For me it’s the one where the singer goes “Let me hear you say Yuck!!”
Google the lyrics to just about every GWAR song…
Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat.
French fried flamingo feet.
French fried eyeballs swimming in a pool of blood
And me without my spoon
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.
The car I just bought has a slammin stereo system and I’m hearing lyrics I haven’t really heard clearly in my other cars with lesser stereos.
And wow, do I ever listen to some raunchy songs!
Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”:
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
I like the rest of the song, but…ew.
Are you familiar with teen tragedy songs?
Colorfully known as “tear jerkers,” “death discs” or “splatter platters”.
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
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” by the Pain Teens. Mostly because it’s the story of Sylvia Likens, a young girl who was tortured and murdered by a family who was supposed to be caring for her.
Yeah I know. 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 always wondered what BillyJoe McAllister and Becky threw off the Tallehatchie bridge.
( pretty sure I spelled Tallehatchie wrong)
Eta, her name wasn’t Becky
I’ve always liked Love U More 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.
I think it was Taylor Swift.
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?
Heh! Heard that one before. ( I am a Becky)
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.
I know it’s supposed to be sexy and all that,
but hearing Katy Perry sing about oral sex is just kid of “ewww”
'Cause I’m all that you want, boy
All that you can have, boy
Got me spread like a buffet
Bon a, bon appétit, baby
