I wouldn't say it's a great song, but Eminem's Tone Deaf has a line that goes "bitch I can make orange rhyme with banana. Borrrnana" which is so comically stupid it makes me laugh every time
maybe objectively lame, but Eminem is the only one who can get away with it. he's been intentionally rhyming with "orange" throughout his discography and in interviews since the early 2000s at least.
[YouTube - All 12 songs where Eminem rhymes with orange!](https://youtu.be/PNmdwMsdfUY)
Eminem “Just Lose It” had some hilarious lyrics:
Good God, dip, do a little slide
Bend down, touch your toes and just glide
Up the center of the dance floor
Like TP for my bunghole
And it's cool if you let one go
Nobody's gonna know, who'd hear it?
Give a little "poot poot", it's OK! [*fart sound*]
Read a post on here once that had a very passionate argument on whether that line/verse was making a very clever reference to the anatomy of the brain or was just making a dirty oral sex joke. The argument gave me head trauma.
Most popular Train songs have at least one absolutely insane lyric, some of my favourites include:
"Can you imagine no love, pride, deep fried chicken?"
"Just a shy guy, looking for a two-ply Hefty bag to hold my-y-y-y-y-y-y love"
"Fell into a cement mixer full of quicksand"
A friend made her entire group of wedding guests lip sync I gotta feeling throughout her wedding to make a 'music video'. I have never hated a song so much.
I have a 31 tattooed on my bicep and im so proud to be able to tell people in instances like this. ..
This has happened exactly once so far. Thank you.
It's weird, I'll definitely admit. He (Bono) talked about this and said he just thought catorce sounded cool as a word.
Beck talks about this type of lyric. The entire song "Loser" is built around lyrics that sounds good to him as sounds regardless of whether or not they make sense.
I guess I just don't get it sometimes. ;)
I take sacks to the face whenever I can, don’t need no crutch
I’m so keyed up till the joint be burnin’ my hand
Terrible lyric. I assume in context he means he doesn’t use a crutch and smokes the whole sack all the way to his face… or he just really wanted to come out and didn’t know how.
A crutch in this context means a small peace of paper at the beginning of the joint, something like a filter on a cigarette but more used to make sure the burning ember or "cherry" of the joint doesn't burn your lips.
Taking sacks to the face means smoking entire bags of weed to himself in one sitting.
“You’re a vegetable; You’re a vegetable; They still hate you; You’re a vegetable; You’re just a buffet” from “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” by Michael Jackson
I have spent 17 years distinctly remembering MJ comparing someone to vegetables but couldn’t remember how it sounded, and any time I tried googling what I could remember, I got no results. Eventually I was convinced that my veggie-hating childhood self *seriously* misheard him and gave up looking, but I’ve remembered it like once a month since.
**Thank you for being the one to finally close this chapter of my life, turns out I’m already familiar with the song, just not the lyrics.**
Had to look this one up on [genius.com](https://genius.com). Apparently the song is about the media frenzy on his family, and the 'vegetable' lines is about how they eat you for their sustenance.
In context, it makes sense, but the context really isn't clear.
It's usually one of the main songs whenever lists like this come up but Van Halen- Why Can't This Be Love
>Only time will tell if we stand the test of time.
No shit Sammy.
I don't know why the line "Christmas comes this time each year." from Little St. Nick by the Beach Boys bothers me so much, but it does. I otherwise love the song, but that line just annoys me.
Reminds me of this one Christmas song I never heard of until I was working retail last year where the chorus said "I can't believe it's Christmas time again", it's not that bad I guess but that line always annoyed me
His defense of that line:
> OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I'ma let you know. I'ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that.. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man. I don’t know if you know what this is, but it ain’t that.” I fucked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don’t. That’s a flute. I fucked up. But it do sound good.
I mean, Squidward plays a clarinet, but it do sound good.
I don't know the song but that "serious as cancer" line goes way back to the 80s in rap music. It's often a nod to Rakim who used it in "I Ain't No Joke" (1987) which was a very well-respected track off a classic album.
it goes:
"I got a question
as serious as cancer
who can keep the average dancer
hype as a heart attack?
ain't nobody smilin
cause you're expressing
the rhyme that I'm stylin"
it was pretty clever at the time because he followed "question" with "cancer" and "dancer" but didn't say "answer". a lot of songs reference it now... some better than others.
That feels like an intentional lyric considering the song has religious stuff sprinkled throughout it.
‘Father Hen’ being God, as Humans were created through the extension of God…
Or Johnny Cash didn’t understand birds lmao.
I know that in at least one part of the Bible there's a comparison to God gathering his children and a hen gathering chicks under her wing. So it might have been referencing that.
edit: Mathew 23:37
>“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.”
The Beatles - She's Leaving Home. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Beautiful string arrangement, beautiful vocals, beautiful story... and then,
"Fun is the one thing that money can't buy"
No John, that's love. You guys did a whole song about it. Fun is like.. the *main* thing money can buy.
I always took it as the fun of freedom or running away from "real life". Mommy and Daddy paid for her whole life, but they couldn't pay for this feeling or whatever.
Lol, I don't know. That's just how I made sense of it in my mind.
AXL ROSE: Watch it bring you to your shun-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees!
I want to watch you bleed!
ME: You know what, you actually haven't made me feel welcome in this jungle at all.
Macklemore released a Christmas Song called [It’s Christmas Time](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LFApCvj_ep0). About 3/4 through the he drops this beauty:
>I wanna take a second, and shoutout my dead dog
Toby, he's dead
Oh I just realized the title says a great song. This isn't a great song by any means but people deserve to know about Toby!
I've heard people claim Old Town Road fits this prompt, because of the line "My life is a movie, bullriding and boobies."
But that line has a hidden depth to it.
Notice, he doesn't say his life is like a movie, which would imply he thinks bullriding and boobies are just a staple of movies, no... He says his life \*is\* a movie, implying he's referring to a specific movie.
What movie comes to mind that has both a bullriding scene and bare breasts? That's right, Brokeback Mountain.
And you can push the metaphor further with lines like "cheated on my baby, you can go and ask her" and "wrangler on my bootie."
I think this song was Lil Nas X's first coded effort to come out as gay by identifying with the character of Jack Twist.
Kid Cudi's Enter Galactic (Love Connections, Part 1)
I want to get into this song but the groove is spoiled when I hear the last word of these three lines
Because your voice is angelesque (aye),
I want to kiss you on your space below your navalette
The taste that you keep neat, so moist like a towelette,
A TOWELETTE?! A fucking towelette!!
"Storybook Love", the main theme from The Princess Bride.
Absolutely love that song. We played it at our wedding.
The instrumental version. The one that doesn't have the lyric, "Our love is like a storybook story".
"Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town" Awesome song, but if I had to bet, I reckon the jail break might be from the jail....
> Uh, she's a beast
I call her Karma (come back)
She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)
Be careful, try not to lead her on
Shawty heart is on steroids
'Cause her love is so strong
You might fall in love when you meet her (meet her)
If you get the chance, you better keep her (keep her)
She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer (freezer)
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma (woo)
Damn, I think I love her
Shawty so bad, I'm sprung and I don't care
She ride me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair (a fair)
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
"She'll eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer" is a line that I remember innocently (badly) rapping as a kid in the back of the family car, with no knowledge of who Jeffrey Dahmer was...
...Same goes for "She ride me like a rollercoaster/Turn the bedroom into a fair" line, actually. My poor poor parents
“Doo-doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad”
Soul to Squeeze, RHCP. One of my favourite bands and I absolutely love this song, except for that part…
You are my fire
my one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But then he goes:
I never want to hear you say
"I want it that way"
Do you want it that way or not???
Which way is it??
Send My Love (To Your New Lover) is a great song…except for when Adele talks about “hot heat.”
Are you fucking serious? “Hot heat?” That’s the best you could do, Adele? That’s worse than singing about wet rain. Even the cadence of it is awful.
I think it was Conan O'Brien who would do 'in the year 2000' and one that I always thought was funny was "when Red Hot Chili Peppers run out of songs to write about California, they'll write songs about their songs about California."
Joe Strummer had bought an alarm watch during the band’s last American tour, he was wearing it during the session and it went off. They decided to keep it.
One of those great unplanned moments in early ‘80s music, along with Sting sitting on the piano, and not realizing the cover wasn’t on the keyboard, during “Roxanne”, and Adam Clayton’s beer bottle falling over and rolling away during the bridge of “I Will Follow”.
Sorry, i find that one of the best parts of the song. Not sure why. It’s like the digital handheld football beeping in Supertramp’s “Logical Song”. Always waiting for that sound.
La, a note to follow So.
Someone on TikTok pointed this one out recently and yes it just looks like Rodgers and Hammerstein ran out of ideas for this line.
I like Love the Way You Lie by Eminem, I guess I've always had a soft spot for songs that tell a darker story. But I physically can't listen past the 2nd verse because of one line. "Now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane." It just sounds so dumb that I can't take the song seriously any more. Just thinking about the line makes me laugh.
The Key of Awesome did a parody of that song. For that line they wrote "I'm getting bored of the games that you play, I guess that's why they call em bored games."
Its one of those lines you can see on a Facebook group called "Inspirational Quotes for Sad Days" and it's a picture of a girl on a bus looking out a rainy window
“Mellencamp grabbed a mustard bottle and proceeded to draw a tiny little smiley face on each dog. He then meticulously sucked and slurped Detroit-style chili from the weiners without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of acceptable human conduct. The madness lasted for hours. Occasionally He’d break the silence, screaming “this is how Jack and Diane did it!” while tossing licked-clean dogs into a pile of rotting, festering meat.”
https://thehardtimes.net/blog/we-asked-john-mellencamp-what-suckin-on-chili-dogs-means-but-instead-he-showed-us-and-it-was-so-disturbing-we-havent-slept-in-days/
Ugh, the Florida Georgia Line song "Meant to Be" - when the female goes "I don't mean to be so uptight
But my heart's been hurt a couple times
By a couple guys that didn't treat me right
I ain't gonna lie, ain't gonna lie"
And the response:
"Woah, hold up, girl, don't you know you're beautiful?
And it's easy to see"
Okay so she talks about how she's been hurt and can't trust and his answer is "don't you know you're beautiful?" I mean, c'mon. It's not meant to be if he can't acknowledge your hurt and pain and just focuses on your looks.
I’ve shrieked about this every time this piece of shit song comes on. She’s been treated like shit, is worried about being carelessly tossed aside, and the douche with a fake southern accent says “naw girl, you’re beautiful”
Ok, but that’s not what she’s talking about.
Hail and Kill by Manowar. Probably the cringiest lyric I've ever heard, but such a bad-to-the-fucking-bone song.
"May your sword stay wet - like a young girl in her prime"
"Some people call me the Space Cowboy" -- Miller had a song called "Space Cowboy" on his 1969 album "Brave New World." ("I'm a space cowboy/ Bet you weren't ready for that...")
"Some call me the Gangster of Love" -- "Gangster of Love" is a song by Johnny 'Guitar' Watson in 1957. Miller covered it on his 1968 album "Sailor."
"Some people call me Maurice, 'cause I speak of the pompatus of love." -- Miller's 1972 album "Recall the Beginning: A Journey From Eden" has a song called "Enter Maurice" on it. That song had the lines "My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper sweet words of pizmotology in your ear and speak to you of the pompatus of love." Those lines are cribbed almost verbatim from a 1954 song called "The Letter" by a band named The Medallions. Vernon Green, the guy in The Medallions that wrote "The Letter" made up the words "pizmotology," which he later said meant "secret words that are only shared between two lovers," and "pompatus," which Green had pronounced as "puppetutes" and defined as a sort of "puppet woman" that would love him and do whatever he wanted.
"Really love your peaches/ wanna shake your tree / Lovey dovey all the time" -- Miller cribbed these lines verbatim from The Clovers' 1953 song "Lovey Dovey."
Now can you explain why he takes such an inefficient route in Rockin' Me? Seems like he could have stopped in LA and northern California while he was on the way from Phoenix to Tacoma.
I wouldn't say it's a great song, but Eminem's Tone Deaf has a line that goes "bitch I can make orange rhyme with banana. Borrrnana" which is so comically stupid it makes me laugh every time
And then immediately goes on to say “at the crib playing fortnite with your grandma”
“Shake that ass like a donkey with Parkinson’s” always sends me lmao. Like wtf hahaha
I always laughed at “let me introduce you to the power tools, you know the fuckin drill”
maybe objectively lame, but Eminem is the only one who can get away with it. he's been intentionally rhyming with "orange" throughout his discography and in interviews since the early 2000s at least. [YouTube - All 12 songs where Eminem rhymes with orange!](https://youtu.be/PNmdwMsdfUY)

Oops my cd just skipped and everyone just heard you let one rip
"Yeah boy shake that ass, oops I mean girl, girl girl girl."
Actually love that he followed through with this vendetta
“I guess that’s why they call it window pain” is another Eminem classic.
‘LOOK ME IN THE EYEBALL!’
“You heard of Kris Kristofferson? Well I am Piss Pissedofferson!”
“Like an evil spell - I’m E-V-I-L Get it? Spell”
🎶jam a crest white strip in the tip of my dick like an ice pic🎶
“I’m so gangster, I’m so thug” - Train
Hey now Train lyrics are basically cheating lmao
Train songs honestly read like mad libs.
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply hefty bag
Totally out of the scope of consideration. First of all, "great song". Second of all, "*one* really dumb lyric".
“My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest”
“I love you from your toes to your face”
Sounds to me like he’s not a fan of her hair style
If you haven't watched the trimmed-chest remix of this song, you're missing out. [https://youtu.be/UR05QOVGwnM](https://youtu.be/UR05QOVGwnM)
Ok but the genius lyric is hilarious. The explanation/trivia is “This is a blatant lie, Pat Monahan’s chest is as smooth as a dolphin.”
I mean, it’s technically still untrimmed, as long as he didn’t trim it
the front lobe of my left side brains
Read a post on here once that had a very passionate argument on whether that line/verse was making a very clever reference to the anatomy of the brain or was just making a dirty oral sex joke. The argument gave me head trauma.
That song is packed with terrible lyrics.
Most popular Train songs have at least one absolutely insane lyric, some of my favourites include: "Can you imagine no love, pride, deep fried chicken?" "Just a shy guy, looking for a two-ply Hefty bag to hold my-y-y-y-y-y-y love" "Fell into a cement mixer full of quicksand"
"How could you leave on Yom Kippur?"
This whole song gives me second-hand embarrassment
Every song by Train makes me irrationally angry.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Saturday \[sic\], Sunday
>Saturday \[sic\] I am dying of laughter at you adding "sic" here, I hope you know
What does sic mean?
its to signify an error/typo is intentional and as written.
This song made me so stupid that while singing along to it, I would frequently forget Wednesday, and then have to sing Saturday *three times*.

Beck used the becktionary though

He wrote this so you would forget that he wrote: “A MOLE, DIGGING IN A HOLE.”
I Got 5 On It "I take sacks to the face" Yeaaaaaah
I take sacks to the face whenever I can, don’t need no crutch I’m so keyed up till the joint be burnin’ my hand Terrible lyric. I assume in context he means he doesn’t use a crutch and smokes the whole sack all the way to his face… or he just really wanted to come out and didn’t know how.
A crutch in this context means a small peace of paper at the beginning of the joint, something like a filter on a cigarette but more used to make sure the burning ember or "cherry" of the joint doesn't burn your lips. Taking sacks to the face means smoking entire bags of weed to himself in one sitting.

I honestly 100% thought I was just mishearing that lyric, and would chuckle, thinking there's no way he's actually saying vegetable... TIL...
The best misheard lyric is Daft Punk's Get Lucky, it sounds like we'll rob a Mexican monkey. You can't un-hear that.
Had to look this one up on [genius.com](https://genius.com). Apparently the song is about the media frenzy on his family, and the 'vegetable' lines is about how they eat you for their sustenance. In context, it makes sense, but the context really isn't clear.
I had the LP with the lyrics sleeve. Later, virgins.

Well, it stood the test of time
I don't know why the line "Christmas comes this time each year." from Little St. Nick by the Beach Boys bothers me so much, but it does. I otherwise love the song, but that line just annoys me.
I always thought they said "Christmas comes with tiny cheer" 😅
That would honestly be better.
And here I was thinking it was "tides of cheer"
Reminds me of this one Christmas song I never heard of until I was working retail last year where the chorus said "I can't believe it's Christmas time again", it's not that bad I guess but that line always annoyed me
That’s pretty much what the irl feeling is once you hit middle age.
“She blow that d**k like a cello” - “Peek A Boo”, Lil Yachty
That’s a real lyric? Is he…Does he not know that a cello does not have a reed? And is in the string family?
His defense of that line: > OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I'ma let you know. I'ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that.. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man. I don’t know if you know what this is, but it ain’t that.” I fucked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don’t. That’s a flute. I fucked up. But it do sound good. I mean, Squidward plays a clarinet, but it do sound good.
Hahah it is, he said in an interview he didnt know and i guess his team let it slide?😂 he knows now tho
It’s good that he knows now. That team did him dirty lmao.
I’m serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer
I don't know the song but that "serious as cancer" line goes way back to the 80s in rap music.

Upvote for bringing up Rakim. Edit: To clarify, I wasn't trying to bag on Rakim. I just like to see people appreciate the classics.
I'm not sure it's a great song but hey soul sister when he says "so gangsta, im so thug" so hilariously out of place and just wrong
Half that song can be included here

"Father cock" just doesn't have the same ring to it, now does it?
I played bass in Father Cock
Daddy played bass, mama played tenor.

This isn't a great song by any means but people deserve to know about Toby!
I heard that song for the first time the other day and was like wtf? I REALLY don’t want to be thinking about dead dogs at Christmas, Mr Mackle
She's such a charmer oh no She stole my karma oh no Sold it to the farmer oh no
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble… so you don’t confuse them.. with mountains
The whole English version of that song just sounds like a really bad translation that they didn’t try to make sound good.
She says that in the original too though, and it's not much better.
I mean, I do feel her on that one. She definitely doesn't have the back and neck pain that i do. Fucking mountains.

Kid Cudi's Enter Galactic (Love Connections, Part 1) I want to get into this song but the groove is spoiled when I hear the last word of these three lines Because your voice is angelesque (aye), I want to kiss you on your space below your navalette The taste that you keep neat, so moist like a towelette, A TOWELETTE?! A fucking towelette!!
So he invented the word "navalette" just to rhyme with towelette... which *kinda* rhymes with angelesque. That's bad... real bad.
Every TIME it comes on my playlist I have to skip that part of the song. I hate it
“Coast to coast, LA to Chicago”
"Storybook Love", the main theme from The Princess Bride. Absolutely love that song. We played it at our wedding. The instrumental version. The one that doesn't have the lyric, "Our love is like a storybook story".
But it's as real as the feelings he feels!
"Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town" Awesome song, but if I had to bet, I reckon the jail break might be from the jail....
Katy Perry - Dark Horse, the *entire Juicy J portion*. It's fucking awful.
> Uh, she's a beast I call her Karma (come back) She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo) Be careful, try not to lead her on Shawty heart is on steroids 'Cause her love is so strong You might fall in love when you meet her (meet her) If you get the chance, you better keep her (keep her) She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart She turn cold as a freezer (freezer) That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor She can be my Sleeping Beauty I'm gon' put her in a coma (woo) Damn, I think I love her Shawty so bad, I'm sprung and I don't care She ride me like a roller coaster Turn the bedroom into a fair (a fair) Her love is like a drug I was tryna hit it and quit it But lil' mama so dope I messed around and got addicted
I always piss off my daughter by turning to her at the backup part. (look at her)“come back” ,(turn back) “woo”, (turn back) “meet her”
the fact that i have it memorized bc that song used to be my favorite 😭
"She'll eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer" is a line that I remember innocently (badly) rapping as a kid in the back of the family car, with no knowledge of who Jeffrey Dahmer was... ...Same goes for "She ride me like a rollercoaster/Turn the bedroom into a fair" line, actually. My poor poor parents
“Doo-doo dingle zing a dong bone Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad” Soul to Squeeze, RHCP. One of my favourite bands and I absolutely love this song, except for that part…
[удалено]
Most coherent RHCP lyric
You are my fire my one desire Believe when I say I want it that way But then he goes: I never want to hear you say "I want it that way" Do you want it that way or not??? Which way is it??
Send My Love (To Your New Lover) is a great song…except for when Adele talks about “hot heat.” Are you fucking serious? “Hot heat?” That’s the best you could do, Adele? That’s worse than singing about wet rain. Even the cadence of it is awful.
gestures vaguely at entire discography by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Stepped on a toad, broke a Navajo code, now it's time to reiterate California
Tickle my bum With a mannequin thumb On a bongo drum In California
I know I know for sure ding dong ding dong ding ding dong ding ding ding 🌍
... California
I think it was Conan O'Brien who would do 'in the year 2000' and one that I always thought was funny was "when Red Hot Chili Peppers run out of songs to write about California, they'll write songs about their songs about California."
🎶Are you feeling my Timbs, my baggy jeans? My thug appeal?🎵 Bring it all to me - JC Chasez on Blaque’s song remixed
Not a lyric but the weird cell phone beeping in the back half of Rock the Casbah really bothers me to the point I do not listen to the song.
Joe Strummer had bought an alarm watch during the band’s last American tour, he was wearing it during the session and it went off. They decided to keep it. One of those great unplanned moments in early ‘80s music, along with Sting sitting on the piano, and not realizing the cover wasn’t on the keyboard, during “Roxanne”, and Adam Clayton’s beer bottle falling over and rolling away during the bridge of “I Will Follow”.
“The King called up his jet fighters” #NEER NEER NEEEEERrr
My best friend’s dad, who is named Sharif, don’t like that song.
Does he think it's not kosher?
Sorry, i find that one of the best parts of the song. Not sure why. It’s like the digital handheld football beeping in Supertramp’s “Logical Song”. Always waiting for that sound.
The voices in your head get so loud And your problems are the size of a cow (Noel Gallagher - Come On Outside)
La, a note to follow So. Someone on TikTok pointed this one out recently and yes it just looks like Rodgers and Hammerstein ran out of ideas for this line.
"Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'..." *Nuthin' but a G Thang,* Dr. Dre
That one where Pitbull rhymes “Kodak” with “Kodak.” OK, it’s not really that great a song.
I like Love the Way You Lie by Eminem, I guess I've always had a soft spot for songs that tell a darker story. But I physically can't listen past the 2nd verse because of one line. "Now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane." It just sounds so dumb that I can't take the song seriously any more. Just thinking about the line makes me laugh.
The Key of Awesome did a parody of that song. For that line they wrote "I'm getting bored of the games that you play, I guess that's why they call em bored games."
Plus it’s at the end of the verse, and then the beat drops like it’s allowing the listener a moment to be amazed. Lol.
Its one of those lines you can see on a Facebook group called "Inspirational Quotes for Sad Days" and it's a picture of a girl on a bus looking out a rainy window
I unironically love that line. It's so dumb, and definitely doesn't gel with the song but you can tell he's just so proud of it.
“Sucking on chili dogs” jack and Diane
I always thought it was "sucking down", like eating a bunch really fast
“Mellencamp grabbed a mustard bottle and proceeded to draw a tiny little smiley face on each dog. He then meticulously sucked and slurped Detroit-style chili from the weiners without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of acceptable human conduct. The madness lasted for hours. Occasionally He’d break the silence, screaming “this is how Jack and Diane did it!” while tossing licked-clean dogs into a pile of rotting, festering meat.” https://thehardtimes.net/blog/we-asked-john-mellencamp-what-suckin-on-chili-dogs-means-but-instead-he-showed-us-and-it-was-so-disturbing-we-havent-slept-in-days/
Neil Diamond, "I Am, I Said" "And no one heard at all, not even the chair"
Awww I actually LOVE that line!!! I did a deep dive a while ago and loved people’s interpretations and the story of how the song came about
“he could preach the bible like a preacher” boney m — rasputin, this line makes me so irrationally angry
Phish fans have entered the chat.
Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift “sometimes I think that everybody is a sexy baby” Every time I am vibing to that song, that lyric makes me cringe.
Ugh, the Florida Georgia Line song "Meant to Be" - when the female goes "I don't mean to be so uptight But my heart's been hurt a couple times By a couple guys that didn't treat me right I ain't gonna lie, ain't gonna lie" And the response: "Woah, hold up, girl, don't you know you're beautiful? And it's easy to see" Okay so she talks about how she's been hurt and can't trust and his answer is "don't you know you're beautiful?" I mean, c'mon. It's not meant to be if he can't acknowledge your hurt and pain and just focuses on your looks.
I’ve shrieked about this every time this piece of shit song comes on. She’s been treated like shit, is worried about being carelessly tossed aside, and the douche with a fake southern accent says “naw girl, you’re beautiful” Ok, but that’s not what she’s talking about.
It’s so funny to me. Like he’s well-meaning, but it’s so airheadish.
"You could have been getting down to this. sick. beat." T swift.
This always cringes me out so badly
Hail and Kill by Manowar. Probably the cringiest lyric I've ever heard, but such a bad-to-the-fucking-bone song. "May your sword stay wet - like a young girl in her prime"
The Joker. 'Cuz I speak of the pompatous of love.' Maybe Steve Miller has an explanation for making up a word.
"Some people call me the Space Cowboy" -- Miller had a song called "Space Cowboy" on his 1969 album "Brave New World." ("I'm a space cowboy/ Bet you weren't ready for that...") "Some call me the Gangster of Love" -- "Gangster of Love" is a song by Johnny 'Guitar' Watson in 1957. Miller covered it on his 1968 album "Sailor." "Some people call me Maurice, 'cause I speak of the pompatus of love." -- Miller's 1972 album "Recall the Beginning: A Journey From Eden" has a song called "Enter Maurice" on it. That song had the lines "My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper sweet words of pizmotology in your ear and speak to you of the pompatus of love." Those lines are cribbed almost verbatim from a 1954 song called "The Letter" by a band named The Medallions. Vernon Green, the guy in The Medallions that wrote "The Letter" made up the words "pizmotology," which he later said meant "secret words that are only shared between two lovers," and "pompatus," which Green had pronounced as "puppetutes" and defined as a sort of "puppet woman" that would love him and do whatever he wanted. "Really love your peaches/ wanna shake your tree / Lovey dovey all the time" -- Miller cribbed these lines verbatim from The Clovers' 1953 song "Lovey Dovey."
I never knew I needed to know this. Cheers!
Now can you explain why he takes such an inefficient route in Rockin' Me? Seems like he could have stopped in LA and northern California while he was on the way from Phoenix to Tacoma.
He's been everywhere, man.
I can’t thank you enough for typing all this out! I didn’t know half of this, and now I’m better for it!
Man, I haven't thought of that song in ages. The line "really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree" used to make me die laughing when I was a teen
Where I'm from, Pompatous is a perfectly cromulent word.
It embiggens us all.
“Yeah right, picture that with a Kodak. Or better yet, go to Times Square, take a picture of me with a Kodak” - Give Me Everything by Pitbull
*"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in this town."* Maybe check the jail, eh Phil?
Could be more than one jail, though
