Lyrics

I drove my manager's car today.

Driving the manager's car is kind of what I imagine having sex with a pornstar would be like: awesome in theory, but not really that great in practice because you spend the whole time trying really hard not to fuck it up and crash into a tree. (What? It could happen.) Also the pornstar is really hairy and his/her radio presets are all talkback.

There was a big paragraph about that song Carry-Out in here but all it did was ramble and remind me that I meant to make THIS LIST:


Most Ridiculous Lyrics from this week's Top 40
NZ top 40. If any of these lyrics are wrong, I'm sorry, blame Google.


Tinie Tempah - Pass Out

I’m a star and i bought my fucking cast out / I live a very very very wild lifestyle / Heidi and Audrina eat your heart out [...] I got so many clothes i keep’s em in ma aunt's house."

That... that is a pretty wild lifestyle. Once I left some stuff in storage at my Nana's. Does that count? Should I tell Heidi and Audrina? Also, when you say 'bought my cast out' it makes me think that you have a broken arm, maybe from getting in a fight. But I guess probably not a fight because you've only got a tinie tempah. Anyway, do you want me to sign your cast or something? Is that the point? I'm confused.


Katy Perry - California Girls

"Sex on the beach / We get sand in our stilettos."

Seriously? If Katy Perry had ever actually had sex on the beach, she would know that sand in your stilettos is the absolute least of your worries.
Bonus points to Snoop Dogg for "the girl's a freak / She drives a jeep." Snoop just forgot what freaky is. He used to be the king of freaky and now he thinks that driving a Jeep is somehow up there with drinking champagne out of a hooker's never-you-mind. It is sad. Like when all those rockstars went on that silly reality show.


Chiddy Bang - Opposite of Adults

"...it's Chiddy Bang, google me in the images / Follow me, follow me I'm the leader / And when I park cars I don't pay for the meter"
Bro, that is so fucking hardcore. Also you are going to get a chiddy ticket.

"And it's drama so you are Svetlana and I'm just a rhymer / Swimmin' in the water tryin' to dodge the piranhas and fly to Bahamas"
Did he just write down every word that sort of rhymed with drama? Next line should be 'my mama ironed my pajamas Obama's a llama.'

"The rule is, the dude is, so up, so chuck I'm a cool kid"
This doesn't make any sense but it has 'up' and 'chuck' in close succession which is exactly what this song makes me want to do. Opposite of Adults = opposite of 'not shit.'


J Williams feat. Scribe - You Got Me

"Hey baby you got me / Like a bullet shot me / Right through my ventricle / Don't know what I'm meant to do"

I guess that when you know more about basic anatomy than the average rapper it's pretty tempting to just drop a casual ventricle reference in there. Doesn't make the rhyme with 'meant to do' any better, though.
Maybe it cancels out, but either way that's a really weird lyric.


Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed

"I'll tell ya I'm not here to sell ya / Or tell ya to get to hell / I'm like a puzzle but all of my pieces are jagged / If you can understand this, we can make some magic"

I can't understand this. Can anyone understand it?
Alas, there may be no magic for Miley.


Usher feat. Will.i.am - OMG

"honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow / honey got some boobies like wow, oh wow"

Heeee hee, Usher said boobies! Actually, that's pretty controversial. What's next? Jugs? Nungas? Front bum?


Eminem - Not Afraid

"What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world / Feed it beans, it's gassed up [...] haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead / No more beef flingers"

I like Eminem, but my God he talks some rubbish. Are beef flingers people who 'have beef' with Eminem? Or are they people who come to his shows and literally fling beef at him? Or are they both? Who cares. Feed the world beans.

Hahaha. Boobies.

I'm just glad Eminem is actually working again. Sad, I know, but you can only watch the rap battle on 8 Mile so many times before people start to talk about you behind your back.

These kids and their rap music. tsktsk.

Sueann said...

Most of those lyrics are sick and messed up. And we wonder why our young can't speak or write correctly??!! I'm just sayin'

OBAMA IS A LLAMA FEEDING THE WORLD BEANS

Tooting Squared said...

I feel mildly disappointed that the coolest thing there is to rap about these days is dodging parking fares. They don't make gangstas like they used to.

PS - you've won a prize. Pop over to my place to see!

PPS - VW - hucking. That's what the rappers are saying. Mother hucker!

Wild Celtic said...

Agreed, the OMG song where he sings about boobies, my jaw dropped to the floor and I stared at my radio! No way! The songs they get away with nowadays...

Tsk. I mean, singing about shorty's booty bouncing is one thing, but to blantantly write a song about her boobies - come on now, man.

I am waiting for someone to reach the lyrical peak of that lollipop song by Nellie (or Nelly or whatever his name is - the one the bandaid) from a few years ago: "C'mon girl lick my lollipop, keep going 'til you hit the spot, Whoa."

PS Scribe is my second-favourite guilty New Zealand export love, after that TV show Outrageous Fortunes with the actor who plays identical twins (does he get paid twice as much?)

IT IS ALLY said...

ow1 - Me too! I like Eminem. I missed him.

S.M.Jill - I know. All those naughty words and minor felonies.

SueAnn - Yeah. With role models like that, how can we fail?

Andrea - BEANS LOTS OF BEANS LOTS OF BEANS YEAH YEAH

Tooting - Thank you for the prize! And I know. Makes you miss 50 Cent but not really but still kind of because at least he was a proper badass.

Celtic - Yeah, it's pretty disappointing, isn't it? What's next? "I come from up in Philly/ girls be wantin' on my willie"

cE* - Outrageous Fortune is totally our best export EVER. Anthony Starr I think he is - not sure how much he gets paid but suspect it is a bit more than everyone else cause he keeps winning awards.

*this is my new nickname for you

cE said...I changed my name after people kept telling me I'm not THAT ugly. I watched Outrageous Fortune last night (it suddenly reappeared on late night TV) and I realised that when I read your blog, I imagine you look like the younger sister, which is a total compliment because she is clearly the coolest member of that family (having made a film about "jandals") unless she's done anything stupid in the episodes that I am yet to watch.
