Lyrics:
You make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show, so I’m
Puttin’ my defences up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack (x3)

I think it’s insensitive to those who have lost a loved one to an MI.

Why is it okay to sing about having a heart attack?

This wouldn’t be acceptable

If I ever did that
I think I’d have a brain haemorrhage (x3)

Just think it’s very unpleasant subject matter for a “pop song.”

No, not really. Oversensitive people being oversensitive…

Anyway, lyrically it doesn’t have the genius of…

I’m as serious as cancer
When I say that rythym is a dancer

There’s an awful lot of pop songs about death and illness..

Seriously?

Is it just me? I think Demi Lovato’s current track is a bit sick…

The only two people who’s opinions I know about on this matter are mine and yours.

Its just you.

(I suspect if the group were larger, the result would be the same)

pop music is sinister.
always has been.

Every day’s a school day. I never new trolls had heart attacks.

pop music is sinister.
always has been.

Too true, Ben Stiller was brainwashed using the song “Relax” by Frankie goes to Hollywood into killing the Prime Minister of Euronasia. The whole tale unfolded in a documentary called “Zoolander” that I watched the other day.

teenage kicks right through the night

sick glorification of domestic violence in young adults?

pop music is a bit crap at times. See Fig 1 and Fig 1a.
always has been.

Fig 1.
If our love should crumble,
like a very old wall

Fig 1a.
Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak.

“A kiss with a fist is better than none”.

As a lover, not a fighter, I find that deeply offensive.

Teach me to harvest I want you to grow in my hand
Lets be optimistic, lets say that we won’t toil in vain
If we pull together we’ll never fall apart again

We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention
We all need a love resurrection
Just a little divine intervention

Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain

Sexual innuendo including male arousal and getting nailed by One Direction, as requested by Alison Moyet.

Eurgh – now that is sick…

Sexual innuendo including male arousal

which brings to mind…

I’m turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
I’m turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so

Suggestive lyrics aren’t anything new;

You can squeeze my lemon till
Juice run down my leg.
You can squeeze my lemon till
Juice run down my leg.
That’s what I’m talking about!

Robert Johnson 1937.

Near a tree by a river, there’s a hole in the ground.

I’m as serious as cancer
When I say that rhythm is a dancer

I use a similar tact when discussing strong matters with patients…

DrP

How about this evil cow?

I think it’s insensitive to those who have lost a loved one to an MI.

Doesn’t bother me in the least. (Supposing “MI”=what I would call a ‘heart attack’.) Why would it?

This wouldn’t be acceptable

If I ever did that
I think I’d have a brain haemorrhage (x3)

Yes it would.

Try again…

Snap were once “as serious as cancer” relating to rhythm being a dancer

Who’s Demi Tomato?

These guys clearly disappeared after this PR disaster

Reading the thread title I honestly thought you meant ‘sick’ as in ‘well good’.

Dat is a sick track man. Yeah, well peng.

my dad died of a heart attack when i was 11.

I’m currently in tears at my desk, I’m so upset.

Oh, hold on, no I’m not.

All pop music is subversive crap.

Listen to Slayer or Deicide to get the real truth.

‘hit me with your rhythm stick, hit me’

abhorrent

Looking forward to D_s’s Daily Mail column, he’ll fit right in… 🙄

I guess if you don’t like it then you can always change the station?
Oh, and don’t listen to “Heart shaped box” by Nirvana. I guess you wouldn’t like some of Cobain’s other songs too, “Rape me” for instance.

Jackie Wilson Said by Van Morrison:

You make my heart go
Boom-boom-boom

DISGUSTING!!

Blake Babies – Girl in a box

This is a bit wrong aswell… ;o)

As usual, all others fall by the wayside with the approach of the mighty Motorhead, offending everyone who has ever lost anyone due to anything. I give you:

Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak.
Somewhere in this town

On the face of it you would assume the breakout would be at the jail.
If you are in London you would have to figure out which prison it will be at. So not as easy to rumble as it first appears.

Madness

Never get there at this rate
Hes caught up in a jam.
There’s a meeting this morning
It’s just his luck oh damn!
His hand dives in his pocket
For his handkerchief.
Pearls of sweat on his collar
His pulse-beat seems so brief.
Eyes fall on his wristwatch
The seconds pass real slow
Gasping for the hot air
But the chest pain it wont go.
Tried to ask for help
But cant seem to speak a word,
Words are whispered frantically
But dont seem to be heard.
What about the wife and kids?
They all depend on me!

We’re so sorry
We told you not to hurry.
Now its just too late
You’ve got a certain date
We thought we made it clear
We all voiced our inner fears
We left it up to you
Theres nothing we can do.
Lyrics from eLyrics.net

35 secs in. One of my mum’s records this was. Her dad and 2nd husband died of heart attacks, but I bet she doesn’t hold it against Billy.

” It’s all over now, baby blue” Bob Dylan being insensitive as usual 🙄

Memphis Minnie sang
I ain’t no doctor, but I’m the doctor’s wife
You better come to me if you want to save your life
He’s a dirty mother fuyer, he don’t mean no good
He got drunk this morning, tore up the neighborhood

which I like as a descriptive innuendo in the early 1930’s

Its not as good as this Japanese pop gem

You were played by Kenneth Branagh in The Boat That Rocked.

And I claim my £5

zippy,

If you are in London you would have to figure out which prison it will be at. So not as easy to rumble as it first appears.

I’d say a “town” is unlikely to be big enough for two jails.

You’d be into cities and metropolitan areas for >1 jail. And rhyming/scancion problems.

Doesn’t ‘jail’ tend to imply a facility for those awaiting trial or convicted of minor offences, rather than a larger ‘prison’ for those convicted of serious crimes? So there could be more than one jail even in a relatively small town.

Laaandaan Taan innit.

And tunnels.

Perfectly reasonable to say a jailbreak is where they emerge, rather than the point at which the tunnel crosses the perimeter, especially if statements concern the whereabouts of the escapees, as appears to be the case here.

I’m going to let them have it.
