Horrible Song Lyrics

[Deleted]

About the Cupid's Chokehold song:

You don't cook pancakes! You bake them.

You cook them, they wither and die.

Clearly, I have issues. Stupid song.

[tinyshoes]

You don't cook pancakes! You bake them.

If you bake them, you'd stick them in the oven, right? I thought you fried them up on a griddle.

Don't cut me!

ETA: but still, dumb song

Yeah, I guess I usually say "I'm making pancakes." But technically, I'm cooking them on the stove, not baking them.

I hate made-up words in songs.

"Californication", "Un-Break", "Feenin'" and while I technically hate the name "D'yer Ma'ker", at least it's not actually a part of the song.

(There are passable exceptions to this rule: If the word you devised actually means something that you actually understand when you hear it and isn't needlessly made up - think "Wonderwall" - or catchy names, like "Abacab")

Or Mary J. Blige: "Don't need no hateration, holleration in this dancerie." That's so appallingly bad that it crosses the line to good.

I was just about to post the same thing. Hee. Oh, Mary J., I just can't hate you and your made-up words, try as I might.

Not to get in a great technical discussion, but here in Belgium, we use the term baking for pancakes.

Did I have something on topic? Eh no, move along.

I learn something new everyday. Now off to the slang thread I go...

I was listening to the Kanye West song Jesus Walks and caught him saying this: "The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus." Huh?

I can't believe he couldn't come up with something better. What a lazy arrogant jackass. The line before that one was "like the way school needs teachers" Off the top of my head a better line I could think of next would be "like the way churches need preachers" and I'm not a rich rap star.

Yeah. The "Churches and Preachers" line also fits in within the subject matter of the song. But what's really awful is Regis and Kathie Lee line. It's just so horrible and made me guffaw the first time I heard it.

I'd go with "The way Butt-Head needs Beavis," personally. ;D

And yet it's not nearly as bad as the line in his new song "Stronger", which goes "Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well I'd do anything for a blonde d***"
(Rhymes with, you know, Klondike, as if there aren't any other words that could possibly rhyme with it).

Really, Kanye? Really? He doesn't sound shocking or edgy when he says it - he sounds more like he doesn't know what it actually means.

Which is too bad because I actually like the samples and the production of the song. But Kanye, your rhymes make me cringe.
