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.

Mygast I was thinking of Simply Red 'Tgd Right Thing' when reading this thread last night. And, like you, it made me feel quite unwell!

Bythepowerof re: the Robert Plant comment. Are you including yourself in that comment? Sorry, but you'll have to get through me first - that Rock God is mine - all mine!! Grin

If you like men with curly hair, one of you could always have Mick Hucknall as a consolation prize? Grin

There is an Enrique one where he just wants to see you cry. I don't know why-yi why-yi I just want to see you cry. Perv.

My DS misheard the lyric to Shape Of You and now we all sing... "last night you were in my room, now my butt-cheeks smell like you"
Which puts a whole new spin on it...

RubbishMantra · 09/04/2017 19:22

Oh God, that "Young Girl" song a PP mentioned! "You'd better run girl".

Was everyone a sex offender in those days? And blamed the children they molested?

Sex is on fire, by kings of Leon is about a sexually transmitted disease.

My ten year old misheard that Ed Sheer an one and it's "last night you were in my room, now my bed sheets smell like poo. ...."

Writermom22 · 09/04/2017 20:00

I thought it was (and sing) "heat between your lips"

But I guess I now know why the radio version is edited out! Grin

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 09/04/2017 20:06

But it isn't writer - that's how we all know it...

Lolly78 · 09/04/2017 20:07

I have the biggest crush on The Weeknd. I'm not sure where it came from all of a sudden, or why (he's so far from my usual type) - but Christ, it's happening. 😳🙊

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 09/04/2017 20:08

Would you still fancy him if he sang that God awful song to you??

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 09/04/2017 20:09

I've just googled images of him. He looks like he takes himself vairy vairy seriously...

CasanovaFrankenstein · 09/04/2017 20:18

A lot of those 50s/60s bands were very young themselves so sometimes the lyrics that sound a bit inappropriate about teenagers - sound less so when that's considered.

NoCapes · 09/04/2017 20:21

The weeknd looks like it should be pronounced the weakened, not weekend

OneOfTheGrundys · 09/04/2017 20:27

Yes, bleugh to the heat and thighs line. Sounds unhealthy.
The Shape of you song... Can't help singing 'last night you were in my room/now my bedsheets smell like pooooo'. Sung to the dogs, mainly. Occasionally the youngest DC.

OneOfTheGrundys · 09/04/2017 20:28

Hehe X post there Paisley. Should've rtft properly Wink

Gideonsangel123 · 09/04/2017 20:44

Google lay down girl by Max Remo.

1984, Alison Moyet, Love Resurrection

Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

We all need a love resurrection, just a little divine intervention

What seed must I sow
To replenish this barren land
Teach me to harvest,
I want you to grow in my hand

more less than innocent 80s lyrics :)

PoorYorick · 09/04/2017 20:50

Totally outing myself here, but I always call him The Weak Kneed.

I hate Give me Everything by Pitbull/neyo

Grab somebody sexy tell em hey...

Tonight I want all of you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know we might not get tomorrow
Let's do it tonight

So just grab a random and expect them to give you everything in case tomorrow never comes. Erm, how about NO thanks Pitbull, I'd rather take my chances!

Lolly78 · 09/04/2017 22:02

I hated the lyric too, then my thing happened and now I kind of like it, but still kind of don't. Which is ..... interesting. I'm obsessed!

Lolly78 · 09/04/2017 22:04

I HATE that my DDs are singing about bedsheets smelling like someone though. So, yeah, I'm a hypocrite 😂

I drunkenly confessed to my (rather posh, white, very proper English husband) that I fancied The Weeknd at a recent dinner party. That killed the convo. Someone clutched at straws saying that hubby and he were a similar ..... height 😂😂😂😂

MorrisZapp · 09/04/2017 22:08

Robert Plant skewered me with nuclear eye contact and a massive smile at the foot of an escalator in Selfridges.

Mungobungo · 09/04/2017 22:34

The one that really makes me feel weird is crowded house fall at your feet:

'I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
An' I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call'

Is he singing about wanking? BOAK
