Lyrics that piss me of

[Fishface77]

I've just heard a song and one of the lyrics goes along the lines of

"....and we make love right there on your best friends couch...."

This has pissed me right of!

1. Why on your best friends couch?
2. Stains? Do you think they put a towel down first?
3. Smell? We can all smell sex!
4. What if he walks in on you?

"Got your lipstick mark still on my coffee cup"... Yes, Take That, that's why she left you, do the bloody washing up!

"The alphabet runs right from A to Zed". All Saints stating the obvious (and nothing to do with the rest of the song) as they clearly couldn't think of anything else to rhyme.

I also think "you say it best when you say nothing at all" is basically a fancy way of saying 'shut up'.

The Killers is Are we human or are we dancer.
Something to do with Hunter S Thompson saying America was raising a nation of dancers.

There was a Justin Beiderbecke song recently about a girl that didn’t have a bed frame, cable tv or a table - most odd.

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag..."... Firework by Katy Perry

I think this has to be the one that annoys me the most. It reminds me of when I had hyperemesis and carried a supply of plastic bags everywhere to catch my vomit....

Do you ever feel like a lost balloon or a feather or fluffy cloud or hummingbird or a falling leaf or anything else that drifts through the wind......but plastic bag just sounds shit to me.

Cool for the summer "don't be scared cause I'm your body type" are other body types supposed to SCARE me?

"Cause pussy is pussy and all pussys alike" really snoop? Wanna bet?

ALL of shaggy "wasn't me"

"Young girl, get out of my life
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl"

Just, yuck!

The whole of "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" is kind of a slap in the face.

Also, I'd be very offended if anyone dedicated "My Funny Valentine" to me!

These are pretty mild compared to the modern stuff with all the F bombs, but I've been avoiding pop for decades now, so I wouldn't know!

You're everything a woman ought to be, sweet and kind and pure of mind and beautiful to see

Boris gardener - cant remember the title. Obviously not looking for intelligence, wit, charm etc - ffs!

A little less conversation
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

I HATE this song. Everyone seemed so caught up in the fact it was a new dog by Elvis that they failed to notice the lyrics are vile.

*song not dog

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Oh God l agree Steak had forgotten that little gem and l always remember the 'satisfactioning' going through every pedantic nerve. Also my exhibition who was a twat loved it

exhibition ?? exh obviously. Bloody phone.

Steaksauce - I came on to mention the exact same song. Elvis Presley, misogynist arsehole. The lyrics to 'A Little Less Conversation' are foul - basically translates as 'Stop talking woman, and suck my cock'. He clearly had a horrible view of women as empty man-pleasing vessels who shouldn't have a brain or an opinion.

Rod Stewart first cut is the deepest
‘I’ll try to love again’
Don’t bother mate if it’s that bloody hard. I’m sure womankind will manage just fine

Dustysparrow So because Elvis sings one song that you find misogynistic, you think you can judge his entire personality. What a joke.

The original shakira Suerte lyrics just say that her breasts are small Fudge

‘Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños
y nos los confundas con montañas’

Think she just added humble in the English version for the extra syllables lol 😂

Stand by your man
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man.
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
Sounds like her man was a twat if she wrote this song

Also
In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer
So I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her
She said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter
And here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman
Who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused
He looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shakin'
His big heart was breakin'
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children
And a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us
I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talkin' at all
She was a beauty
But when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I could'nt hold her
'Cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children
And a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
What a first class BITCH.

Agreed about Elvis, Clawdy! (As in "Lawdy Miss Clawdy"?) He didn't write his own songs, so I'm not sure how much we can hold him responsible for their lyrics. Although, being of an older generation than probably anyone here, he might well have held opinions that would cause raised eyebrows on mumsnet.

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand....like f**k I will

Dustysparrow very harsh eh? Clearly NOT an Elvis fan or you'd know that he treated women very well!

There's been a duet of I Drove All Night playing on Radio 2 loads recently. Apart from the rapey creeping into rooms in the middle of the night it doesn't make any sense as a duet. If they are each driving to get to the other (and presumably some distance if they have to drive all night) they're going to be really disappointed to get there and find an empty bed. Try calling first perhaps.

Jolene.
Now I love Dolly and I actually have this on my playlist but every single time I'm thinking HAVE SOME FUCKING SELF RESPECT.!! Irrational I know. lol

All those creepy 'sixteen' songs sung by much older guys. Teen DS is listening to a lot of 50's and 60s at the moment. Those songs were BAD! Who fucking cares if Sue goes out with different guys?

Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!

That would be:

^Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King.^

Never part of the National Anthem, and back in 1745 when it was current, lowland Scots would have agreed with the sentiment as they were not rebels, and in fact were invaded by them.
