Okay, I have nothing against that song in particular, but that line irks me like no other line can.

My brother and I were debating about the importance of lyrics, and whether a really good beat or rythym can override terribly stupid lyrics. Personally, I can't stand songs with uber-dumb lyrics, no matter how catchy they are. There have been memorable exceptions (most embarrassingly, Fergie's songs), but as a general rule it's a big, big NO. Perfect example? "I'm in Luv With a Stripper" WTFOMG. I know people that love that song but hate the lyrics, but solely because of the lyrics, I can't stand it.

So, to you, can a catchy tune make you ignore lyrics? Can really good lyrics override a so-so song?

Yeah, there's lots of dumb lyrics.

I remember the first editted version of the "I'm in love with a stripper" song said "I'm in love with a tipper" on the radio laugh.gif

I hate it when people go out of there was to try to make words rhyme. Esspecially when it's a gross song and little kids are singing it like "she chewin' on that --- like a peice of bubble gum" No one wants to hear a kid singin' that...

Meh, like "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent...
I really dislike those songs that are just totally sexual innuendo and kids sing them while they're innocent enough to not know what the lyrics really mean.

Then there's also the fact that I just don't like 50 Cent, but I won't go into that. ermm.gif
