I am sick and tired of this pathetic song. This shit is what passes for music nowadays. It's actually irritating to listen to. The other day I saw some kids on the bus singing this song, I swear they couldn't have been over nine. So, I've written my own lyrics for this stupid song

What's you doin' listening to this junk
To lousy no-talent junk.
It'sa make make make make you dumb
Make you so mind just melt away
So dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb,
So dumb, so dumb, so dumb, this song's so friggin dumb (Serious)

This band drives me crazy,
They do it daily,
Everything they do is crappy,
I can't believe they're popular.
will.i.am and Apl.de.ap
Taboo and Fergie
Black Eyed Peas, has the stupidest namin'
Get so much money from their performin'
I have to ask why
Guys think Fergie's hot
I just think she's slutty
They're horrible but the fans keep taking
So they keep giving
The same bad lyrics
Useless rhythm repetition

My god, my god, my god, my god
My god I hate this song
So dumb, so dumb, so dumb
They got my head spinning
People spending lot's of money on them, and wasting time for them
They must find it funny
That they'd waste money for this

That band is just so dumb
I bet they can't walk and chew gum
They're gonna make make make make you dumb
Make you dumb with these bad songs
All she friggin does is shake her ass
Shake her ass and call it dancing
It's enough to make make make make me scream
It's like something from a preteens wet dream
Cos it's dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb
So dumb, so dumb, so dumb, this song's so friggin dimb (Serious)

I met a girl down at the disco
She said, hey, hey, hey yeah let's gp
But I don't want that lady, who wants to dance to this
Why don't you go good, not flashy
Not these dumb inuendos
I mean "MIX YOUR MILK WIT MY COCOA PUFF"
They think this is smart, yeah riiiiiight

They say they're really sexy
Idiot kids want to sex the,
But they don't anything
Except lousy excuse for singing
Teaching stupidity
And plain vulgarity
They can look but they can't touch it
Cause it's all fake
It's all artificial
Not, not real, no no no, not real
From their style to their voice
Their words to their personalities
It's not even worth to dance to
If that's what you want.

So dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb
So dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb, so dumb.
This song is friggin dumb (so-called song)
This song is friggin dumb (so-called song)
This song is friggin dumb (so-called song)
From begginng to end (so-called song)
Can't ever use grammar
Yet they're spending
Spending all their money on it, and wasting time on it
They must find it funny
That they'd waste money on this, on this, on this

I don't think I can't describe my hate
For all music like this
I just find it so so so dumb
That anyone can find this fun.
All Fergy does is shake her ass
Yet she gets so much attention
It's enough to make make make make me scream
Make me scream, make me scream.
Let's not even mention those "men"
Those useless pointless back-up men
Would they even know what to do with a breast
If a breast was in their hand
It would make make make make them faint
Make them faint, faint, make them faint.

Selling out for money
They make too much money, money
They don't do anything
Yet they got so much money

beep by pussycat dolls is more annoying. so is holla back girl. and the most annoying song of all time is "the song that never ends" because it goes on and on my friends. some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll just keep on singing it forever just becuase it is the song that never ends. yes it goes on and on my friends. some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll just keep on singing it forever just because it is the song. . .

She has a scary, vaguely man face.
I thought the song was a joke, i heard some guy cover it at a bar, and laughed at how ridiculas it was, then found out it was a real song (This is what happens when you don't listen to the radio, you have no idea what's popular)
However, Hollaback Girl is more annoying.

But I really like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch.
Willie shakspear wrote a whole bunch of sonnets.
Which, as he pronounced it, rhymed with hornets.
Ill just copy all the lyrics to prove to anyone who hasn't heard it how it's worse.
"New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer

[Verse 1]

Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
Met you one summer and it all began
Your the best girl that I ever did see,
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespere wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Sumthin in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,
Left one day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home,
Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speakin
Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

[Chorus]

New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer

[Verse 2]

Cherry Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
Always been hip to the B-boY Style
Known to act wild and make girls smile,
Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
Remind me of you because you rock my world
You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip hop and rock n roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry Coke,
I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge In the summertime girls got it goin on,
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like,
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

[Verse 3]

Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpet
Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it
Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Call you up but whats the use
I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose
Came in the door I said it before,I think I'm over you
but I'm really not sure
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
repeat Chorus

[Bridge]

In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so,
Summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so,
Summertime girls got it goin on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
"
You know what other song is horrible? This one
"Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby

Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try
Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill
Time is passing I'm asking could this be real
Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal

I can feel too much is never enough
You're always there to lift me up
When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found
Ever since you've been around
You're the women that I want
So yo, I'm putting it down.

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message
to show me life is precious
Then I guess it's true
But to tell truth, I really never knew
T'll I met you... See I was lost and confused
Twisted and used up
Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it

My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child
Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files
So yo. what' s happening now?
I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds
and a vision of you standing out in a crowd.

Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby
come my lady you're my
pretty baby ill make your legs shake
you make me go crazy

Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me
The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
Whatever tickles your fancy
Girl it's you like Sid and Nancy
So sexy....almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head
I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read but
you made me feel alive when I was almost dead

You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
and as far as I can see it don't get better than this
So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss
and a thank you miss.

come and dance with me
come and dance with me
come and dance with me
so come and dance with me
uhhhhh ha uhhh ha

Chiasm

04-23-2006, 04:15 PM

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms to go back onto the phone
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lilps to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

(emphasized in case someone doesn't realize which song it is since most only know the annoying chorous)
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway

Oh tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows that I'm okay
Oh you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

No!

Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?

No!

Dont'cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?

The worst is when you see girls singing and dancing along to this song. Don't you realize that this is encouraging your boyfriends to dump you for someone sluttier?

Count yourself lucky. That thing is deadlier thn the bird flu. The Pussycat dolls are a team of burlesque dancers/strippers who writhe around to annoying songs about themselves. If you have it on mute, it can be... useful. But god forbid you should ever have to listen to that drivel.

That Shakira/Wyclef song, "Hips don't lie."

Wyclef:
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Shakira:
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad

I don't see how saying Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa (What's your name, cutie, my house, your house) would make a woman go 'mad' at all.

Well, in the past, I've found that some Spanish-speaking women find it crazy attractive when a non-Spanish-speaking man puts an effort into wooing her in her own native tongue. Way back in the past.

Hey, "Ice, Ice Baby" is a classic example of decent pop-rap. It's got a catchy beat (and you have to credit Mr. Van Winkle with having the good taste to rip off Bowie/Queen) and good flowing lyrics that aren't any worse than your standard "I'm awesome" rap song. It was just severely overplayed.

As for "My Humps" ... I like to quote one of Harry Chapin's brothers from Harry telling the story behind "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" -

"Harry, it sucks."

You thought I wouldn't grow without ya, now I'm wiser
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya, but I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya, but I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya, sold 9 million
You thought I couldn't breath without ya, I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without ya, perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without ya, but I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya, but I'm livin'

no, it is in no way the worst song. while working as a waitress in a small restuarant, i had to listen to LFO's Summer Girls on a CD with only 10 songs...for 8+ hours. Summer Girls has got to be the most vapid, pointless, moronic song ever created in the english langauge. the writing is horrible. the music is horrible. it barely has a beat. Its like the bastard child of rap, pop and angry lactose-intolerant dookie.

it's people like these that make others think rapping takes talent...

i don't really mean that, but i know i'm late to theparty, but that song is the funniest song ever.
it's like, i can see warren zevon going "let's do random lines that don't make sense, and see if people would sing along?"
and then a pop band stole the lyric sheet, and was like "this is terrible, but we'll make it work!"
and it sold a million copies.

and i hold gorillaz to blame as a precursor to this "let's all sound like the 80s with electronic keyboard and bass drones!" attitude that every "indie" band thinks is cool.

and radio becomes more and more vapid and horrid every time a new kid comes along. AM had good stuff till FM got all the rockers, and now FM is entirely eyyyuch so internet radio and this XM stuff is trying. there's still little steven's underground garage, who for a time was the only radio show to play rock and roll.
good just isn't marketable. it doesn't take talent to be pretty unless you're an awesome makeup artist.

So turn it off.

i dont listen to the radio.
i already turned it off.
well, actually my stereo/radio died.
so it wasn't as much by choice, but all i liked was little steven's underground garage and some interview stuff anyway on FM.

oh, and if you're answer to criticism is always "then go do something else" then there won't be a critical lens on anything and everything will suffer in quality.
if you come into a thread made so people can relate to someone who couldn't stand a terrible song being overplayed and say "then don't listen" the z100 won.

I like most everyone else don't understand it but find it provocative **nods to Chazz Michael Michaels**

we need to take back the radio.I'd say that internet radio and file-sharing and music blogs have replaced it, to be honest. Much as their online print counterparts are replacing magazines.

I do miss good radio, though.

I've never known good radio. It was long gone by the time I started listening to music.

What was it like?

What was it like?Pretty damn entertaining if you happened to find the right station. Even ten years when I first moved to Vancouver, CFOX used to play all kinds of alt.rock, grunge, classic rock... quite a variety, in other words. I used to hear lotsa stuff that surprised me - it was probably the only station I'd ever heard that'd play Van Halen, Elvis Costello and Rage Against the Machine.

Then the company that owned them merged with the company that owned the big classic-rock station here (this'd be around 2001 or so), and suddenly CFOX couldn't play classic stuff any more. Then they got heavily into nu metal and anybody that sounded like Nickelback. They still tend to favour bands with that processed guitar sound.

Shit, THAT's what happened to the station, they were pretty damn good up until then, and I'd listen to them at home through my cable fm all the time.

Now the only radio I listen to is CBC.
