"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.

DD riffs "butt cheeks" along to that song. Vast improvement imho Grin

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 05/02/2017 21:56

Yes Dorkus but there is 'licking' of foam. Bleurgh.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 05/02/2017 21:58

'frosting' not foam. You confused me.

Either way that's oral sex, right?

UterusUterusGhali · 05/02/2017 22:06

Oh. Blush That cake song makes sense now.

I always mention to DD that cake at the seaside it a terrible idea; it'll get all sandy unless you bring a cake fork etc. and it's too warm at the beach for tea and cake. Ice cream or chips are beach fare.

HateSummer · 05/02/2017 22:13

😱 didn't realise about the cake by the ocean song. Our school made our kids do a dance to that song infront of parents last summer 😱. I know it has the lyrics "and go fucking crazy", but it's edited for radio.

I loved Puff the Magic Dragon when I was a child. I wasn't too traumatised when I figure it out.

Mrsmadevans · 05/02/2017 22:17

What is there to figure out bout Puff the magic dragon pray tell?

ParadiseCity · 05/02/2017 22:20

I hate the shape of you song. So so so much. It's utterly objectifying. Which I point out to DC whenever it's on the radio. Now they hate it too because they know one of mummy's lectures is coming...

Hate the Ed Sheeran song. It's so shallow.

Ken Bruce is always playing Cake by the Ocean. Do you think someone ought to tell him?

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 05/02/2017 22:25

Ken Bruce may well already know...

HateSummer · 05/02/2017 22:26

Ken Bruce? Isn't he a bit old for that song? Sick.

I saw an interview with Ed Sheeran and he was saying the song is about loving someone's body just as they are, that everyone is different and that it's about loving the person you are with and loving whatever shape they are. I thought he was being pretty nice.

pictish · 05/02/2017 22:42

I want to like Ed Sheeran but I'm not convinced as so many of his songs are lame arsed..
Anyway, I was driving home from work last week when a song came on the radio and I thought, "Jesus...who is this? It's absolute shite."
Shape Of You. Ed Sheeran.
Shite.

I'm with Anyfucker, he needs to sort his hair. The ginger combover look is a bit too Trump.

WheelchairDay · 05/02/2017 23:17

I'm always sceptical about these musicians who sing about loving a woman just the way she is, but then use a perfectly shaped woman in the video aka John Legend (All of me, loves all of you!) with his model wife in it naturally, as the one he loves with all her 'imperfections' Hmm, hard to see any.

Ed Sheeran's video of 'shape of your body', with another lovely perfectly shaped/proportioned probably model woman in it. Why don't they use a 'normal shaped woman"? like me, i'm 5ft and 10stone, lovely and shapely. lots to love there Wink

FearTheLiving · 05/02/2017 23:19

wheelchair

John Legend wrote that song for his wife though. So it's only natural for her to be in the video.

WheelchairDay · 05/02/2017 23:27

More so, when said wife is a model. Wink

FearTheLiving · 05/02/2017 23:28

Who I'm sure isn't perfect like the rest of us Shock

WheelchairDay · 05/02/2017 23:39

Ahh! are you are crediting these songs with being inspired by anything more than skin deep? its all about body sadly, all about the body.

user1484750550 · 05/02/2017 23:59

Hate that song too.

Ed is over-rated imo. And Adele too. Both good, but not brilliant. Adele doesn't have a great voice.

Rihanna, although she makes good catchy choons is an AWFUL singer. Only the way she looks keeps her going.

KoalaDownUnder · 06/02/2017 00:08

I am so sick of him.

Yes, even the magical nostalgic Castle on the Hill song. Hmm

BaileysAddict · 06/02/2017 00:10

NO WAY IS THAT ED SHEERAN?!?!?! I thought Ed Sheeran was British?? The singer of that song is very, very American???

BaileysAddict · 06/02/2017 00:17

It's not "magnet do" I think it's "magnitude??" Could be wrong

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 06/02/2017 00:19

Ariana Grande: Side to Side.

I'm talking you,
See you standing over the with your body,
Feeling like I wanna rock with your body
And we dont gotta think about nothing.

Well he's not a fucking floating head love. Ugh
