Lyrics that piss me of

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?

My fave is this by the charming jason derulo - 'Dos cadenas, close to genius, Sold out arenas, you can suck my penis'

LanaKanesLeftNippleTassle · 18/10/2017 15:18

Anything by the fucking Pussycat Dolls. Angry

The most man pleasing, misogynistic bullshit I have ever fucking heard.

Even worse coming from women who are embroiled in a culture/industry where they are taken advantage of/abused at every fucking turn.

On a lighter note Shakira's line abou her breasts being "small and humble" makes me crack up, every single time! Grin

"If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake."

Would it have killed them to sing "if I'd known you were coming I'd have baked a cake"?

I loathe Bryan Adams' Run To You.

Also that one about catching feels that sounds like catching fish.

'Everybody wanna steal my girl
... find another one cos she belongs to me'

Fuck off, One Direction. She's not a commodity and can't belong to anyone - or be stolen by anyone.

Newmanwannabe · 18/10/2017 15:26

Arghhhh. I hate "I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral". (One week by bare naked ladies). Makes me cringe. Hate it. trivialising funerals.

FGSholdthedoor · 18/10/2017 15:27

"Baby, I don't care if you've got her in your heart,
All I really care about is you wake up in my arms.
So one last time, I need to be the one who takes you home"

Ariana Grande ugh Envy

goodiegoodieyumyum · 18/10/2017 15:28

Look what you made me do, by Taylor Swift the whole song is awful.

Look what you made me do is what abusers say to victims

morningconstitutional2017 · 18/10/2017 15:29

There's an oldie I hate, Take Another Piece of my Heart, I think it might be by Etta James. The lyrics basically encourage a man to mistreat a woman just because she's got the strength to 'take it' and ' if it makes you feel good'. No, no and bloody no. I know it's from a different era but bloody hell.

MelvinThePenguin · 18/10/2017 15:33

'You could beat me black and blue and I would follow you til the end', or something like that.

I actually had to look it up when I heard it because I couldn't believe these could possibly be the words of a modern, female singer (Betsy). It actually fills me with rage.

Bucketsandspoons · 18/10/2017 15:35

And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid, to give so much more than I get
Yeah I just haven't met you yet

Because you're a needy creep. As for 'you'll make me work so we can work' - er, join hands and cry with the other creep bastard,

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely lonely times
And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind

Which makes it perfectly all right. So just get over all those years of abuse because I'm lumbered with a penis and can't help it, and give me whatever I want and say I need. Now. Because that's what you're for, isn't it?

craftsy · 18/10/2017 15:35

'I remember you're shying away. I'll be coming for your love anyway.' Maybe something is lost in translation but it sounds a bit rapey.

Witsender · 18/10/2017 15:39

The one with the friends getting higher than the empire state... The next lyrics go on to say
"My lover she is waiting for me, just across the bar, my seats been taken by some sunglasses asking about her scar...well, I know I gave it to you months ago, I know you're trying to forget..."

Yadda Yadda. So you're an abusive twat basically?

CatchIt · 18/10/2017 15:42

“Slow hands, like sweat dripping down on dirty laundry”

Excuse me Niall? Has anyone ever actually seen sweat dripping down laundry, dirty or otherwise? No. Because it is a stupid thing to say!!

LanaKanesLeftNippleTassle · 18/10/2017 15:44

Oh god has anyone mentioned "Stand by your Man"??

"You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand"

Just fuck right off.

skilledintheartofnothing · 18/10/2017 15:47

Most songs. Im finding that i cant understand because no one speaks/sings normally.

Dont be afraid to catch fish??
Any singer who pronounces the word you as choo

LanaKanesLeftNippleTassle · 18/10/2017 15:49

Have just remembered the rest of those Shakira lyrics and now am like What??!

"Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains"

In case what?
He needs a compass to navigate them?
They have snow on top??
They contain bears??

Who, even if the woman in question has breasts that Lola Ferrari would be jealous of, would confuse mammory glands with fucking mountains??!

I know it's probably a mistranslation, but still.....

AJPTaylor · 18/10/2017 15:52

"take a look at my girlfriend, not much of a girlfriend"

and
"You are beautiful..... to me......"

BigBrownBoogyinBear · 18/10/2017 15:55

LanaKane (Laaannaaaaa!) I literally had that conversation with a friend last night. "So you don't confuse them with mountains" - jagged and snowy? With enclaves of monks living inside? Well, that's probably why it's a good thing they are small and humble, because monks couldn't live in them if they were too small... Yes, we had been drinking. But it's a valid point!

MagicMarkers · 18/10/2017 15:58

I was in the gym and there was a sort of rap song on and it had a line along the lines of "I didn't know which Spice Girl I wanted to impregnate". Yuck. I don't know who it was.

ijustwannadance · 18/10/2017 15:59

Katy Perry sings
"Don't be afraid to catch feels"
Not catch fish.

The song is called Feels. I think it's meant to be short for feelings.

I hate Little Mix lyrics
" Just coz you're packing, packing, (woops) down south.
Doesn't mean i'm gonna take it lying down"

Bananalanacake · 18/10/2017 15:59

Thanks jarviscock, will watch it on you tube. I also don't like the "throw up in the bath tub" line from that song, why not the toilet.

PoliticallyBlonde · 18/10/2017 16:00

Magic, that's Eminem.

I've just remembered the R Kelly midget in the closet bollocks.

WTAF?

"Holy Shit Snacks!" Grin

Now I have visions of monks doing kung fu on top of giant nipples...

Don't say you're easy on me
You're about as easy as a nuclear war.
