a lot of the shit american songs generic german radio stations played every day for all my life is just fucking religious bullcrap through and through
it can't be the lyrics, they don't make the cognitive effort to process them. they just vibe with the blandness
Like a Prayer. I always laugh when I hear catholics sing this. they have no idea they are singing about giving blowjobs.
He is the smartest one, but always looks like a total dipshit.
Semi Charmed Kind of Life by Third Eye Blind.
At first when I really heard the part about snorting crystal meth I thought I must have downloaded some weird cover like the ones you used to sometimes get from Limewire.
Lmao, it was while reading this comment that I realized it wasn't Semi-Charred Kind of Life, a mistake that ironically helped me see that it was darker than it seemed.
It makes the line "I want something else to get me through this semi-charred kinda life" pretty obvious that he has negative feelings about it and from that I could guess that there was some kind of pain between the lines, though younger me thought maybe infidelity or some kind of mania (which I guess isn't too far off the mark).
That said, despite the hidden tone, that song always makes me feel good. The overt tone is just so upbeat!
Republicans when they realize they are “the machine”
Wow Paul Ryan really just vanished, huh?
Remember those photos of him posing as working out? So strange.
Dude moved on to the Fox board of directors and private equity.
If he was any more machine he’d have Roomba written on his ass.
My theory was that he dipped out of the GOP spotlight to plan his return post-Trump and play the part of the reasonable conservative.
When he returns to the GOP, it will be unrecognizable. It will be like Charlton Heston discovering the Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes.
I agree with your theory, but I also agree with starik.
Ryan is never going to be relevant again. I think the kingmaker at the 2028 Convention with be MTG. She dropped out before this war started, and won't have to run in 2026. I look for her to become an omnipresent talking head, bemoaning how MAGA was sold out by Trump.
I completely forgot about that twink until just now
I know this post was supposed to be about "Every breath You take" and "Hey ya", but these days "Born in the USA" and "Fortunate son" sung by conservatives come to mind.
born in the usa is the most american song of all time
Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Piña Colada Song)
It's about 2 spouses planning to cheat on each other because they're bored with their marriage. The only thing that saves them is he coincidentally responds to her personal ad in the newspaper and they laugh about it after meeting up. They're shitty people
Oh, yeah. Another one is Sad Eyes by Robert John, telling his his temp girl that his real girl is coming home today, she knew it was going to happen and he doesn't want to see her cry. "I never used you," lol.
There are quite a few of them. One that's been in the news lately is Lola by The Kinks, which Moby called unenlightened and he's right. One I always found creepy was Cat Stevens' Wild World saying goodbye to his lady, because whatever he's wishing her it's not well. "I'll always remember you like a child, girl."
That's not even starting with all the underage lyrics.
The 70s were amazing for music, but there sure are some clunkers in there.
That's Another Day In Paradise by Phil Collins.
I first heard the song as a child, on the radio being driven around by my parents. Didn't really take the verses on board, and the chorus is simply repeats of "Oh, think twice. It's another day for you and me in paradise." With that big romantic hook and the warm breezy feel, as a kid I interpreted it as a groom asking his bride to consider extending their tropical honeymoon. I filed it in the same mental folder with Fields Of Gold.
It's a song about abject poverty, about haves and have nots. Verses are about beggers on the street calling out to the wealthy who pretend not to see them. It lands like a brick.
Everyone when they listen to “Semi-Charmed Life”
But don't say "panties" on the radio! Proceeds to play lyrics about doing crystal meth.
“Pumped up kids”
Edit: kicks (and I had checked the lyrics…)
*Kicks
Also, that song is over 15 years old now?? 👶 👨 👴
That song isn't very subtle
Mr Brightside. I remember hearing the song when I was at uni, first thinking it was a real banger and in a drunken haze in a club started to actually listen to the lyrics and felt an uncomfortable connection, realising it was from the perspective of someone being cheated on and I'd gone through something similar at the time.
Pointed out that Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) is the same kind of music as Sixteen Tons to my wife. Was fun watching her realization as we were listening
Tell mister tally man, I can't go, I owe six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch to the company store.
Racing into The Night. She said kokoro at one point, that means heart right? I bet it's a love song or something
oh
average response to the translated lyrics of the dancing cow song
There's only one thing on my mind
five grams of coke, fly away alone
to the land of nevermore
There are thoughts inside my head
when this state will end
When I won't be alone
Cause white eel* will kick in /x2
99 red balloons as well imo.
My BIL had this moment listening to Copacabana on a vacation one time
"WTF They killed Tony!"
And Lola never completely recovered, became an alcoholic, and she’s still trying to live in her past.
For Barry, the song is pretty dark.
No cock like horse cock
For me that was more laughing uncontrollably than horror, dude sets up the intro so well and has that weird old timey vibe spot on so it’s so unexpected
So subtle from the title
this song, but really this whole album. my wife does not like me performing this song. she thinks i mean it too much.
if you aren't paying attention to the lyrics of mountain goats songs you're missing 2/3 of the fun.
One of my favorite bands in China released a song called "Hang The Police" over 20 years ago. And they still play it live there. The chorus is going on my sign for no more kings protest this weekend:
Hang the police under his shotgun. Hang the police before we are all murdered.
Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face (she's got me like nobody) Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah) Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)
Anyone had this with a song called blurred lines?
My wife really liked the sound of "A Little Piece of Heaven" by Avenged Sevenfold until I told her what it's about 😂
