Birds write songs? I always thought that they just scream "I want sex! Who wants sex? Sex, sex, sex!"

For ignorants like me, Dee Tee Eff stands for "Down To Fuck"

[–] Nonononoki@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

If you're classy, it stands for "desire to fornicate"

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 35 points 3 weeks ago

For some reason we also still like shiny things so really not that different from birds.

Nine Inch Nails - Closer

Hoobastank - Inside of You

Blood Hound Gang - The Bad Touch

Blood Hound Gang - The Ballad of Chasey Lain

Jimmi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

...off the top of my head

Fun Fact: Jimi Hendrix - Fire is, contrary to popular belief, not about this topic. The lyrics are quite literal in nature, telling the story about how he was visiting his band mate's mothers house on new years eve and he was cold as fuck. The "Move over, rover, let Jimi take over"-line is because there was a German Sheperd in front if the fireplace.

Come Together is clearly about John's bukkake fetish.

Jimmi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

Re-reading the lyrics, yeah, some of those are innuendo. But not remembering them right away, it felt like "like when i wrote "devil's haircut" i was feeling really... what's that song about?"

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think we can safely say most songs are love songs.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

Whole Lotta Love by Led Zep

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Somehow I don't think Trent Reznor wrote "Closer" in an attempt to get laid lol.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Might have been very horny but also very self aware.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Crosstown Traffic is such a banger

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

The country station where I'm at has been playing like 3 cuck songs on repeat for the last few weeks. Do those count?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Broke : Creating music to get laid
Woke : Creating ambient music for your next BDSM session with your sex partner

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, I've got the ambient music done. Now what?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
  1. have sex partner
  2. arrange your next BDSM session you usually do
  3. Press play

Sorry bro, I lucked out of it, that's why I'm teaching the advanced class, not the intro class

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What if I like psycore for bdsm 🧐🤔

Bird's don't sing like Ian Gillan.

Edit: By the way, I was late into my thirties before I realized that the Deep Purple song "Knocking at Your Back Door" was about buttsecks.

[–] Ooops@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

buttsecks

I would have guessed a different age... 😜

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Hmmm, does that mean Credence's "Lookin out my Backdoor" is about pooping?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

If I were a bird, would I be eating all of these worms?

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The real reason you kept singing outside of chorus and why you learned how to play the guitar in high school.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I just gotta say, coming from the perspective of a woman, an epidemic lack of artistry in men has contributed to extinguishing all my hopes and dreams and wishes about finding the man of my dreams because I just wanted someone to sing & dance with me. And have found no one.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

As a man who generally doesn't sing or dance, sorry and good luck lol

[–] etuomaala@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

So wait, are you disparaging humans, praising humans, disparaging birds, or praising birds?

[–] corvus@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

and crickets

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I also make a kick-ass nest out of twigs and leaves and such

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

This is a genuine "mind blown" moment for me. I will now need some time to process this.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks green Daria!
