NFT: Lyrics that make you cringe?

Route 9 in LEH : 3/27/2015 8:48 am
First things first, I'm not looking to get into a debate about true lyrics meaning and I'm not looking for those nitpicky lyric correctors. We will save that for another day and for a misinterpreted lyrics thread. Moving on, every single time I hear that stupid "Take Me to Church" song at work, an annoying chill rushes up my spine when I hear the " that looks tasty. That looks plenty."...man... that might be the worst thing I've ever heard in a song, and that is saying a lot...or very little

You?

She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early Spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away

Those lyrics are the WORST lyrics EVER!

Quote:
Yeah, I like it when the girls stop by
In the summer
Do you remember?
Do you remember
When we met that summer...
Chorus 1:
New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the
Summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear abercrombie and fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
Since that summer
Hip-hop mama layed spic & span
Met you one summer and it all began
You're the best girl that I ever did see
The great larry bird, jersey 33
When you take a sip, you buzz like a hornet billy
Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me willy whistle cause I can't speak baby
Somethin' in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad left one
Day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home
Mccaullay culkin wasn't home alone
Fell deep in love, but now we ain't speakin'
Michael J. Fox was alex P. Keaton
When I met you I said my name was rich
You look like a girl from abercrombie and fitch
Chorus 2
New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the
Summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear abercrombie and fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
Since that summer
Cherry pez, coke, crush rock, stud boogie
Used to hate school, so I had to play hookie
Always been hip to the b-boy style
Known to act wild and make a girl smile
Love new edition and the "candy girl"
Remind me of you because you rock my world
You come from georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip-hop and rock & roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
There was a good man named paul revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry coke
I like the way you laugh when
I tell a joke when I met
You I said my name was rich
You look like a girl from abercrobie and fitch
Chorus 3
New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the
Summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear abercrombie and fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
Since that summer
In the summertime girls got it goin' on
Shake and wiggle to a hip-hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
Boogaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man mr. Limpit
Think about that summer and I bug cause I miss it
Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Call you up, but what's the use
I like kevin bacon, but I hate footloose
You came in the door I said it before
I think I'm over you, but I'm really not sure
When I met you I said my name was rich
You look like a girl from abercrombie and fitch
Chorus 4
New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the
Summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear abercrombie and fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
Since that summer
In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worthwhile and some are so so
Summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worthwhile and some are so so
Summertime girls got it goin' on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
Chorus 5:
New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls
Stop by for the summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear abercrombie and fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
Since that summer

Let's have a party! haha....my wife loves that song, unfortunately.


Looking at this from a slightly different angle.....are there any songs you enjoy that have lyrics that you find disturbing? I absolutely love the song Tyler by the Toadies, but if you actually pay attention to the lyrics, they're VERY disturbing. It's about a guy stalking a girl and breaking into her home.

Quote:
I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, pour myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath
I stumble in the doorway, outside her bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door
I will be with her tonight
If your going Toadies  
YAJ2112 : 3/27/2015 9:19 am : link
how do you not go Possum Kingdom for disturbing?
Yes

Possum Kingdom's not really that bad  
Greg from LI : 3/27/2015 9:22 am : link
Possum Kingdom's actually about a vampire - that's his "dark secret", and why he promises the girl she'll stay beautiful forever. It's actually kind of a goofy supernatural song. Tyler is realistic and frightening.
Almost anything by Bush

Rancid's L.A. River  
St. Jimmy : 3/27/2015 9:29 am : link
Overall, it is probably one of the better songs on the album, but the chorus is just laughable:

LA River dragnet coming down
Boom shacka lackalackalackalackalackalacka Boom
Shimmy Shimmy Shake Shimmy Shake Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy

LA River dragnet coming down
Boom shacka lackalackalackalackalackalacka Boom
Shimmy Shimmy Shake Shimmy Shake Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy

When you hear it, the first thought is they actually thought this was a good idea? When I need a laugh, I'll listen to this song.

I never got a vampire vibe from Possum Kingdom  
YAJ2112 : 3/27/2015 9:49 am : link
though now that you say it I can see it. I always pictured it being a murderer who was going to preserve his victim's corpse as his "blushing bride" in his little Possum Kingdom world by the lake.

Jon : 3/27/2015 9:53 am : link
is ranting about?

"I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields
If I treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn't love you more
You got a beautiful taste"

"I'm screaming daisies
From 14 miles away
I've got my own time
Got it all today"

"Tied to a wheel, our fingers got to feel
Bleeding through a tourniquet smile
I spin on a whim, I slide to the right
I felt you like electric light ?"

"There must be something we can eat
Maybe find another lover
Should I fly to Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother

Mickey mouse has grown up a cow
Dave's on sale again
We kissy kiss in the rear view
We're so bored
You're to blame

Try to see it once my way
Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so

Rain dogs howl for the century
A million dollars at stake
As you search for your demi-god
And you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence
Try to see it once my way
Everything Zen
Everything Zen
I don't think so"

Quote:
Ooh, yeah yeah, I'm wishin' on a fallin' star
Wonderin' where you are, I wish


Wish for you on a falling star, wondering where you are
Do I ever cross your mind in the warm sunshine?
She's from the City of Angels like Betty Davis, James Dean, and Gable
Never know what she means to me, I fell for the girl that's on TV


Met her at a counter affair
She wore a green dress and everybody was there
Felt out of place
Till she looked into my eyes


Shook your hand around 9 p.m.
And I'm never gonna be the same again
Never had to be on a movie screen
To be the leading lady in all my dreams


Shooby-doo-wop and scobby snacks, met a fly girl and I can't relax
The only problem is she's a movie star, oh
My friends, they won't believe me if they could only see me
At the risk of soundin' cheesy, I think I fell for the girl on TV


Wish for you on a falling star, wondering where you are
Do I ever cross your mind in the warm sunshine?
She's from the City of Angels like Betty Davis, James Dean, and Gable
Never know what she means to me, I fell for the girl that's on TV


Everybody knows her name
I wanna take a picture and they're glad she came
But I just wanna be there when she's down, down
(Be there when she's down)


I don't want her autograph
I just wanna call her up and make her laugh
Never had to be on a movie screen
To be the leading lady in all my dreams


Shooby doo-wap and scooby snacks, I met a fly girl and I can't relax
The only problem is she's a movie star, oh
My friends, they won't believe me if they could only see me
At the risk of soundin' cheezy, I think, I fell for the girl on TV


Wish for you on a falling star, wondering where you are
Do I ever cross your mind in the warm sunshine?
She's from the City of Angels like Betty Davis, James Dean and Gable
Never know what she means to me, I fell for the girl that's on TV


(Wish for you on a falling star)
I'm wishing on a star and I'm wonderin' where you are
(Wondering where you are)
Do I cross your mind in the warm sunshine?


Yeah, so I wish for you on a bright shining star
Every where I look, there you are, there you are
It's the girl in the green dress, she took my breath away
And now I look to the sky for a better day


To the beach shore and scooby snacks
I met a fly girl and I can't relax
Never had to be on a movie screen
'Cause she's the leading lady in all my dreams, come on


Wish you on a falling star, wondering where you are
Do I ever cross your mind in the warm sunshine?
She's from the City of Angels like Betty Davis, James Dean and Gable
Never know what she means to me, I fell for the girl that's on TV


Wish for you on a fallin' star, wonderin' where you are
Do I ever cross your mind in the warm sunshine?
She's from the City of Angels like Betty Davis, James Dean and Gable
Never know what she means to me, I fell for the girl that's on TV


On TV, I wishin', I wishin' away

Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away

The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
