“I’ll stay with you darling now,
I’ll stay with you till my seas are dried up”
Here’s the original by Cream. Lyric at 1:34
Yuck! but with a giggle.
Frank Zappa, Let’s Make The Water Turn Black.
According to Frank, a song about the true story of two young creeps living in a garage, where their bohemian lifestyle included:
- peeing in jars, setting the jars aside and forgetting about them indefinitely until someone noticed tiny lifeforms swimming in them.
- lighting each other’s farts
- wiping boogers on a window pane
- leaving raisins to ferment into fine wine
Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day
Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away
And all the while on a shelf in the shed
Kenny’s little creatures on display
Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
A marvel to be seen, dysentery green
While Kenny and his buddies had a game out in the back
Let’s make the water turn black*
and Concentration Moon, Frank’s cynical take on the summer of love:
Wish I was back in the alley
With all of my friends still running free,
hair growing out every hole in me
Some Nerdy Folk Duo who’s names I can’t recall has a song with the lyrics (as best I can remember);
“Sing a little song and do a little dance
Shake a little turd out of the bottom of your pants”
Camper Van Beethoven has a song with a line about bad breath that always makes me uncomfortable.
I remember as a kid hearing the line from Come Together by the Beatles, “hold you in his arms yeah you can feel his disease” and my stomach just turned over in nausea. I still hate that song.
Also “You’re Having My Baby” by Paul Anka and “Baby Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” by Mac Davis. Yuck!
…and as many times as you mention it, I’ll be here to observe that I think the theory’s a bunch of bollocks…
Moving right along …UB40’s Girl I’m gonna make you sweat
Girl, I want to make you sweat, sweat till you can’t sweat no more
And if you cry out, I’m gonna push it, push it, push it some more
Nothing much compared to some of the offerings we’ve had in this thread already, but… So. Not. Sexy. At. All. Blech.
For starters, sweat is an unfortunate side-effect of sex, not a selling point. Also, guys, I’m just not that into you personally, and really don’t need the specific mental image of the way you hump in my brain at this present point in time, kthxbai.
I heard it this very morning and while it didn’t make me go “yuck !”, I definitely reflected that it wasn’t one of the Beatles finest lyrics.
It’s not UB40, is it ?
That’s what a websearch seemed to say, but I will confess it didn’t seem right to me even as I was typing it. Because I LIKE UB40 generally
Alternate version:
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Itty, bitty birdy feet
All mixed up with vegetated vulture vomit
Swimming in eyeball soup (in eyyyyyyye balllllllllll sooooouuuuup)
Weezer’s Hash Pipe is pretty good, though I could live without any lyric that incorporates the word “teat”. Also, the phrase “I’ve got my ass wide” just makes me think of goatse.
No way. The guy is a working man who gets dirty at work but makes the effort to wash his hands for his lady.
Porcupine Pie by Neil Diamond is just a silly bit of fluff, but the line
is pretty eww-inspiring.
Chicken ripple ice cream? No thanks.
I agree with Sting: Every Breath You Take should not be played at weddings. Or anywhere else.
It’s a song about a stalker.
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me.
My poor heart aches
With every breath you take.
Sorry, when I hear “his clothes are dirty, but his hands are clean” I think of a bum. If he was a working man, he’d wash his hands AND change his clothes for his lady.
Bums aren’t known for handwashing. Maybe he doesn’t have any clean clothes or just got off work. The impression I get from the song is that of a man being quite taken by this lady and maybe he doesn’t have the nicest or cleanest clothes, but his intentions are good and his hands are clean. One could also interpret "his hands are clean"as being an honorable guy who works all day but is honest, as compared to the guy in the Brooks Brothers suit who just swindled someone out of his paycheck.
It’s not the song’s fault, but:
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
I’ve posted about this one before, but it’s worth mentioning again:
Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire.”
Perhaps I’m in the minority here but I find the lyrics reeking of pedophilia; totally creeps me out.
*Hey little girl is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone? mmm mmm
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire
Tell me now baby is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do? oh no
I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire*
shudder
The real reason that song makes my skin crawl is thinking about lying with Bob Dylan in a big brass bed. Sorry Bob!
Oh yeah - “Young Girl” is really creepy. I was going to type out some of the creepiest lines here but after reading through the lyrics I find that I would have to type out the entire song!
YUCK-O
I always cringed at the Ani DiFranco line “my cunt is built like a wound that won’t heal”.
Hee. I was 17 when this song came out, so kinda , sorta still a “girl”, and at the time I thought(wished)he was singing it just for me 
I just took “little girl” as some kind of term of endearment used by . . .whatever kind of dude also uses the term “daddy”. So, not literally a “little girl”; more like a 17 year old one ;). I can totally get the skeevyness now though.
Recently there was a thread (a resurrected zombie, IIRC)about Bob Seger’s *Night Moves *. I admitted that I never really understood the words (though I got the basic gist) and I was a bit icked to learn “points all her own, sitting way up high” refers to the girl’s breasts. I don’t know how to describe it but something about that description disgusts me just a little bit.
Me too, WOOKIN. Again, I think I have an issue with hearing it from that particular singer.
