I love hip hop from the 80's and 90's, but they've mostly just lost the plot these days. I shudder to think of the impact on people who enjoy this shite.

And while I'm at it, "get off my lawn!"

Those sorts of lyrics are the biggest single reason I never developed a fondness for rap. Death metal, and some punk songs, turn me off for vaguely similar reasons.

Most of them.

Not the word so much but the phrasing, for Fleetwood Mac's Dreams
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know

She sings washes with the emphasis on the second syllable
when the rain wah-SHEZ you clean...

for as many times as I've heard the song it doesn't seem to get less irritating.

The Outfield's "Your Love"

Mr. Big's "To Be with You"

I always thought it sounded like some sleazy pickup artist that selfishly wanted to take advantage of a distraught and vulnerable person purely for sex, while that person was suffering the trauma of a painful breakup.

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Besides being an awkward, dumb line, Kilimanjaro is 200 miles away from the Serengeti. It's like saying Olympus rises above the bootheel of Italy.

Are we human or are we dancer?

Probably neither.

... or 'as sure as Jordan Rudess turns down an endorsement deal'. It's just doesn't ring true.

Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time
...
'Cause I get home at five o'clock

Guy doesn't even put in an 8 hour day and thinks he's got it rough.

I always took it to be the one guy who don't get to be with the one woman who has slept with the whole town. He is content with waiting and even seems to enjoy watching how many she's with, without even looking in his general direction... Er, not much better.

That concept is similar to "The Tide is High" by Blondie:

"Every girl wants you to be her man, but I'll wait my dear, till it's my turn..."

I'm not sure if that song is a good fit for this thread though, because Debbie Harry has never rubbed me the wrong way!

The 1957 Broadway show The Music Man was based on a story by Meredith Wilson and Franklin Lacey with music and lyrics by Meredith Wilson. Music Man the movie was released in 1962 where you’ll see a bassoon in the marching band. (p.s. It’s NOT a good idea to march with a bassoon.) In the lyrics for the song 76 Trombones we hear the following:

“There were copper bottom tympani in horse platoons
Thundering, thundering all along the way.
Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,
Each bassoon having it’s big, fat say!”

Yeah but bassoons rhymes with platoons!

(And what about the tympani?)

Lyrics that just rub you the wrong way
