This week’s Playlist is the sequel to last week’s playlist which profiled some songs with terrible lyrics. This week I take a look at five more songs I love, all of which have equally strange lyrics.

Here we go!

HelloGiggles: Song Lyrics From Crazytown Part 2

Pete Yorn- Burrito

It’s a 7-11

Do you want to take a walk outside

If you want a burrito

You can have another bit of mine

Hey Pete Yorn, you cannot use the word “burrito” in a love song and expect the song to be taken seriously. Also, if your date wants a burrito, how about you get him/her a burrito instead of offering just a bite of yours? Prove that chivalry isn’t dead.

Train- You Can Finally Meet My Mom

Where do I begin with this song? Basically it’s about a guy saying that when he is dead he will spend his time in heaven with his girlfriend and not all the famous people that are there… and I know that sounds insane but that’s the sanest part of this entire song.

The first verse goes like this:

Don’t cry when I die

When it’s my time I probably won’t die

I’ll just lie down and close my eyes

And think about stuff

Really, Train? I’m pretty sure that death does not involve just thinkin’ ‘bout stuff but whatever you say.

Later in the song comes:

Life is good, but love it’s better

Even Bieber ain’t forever

WHAT?  What do any of those things have to do with each other?

Some other gems from this record:

I’ll be hanging out with you

Not Gilda Radner, Buddha or the dude

Who had pop rocks and soda at the same time

 

I kind of like that Gilda Radner and Buddha are listed side-by-side but in regards to “the dude who had pop rocks and soda at the same time” WHY would you even consider trying to spend time with that dude when you can see almost anybody else?

Culture Club- Time (Clock of the Heart)

The only line we need to focus on in this song is this one:

Time is like a clock in my heart

This analogy is SAT worthy. Time is just like a clock…

Shakira- Wherever, Whenever

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble

So you don’t confuse them with mountains

Shakira, I don’t understand. Why would anyone confuse anyone’s breasts with a large landform that stretches above surrounding land in the form of a peak?

Though, I must give Shakira props for promoting self-confidence instead of body-shaming.

Lenny Kravitz- Fly Away

This song isn’t terrible but the lyrics are just so… meaningless. But I guess that’s better than lyrics that just don’t make sense.

I wish that I could fly

Into the sky

So very high

Just like a dragonfly

I’d fly above the trees

Over the seas

In all degrees

To anywhere I please

I wish I could fly away sometimes too, but might I suggest therapy or a bowl of ice cream?
