Can We Pretend That Airplanes in the Night Sky are Like Shooting Stars?

...I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now *B.O.B ruins song*
I'm really not into that kind of music, but I have heard the song before, and honestly, I love Hayley Williams's voice... My airplane wish is to sing like her. Or maybe just to be able to sing... I cannot, cannot! sing in front of people. I get so scared. >.< Anyway, that's not the point of today's post.

Before I get to the random topic of the day, let me direct you fine people to a blog of a friend of mine... he commented on my blog (which made my day) so I shall put a link to his right here...

I FINALLY LEARNED TO PUT LINKS ON HERE!!! *pats self on back*

Anyway, the random topic of the day, as suggested by the annoyingly catchy title...

STUPID SONG LYRICS.

You've heard them before, when you are so unable to find good music on the radio that you turn to that always-there, always-annoying, always-Ryan-Seacrest-never-shuts-up radio station that only plays the "hit" music that no one really likes. From some recent and maybe not-so-recent songs, here are some of the absolutely

1. Stupidest
2. Most pointless
3. Senseless

lyrics that I can think of.

Yes, I am the type that listens to the lyrics, not the beat, or the instruments. I have always loved words (more on that in the future) and I love to decipher words for the deeper meaning. And lucky me, I'm usually right, even if I don't have the faintest idea as to what I'm talking about. It's my one real talent. :) These here lyrics though, they don't need to be put into other words, for these words are so badly put together that ... well, it's just bad.

1. "Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like P-Diddy" ~Ke$ha, Tik Tok
There are several things wrong with this picture. First of all, how the HELL do you wake up feelin' like P-Diddy?? I know it's a pop song, made for the beat and such, but STILL. Do you even KNOW P-Diddy, and how he feels when HE wakes up? Hmm, thought not. Second of all, most of us wake up in the mornin' feelin' like total SHIT. So, Ke-dollar sign-a (Credit to What the Buck Show), who obviously has no idea how to spell. It's "Tick" and "Tock", lady. (Is she a lady..? The world may never know.)

2. "Just one more moment/that's all that's needed/like wounded soldiers/in need of healing" ~ Nickelback, I'd Come For You
Yes, Nickelback. One of the most made fun of bands of this decade (or last one). Honestly, it took me forever to get what they were saying in these lyrics. First, I thought they were like "Wait up!! I love you!" which is pretty much the point of the song. But then they add the solider reference. I've made some pretty weird references, but none this out of context... I do now understand they are saying they need a moment, as in a moment to help the soldiers. Right here is some pretty solid evidence that Nickelback just tries to hard. I like "All The Right Reasons" wayyy better than Dark Horse! They're trying to do rock AND be mainstream, radio-friendly... doesn't work, honey.

3. "Lost from the start, I might as well be on the moon/much colder than I thought, even in the month of June" ~Daughtry, "Supernatural"

I know most of you won't know this song. And Daughtry is one of my absolute FAVORITE bands, so I feel bad for ragging on them. But seriously, this song starts off making no sense whatsoever. I KNOW there are worse lyrics out there (READ: KE$HA) but whenever this song comes on "shuffle" on my iPod, it just pisses me off to start off with those terrible lyrics. The song pretty much is about losing something/someone special, and the feelings are just so beyond words that they're "Supernatural" (hence the song title). The lyrics after this make this seemingly terrible song not so bad after all. "Now it's too late, it's takin' over me, it feels so supernatural... when it's more than psychical, it's kinda hard to see beyond the glow..." I love Daughtry.

4. "I'm tryna find the words to describe this girl/without bein' disrespectful/ DAMN,SHE'S A SEXY BITCH, A SEXY BITCH..." ~David Guetta feat. Akon, "Sexy Bitch"

Oh, Akon. You just have the words for EVERYTHING, don'tcha? :) He "Wanna Love You" and "Smack That", and the best words he can find without "bein' disrespectful" is "DAMN, SHE'S A SEXY BITCH!!!" :D OMG!! I'm SO FLATTERED!!! David Guetta, Akon, or whoever was "clever" enough to write these lyrics... you failed. Hard. No girl wants to be passed by and catcalled at "DAMN, SHE'S A SEXY BITCH!!". There could be any number of meanings behind it...

and now, for my FAVORITE DUMB LYRICS OF ALL TIME... :D

Luda
"When I was 13, I had my first love,
There was nobody that compared to my baby,
And nobody came between us or could ever come above
She had me goin' crazy,
Oh I was starstruck,
She woke me up daily,
Don't need no Starbucks.
She made my heart pound,
And skip a beat when I see her in the street and,
At school on the playground,
But I really wanna see her on the weekend,
She know she got me gazin',
Cuz she was so amazin',
And now my heart is breakin',
But I just keep on sayin'..." Justin Beiber feat. "Luda"cris, "Baby"

This.Song.Is.Completely.Terrible. Every lyric is another reason to hit a baby or budge in front of veterans at the grocery store... And those are two things i would never do...
Anyway, I decided to take the absolute WORST part of the song, and dissect it with all the horrid, witty bullying powers that I possess.


"When I was 13, I had my first love" ... You were 13. It was not LOVE. It was LUST, or puppy love. Or obsession... that's pretty typical for a 13 year old.

"There was nobody that compared to my baby
And nobody came between us or could ever come above" So, this "baby" comes before all your friends, all your family, God (sorry to bring that in)...? Hmmm? :)

"She had me goin' crazy, Oh I was starstruck" THAT'S CALLED OBSESSION!!! IT'S NOT LOVE!!! (less than threeeeeee:) <3

"She woke me up daily, Don't need no Starbucks" HAHAHA. So, this girl came into your room, calling out with her sweet, silky voice, "Wake up sunshine, the earth says hello!!" She comes in with a Edward Cullen-esque manner to her step, which is shocking enough to definately wake you up without no Starbucks. By the way, it's not paticularly good to 1. Drink coffee at that age, and 2. To get Starbucks a lot. It's rather fattening, and caffine IS in fact a drug. Luda!!

"She made my heart pound, And skip a beat when I see her in the street and" Let's be brief here. If your heart is "Skipping a beat", you're dead. (:

"At school on the playground" THIS IS THE WORST LYRIC OF THE SONG!!! BWAHAHAHHA!!! Dear Justin/"Luda", if you want to sound mature/black/at least a little musically talented, please do not talk about the playground in your song!! This is the most evident piece of evidence that Mr.Beiber is still a boy, not yet a man (or wo-man).

"But I really wanna see her on the weekend" Then ask her to hang out on the weekend!! Don't come crying to me about it... it's not that hard. There's this thing, Justin, it's called "making friends". Wanna try it? The word is "girlFRIEND" for a reason.

"She know she got me gazin', Cuz she was so amazin'" ... that's one self-centered girl right there. She KNOWS she got you gazin' ?? What a bitch.

"And now my heart is breakin'" Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and let me run you over with my Segway. Why? 'Cause I CLEARLY DO NOT CARE!!

"But I just keep on sayin'..." *enter chorus* Saying? You're singing/rapping, dumbass. Those are NOT synonyms to "sayin' "

So, now I'm done ranting and being so negative-Nancy. So, to end this on a positive note (which is a MUST when it comes to children and animals) I am going to give you some songs to listen to which actually have some GOOD lyrics, and GOOD beat and a GREAT message.
