Lyrics that make you cringe

[yello]

And that's laughably embarrasing rather than rude embarrassing.

 

[Chris S]

Blue Mink release a song called 'Great Big Melting Pot' which was intended to be an anthem for racial harmony. It used the words 'yellow Chinkies'.

[Gwylan]

I found Jane Birkin's heavy breathing on Je t'aime embarrassing rather than erotic.

What sounds do you find erotic?

Just wondering.

 

[Chris S]

Pink Floyd - Young Lust

(Ah) I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?

Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

I realize the words are used ironically but they're still uncomfortable to listen to.

 

[Beebo]

And that's laughably embarrasing rather than rude embarrassing.

The grunting and moaning noises on Big Love by Fleetwood Mac are awful to listen to in the car when you are a 14 year old boy and your mum is driving.

Don’t ask me how I know this. 😁

Was she singing along? 😂

Right at the start of one of the Beatles' few songs to have the misfortune of being written by Ringo, we're told:

He'd let us in
Knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden
In the shade

Even as a kid I used to splutter 'How can he know where we've been in his octopus's garden
in the shade when we haven't been in yet?'

"I've got an overdose of doctors notes"

Nobody outside RCT would understand that, Dave

I think there are other parts of South Wales where they might

 

[Alex321]

The whole of "I've never been to me" by Charlene is a train crash as far as I am concerned, but the worst verse went thus:

Sometimes I've been to crying
For unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free

That doesn't look like lyrics, it just looks like a collection of semi-random words.

 

[matticus]

"It's been a hard day's night."

wossat mean then??

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I should be so lucky lucky lucky lucky.

You bar steward

you know there are going to be people on here trying to get that out of their head for hours!!!!

 

[presta]

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue


On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue


All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
All day long, all day long, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue

 

[Dogtrousers]

The 'Serengeti' line in Toto's Africa

I had to look it up. It gets 10 Gallaghers on the cringeometer.

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

 

[Dogtrousers]

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue

Funny how different people react differently to the same song.

I have no objection to what you've quoted. Sure it's repetitive, but a lot of songs are. But you didn't object to this clunky, non-scanning, forced rhyme that sets my teeth on edge every time I hear it:

Because I've got a chaise longue in my dressing room
And a pack of warm beer that we can consume
