You leave that long haired country boy alone, you hear? That's a fine little number, and I'll thank you not to forget it.

I loved Saddletramp and Fire On The Mountain. There are some great tunes on those albums. But when I heard Devil Went Down on Million Mile Reflections for the first time, I knew Charlie was ready for the county fair circuit.

I was thinking after I posted (distressingly familiar feeling, that), that looking for smart, witty lyrics in country music is probably more trouble than it's worth, although Rockabilly may be a different story (I would direct your attention to Exhibit A: Reverend Horton Heat, and specifically the ditty "Interracial Cowboy Homo Kind of Love").
So what I am saying is that The Devil Went Down to Georgia is not more nonsensical than any other country song, and a lot less than most. I realize that this is like a gold medal in the special olympics, but I think the objections to this tune are less to the lyrics and more to the country aesthetic behnd them.

So, by "radio friendly", I assume that you mean sans the vulgarity? Music without vulgarity is not music?

Most of Rush's lyrics are written by Neil Peart. And they're not even close to the worst out there.They're a bit dense, and occasionally a bit clumsy. But there's much, much worse. Ho, there are depths deeper than even the most stout-hearted amongst have yet to imagine. They're a bit dense, and occasionally a bit clumsy. But there's much, much worse.
I'm wondering how we managed to get to the third page without a single mention of 'my lovely lady lumps.' But I've always thought the most elegant bit of lyrical fuckery I ever heard was penned by none other than Sir Paul McCartney: Quote:

I got a dimeback, cortoroys, colored sleeves, and a bindle with some LSD. Now im just lookin for a girl to meet to help me to forget my name. I could spend my lifetime gettin high, never wanna live in suit and tie. Most of us are just livin a lie, drunk gettin fucked up every night. Im gettin drunk all night ooh im gettin drunk all day ooh im gettin drunk all night im sorry but i have to say, im too drunk to fuck. Now the party was jumpin and the girls were fine with the lipstick summer glaze. I got so many women comin after me i put some pussy on layaway. I was smoked out, tore up, drunk as fuck and i wouldn't wanna change a thing. Young and dumb and full of cum with a sugar loaded candy cane. I could spend my lifetime gettin high. never wanna live in suit and tie. Most of us are just livin a lie, drunk gettin fucked up every night. Im gettin drunk all night ohoh im gettin drunk all day ohoh im gettin drunk all night ohoh im gettin drunk all day ohoh im gettin drunk all night ohoh im gettin drunk all day ohohoh im gettin drunk all night, im sorry but i have to say. IM TOO DRUNK TO FUCK YOU! aaahh yeah im too drunk to fuck you (guitar plays for a bit). I can't eat, cant sleep, and im bored as fuck and the girl i want just walked away. She just found out im too drunk to fuck, looks like im not gettin laid. I could spend my lifetime gettin high, never wanna live in suit and tie. Most of us are just livin a lie, drunk gettin fucked up every night. Im gettin drunk all night ooh im gettin drunk all day ooh im gettin drunk all night ooh im gettin drunk all day ooh im gettin drunk all night ooh im gettin drunk all day ooh im gettin drunk all night. Im sorry but i have to say, IM TOO DRUNK TO FUCK YOU! YAAAAA... IM TOO DRUNK TO FUCK YOU. IM TOO DRUNK TO FUCK! This is what we've become I weep for our musical future |

Separate the lyrics from the music....
While "we built this city" is a totally indefensible song, the lyrics aren't any worse than, say, anything by Britney Spears, for instance, and while Ms Spears lyrics will certainly never be recognized for their insightful presentation of the foibles of the human condition ("oops, I did it again," indeed) they still stand head and shoulders and firm, perky bosom above the likes of "Honkey Tonk Badonkadonk", or "Why Don't We Do It in The Road" or Three Lock Box. Don't confuse the Music with the Lyrics. "Sweet Dreams are Made of This", wretched lyrics, good song. "Gin 'n Juice", Great Lyrics, hardly music at all (until the Gourds gave it the bluegrass treatment.) And, of course, I am as guilty as anyone else of injecting my personal disdain; in my case for the repetative with specific disgust for Techno. What we're looking for here are the mangled carcasses of language left when insipid metaphor meets rigid rhyme scheme, not mockery so much of the musical equivalent of William Carlos Williams, however mockworthy it is. OK, Rant over, I know return you to your regularly scheduled serving of fetid tripe, already in progress. Have fun with it.

True -- it is at least about something, instead of just cut-and-past rhyming garbage. You know who is really touted as deep and meaningful, but totally drives me bonkers lyrically (I'll probably get in trouble for this) is Coldplay. Navelgazing at its worst.

MIA has been making me want to pull my hair out. Can't turn on the radio without hearing that twats song. I was doing ok with it right up till the line "I got more records then the KGB"
I also have to go with Rage against the machine. Freaking musical McDonalds for pissed off teens and political science dropouts. The new piece of crap where he uters the line "M1 millimeter" just sets me off. There is no such thing as a fucking M1 millimeter. It's fucking wrong, and it bugs the shit out of me.

Percy, that Monkeybars tune is a delightfully fetid little piece of tripe. I know for a fact that my 8 year old daughter writes better songs. Well done.
Challah, Mrs. Hat tutors a metalhead who seems like a nice kid, but he's always trying to turn her on to Children of Bodom. Sort of makes AC/DC seem erudite, doesn't it? And the best part about it is that it sounds like it's sung by a guy gargling broken glass. Quote:

Ok, the one song that really drives me nuts is MISFITS-LAST CARESS- it's like teen horror bubble gum pop. It's got a catchy beat and gets stuck in my head, but I hate the lyrics.
MISFITS LYRICS "Last Caress" I got something to say I killed your baby today And it doesn't matter much to me As long as it's dead Well I got something to say I raped your mother today And it doesn't matter much to me As long as she spread Sweet lovely death I am waiting for your breath Come sweet death, one last caress Go Sweet lovely death I am waiting for your breath Come sweet death, one last caress Well, I got something to say I killed your baby today And it doesn't matter much to me As long as it's dead Sweet lovely death I am waiting for your breath Come sweet death One last caress One last caress, sweet death One last caress, sweet death Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh Oh [ A-Z Lyrics Universe ] |
