Song lyrics one liners that anyone under 30 won’t understand

[AndyRM]

I don't know about Castellas but that line reminded me of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please by Splogenessabounds

I think most people under 30 would get that one because of the TV show, which was inexplicably popular for far longer than it should have been.

I bet many of them (and older people ) don't know the song. I've never watched the TV show but I understand that it's theme music is not this song

I think young people still go to the pub.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I think young people still go to the pub.

And I think they still sell crisps. But not Castellas

Who would ever have thought that TWO different pieces of music would be created, with the title
Two PInts of Lager and a Packet of Crisps PLEASE.

The title of the TV show was "inspired" by the earlier song

We Name The Guilty - The Vibrators

If I could find a lyrics site with it on, I'd post a full list of the guilty. Unfortunately I can't find one so you'll have to make do with four that I can remember.

The guilty that they name are quite numerous and include a fair few names that I didn't understand at the time and still don't.

Reading the first line of this reminded me of this:

There's plenty in there most under 30s won't have a clue about.

Unsure if 'Gen Z' would get it but I've always loved the lines by Phil Collins in Jesus He knows Me:

I believe in family with my ever lovin' wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend...or the man I met last night

 

[Fab Foodie]

Wow
are they the words??

I always thought it said

which makes less sense - always thought it was funny!

Me too!

 

[Fab Foodie]

Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

How can you not love this bit:

Well, that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way
for my Lola
L-O-L-A, Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,
except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Great stand alone lines, but the tender and reflective way they're expressed within the song just adds extra magic....

I think most people under 60 wouldn't know what this meant, I had to Google it.
