People posting song lyrics should put "song lyrics" in the title line

[Rabrrrrrr]

so that I know to ignore the ^*&$#&^$ things.

I can't tell you how many times I've clicked on a thread that looks interesting, only to find out it's some piece of shit song lyrics posted, as though that makes some kind of "point".

I don't care what fitty cents has to say about poppin' caps and giving props to peeps.

I don't care what some unwashed organic dope-fiend 20-year-old nubbin poet-wannabe caucasian with dreadlocks has to say about The Man.

I don't care what a throaty, breathy, overprocessed psudeo-intellectual 20-something who's read too much Nietzsche, and doesn't get it at all, in between her manicures that her parents pay for, who thinks she's "profound" and "relevant" spouting off about poverty.

And on and on and on.

4. *makes fish gill gesture*

Yesterday I went shopping buddy down to the mall
Looking for something pretty I could hang on my wall
I knocked over a lamp before it hit the floor I caught it
A salesman turned around said Boy you break that thing you bought it
You can look but you better not touch boy
You can look but you better not touch
Mess around and you'll end up in dutch boy
You can look but you better not no you better not no you better not touch
Well I came home from work and I switched on channel 5
There was a pretty little girly lookin' straight into my eyes
Well I watched as she wiggled back and forth across the screen
She didn't get me excited she just made me feel mean
You can look...
Well I called up Dirty Annie on the telephone
I took her out to the drive-in just to get her alone
I found a lover's rendezvous the music low set to park
I heard a tappin' on the window and a voice in the dark
You can look...

3. You said it!

Most of the time I can tell (especially if I recognize the poster as someone who posts a lot of lyrics), but sometimes I get snagged same as you do.

:grr:

5. How about o/`song lyrics o/` instead?

Little notes on each side.

Or, just bookend the song's title with the notes.

[Hardrada]

7. How dare they waste our time?

Mental pipsqueaks!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Damn right! And they never post anything good anyway,

like the Beatles or Sabbath or Zappa or anyone with something actually interesting and relevant and thoughtful to say.

[Elidor]

9. Yeah, like The Illinois Enema Bandit, or Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?

Zappa was such a deep man. :eyes:

Just for this thread, I'm going to post a separate thread for every Styx song that was ever recorded. :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Damn you!

[Elidor]

11. Ooooh, did I touch a nerve?

So solly, cholly! :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Double damn you!

[terrya]

13. I agree with you.

We all have our favorite songs and maybe they have lyrics that you want to share at DU.

But if you want to post them, do label them as song lyrics. Or, even just put the title of the post in quotes, at least. I've done the same thing as you, Rabrrrrrr...opened up what I thought would be an interesting post only to discover that it's song lyrics from a Metallica song or some such thing.

I'm Bored - Iggy Pop

I'm bored

I'm the chairman of the bored,
I'm a lengthy monologue
I'm livin' like a dog

I'm bored

I bore myself to sleep at night
I bore myself in broad daylight coz

I'm bored
Just another slimy bore

I'm free to bore my well-bought friends
And spend my cash until the end coz

I'm bored
I'm bored

I'm the chairman of the board

I'm sick
I'm sick of all my kicks
I'm sick of all the stiffs
I'm sick of all the dips

I'm bored

I bore myself to sleep at night
I bore myself in broad daylight coz

I'm bored
I'm bored

Just another dirty bore

I'm sick
I'm sick of all my kicks
I'm sick of all the stiffs
I'm sick of all the dips

I'm sick

I'm sick when I go to sleep at night
I'm still sick in the broad daylight coz

I'm bored
I'm bored

I'm the chairman of the. . . BORED!

Whatever gets you through the night
