AIBU to cringe whenever I hear this lyric? (by The Weeknd)

This one (I Feel It Coming)

Tell me what you really like
Baby, I can take my time
We don't ever have to fight
Just take it step-by-step
I can see it in your eyes
'Cause they never tell me lies
I can feel that body shake
And the heat between your legs

ie the heat between legs. Horrible lyric! I'm sure I am getting prudish in my old age. However, I think of a recent thread (fanjo mist) and still chuckle at same time. But it just makes me think of sweaty non cotton knickers on plastic seats. I'm sure it's meant to be a sexy lyric.
It's not working for me.

Didn't Prince write Sugar Walls?

He did indeed. Which explains a lot.

And I've just looked up what 'cake by the ocean' means. Not singing that at the top of my voice with the car windows down anymore! Blush

Destinysdaughter · 08/04/2017 15:46

What does it mean??

Dolly80 · 08/04/2017 15:49

Doesn't cake by the ocean mean sex on the beach? So, Joe Jonas is trying to be a cool version of the venga boys 😂

Pollyanna9 · 08/04/2017 15:51

Sex on the beach = sand in the vag.

Don't go there I beg of you.

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/04/2017 15:53

lol, Calon!!!!
At the thought of Mary Berry in that way, I just snorted out a bit of halloumi and Jacobs cracker!!!

Re Ed Sheehan 'Shape' I once sung 'and now my spread sheets smell like you.' And cannot get it out of my head now Shock

JonSnowsWhore · 08/04/2017 15:57

Sex on the beach wasn't by the venga boys lol, its T-spoon. Highly inappropriate that it was our holiday song, Benidorm '98.

I was so not old enough for that song haha

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/04/2017 15:57

I used to love the Sugababes, a not even guilty pleasure.
But not this one (Easy)..always had to skip forward.
Ugh...

Engine's running high baby can you come and check it?
Got such a pretty kitty, boy I know you want to pet it
The weather's nice and wet just south of the border
I can cook up anything that you have to order

[Verse:]
Come on baby
I'll make it easy
Come on honey
I'll make it so easy for you

[Chorus:]
Anything that you want boy (you know it got it)
Anytime that you need it (you know I'm on it)
And whenever you're gone boy (I just can't stand it)
You just make me lose my mind

Hey Mr postman where's the mail for my mailbox?
I wanted sex on the beach and I don't mean on the rocks
It's your serve baby but the ball's in my court
I've got a landing strip clear for you at the airport

OP I knew this would be the lyric when I saw your post title!! I love The Weeknd but hate this line. It's super cringey. Get some canesten on that burning fanjo I say! Confused

SapphireStrange · 08/04/2017 16:05

I HOWLED at I thought that song was about working out together at the gym Grin

Ed Sheeran looks like the village idiot.

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/04/2017 16:07

yes Arsenic, along with Sex on Fire or whatever it's called (hate that too)

Spread sheets smell like you!!!!!!!
That's brilliant. I'm having to work on spreadsheets on this lovely sunny weekend :(
I shall embrace them with a smile now.

I don't know the song but I don't have a problem with heat between legs (or smells). I am somewhat turned on by the more visceral though.

BoyFromTheBigBadCity · 08/04/2017 16:13

I love the idea that spread sheets have any smell at all. I'm about to embark on a big. Project of updating a previous spread sheet that is beautifully colour coded. I'm glad it's sexy now Smile

VestalVirgin · 08/04/2017 16:13

Really? You think that's the meaning of that line? What a very skewed view of men

No, sadly, that is a very accurate view of men.

There's enough song lyrics where there is a rape reference that is not open to interpretation. That is what men tell you about themselves.

Do you choose not to believe them? Fine. But don't demand that others do the same.

alltoomuchrightnow · 08/04/2017 16:15

now I did always love The Beautiful South so I loved how they had to clean up 'sweaty bollocks' to Sandra Bullocks for the radio version. It still made me cringe though as at the time, I was an impoverished student working in a kitchen on evening shifts and the chef was always scratching and telling me about his 'sweaty balls'. He looked like Mick Hucknall but double the size (this is when MH was slim) and it was not a nice vision to have

We just had a holiday on the ocean - it was all I could do to restrain myself from suggesting that we eat cake on the ocean as MN enlightened me to that one. such an infantile sense of humour. I just didn't want sand in the cake so we ate in the restaurant

ifcatscouldtalk · 08/04/2017 16:36

OP i can think of a couple of songs with dodgy lyrics but i just love the tune (blurred lines as an example). This heat between the legs song i just dislike. I don't find it catchy and it does make me cringe for some reason more than other songs.

LilacSpatula · 08/04/2017 20:15

Spread sheets are officially sexy

Grilledaubergines · 08/04/2017 20:18

vestal I'm not aware I demanded anything. But seriously, blanket statements about men being rapists is skewed and unhealthy. You obviously have your reasons.

haveacupoftea · 08/04/2017 20:25

Oooh the lyrics to The Weeknds songs are dirty. Have you ever heard the non radio version of Often? It's pure filth and there's a line something like 'girl I can make that pussy rain often' Blush

PrincessJasmin · 08/04/2017 20:39

So....Weeknd isn't a typo then? Blush

I was thinking about this the other day - what sort of messages are kids getting from the songs they hear?

1947
What'll I do?
When I am wond'ring who
Is kissing you
What'll I do

2015
Wonder if you bendin' over backwards for someone else
Wonder if your rollin' backwoods for someone else
Doing things I taught you gettin' nasty for someone else

Embekkisson1 · 08/04/2017 21:06

I was watching the Depeche mode years documentary BBC four last night and it really showed how views and lyrics change over the years . One of the band members ( Martin Gore) was asked in an interview if he thought wearing a dress might be perceived as Pervy . This was in the late 80s and it was so cringey .He looked quite shocked having to explain that he didn't wear a dress to be pervy. Then one of their songs the lyrics were " your only 15 , I need to bring you under my wing, before people get you to do exactly what they want ."

Scottishchick39 · 08/04/2017 21:15

Can't remember who sang it but this one sounds a bit off too.

When your body's had enough of me
And you're laying flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm going to love you a little bit more.

It's like jeez, we've done it for so long I'm in bloody agony, leave me alone 😳😂
