C**P LYRICS
You know how it is - you listen to a song, you hear it on the radio - you've got the CD - you then discover that somewhere in amongst that top 10 'choon' there's some really dodgy lyrics - lyrics that make you cringe - Lyrics that make you wonder how they got in there....
Also - really nasty drum patterns, bass-lines and misheard lyrics! - plus those bits people shout in the middle of verses etc (Like Love Shack by the B-52s)
I'll start the ball rolling, shall I ??
Take the classic track by Starship - you know 'We Built This City' - in amongst that piece of 80's classic rock, are these two dodgy examples:
"Knee-Deep in the Hoopla"
and
"Marconi Plays The Mamba"
So - how does one get "knee deep in the hoopla" - and Marconi, playing the mamba - hmmmm, doubt it...
Admittedly, this is a poor argument even by my standards :)
And next, an outside entry - From my mate Andy Martin - I won't print out the full lyrics - but the track is "Doo-Wah Diddy" by Manfred Mann (??) - basically Andy's argument is simple - to quote him from the e-mail:
.....HOW THE F**K CAN ANYONE THAT
SHUFFLES THEIR FEET AND CLICKS THEIR
FINGERS WHILE SINGING SONGS THAT ALTER THE PERCEPTION OF MUSIC,
ITS NOT
HEAVY METAL...ITS MORE LIKE THICK GRASS. SHE MUST HAVE
LOOKED LIKE AN
ESCAPEE FROM THE MENTAL HOME!!
Thats my entry
No probs matey - thanks!
Oh yeah - that bit in the middle of 'Love Shack' by the B-52's - the woman shouts 'Tin Roof......Rusted......." (seriously)
Why ????
In the Alanis Morissette track 'Front Row' on SFIJ: (Admittedly a damn good track anyway!)
"You laughed a wicked laugh, and said 'come here let me clip your wings' "
WTF ????
Worse Still - is the incomprehensible lyrics behind the chorus
I shall re-count one example from the liner notes (and probably get sued by Maverick anyway !)
Here we go then - from within the first chorus:
"i'm too tired to recount the unpleasantries, one by one one minute i want to banish you the next i want to be on a deserted island with you along with three favourite cd's umbivalent yet in bed we've yet to acknowledge what really happened"
Not even the slightest smidge of irony at all.......
Oh, and the bass-line in 'Design For Life' - By the Manic Street Preachers! - Dodgy - listen to it! - I was only made aware of it thanks to Tom!
So there you have it - I was going to throw open the discussion on 'Exactly what was the 'Band On The Run' on the run from ?' - but Tom mailed me and put me right. Its all to do with someone making off with the master tapes for one of Macca's albums - I ahd an idea it was something like that........
So - If there's any lyrics at all, that make you cringe, or you notice a dodgy lyric in amongst those famous tunes - mail me, and i'll argue/discuss and then put it on the page.
Also - coming soon, in a bid to add more original content to his page, Seed asks you to send your 'misheard' lyrics - you know the one where you think they've said s**t or something similar.
Furthermore - Seed also ponders the answer to life itself, and also coming soon - Ultimate Pub Questions - those questions that you can throw in to start a really meaty conversation - for starters "If men can't breast-feed, why do they have nipples" - the answer is quite simple (my mum being the scientist, p****d on the bonfire and answered it)- but when your on your 6th pint of Stella Artois, the whole question suddenly has a new light!
"My Cat has seven lives, my Dog has seven wives, and i can see in your eyes, many many guys" - Love Love Love, by Jean-Michel Jarre, from Metamorphoses - not a dodgy lyric at all, its just the oddest, most bizarre lyrics i've ever heard - and yes you did read right - a JMJ album WITH WORDS - we're all stuffed at the next concert
