LOVE this song despite this:

Oh poor Romeo
Sitting out on his own-ee-o
Oh poor Romeo


Come on!

Guano Apes I love as a band though I really think they would have benefitted from someone going over the lyrics.

 
I roll my eyes at any Rush lyrics. Throw in Geddy's kitten killing shreek and I'm out. That said I do like some of the music.

You have to look up the last paragraph on your own.

Replying to your own post, then deleting the original offers a more thread friendly reply size in my opinion.
The video disappears in follow up replies though.

REM Shiny Happy People



Lyrics

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands, take it, take it
There's no time to cry, happy, happy
Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Whoa, here we go
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Shiny happy people holding hands (people, happy people)
Shiny happy people holding hands (people, happy people)
Shiny happy people holding hands (people, happy people)

You're the first person I've ever met that says they love that song.
 
The Beatles - Why Don't We Do It In The Road



"Why Don't We Do It In The Road?"

Why don't we do it in the road? Mm
Why don't we do it in the road? Ah
Why don't we do it in the road? Mm
Why don't we do it in the road? Mm
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

Ooh

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it, do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

Writer(s): Paul McCartney, John Lennon

I'm a huge REM fan. I saw them live multiple times. While it's NOT my favorite REM song (crap lyrics), I like the music. Love is a bit of a stretch though. It was a top 10 hit in multiple countries.
 
Most of Tori Amos’ album Boys for Pele is nonsense. But it’s a classic example of great weird 1990s alt music.
 
My Bloody Valentine - Only Shallow

...As if anyone could hear what they were singing....



My Bloody Valentine Lyrics​


"Only Shallow"

Sleep like a pillow, no one there
Where she won't care anywhere
Soft as a pillow, touch her there
Where she won't dare somewhere

Sweet and mellow softer there
Feel like you grew stronger
Speak your trouble, she's not square
Soft like her silk everywhere

Sleep as a pillow, comfort there
Where she won't dare anywhere
Look in a mirror, she's not there
Where she won't care somewhere
 
I'll be the one to take this piss. Not the worst lyrics in this thread, perhaps, yet a bit crap. I do like, "'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do." That always made me smile as a partying teen. :baimun:

Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots



Fairies Wear Boots
Song by Black Sabbath ‧ 1970

Lyrics

Going home late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window and surprise what I saw
Fairy boots are dancing with a dwarf
Alright now!
Yeah, fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Alright now!
Yeah, fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Alright now!
So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
He said, "Son, son, you've gone too far
'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do"
Yeah!

Songwriters: William Ward / Tony Iommi / Terence Michael Butler / John Osbourne

Are these great literature? Of course not. But the phrase “Fairies wear boots and you’ve got to believe me” is ace and I wish I had thought of it. It’s both sublime and idiotic—which is the heart of all pop songwriting. The song itself is a bit of a trifle…but that line is the whole point of it aside from maximum riffage.

So you are, in fact, incorrect.

Don't soil your diaper. It's not exactly the most controversial hot take of all time.

I love the song. It was great to watch it performed one last time by Ozzy and the boys on the broadcast of Back To The Beginning.

I'll try not to hit your cornflakes the next time I take a piss.

So one of your super powers is taking things way too seriously? Just accept that you are incorrect and move on. I mean, it can’t be your first time given your whole deal.

Lighten up. Maybe, include a contribution to the thread instead of pretending you're a school teacher correcting papers.



I've always loved this song. Great rock music. Great vocals. But, for me, the lyrics suck, as if a grade school student wrote them.

Deep Purple - Highway Star



Lyrics

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tires and everything
I love it and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight
I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Ooh, she's a killing machine
She got everything
Like a moving mouth
Body control and everything
I love her, I need her, I seed her
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
Ooh, I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
Like a moving ground
An open road and everything
I love it and I need it, I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tires and everything
I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it's a mad hurricane
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star

Personally, I always felt the doctor Ozzy went to see in that song was a quack. His advice on what could be done was highly sus. It's almost as if he himself was a member of Black Sabbath.

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhh'.
