It is time for another edition of I F**king Hate (IFH). I think for tonight's IFH, we will swing back to the world of music. This time, let's focus our attention specifically on lyrics. What lyrics drive you up the wall? Not that the song is bad, but the lyrics are just plain horrible or make no sense. I got a couple examples below. What do you think?
"More Than Words" by Extreme
"Saying I love you is
Not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say but if you only knew
How easy
It would be to show me how you feel"
Why do women like this song? Don’t they understand what the guy is saying? "Hey, don’t tell me you love me...SHOW ME!" Ah, so romantic...
And for us lovers of the 80s how about this head scratching verse from Duran Duran:
"In touch with the ground
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf"
"Smell like I sound"? Really, what the heck does that even mean?
And the crap that they are writing today...ugh...I don't even know where to start. I do know one thing that drives me crazy in many songs today:
Any song that S to the P to the E to the double L-S words...extra hate points to those that purposefully spell it incorrectly...yes, I am looking at you, Fergie. IT IS NOT TASTEY.
So what song lyrics drive you crazy? Extra points for anyone that digs up some awesome disco references. Please use only a couple lines of the song...the most heinous of heinous!
