Hills Mum Bec Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I absolutely love the song Without You by The Kid Laroi except I feel like one line in the song completely ruins it for me - Can't make a wife out of a ho. Uurrgh!What song do you love but hate the lyrics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alias Grace Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I loved the song "Love Really Hurts Without You" by Billy Ocean for many years with absolutely no idea of how awful the lyrics were until someone pointed it out on a similar thread on 9EB. I can't believe that I'd never paid attention to the lines prior to then! It's definitely ruined my enjoyment of the song but much better that than happily singing along to toxic male entitlement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A lot of songs I enjoyed as a teenager I now find hard to listen to. A lot of hip hop especially. The way they reference women is really awful. Like 'Always on time'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lees75 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 DD14 used to be a One Direction fan. Every time the chorus came on, I added my own words on the end....Everybody wanna steal my girlEverybody wanna take her heart awayCouple billion in the whole wide worldFind another one 'cause she belongs to me NO SHE DOESN’T, YOU TOOL,!

The way they reference women is really awful. Like 'Always on time'. Yep, a lot of the hip hop stuff where I LOVE the beat and everything else about the song, but now that I'm older and more sensible, I can't stand the lyrics. Usher's "Yeah!" is the first example that springs to mind; Ludacris' bit is disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyBear Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Showing some age and wouldn't say I love the song but I cringe at the lyrics of "All I wanna do is make love to you". Only paid attention to the full lyrics beyond the chorus a few years ago and can't get past the theme of the song when I hear it. Similarly I do like the song Escape (pina colada song) but hate that it's about two people planning affairs and only realised this a few years back.

ali-song Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I absolutely love the song Without You by The Kid Laroi except I feel like one line in the song completely ruins it for me - Can't make a wife out of a ho. Uurrgh!What song do you love but hate the lyrics? I had the exact same thought listening to that song - WTF?Others that annoy me:1D - What Makes You Beautiful: ‘you don’t know you’re beautiful, and that’s what makes you beautiful’. Seriously? So a woman is only beautiful if she doesn’t know it??Shawn Mendez - Treat You Better: ‘...and any girl like you deserves a gentleman’So... some girls don’t deserve to be treated well?

Destroying my innocent enjoyment of songs with crap lyrics. Whenever I talk songs with someone, it's always like "I love that song about the garden""What song""You know, the garden song! By this singer.""Do you mean...." Person sings right song and apparently lyrics aren't even close to being about her "loving her garden" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Without You song really catchy but was a bit sketchy on what some of the actual lyrics were and then I mentioned it to DD16 about how I like the song and she was outraged because of the lyrics and told me what they said, oops.

Uurrgh!What song do you love but hate the lyrics? I know right! Totally ruins it. I like Fuck You Goodbye and it would be the perfect breakup song except it references a cocaine diet. Ummm not something I partake in.Edit - We're Good by Dua Lipa is also great except for the cocaine reference. Is coke back in style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Cat Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Polygraph Eyes by Yungblud. It's actually a really good song about telling blokes not to rape drunk women but there's one line in it that jars me every time. He sings "we all know what happens next, a bit of fun turns to regret". Now, I'm 100% certain what he means is that she's gone out for a night with her mates and now she's regretting going out at all. But it sounds like he's saying she's agreed to sex and now regrets it in the morning and it bothers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123tree Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 “You’re gorgeous” by baby bird. Catch and the chorus is nice “you’re gorgeous I’d do anything for you...”. The other lyrics no so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarplum Poobah Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I love the wall of sound in terms of the sound itself -- Phil Spector not so much.But then there this (and I'm posting the link in case anyone thinks it's just too dreadful to actually be true) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelagic Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Eminem- Love the way you lie I love this song, AND love at least half of the lyrics. The ones I really don't like are the ones about leaving through the window guess that's why they call it window pane (partly because that one is so dorky as well), and the one about tying her to the bed and setting the house on fire. I don't often stop listening to a song because I don't approve of the lyrics or the singer/band. If the songs good, and I like it, that doesn't often change.
