For me it’s the one where the singer goes “Let me hear you say Yuck!!” ---

For many, many, many years I heard Blinded by the light Revved up like a douche in the night. I nearly wrecked my car the first time it blared on the radio. WTF? Next time I heard it played. Yep, douche. I always cringe when it plays. Crap song even without the misheard word. Decades later the web says deuce but I still hear douche and that’s just gross. I vividly remember those bags hanging in my parents shower. That singer needs to pronounce his vowels correctly. ---

Are you familiar with teen tragedy songs? Colorfully known as “tear jerkers,” “death discs” or “splatter platters”. > **[Teenage tragedy song](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_tragedy_song)** > > A teenage tragedy song is a style of ballad in popular music that peaked in popularity in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Examples of the style are also known as "tear jerkers", "death discs" or "splatter platters", among other colorful sobriquets coined by DJs that then passed into vernacular as the songs became popular. Often lamenting teenage death scenarios in melodramatic fashion, these songs were usually sung from the viewpoint of the dead person's sweetheart, as in "Last Kiss" (1961) By th... Dead Mans Curve. Let’s celebrate two dead teenagers. :eek: “Well, the last thing I remember, Doc I started to swerve And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve I know I’ll never forget that horrible sight I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right” Won’t come back from Dead Man’s Curve ---

> [@](#): > > ``` > Girl....You'll be a Woman....soon > > ``` > > Which mean’s she ain’t one now, so HANDS OFF. Gary Puckett definitely had issues along these lines. Between “Young Girl, Get Out Of My Mind” and “This Girl Is a Woman Now” it’s amazing he didn’t get a restraining order in with his record contract. ---

The hip hop artist The Wknd has a song called “The Low Life” which contains a line: “And I’m fucking anybody with their legs wide”. Didn’t specify man, woman, asleep, awake, nothing. Gross. ---

Aerosmith. “Janie’s Got a Gun.” “He jacked a little bitty baby.” The entire song [“Basement”](https://youtu.be/ufB4tWsOtAs) by the Pain Teens. Mostly because it’s the story of [Sylvia Likens](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Sylvia_Likens), a young girl who was tortured and murdered by a family who was supposed to be caring for her. ---

Which doesn’t make it any more germane to the song and actually dates it and/or adds more confusion to its inclusion considering the number of people who won’t know it’s a true story or why the heck he’s singing about it. Ugh. Ben. ---

We have had threads like this before, I’m pretty sure, because I know I have bitched about this yucky line from “Hammer and a Nail” by Indigo Girls previously: _I look behind my ears for the green Even my sweat smells clean_ Hey, if you want to sniff your sweat, go right ahead, but please don’t tell me about it. I really don’t want to know anything at all about how your sweat smells. ---

I’ve always liked [Love U More](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ru3gJ46dsA) by Sunscreem, but there’s that one line: _We can turn wine into water As fathers rape their daughters But you know you can never make me love you more_ The whole point is to make listeners say yuck. So yuck. ---

> [@WOOKINPANUB](#): > > _The Crash Test Dummies_ have a song called _Swimming in Your Ocean_. A pleasant enough tune that I just kind of enjoyed when it played, not really paying attention until the line “I wonder if my seed will find purchase.” That was gag inducing all by itself, and then I looked up the entire [lyric](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/crashtestdummies/swimminginyourocean.html) . That is some dreck. This reminded me of Steve Miller’s “Jungle Love”. I’ve always cringed at the lyrics “You treat me like I was your ocean/You swim in my blood when it’s warm.” WTF? ---

> [@actualliberalnotoneofthose](#): > > Any song about sex from Ed Sheeran or members of One Direction (I’ve had to listen to teenage pop music a lot at my second job), especially with weird added sound effects. In the late 1970s, there was a Bay City Rollers spinoff band called Rosetta Stone that covered “Sunshine of Your Love.” Let’s put it this way: HOW did the line “I’ll stay with you till my seeds are dried up” get on the radio in the late 1960s? 😕 And if you REALLY want to go over the top, there’s anything by GG Allin. The most disgusting of them all actually has a bit of a tune, and is called “Expose Yourself To Kids” I’m not going to post a link to that, in part because of the two-click rule. ---
