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?

The song that irritates me and sticks in I my mind is Sonia - You'll never stop me from loving you.

If it was sung by a man, he would be accused of stalking but it's ok as its a cheesy pop song?

"When I know that you're alone, I wander to your home, and catch a glimpse or two"
"You'll never stop me from loving you, wherever you will go I will follow you"
The whole song creeps me out.

"sometimes the sun goes round the moon"

no it doesnt

Isn't that the point though AJP?

I always thought of it as a 'romantic' way of saying 'sometimes the things I thought were impossible happen'. In that case, he ends up loving her when she didn't expect it.

Most of the top 40 has been absolute trash for the last 5 years at least. Everything sounds the same.

This is the 21st century equivalent of watching TOTP and saying ‘look at his long hair, he looks just like a girl’

A song my DC used to sing at school that went "Love is something if you give it away you end up having more". My inner grammar pedant just couldn't cope.

This morning on radio 2: I drove all night to get to you, woke you from your sleep to make love to you.

Well that's interesting matey, cos you're on the couch tonight and looking after the kids tomorrow while I'm out all night leaving you with the toddler to handle. And I'm taking the car. (still have some work to do to get my improvements to scan)

There's another song. About a"silly can holder!"

All of the Pina Colada song.
She was trying to cheat
He was trying to cheat.
But they ended up on a blind date with each other and it was all ok because they like the same sickly cocktail

The Ariana Grande 'One last time' bugs me more for mispronounced words just to make them rhyme.

I hope you can forgive me
At least just temporaly grrrrrrr.

Don't change English words just cos the proper pronounced word doesn't work with your evil catchy annoying little ear worm of a song!

Animals and children tell the truth,
They never lie (YES THEY FUCKING DO)
Which one is more human?
There's a thought, now you decide. (CHILDREN. BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING HUMAN.)

Like the silly can holdeeerrrrrrrr, like a silly can holdeeeerrrrr, tonight is the night (da da da da da da) so lets put our hands up like a silly can holder. Like a silly can holder."

Aww but Cheerful muddler, it's such a catchy happy song!!

Oh God, and all of The Human League's 'Don't You Want Me?'

But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

OH RIGHT, WELL THAT'S SO ROMANTIC THEN, ISN'T IT? I'm definitely reconsidering my decision to GET THE FUCK AWAY YOU OBSESSIVE CREEP. What part of 'I don't need you' did you not understand?

I know, Mrs DeltaB, but it drives me crazy every time I hear that lyric! The rest of the song is fine!

Like the ceiling can't hold us? Never going to hear that the same way again!

I agree with knottybeams about "I Drove All Night". Bit rapey.

'Feeding the baby, she's all alone'
Not everyone with a baby is sad and lonely and hates it ?! Idk why but it winds me up massively and then she wants to get back with him because now he's a rich musician ? Not likely, she's probably happy with her baby.

@PuppyMonkey lol! Almost everything by Duran Duran is gibberish or pretentious twaddle when you really think about it.

"Concrete jungle where dreams are made of..."

One that annoys me (and has already been mentioned) is one direction and their "cos she belongs to me" line.

There's a lot of lyrics I find awful (I mean kids sing along to these pop songs for God sake) but that one really gets me because having the word "with" instead of "to" would have made no difference to the flow of the song but a much better sentiment in a love song.

Oh, and why does John Lennon crawl off to sleep in the bath? Surely even a Norwegian wood floor would be warmer than the bathtub?

Don't Stand So Close To Me: "he starts to shake and cough, just like that old man in that book by Nabakov" aaarrgghhhhh that is the most pretentious line EVER!!!

'serious as cancer when I say rythmn is a dancer'

Haha @category12 I have semi-serious arguments with my 10 year old dss about that song. I say it's fish and he hates it

One lyric that really bugs me is in a Jason Derulo song:

You’re so sexy beautiful, everybody wants taste, that’s why I still get jealous

So you’re possessive and don’t trust a pretty woman to not sleep around? Great. Bye!
