Lyrics or quotes that make you cringe.

"What does the fox say? *Obnoxious noises*"

There's others but that's what pops into my head first.

Yeah they sort of do make those obnoxious noises xD
But i agree, i fucking hate that song so much i want to strangle any person that ever plays it loudly in a public place......

 

[Fredvdp]

Anything involving putting your hands in the air like you just don't care. I've heard that one a bit too often.

 

[Kged]

This is a song called "Life" by a deservedly obscure British singer called Des'ree. It has won awards as The Worst Lyric Of All Time. Are you ready for this? No. No you are not ready for this. I beg forgiveness, international friends - soon there will come a time in your life when you can look back to the days before you encountered this song, and reminisce about how everything was better back then.


"I'm afraid of the dark
Specially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around,
I get the shivers.

I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news."

Professional musicians actually made this happen to the world. I'm still coming to terms with that.

Though, for the record, it makes me cringe in the good way...???

It's just really nervous and weird before it just turns into psychedelic syllable soup devoid of meaning.

 

[CharrHearted]

Can I just go with 'Anything Bob Dylan ever says'? The man's voice is termites in the ears.

Yeah! .. WAIT, WHAT?!

Spoiler

I am honestly intrigued, why is he so bad? XD

 

[FalloutJack]

Okayo

Alright, little background on me. I'm a half-Irish person living in the U.S. who enjoys a great many things. I like rock and classics, jazz and blues, and I'm even alright with country and rap. Hell, I'm cool with bagpipes and accordians...played properly.

I heard Bob Dylan and something deep inside of me went "NYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUGGGHHH!!!!" because his voice disagrees with my senses. I begrudgingly accept that he probably wrote some good lyrics, but I won't be listening to them so long as he's the one singing them. It's just the voice.

 

[Unia]

"Misery builds character."

Though I suppose that one is technically correct. After all, resentment, frustration, pettiness and vengefulness are character traits.

I'll add to that "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". By that logic PTSD and any other sort of mental trauma count as superpowers. Oh, and wheelchairs are SO much better than a working pair of legs.

 

[DanDeFool]

Two examples:

Hawthorne Heights in "Ohio is for Lovers": "...you know you do/ you kill me well"

Me: She kills you... "well"? As in, she does a good job killing you? You really couldn't come up with a better way to describe that?

Maroon5 in "Payphone": "...even the sun sets in paradise"

Me: I can't convince myself that this lyric is supposed to mean anything but 'even in paradise, the sun sets'. Yeah, I get it. However, the lyric, as written, implies that everything, including the sun, sets in paradise. You'd better watch out, buddy! The building you're in might set over ther horizon, trapping you in a neverending chasm of eternal darkness. Sounds like your recent breakup is the least of your problems.

In short, if I have to suppress my inner grammar nazi to enjoy your song, I hate you.

 

[DanDeFool]

Living in Korea, you hear quite a few, since they practice the same phrases over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Some of those are listed below, and most come from either students or Korean English Teachers:

-Snip-

5) Do you have girlfriend? Do you have wife? Do you have children? Do you have gay? (in that order)

"Do you have gay?"

...

Did someone really ask you that? That is adorable. I'd just want to pinch that poor confused Korean's cheeks and say "Dawww!"

In any case, might make a fun conversation with my friend who lived in SE Asia for a while.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

I can't name anything specific, but a lot of R&B types that go along the lines of "'Ey, gurl. I'ma show you to a good time 'cause I'm such a playa."

Fast-forward a couple albums and the rigmarole switches to "Gurl, I love you. Honest. That other girl don't mean nothin' to me. You my Number One 4 eva."

Next thing you know, said singer is involved in a domestic dispute or some sort of divorce case. Womp-womp, to quote Archer.

When that fails to sell, said singer usually tries to embrace the fact that he's been fundamentally acting like a complete and utter scumbag. "Man, I don't give a shit; bitches left, right and center! Shake that bootay!"

And then obscurity swallows them.

I also have this thing where really self-absorbed Symphonic Power Metal bands bother me. You've got this series of extensively researched solos and movements, and the only thing your singer can reference is his last Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this. Wizards being kickass and lone warriors fighting to the bitter end for their fair maiden only take you so far...

That is AMAZING!I actually like that one!

 

[Nouw]

'What does'nt kill you makes you stronger', is one of the most grindingly cretinous, pieces of garbage, ever said.

It's total and utter bullcrap.

If something nearly kills you, you are going to have mental and phsyical scars.
You also can get PTSD, and other things.

It does the absolute oppossite of making stronger.

The only people who would say it, are people who never had to deal with anything bad, or nearly died.
Or retardedly cretinous morons.

You know for some reason I don't really think it's meant to be taken so literally . It's just a fancy way of saying you can grow as a person having endured and experienced hardships in life. It's an attitude thing you know?

 

[Something Amyss]

Every time I hear that song, I worry that this time, THIS TIME, it'll end with her wearing his skin.

Given it's a pop song, wouldn't that be a far funnier ending?

Sort of ironic

Only if you assume that I'm Christian or pro-life.

Actually, no. I didn't even bother to think about whether you were Christian OR pro-life. The fact is, my statement of irony is even more apt if your selective application here doesn't come from a place of "abortion=murder!!!!!!!!!"

I mean, you even say:

a bad argument is a bad argument wherever it lies.

But that was my point in the first place.

Rand Paul in general just pisses me off. Most of what he says makes me cringe.

 

[Fox12]

Rand Paul in general just pisses me off. Most of what he says makes me cringe.

He's certainly not as good as his father, or Justin Amash, but I prefer him over the neoconservative right and the members of the surveillance state left. Of course, It's gotten to the point where I can't distinguish between the two any more. Atleast Rand has some respect for civil liberties.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Almost any fucking song by that band(?) Blood On The DanceFloor. That, my friends, is not even singing /or/ lyrics. That is horrible to the tenth degree. It shouldn't even fucking exist.

 

[ForumSafari]

Actually, no. I didn't even bother to think about whether you were Christian OR pro-life. The fact is, my statement of irony is even more apt if your selective application here doesn't come from a place of "abortion=murder!!!!!!!!!"

I mean, you even say:

a bad argument is a bad argument wherever it lies.

But that was my point in the first place.

It just sounds like you're mad because I'm not being fake even-handed to the side you agree with. The fact is I can find pro-choicers more annoying than pro-lifers despite each side being equally idiotic, it's the delight of having opinions. As it goes I tend to find any side that happens to agree with me but runs around screaming "durrrrrrrrr" and beating a stockpot on their head with a ladle to be far more annoying than the other guys. The beauty of an idiot you disagree with is that you can call him an idiot, the pain of an idiot that agrees with you is that he makes you look like an idiot and you can't disprove his beliefs.

Also that isn't irony. it's called you not understanding the full basis of my selection criteria.

 

[LittleThestral]

Maybe, just maybe the second paragraph needs the video for context. You know, because in the vid they're neighbors and BFFS. Who hang out a lot and can see each other through their respective bedroom windows so they sometimes communicate with words on poster boards they raise up so the other can see. But I'm pretty sure that's only figurative anyway.

But there's nothing creepy about the first part. And the third one? Where? HE'S the one driving to her house in the middle of the night. Not the other way around. It's not like she's showing up out of the blue. The guy that she's crazy about did that.

Which would be fine if it were a movie and not a song. The music video's based on the song, not the other way around.

The creepy stalkerness comes from Taylor acting and sounding like a Nice Girl (the vagina equivalent to the oft-bemoaned Nice Guys). "I've been here the whole time! I'M the one who knows EVERY LAST DETAIL about you! WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?!"

What's so bad about this one? I think it's both clever and funny.
