Ok, I'm not a poetic genius myself - in fact my lyrics are terrible - but I'm forced to listen to a pop radio station 8 hours a day at work, and I've recently noticed that the thing that really gets on my nerves with MTV pop is the lyrics. Here's my TOP-3 of current radio hit phrases that make me want to murder someone:
1. Akon - Right now
Wish we never broke up right na na na
I can't even put my amusement to words with this one. In addition to being one of the most irritating auto-tune choruses ever, the lyrics imply that you can use "na na na" in place of any single word if you run out of ideas with... well... any human language.
2. John Legend - Green light
Admit it! You did it! Let's hop a cab, and split it! I'm kiddin'! We both goin' to where you livin'! Ha! I got you gigglin' like a piglet! Oh, that's the ticket!
Wait, WHAT? Oh dear fucking God, if you feel the urge to make music, then could you please write something else than random, funny sounding words that pop into your mind? I really wish there would have been someone to punch this person in the groin when he first thought to himself that "IMA GONNA MAKE SUM LURICS DAT CANT BE HARD CANS IT?!"
3. Britney Spears - Womanizer
Womanizer, woman-womanizer / You're a womanizer / Oh, womanizer / Oh you're a womanizer, baby
God damn it, woman, too much crack, not enough thinking. I mean, sure, I'd still nail Britney if I ever got the chance, but if this is all she's got to say, I would probably strangle myself with my bare hands if I had to stay for the after-sex smalltalk.
Phew. I feel a lot better now.
