking frosting ....

sunflowerblue · 05/02/2017 21:08

Wow what's wrong with a bit of lust?!
Pretty sure it's healthy for a man (or woman of course) his age to have strong feelings about physical attraction....

stoopido · 05/02/2017 21:10

I thought it was

I'm in love with shape of you
We push and pull like a magnitude Blush Grin

AliceBanned · 05/02/2017 21:11

I sometimes blithely sing along to these songs as I'm driving.
Teenager in passenger seat: "Do you know what that means, mum?"
Me: "They're planning a picnic near the sea!"
TIPS: "Er, no mum ..."
Well, how was I to know?! Blush

DorkusDelonghi · 05/02/2017 21:12

Nothing wrong with a bit of lust but I draw the line at licking frosting

Why, the very idea!

(not a euphemism)

teaforbreakfast · 05/02/2017 21:12

What does it mean?? I thought it was caved by the ocean!

DorkusDelonghi · 05/02/2017 21:18

What does it mean?? I thought it was caved by the ocean!

It's urban slang for a sex orgy with goats and shaving foam on the beach.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 05/02/2017 21:19

For ages I thought it was cape...which made geographical sense. My children disabused me...

Spam88 · 05/02/2017 21:31

Oh I was certain cake by the ocean must be some sort of euphemism, because people just don't sing songs about having a nice cupcake on the beach do they? Now I know!

Chamonix1 · 05/02/2017 21:33

He wrote it for Rhianna and decided to keep it for himself. God knows why.

AliceBanned · 05/02/2017 21:35

Oh, all us poor innocent mums Halo and our teenagers shaking their heads Grin. Isn't it supposed to be the other way round?!

SuperLoveFuzz · 05/02/2017 21:38

Whatever happened to artistic license people?! I love both his new songs Grin

DorkusDelonghi · 05/02/2017 21:45

Sorry, to clarify, the goat sex shaving foam orgy was a joke, you understood that, right?

Cake by the ocean is just Sex by the ocean. No goats, orgy or foam.
