Lyrics

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....

Band: Laughing Colors

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:

> Lyrics seem far less important today

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.
