Cringeworthy lyrics

[irocfan]

Now being a fan of rock I'm not averse to cringy lyrics ("Slide It In", "Love Gun" etc) but I stumbled across an old dance track today Rhythm is a Dancer and heard/remembered... "I'm serious as cancer, when I tell you rhythm is a dancer..."

What other cringeworthy (or straight out inappropriate) lyrics are there?

[DocJock]

The Genders - Horatio

"Look out mama, my name is Horatio
I perform cunnilingus in return for fellatio"

[Evoluzione]

Des'ree:

I'm afraid of the dark,
Especially when I'm in a park

I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast

There are plenty more, I'll be back when i've had the radio on a bit.

[Evoluzione]

The Beatles:

I'm sorry that I doubted you, I was so unfair.
You were in a crash and you lost your hair.

[Evoluzione]

We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time,
We could dance and party all night



and drink some cherry wine

[Colonel Cupcake]

Kid Creole

Break it to me gently now
Don't forget I'm just a child

Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy
See if I was in your blood then you wouldn't be so ugly

If there was a book on crap lyrics that would be in it for sure.

Cutting Crew;
“I just died in your arms tonight.”
Sounds innocuous right?, but Cutting Crew member Nick Van Eede said that he came up with the lyrics during sex, “dying” is a play on the French phrase, ‘la petite mort’, ( a little death), aka an orgasm.

You are probably wrong with what you found out:

The repeated lyrical refrain of "I think I'm turning Japanese" was widely believed by Americans to describe an orgasm induced by masturbating, but actually was intended to describe teen angst or alienation after a romantic breakup.

On topic -

And I know you love Shrek
'Cause we've watched it twelve times
But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too
And if your DVD breaks, today
You shoulda got a VCR
'Cause I never owned a Blu-Ray
True say

Not Ed Sheeran's best

[Lotobear]

You're sorta young
But you're over age
I don't care cause I like your style
Don't know about your brain
But you look alright

(Rainbow)

It was an American girlfriend who told me about “turning Japanese” for jerking off, sounded total BS to me, but I wasn’t dumb enough to dispute it when I was getting laid regularly in NYC.

I remember it when it first came out and it seems to be quite high on R2s playlist at the moment.
But cherry wine? Wtf is that?!

Can't argue with that

Rebecca Black - Friday

An infamous song. In fairness, it never should have been known at all, it has an interesting history. An example:

"Seven a.m., waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal.."

I haven't listened you it in years, but when it became famous years back when I was younger, the hilarious irony of listening to such a bad song with my friends became lost, and I actually ended up liking it. If it comes on and I'm not paying attention I'll hum along.

Enjoy!
