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?

Oh and on the subject of Katy Perry, that reference to Jeffrey Dahmer in Dark Horse makes me a bit sick in my mouth every time I hear it

Ellie Goulding Love Me Like You Do

'I can't see clear no more'

Do you mean that you can't see clearly anymore?

Abracadabra - ‘black panties with an angel’s face’. Envy Angry
Money for Nothing - ‘the little faggot with the earring and the make-up’. Angry
Centrefold. All of it. Angry

Not a pop song, but there's a country and western song with the line: "You may not know me good, but you know me good enough." It's well for god's sake. And it's in the middle of the sentence, so you could replace the word without any rhyming or scanning problems!

Ohyesiam · 18/10/2017 22:37

"Pavlovian* you are talking my era,
All those lyrics gave me the serious rage too.
Aaaaaaargh!

midnightmisssuki · 18/10/2017 22:39

Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers (what even does that mean!?)
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes Shock
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can

Smile

I also hate More Than Words by Extreme. Which basically says fuck me now or the relationship is over. Grrr again!

I thought I was the only one that got that! Everyone thinks it's such a beautiful song but it's not, it's awful.

Off.

Pissed off. As in away.

Not 'of' as in "belonging to or from"

[apologies for being a pedantic twat. I'm otherwise adorable, promise...] Blush

NorthStarAtMyFeet · 18/10/2017 22:51

Celos by Andy & Lucas, I listened to it thinking "red flags!" some of the lyrics translate as "I don't deny I'm jealous but if I am it's because I love you" cracking choon though, if a little melancholy.

HarmlessChap · 18/10/2017 23:05

I spent far too much time in the 90's in clubs dancing and Outhere Brothers, Boom Boom Boom makes me cringe albeit there was a TV & Radio edit where the lyrics were changed to something clean.

If I can not sleep with you, maybe I can have a taste.
Put your 'nani on my tongue and your booty in my face!

Errr no...

Sunnysidegold · 18/10/2017 23:07

That bon appetit song by Katy Perry. All of the words in it.

Also:
Young girl, get outta my mind
My love for you is way out of
better run
you're much to young girl.

I get really annoyed as well by little kids singing along to any of the filth that's on the radio.

Holliewantstobehot · 18/10/2017 23:18

Ed sheeran - I'll be loving you until we're 70. We always then sing - then I'll dump you for someone younger.

DesdemonasHandkerchief · 18/10/2017 23:22

The Police freely admit Every Breath You Take is stalkerish. I saw an interview with Sting where he said he’d had loads of people tell him it was the first dance at their wedding and he was thinking Hmm, ‘You’ve obviously never listened to the lyrics!’

ClementineWardrobe · 18/10/2017 23:26

Every single word to that repulsive song by stooshe called Black Heart. Every time I see another news item about about a woman murdered by her partner I think of that poxy song.

Also hate 'Bobbys Girls'. 'what a faithful thankful girl I'd be.' fuck off love

I hate the living years line
I thought I heard his echo in my babies newborn tears'. Barf.

BaggypantsCrimplesnitch · 18/10/2017 23:28

'Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it...'

Yes! This! Typical bloke - it's the lyrical equivalent of telling your sobbing girlfriend who says she's waiting for an apology, "OK, I'm sorry you feel this way".

RunYouJuiceBitch · 18/10/2017 23:33

"When you hear this in the club, you're gonna turn that shit up."

Well, no. As a patron of the club, I have no direct control over the volume of the music played there.

DesdemonasHandkerchief · 18/10/2017 23:33

Midnight isn’t it ‘not like strangers’ - or have I just been hearing what I think it should say!
Holli totally agree on the ‘till we’re seven-ty’ lyric, hilarious 😂 He’s only 20 something, 70 is probably as far as he can envisage. Would have been so easy to change it to ‘for eterni-ty’ as well.

WorraLiberty · 18/10/2017 23:36

Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield.

"4am in the morning, carried away by a moonlight shadow"

What? As opposed to 4am in the afternoon?? Confused

Ghostontoast · 19/10/2017 00:01

Ha, Mike Oldfield is not known for great lyrics!

I loathe "I've got a little something for ya" by MN8
I imagine that little something to be genital warts or chlamydia.

RunYouJuiceBitch · 19/10/2017 00:07

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.

You obviously don't understand what he means. You soon will.

JustPutSomeGlitterOnIt · 19/10/2017 00:13

'If I got locked away,
We lost it all today;
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?'

No! I'd be FUCKING livid!

chipmonkey · 19/10/2017 01:44

The lyrics to "Mr Bright Side" Reminds me of all the morbidly jealous control freaks I've known.

Oh and this gem:
"Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel"

What does that even mean?

Esssa · 19/10/2017 02:22

Many but at the moment Taylor Swift 'look what you made me do' seriously fucks me off. No love, you are in control of what you do. Argh! Have to turn the radio off.

2sCompany · 19/10/2017 02:31

"Are we human, or are we dancer?"

Absolutely bloody hate that song. That line makes no sense and the melody is terrible.
