LM 4,067 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 1 hour ago, britneyspears said: Poker face is a very common expression in English, so it's not out of place at all. Saying "like Chinese water torture" is a terrible simile. You can't really compare words to Chinese water torture either. It's a very badly written song. Katy writes good choruses, but frequently messes up with bad lyrics like this. she's not comparing anything, she's just using a metaphor. It's the same like "or wear an ear condom next time" Both are just metaphors...idk if you just hate Katy or you didn't get it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that "Chinese water torture" is such a godawful lyric it hurts. There's nothing to "get", it's a bad attempt at seeming deep but comes off as very "My First Lyric Book".

StrawberryBlond 14,900 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just going for the big, known singles here, but how has nobody brought up these? Taylor Swift - Shake It Off "Hey, hey, hey, just think, when you've been getting down about the liars and dirty, dirty cheats in the world, you could've been getting down to this sick beat! My ex man bought his new girlfriend, she's like 'oh my God' but I'm just gonna shake and to the fella over there with the hella good hair won't you come on over baby, we can shake, shake, shake." Best songwriter of a generation, my ass. Nicki Minaj - Starships Jump in my hoopty-hoopty-hoop, I own that And I ain't paying my rent this month, I owe that But f**k who you want and f**k who you like Dance all night, there's no end in sight Twinkle, twinkle little star Now, everybody let me hear you say ray, ray, ray Now, spend all your money cause they pay, pay, pay And if you're a G, you're a G, G, G My name's Onika, you can call me Nicki Everyone's entitled to their opinion and all, but I struggle to understand why Iggy Azalea is apparently so much worse than...this. I actually liked this song at the time. Must have hit my head that day. Katy Perry - This Is How We Do "Now we're talking astrology, getting our nails did all Japanesey Day drinking at the Wild Cat, sucking really bad at Mariah Carey-oke." Who allowed her to say that racist Japanesy line? And when will she learn that when a lyric doesn't work, change it, don't shoe horn in a word that doesn't fit, especially if you have to force it to? Beyonce - Formation I like my baby hair with baby hair and afros I like my negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils Earned all this money but they never take the country out me I got hot sauce in my bag, swag I see it, I want it, I stunt, yellow bone it I dream it, I work hard, I grind it till I own it I twirl on them haters, albino alligators El Camino with the seat low, sipping Cuervo with no chaser Sometimes I go off, I go hard, take what's mine, I'm a star Cause I slay, hey, I slay, hey, I slay, hey, I slay, hey, I slay, hey, etc. How this didn't get laughed off the album, I have no idea. If this weren't Beyonce, it would have dragged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a racist stereotype that all Japanese people are good nail artists. Just like it's racist to assume all black people like watermelon, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JevyDuty 2,961 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Tell me what you really like Baby I can take my time We don't ever have to fight Just take it step-by-step I can see it in your eyes 'Cause they never tell me liesI can feel that body shake And the heat between your legs You've been scared of love and what it did to you You don't have to run, I know what you've been through Just a simple touch and it can set you free We don't have to rush when you're alone with me I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe ------------ And the fact that it was a radio hit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasi 10,935 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The "wasted zombie" lyrics from CTTR make me cringe every time. Also: "I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leaveWas it something I said or just my personality?" These are from Hedley's song "Perfect". That last line makes me cringe so hard. I really don't like their songwriting. Or their music for that matter. I don't understand pineapples, so I don't eat bananas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
