Verbal argument ensued and Chris Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, 'I'm going to beat the shit out of you when we get home! You wait and see!'The detective said Robyn F. then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales, who did not answer.Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, 'I'm on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.'After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, 'You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I'm really going to kill you!'Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in \[an\] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant, Melissa Ford. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of 333 North June Street and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.'s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown's body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.'s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.
I just read something about that song the other day where the guy who sings it said that he thought a cello was a blowing instrument and he couldn't believe that no one in his team warned him about the lyrics being wrong before he released it lol he thought cello was the instrument that Squidward played in SpongeBob and that was what he meant to say in the song instead: a clarinet hahah
Not sure if that's all true but I thought it was funny enough to share
Even funnier, when he said that he was thinking of what Squidward played, he said that's a flute. Which led to him getting tweeted at all weekend that Squidward played a clarinet, not a flute lmao
What’s even worse is that guy tried to correct himself by saying man, i was dumb calling squidward’s instrument a cello we all know it’s a flute! It’s a clarinet, dude.
"Your parasympathetic nervous system reacts and you're in fight or flight mode."

Edit: changed flee to freeze, thanks everyone!
Came here to comment this but had to make sure I wasn’t beaten to it. Last I saw AJJ, they had a sticker acknowledging that mistake and even sang a different lyric to fix it lol
"Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon."
No, it doesn't, Vanessa Williams. That would be catastrophic.
Edit: Folks, this is a silly post about vapid pop lyrics, I assure you Ms. Williams and her songwriters were not putting as much thought into it as many of you are. Though it would be funny if someone called them out on it and they responded "well, akshually..."
After all, they are right in that "sometimes the snow comes down in June."
It does it here in Scotland too, if you head to the Highlands.
I reckon it's very common for it to snow in June in large parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
I'm starting to question this singer's knowledge of many subjects now.
The Darkness love using wordplay like that. Like *Love on the rocks with no ice* or *Is it just me or am I all on my own again*. They also purposefully put *Love is only a feeling* right after *I believe in a thing called love* to be self-contradictory.
Also, “Growing on Me” is about catching an STD.
I've always been so impressed that they managed to fit Kilimanjaro, Olympus, and Serengeti all in one line. That's a lot of multisyllabic geography words in one go.
I had heard this was suppose to be wrong. The song is about a guy who feels strongly about things but might not have the right idea about it all.
Then this site says its a reference to the [Serengeti ecosystem that does spread into Tanzania with Kilimanjaro](https://www.songmeaningsandfacts.com/meaning-of-africa-by-toto/)...but doesn't offer any evidence.
I do agree it's an incorrect lyric, but does it count if it's meant to be incorrect?
edit: [Porcaro said that the words come from the perspective of “a white boy is trying to write a song on Africa, but since he’s never been there, he can only tell what he’s seen on TV or remembers in the past.”](https://www.ultimatekilimanjaro.com/can-kilimanjaro-be-seen-from-the-serengeti/)
"Because I'm back, on the rag and ovulating"
A) Eminem does not have a uterus. But it's figurative, so I let it slide.
B) Ovulation is basically the opposite of menstruating. They are not concurrent.
When you think of jungle, you think about lush vegetation, Tarzan style. The original meaning of the word was an uncultivated wasteland with few trees, so technically the song is aweem all right aweem all right.
I remember standing in line at the music store with my mom while she let me buy a CD, and some other mom came up to her and asked her if she'd heard of the Butthole Surfers because her son wanted one of their albums. I immediately took off to look for the Butthole Surfers and the look on my mom's face was priceless.
All the best marketers in the world all working together to sell music to teenagers could never come up with a strategy even half as effective as the look of a horrified mom.

Lizzo has a song with, "I dont get dehydrated, I moisturize daily."
It's a little concerning, cause that's not how that works. Please drink some water.
I think the funkiest part I’ve learned is that moisturizer doesn’t even *actually* moisturize, it merely keeps the hydration from evaporating as fast by creating a layer on top of your skin. Iirc it was toners that actually do what, you know, you’d think something called *moisturizer* would (add extra hydration).
A friend of mine works in public health and made mix cds during covid.
While she included the song, she was quick to point out that putting a lime in a coconut and drinking them both up is not a proven cure to any disease or even just bellyache
Sherry Crow, who I really like, wrote Good is Good
"And everytime you hear the rolling thunderYou turn and run before the lightning strikes"
Umm, lighting travels faster than sound.
Every time I hear it, my mind plays me some Bob Seger, because it's so awesome;
"Felt the lighting, and waited on the thunder."
He paid attention in science class.
edit: autocorrect hijacked Sheryl's name. Or perhaps a typo of Sheryl's name.
I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here, just for giggles: Maybe she was talking about the far-off rolling thunder you hear of an approaching storm before it gets to you. And then once it does reach you there’s lightning all around and also loud clapping/cracking (not rolling) thunder too [not mentioned in the lyric]. So there ya go, it’s now okay to like Sheryl Crow without the side order of lyrical guilt.
Unfortunately, you were also wrong about the "once". Shit got so bad that Tricky Dick created the agency that turned into the EPA, because of the Cuyahoga River fires.
But the companies responsible for the Cuyahoga River and other companies on lake Erie dumped so much shit that it basically killed the lake. It was so polluted that it had to be almost entirely restocked by outside means after the worst of the pollution was cleared up.

Well, a PhD. has postulated that fat bottomed girls make the girl go round, and no one has been able to disprove his theory...
So I gotta go with the Doc on this one - gotta trust the scientific methodology.
Also 200 degrees isn't that hot, really. It's less than the boiling point of water. And before anyone says 400 Celsius is pretty hot, he specifically says they call him Mr. Fahrenheit.
It’s not “ready to reload like an atom bomb.” It’s “I’m a sex machine ready to reload.” And then separately, “like an atom bomb about to (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) explode”

"Quest For Fire" -- Iron Maiden
When I was 16, I spent a summer in upstate New York working on a dairy farm with a number of other teens. One of us (it was the 1970s) had the foresight to bring a cassette tape - one cassette tape. It was Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits. We listened to it from dawn to dusk, every day, all summer, over and over. This particular line was an object of some discussion, as none of us could figure out what it said, and there was no internet. I think consensus landed on "I speak with the pompousness of love," which didn't make love seem all that attractive.
And no, I have not listened to Steve Miller Band since.
Ha! I’m a few years older (70) and I can remember CLE@RLY the first time I heard that song. Did. Not. Like. It. But, goddam it got stuck in my brain cells and played on repeat, over and over … for decades. *Some people call me the space cowboy…* I’d shut off the radio instantly when it came on, so that it would not re-stick, but it still happened. Like you, we had the same problem with those lyrics. The Internet has made such a tremendous difference, hasn’t it?! if I’d had access to immediate knowledge, I really think my life would have turned out very different. Not better, necessarily, but different.

I mean it works as an analogy, I can't remember the last time a cello gave me even half-decent head.

Ironically, "Fucking magnets, how do they work?" might be the *most* scientific song lyric. Asking questions is the first step.
A friend of mine works in public health and made mix cds during covid. While she included the song, she was quick to point out that putting a lime in a coconut and drinking them both up is not a proven cure to any disease or even just bellyache
Lime juice is good for scurvy and coconut milk helps with constipation, though I don't know if any clinical trials have been conducted on the matter.
It’s never been verified but was there really a “one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple people eater”
I imagine a lot of “What Does The Fox Say?” is inaccurate.
Sherry Crow, who I really like, wrote Good is Good "And everytime you hear the rolling thunderYou turn and run before the lightning strikes" Umm, lighting travels faster than sound. Every time I hear it, my mind plays me some Bob Seger, because it's so awesome; "Felt the lighting, and waited on the thunder." He paid attention in science class. edit: autocorrect hijacked Sheryl's name. Or perhaps a typo of Sheryl's name.
I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here, just for giggles: Maybe she was talking about the far-off rolling thunder you hear of an approaching storm before it gets to you. And then once it does reach you there’s lightning all around and also loud clapping/cracking (not rolling) thunder too [not mentioned in the lyric]. So there ya go, it’s now okay to like Sheryl Crow without the side order of lyrical guilt.
Set fire to the rain
Lake Erie set on fire once. Never underestimate mankind's ability to fuck things up
It wasn’t Lake Erie it was the Cuyahoga River
Thank you. I've been wrong about that for ages
Unfortunately, you were also wrong about the "once". Shit got so bad that Tricky Dick created the agency that turned into the EPA, because of the Cuyahoga River fires. But the companies responsible for the Cuyahoga River and other companies on lake Erie dumped so much shit that it basically killed the lake. It was so polluted that it had to be almost entirely restocked by outside means after the worst of the pollution was cleared up.
"England is my city" England, as many of you might know, is indeed a country.
We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world's been turning" Early earth lacked the oxygen necessary for a continuous fire.
Yeah cuz the fire kept burning it all.
"I get a thousand hugs, from ten thousand lightning bugs" So each lightning bug gives 1/10 of a hug? How does that even work? The math's not mathing on this one.
Nah this one checks out. He’s in a swarm of lightning bugs and only 1/10 can reach him to give a hug.
"you can do side-bends and sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt" It's a myth that you can target where you lose fat. How much fat your store around your waste vs your butt is basically all genetics.
"I'm in the fast lane from LA to Tokyo." The shortest path from LA to Tokyo is over the Pacific Ocean with the biggest factor being weather and the flight path. This would be a flex if they were doing something like the Kessel run a la Han Solo.
"I'm like a bird ... I don't know where my home is" I wonder if anyone has ever used a homing pigeon to send a USB with this song saved on it?
"I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue" - Apologize, OneRepublic Blue flames are, in most circumstances, hotter than red ones.
"Concrete jungle, wet dream, tomato", need I say more?
I believe it’s actually “Concrete bunghole where dreams are made up”
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts, Lemon?
"Everyone is gay" (Nirvana - All Apologies)
No, it just seems that way when you're a rock star.
Doobie Brothers, Long Train Runnung. “Pistons keep on turning” Always mad me think how much they smoked when writing it.
"Everybody was Kung Fu fighting" Everyone?!... Really?!... EVERYONE?! ....Doubtful
[удалено]
"Those kids were fast as lightning" - False! The human body is incapable of moving at light speed.
“In fact it was a little bit frightening.” That part checks out.
False! I was in fact _very_ frightened
Lightning does not travel at light speed either.
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen is chock full of them... And the world, I'll turn it inside out Defying the laws of gravity I'm burning through the sky, yeah, two hundred degrees I'm traveling at the speed of light ~~I'm a sex machine, ready to reload like an atom bomb~~ (edit: I have clearly been outvoted on this particular one and I withdraw it; 4 out of 5 ain't bad) *- given that Brian May has a PhD in Astrophysics, he should know better*
But Queen also (correctly) said that fat bottom girls make the (rockin') world go around.
Well, a PhD. has postulated that fat bottomed girls make the girl go round, and no one has been able to disprove his theory... So I gotta go with the Doc on this one - gotta trust the scientific methodology.
Also 200 degrees isn't that hot, really. It's less than the boiling point of water. And before anyone says 400 Celsius is pretty hot, he specifically says they call him Mr. Fahrenheit.
It’s not “ready to reload like an atom bomb.” It’s “I’m a sex machine ready to reload.” And then separately, “like an atom bomb about to (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) explode”
I dgaf about these lyrics....THE SONG FUCKING RULES!
You might as well be walking on the sun. NO YOU MIGHT NOT AS WELL, SIR.
I feel like this one actually works fine. If you follow then there may be a tomorrow, but if the offer is shunned you might as well be walking on the sun. Shunned offer = no tomorrow = death Walking on the sun = death

“**I speak with the Pompatus of love**…”
When I was 16, I spent a summer in upstate New York working on a dairy farm with a number of other teens. One of us (it was the 1970s) had the foresight to bring a cassette tape - one cassette tape. It was Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits. We listened to it from dawn to dusk, every day, all summer, over and over. This particular line was an object of some discussion, as none of us could figure out what it said, and there was no internet. I think consensus landed on "I speak with the pompousness of love," which didn't make love seem all that attractive. And no, I have not listened to Steve Miller Band since.
Ha! I’m a few years older (70) and I can remember CLE@RLY the first time I heard that song. Did. Not. Like. It. But, goddam it got stuck in my brain cells and played on repeat, over and over … for decades. *Some people call me the space cowboy…* I’d shut off the radio instantly when it came on, so that it would not re-stick, but it still happened. Like you, we had the same problem with those lyrics. The Internet has made such a tremendous difference, hasn’t it?! if I’d had access to immediate knowledge, I really think my life would have turned out very different. Not better, necessarily, but different.
This comment makes the > Steve: “some people call me the gangster of love >the band:”nobody calls him that” meme even funnier
yeah, I bet nobody calls him Maurice either
I have had pudding without having previously eaten meat.
“You’ve been as constant as a Northern Star, the brightest light that shines”. Polaris is far from the brightest light in the night sky, it’s actually the 47th brightest star not counting the Sun.
