What a horribly garbled thread title. Just in case InKursion can ever post long enough to not get probated : all of my threads are terrible, especially this one - oh God, especially this one - and you should probably go to the gym or eat some vegetables instead of reading this nonsense. Buyer beware. This also a GD thing, not Music, TV, Box Office & Books. Also, there is a thread for Youtube videos, this is about the song words.

So, while I was listening to Huey Lewis and The News earlier over breakfast - I like Huey's music and it fits well with my morning breakfast routine - I was thinking about lyrics and how they often sound ridiculous if you take them out of context of the song.

An example :

The Minaj said:
Let's go to the beach, each
Let's go get away
They say, what they gonna say?
Have a drink, clink, found the bud light
Bad bitches like me, is hard to come by
The patron on, let's go get it on
The zone on, yes, I'm in the zone
Is it two, three? Leave a good tip
I'mma blow off my money and don't give two *****

On the screen, reading the words, it's hard to understand the message Minaj is trying to tell us. Are we going somewhere? Are we drinking? What zone? And who is leaving the tip? It's a mystery. Confounding and impudent, she tells us nothing of certainty.

Are there song lyrics which you strongly identify with and even if you were to post them on a computer internet forum would be understandable at least to yourself and possibly others even without the song playing? Possibly relating to important life moments - birth of a young one, death, that time you get a monster kill in Unreal - share those lyrics with us and tell us how they apply to your life.

I'll add mine if this thread gets any traction.
 

I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance


Not really, but I couldn't care less. :D
 
Weirdly I was thinking about starting a thread where people could post the song lyrics they find most inspirational or ones they feel hold some kind of deeper wisdom.......strange!!!


And is Inkursion banned again?
 
You can't stop looking at me, staring at me
Be what I be, you can't stop looking at me,
So get up out my face,
You can't stop clicking at me,
Writing 'bout me, tweeting 'bout me,
I can't stop, it's what it gone be,
It sounds like she's a porn star.
 
I was gonna clean my room, until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom, But then I got high
My room is still messed up And I know why, (why man) 'cuz I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

I was going to post how I consider these lyrics relate to my life but then...
 
Express yourself
Create the space
You know you can win
Don't give up the chase
Beat the man
Take him on
You never give up
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When somethings good
Its never gone
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
Now is the time
Let everyone see
You never give up
That's how it should be
Don't get caught
Make your own play
Express yourself
Don't give it away
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
Its one on one
Express yourself
You can't be wrong
When somethings good
Its never wrong
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
Loves got the world in motion
And I know what we can do
Loves got the world in motion
And I can't believe it's true
You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get round the back
Catch me if you can
Cos' I'm the England man
And what you're looking at
Is the master plan
We ain't no hooligans
This ain't a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we can't go wrong

Because my sex life that awesome... :eek:

We’re moving ’round and ’round
Can’t hear a single sound
And when I hit the ground
I heard a ringing sound
Uh-huh-huh
I heard a ringing sound
And my head hit the ground
Uh-huh-huh
Inside I’m upside down

Or that because I'm deep...

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Where she was selling pineapple playing ukulele
And when I went to the girl come on and teach me to sway
She laughed and whispered to me yes come tonight to the bay

The lovely beach and the sky
The moon of Hawaii
The rum calypso sarong
We'll all be singing this song

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

Then down on the shore
They gather romance
She showed me much more
Not only to dance

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

The lovely beach and the sky
The moon of Hawaii
The rum calypso sarong
We'll all be singing this song

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody
