Are there any songs with lyrics that bother you? Of course there are. What about song lyrics that bother you, even though you know you have no good reason to be bothered by them? I'm not talking about milkshakes bringing boys to the yard, I'm talking about stupid petty stuff. Example:

I like Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak". Good song. But this bothers me, and I know it's a stupid reason to be bothered.

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
so don't you be around


Granted, it's not Thin Lizzy's greatest work or a huge attempt at deeper philosophical meaning, but what the fuck is "somewhere in the town"? I'm guessing if you and the boys are rounding up a posse to stop a jailbreak, it's probably not a very big town. There's probably only one jail. I'm also guessing you know where that jail is. So why are you wondering where the jailbreak is taking place? Suppose I'm wrong. Maybe these guys live in Manhattan and for some reason don't trust the police or guards to prevent this jailbreak, so they are getting a gang together to put a stop to it. Maybe there are dozens of jails in your town and you really don't know where this jailbreak is occurring. How many people do you have in your posse? Are you going to post one or two dudes at each jail, and then run to a pay phone when the prisoners start escaping? Your friends are going to end up face down in a pool of their own blood with a toothbrush sticking out of their back while you're yelling at the cabbie to step on it. Way to go, jerks. However, that's pretty unlikely because I imagine if you live in a huge city with several jails, if someone's telling you about a jailbreak they probably also have the intel as to which jail it's going down in. You either know what jail and when it's happening, or you're not in the loop. Which leads me to believe this is taking place in a small one jail town... so you idiots know exactly where it's going down. Put down the fucking map and go over to the jail and wait. Or better yet, tell the sheriff you drunk militia wannabes.

The sweater song by weezer. I understand it is a metaphor you Hipster douche bags but that doesn't then mean that the song isn't incredibly bad. Stop fucking crying and grow a pair. Maybe if you would man up and take responsibility for shit in your life you wouldn't have to rely on others to not fuck it up.

People who like to play the victim drive me insane.

I don't think this thread would be complete without Phil Collins and Sussudio...

"'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy."
-Jimi Hendrix



Edit: what? That's not right?

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Jimi was great!!!

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - You Still Turn Me On

"Every day a little sadder, someone get me a ladder".

What the fuck is that all about?? Either you couldn't find something relevant to rhyme with "sadder", or, you really liked the saying "someone get me a ladder" (which was going to be the original title of the album) and you couldn't really find anything relevant to precede it with. Either way, GTFO.

Oye Como Va by Santana, i can't understand a word Carlos sings. It's almost like he is singing in another language.....

Not the same song, but sbb reminded me of this one.


When I come home... baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hanging ëround... baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who

I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change


Jean and Joan? Who cares? Once she starts hanging around with John Holmes and Hung Johnson then you can start worrying.
