Lyrics you hate

Glad someone else feels like that about Always On My Mind! Always liked Where do you go to my lovely but will listen with a new ear now!

'Young Girl' by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Listening to it now - it's practically perverted. "Young girl get out of my mind. My love for you is way out of line. Better run girl, you're much too young girl."

The lyrics of Always on my Mind make me swear and want to punch the singer on the nose. Illogical I know but true.
Grammatical errors annoy me as well.
The mournful lyrics of Yesterday have me reaching for the off switch.

Please release me let me go, cos I don't love you any more -so release me MY DARLING(!!!!) let me go. What? Are you tied up or something!

Oh yes - My baby takes the morning train. Who on earth wrote that and WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Not like the other 9 to 5 song by Dolly Parton. That rocks!

>>They just use your mind and they never give you credit
>>It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
>>Nine to five, for service and devotion
>>You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion
>>Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
>>I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!

Go Dolly!

I've been to Paradise but I've never been to me' - wasn't that Debbie Boone?
'Honey I miss you and I'm being good' - that's the sort of song that was around at the time when every song just got into your brain and you can still remember all the words to this day. (And you wish you could forget)

There are people that agree with you:

The one that I have to turn off because it's so disgusting, is the one that goes on about "girl, I'm gonna make you sweat". [shudder]

And the sentiments in Bryan Adams' "To love a woman" just make me seethe. And in three-four time, too.

One I have a love-hate relationship with is Peter Sarstedt's 'Where do you go to my lovely', again from the 'sixties. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JOi1q5ugs

It was one that I could almost manage on my guitar and the tune is quiet sweet; but the words betray a deep sense of bitterness.

A bit like Stand by your Man - My Baby Takes the Morning Train, or 9 to 5. There was a good skit on it by Pamela Stephenson and Rowan Atkinson.

The song which endlessly repeats "up all night to get lucky" so boring. Also the Happy Song but only because on a flight back from Tenerife the man in the seat behind me insisted on playing it continuously until about 2 hours in the battery thankfully died on his phone!

I don't know what it's called or who sings it but that one, something like 'I've been to Paradise but I've never been to me' Yuk and also 'and Honey I miss you and I'm being good' Yuk again.

Oh yes Henetha I had forgotten that one, what a stinker it was.
Have just remembered one that I hated , can't remember the title but somebody will, it went 'hey little girl, fix your hair and your make up, he will soon be home' was it Wives and Lovers? it further went on ' day after day, there are girls at the office, and men will always be men' I know the song was of it's time, but I think that things were changing even then, and was seen by girls as very old fashioned.Grrrrrrr.t

The words of "Stand By Your Man" by (I think) Tammy Wynette used to annoy the hell out of me.
I did stand by him, for years, but the trouble was he
kept falling down because he was always drunk!
What are we, doormats? I hate that song.

I like the Pet Shop Boys version of You were always on my mind.
Cunco yes, I find the dreamily airy fairy San Fransisco a bit annoying as well ( and did at the time) some of us have to work you know, I felt like saying to the song.
Can't think of any other lyrics that annoy offhand, will have a think.

The grammar pedant in me sees the red mist when listening to Live and Let Die - "...but if this ever changing world in which we live in ..." - sloppy work, Sir Paul!

'Are you going to San Francisco'? by Scott McKenzie has always been a pet hate of mine. I am not sure why but the 'flower power' thing obviously passed me by.

Otherwise, I can cope with most but, back in the 'sixties, I preferred Tamla Motown and 'The Animals'.
