Haven’t listened to it for a while but I always cringed/laughed listening to Black Skinhead where he fucks up his classical history
Four in the morning, and I’m zoning
They say I’m possessed, it’s an omen
I keep it 300, like the Romans
300 bitches, where’s the Trojans?

“All Day Long” by Change the Rapper
But that boy advance gotta be bigger than Diddy Kong
I need stock and it gotta be Pippi Long
Two clunkers in the space of two lines.

“Hey boy” they shout
“Have you got any money?” And I said
“I’ve a little money and a take away curry
I’m on my way home to my wife
She’ll be lining up the cutlery, you know she’s expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork”
You deserved that beating for too much middle-class information unloading, Weller. Also, what wine are you having with curry in 1978?
Oh, from “Wake Up” by Arcade Fire
I guess we’ll have to ADJUUUUUUUUUUU-AAAAA-OOOO-EEEE-OOOOOst

Haha, he’s like Leonardo DiCaprio but with an additional 45 years
I’ve always found the lyrics to Roy Orbison’s song ‘I Drove all Night’ funny
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
“is that alright?”

All credit to the good people of DiS but Bon Iver’s “I’ve been sleeping in a stable mate” (or stablemate) always cracks me up now

Always imagine Mary saying this incredulously to the wise men when they give her useless opulent gifts at the birth of Christ, instead of a posh airbed or even a campervan if they’re so rich.

Always quite liked this. That feeling when you’re blitzed on stimulants and your body is knackered, stumbling around the dying embers of a house party, mind raving at the speed of light itself.
Or it could just be two words that rhymed. It is NG after all.

The River is absolutely one of my favourite Springsteen songs, and it’s… it’s not even a bad lyric especially, cos it’s being sung from the perspective of someone who’s clearly just repeating what he’s been told by someone else, so in context it’s good, but
ON ACCOUNT OF THE ECONOMY
always cracks me up.
Just never fails.
Can’tI absolutely can believe it’s the same verse that ends with “is a dream a lie if it don’t come true, or is it something worse?”

Like he’s just leafing through Newsweek while singing the song
can’t even laugh at his lyrics, they just make me
hold, going to coin a word
‘hatevomit’
probs been coined by a grindcore band already but
Similarly, Born To Run is one of the best songs of all time, but the bit where he belts out
STRAP YOUR HANDS ‘CROSS MY ENGINES!
in complete earnest? Extremely unintentionally funny

Saturday Gigs by Mott The Hoople is a nostalgic telling of the band’s story and how their dreams of stardom seemed destined to failure in a way that builds to a big redemptive release, which it hits with the words… “BUT THEN WE WENT TO CROYDON!”
