Lyrics that make no sense and piss you off

Human
“I’m down on my knees, searching for the answer… Are we human or are we dancer?”
The Killers

Yep. That one really pisses me off.

More than anything I think it's very much a case of what we like to call over here an "emergency rhyme". Doesn't matter what it means, as long as it rhymes. That's bad enough, but when it's also grammatically incorrect in addition to making absolutely no sense... :flamemad:

I was just at Lowe's and All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You came on. I ran screaming from the store.
 
not sure about "pisses me off", but bugs me and since i watch the re-runs, i get to hear it several time a week.
but....BNL's Big Bang song. the song is supposed to be a chronology of events of man from the actual big bang to present.....but it's out of order.

re: "We built a wall (we built the pyramids)" .
the great wall of china was begun in around 700 BC, while the great pyramids of giza were built in around 2500 BC,
so the pyramids should have come first in the lyrics....then the wall. but it would sound/flow right.....:shrug:

They didn’t specify which wall.
 
If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at karmas burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?

Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?

Could I have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?

You live it or lie it!

My lifestyle determines my deathstyle

Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on

Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock​



Take. Your. Pick.

And the lyrics aren't even anywhere near as offensive as the snare sound. :embarrassed:
 
did she ever say why she hated it?
No, but it had to be the nonsensical randomness of the line. Who's downright "afraid" to cut a cake? Not liking to ruin a nice cake, okay, but straight up afraid? I never asked because it was sort of obvious.

well, everything i've read is that it means "afraid of marriage", but it's a complicated song. so......
 
Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du, oh yeah
Mmmbop, ba duba dop

Pretty much the entire Florida Georgia Line catalog.

Example from one of their biggest hits

Baby you're a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell lot better with you up in it
So baby you're a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

The weirdest part is the non-sequitur about the XT1635-01
 
I absolutely love love love Prince.....



... but given the great lyrics he has on albums like Sign of the Times, it always kinda irks me when we're doing "Let's Go Crazy" and I have to sing....


"Let's get Crazy, Let's get Nuts.... Let's look for the Purple Banana 'til they put us in the truck..." :messedup:


I mean... I suppose it is a way to be nuts? Or he was telling Apollonia that he wanted to play "hide the purple banana" :shrug:
