NoJ Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 "Thunder only happens when its raining" Some Fleetwood Mac song, sung by Stevie Nicks (I think) Why does that annoy me? I don't know but it does. Others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 "Thunder always happens when its raining" Some Fleetwood Mac song, sung by Stevie Nicks (I think) It's so true, though. Jump. Might as well jump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 That stuff is Shakespeare compared to My Humps. Have you guys heard the lyrics to that song? If you've got lumps, bumps or humps, you should see a dermatologist...or an oncologist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you've got lumps, bumps or humps, you should see a dermatologist...or an oncologist. The Flight of the Conchord's riff on that, Sugarlumps, is a riot.

NoJ Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 No, it annoys because it strikes me as an insipid lyric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 You have to loseYou have to learn how to dieIf you want to want to be alive always makes me want to say 'puleeze' (that expression annoys me, too - which makes it even more frustrating) - love the music/melody of the tune, though...

Atticus Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 please close the thread: Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination And I realized quickly when I knew I should That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man For whatever that means And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out What's in my head And I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream at the top of my lungs What's going on? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's going on? ooh, ooh ooh and I try, oh my god do I try I try all the time, in this institution And I pray, oh my god do I pray I pray every single day For a revolution And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out What's in my head And I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream at the top of my lungs What's going on? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's going on? Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Sharia don't like itThinks it's not kosherRocking the CasbahRock the Casbah. Love this band; HATE this song and album.Oh man. That piano riff is perfect. When I saw JS and The Mescaleros, and that piano riff started the 4th song of the night, the place erupted. Also, Stevie Nicks must have never heard of heat lightning/thunder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I hate the lyrics from Jack Straw, from the opening line: We can share the women we can share the wine. To The eagles filled the skyyyyyyyy... And, can someone tell me what word Bob is saying several times during the song, sounds like "Shallin" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twoshedsjackson Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 There's almost no point in mentioning any contemporary pop, dance, rap or country lyrics. It's all so laughably bad. My pick for worst overall lyricist would probably be Jim Morrison. Just awful, and made more so by his pretentious arrogance. American poet my ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
