Words can’t explain…or can they?
I turned the radio on in my car today for the first time in a pretty long time. I choose not to listen to the radio for the most part (aside from classic rock, 90’s alt and talk radio from time to time) because I find “radio” music to be pretty shallow and thoughtless….both musically and lyrically. My sentiments were not only confirmed but compounded today. Here are some of the amazing lyrics I heard.
Nickelback
You naughty thing
You’re ripping up the dance floor honey
You naughty women
You shake your ass around for everyone
You’re such a mover
I love the way you dance with anybody
The way you swing
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
Your so much cooler when you never pull it out
Cause you look so much cuter
with Something in Your Mouth
Buckcherry
i’m gettin drunk all night
ohohoh i’m gettin drunk all day
ooh i’m gettin drunk all night
i’m sorry but i have to say,
i’m too drunk to f**k.
Pink
No No I don’t want you tonight
You weren’t there, I’m gonna show you tonight
I’m ok, I’m alright and you’re just a tool
And to think that these people are paid millions of dollars to come up with this ingenious bs. The fact that the world loves it and sings along baffles me to this day.
Thank you Brandon Welch for thinking about things before you say them and not writing lyrics simply to cater to a world of “teenaged adult” music listeners. Touche.
