Lyrics seem far less important today than they used to be, but after 10 beers on return to college night I heard this song live and just fucking cracked up. Let's share some of the lyrics we love with each other: I went to the store to buy some shells, My gun went off and blew the owner to hell, Now, I'm sitting here in jail, singing this song, Now one guy wants to cut me with a knife, Another guy wants me to be his wife, Hey, I wish they'd hang me before something really goes wrong, People say that life is good, give thanks for what you have, When all you have is nothing, nothing makes you glad, People say that life is fun, but I don't know why, As far as I can tell, life sucks and then you die....

1st Verse: It was long ago Seems like a dream The day I sucked the air From a bottle of whipped cream And I got real high And things got real slow And "I started talking like this" What's goin' on, I don't know And then I sold my car For a Grateful Dead ticket My dad yelled at me He grounded me And he said I was a dick It was the worst day of my life
Chorus: Man, don't tell me about love and peace When one of the Jones' has a handgun pointed at me Don't tell me to "Just say no" I'm an addict, I say no to lettin' it go What ever happened to sex, drugs, and rock and roll? Now we just have AIDS, crack and techno

Skifredo talks about 10 beers…pshaw. This rick focuses on Jack. And then he listens to the most brilliant lyrics ever:
Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away In the jungle, the mighty jungle The lion sleeps tonight In the jungle the quiet jungle The lion sleeps tonight Wee heeheehee weeoh aweem away Wee heeheehee weeoh aweem away Near the village, the peaceful village The lion sleeps tonight Near the village, the quiet village The lion sleeps tonight Wee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away Rrr, la la la weeoh aweem away Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling, The lion sleeps tonight Hush, my darling, don't fear, my darling, The lion sleeps tonight Wah oh oh, wah oh oh, wah oh wimoweh Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

In a pinch this rick is okay with They Might be Giants:
Hey, Who's that playing? Hey, The guitar? Is it Jim? I don't know Is it Jim? I don't know In the spaceship, the silver spaceship, the lion takes control, In the spaceship, the silver spaceship, the lion takes control, Hey, Who's that playing? Hey, The guitar? Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion's on the phone, Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion's on the phone, Hush my darling, be still my darling, Hey, Hush my darling, be still my darling Hey Turn it up The guitar I can't hear, the guitar In the spaceship, the silver spaceship, the lion waves goodbye In the spaceship, the silver spaceship, the lion waves goodbye Hey, Who's that playing? Hey, The guitar? Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey…ROAR!!!

Undone - Robert Earl Kean:
Dead end jobs, payment plans Broke down trucks, welfare checks Child support and back-seat sex You'd kill yourself but you hocked your gun You built a noose but it come undone

Tokischa - Delincuente
Muérdeme, jálame, chúpame, estréllame Súbeme la nota singándome arrebátame
Tengo un delincuente en mi habitación A vece' me lo mete al pelo y a vece' con condón Tengo un delincuente en mi habitación Me lo mete en la cocina y a vece' hasta en el balcón
Bite me, pull me, suck me, smash me Raise my grade, fuck me, snatch me away
I have a criminal in my bedroom Sometimes he puts it in me bareback and sometimes with a condom I have a criminal in my bedroom He puts it in me in the kitchen and sometimes even on the balcony
@Skibum, re:
Man, I just couldn't disagree more. Trap music is what's trendy these days, not just LatAm artists like the above but artists like Drake, Travis Scott and others are dominating the charts, and that's what kids are listening too. And trap music is ALL ABOUT the lyrics. Very light on instrumentation.

If you think lyrics don't matter you clearly never listen to hip hop.
