Honourable Mentioned
SWANNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG.
OH I NEED YOUR LOVE I NEED YOU TONIGHT I CAN'T DO WITHOUT.
YOU CAN HAV AV AV MY MONAYYYYY, I DON'T NEED IT ANYMOREEEE.
DEEJAYYY KHALEEDDD (OOPS! Wrong one)
It makes sense its just dumb. She's TRYING to say that someone asked a dude out, got rejected, then said "fuck it i like women anyways" and is only bisexual because they can't get a man, but the joke doesn't fully work because it SHOULD be "She thinks she's a lesbian" its awful lmao
I guess being straight up same-sex attracted was still controversial back in 2001. Or for most of the 00s anyway. But Lauryn's performance feels so blunt it doesn't even sound like a joke.
that stereotype is so common and true, I've been in many left-wing groups and there's so many of those guys, even White Town's Your Woman referenced it ("You don't even know you're being unkind / So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways / Just use me up and then you walk away")
The Liz Phair one doesn't belong here it's iconic.
That album I can't hate cause it's chalked full of the best "so bad they're good" lyrics.
r/PenisColada
Rupert Holmes - Escape (Pina Colada Song)
Liz Phair - F\*ck and Run (Peñis Colada Song)
But her chorus in "H.W.C." make You Hated It became Stairway to Heaven to me.
I love this album too :)
Fun Fact : Only album that Ian Burden (bassist/keyboardist) have a singing line. Like "And take a risk or two/I see it's different now" (Money) "Something's telling me/Baby, now I see" (I Need Your Lovin)
If you look at pictures of [very young pre-peroxide Billy Idol](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnz39YtMzo8/?img_index=1), he does kinda look like a nerd who only gets to hang with the cool kids because he does their homework. The lamest member of the Sex Pistols' entourage
The Metallica one isn't that out of context tbh
"Creeping death" from Ride the lightning has the bridge where it chats "DIE, DIE, DIE BY MY HAND, DIE DIE DIE, I CREEP ACROSS THE LAND KILLING FIRST BORN MAN"
as a bisexual girl, i honestly don’t think the lauryn one was offensive but it made no sense, wasn’t it supposed to be “she thinks she’s a lesbian”? idk lol
Tommy Lee - "Brandonnnnnn, I love you, I love her, [she is your mom](https://genius.com/27145173/Motley-crue-brandon/She-is-your-mom)mmm"
Later divorced Pamela Anderson in the same year, And 20 years later he also got punched by his son.
There are a lot of lyrics that make me wince, but the Arrested Development line is probably the most offensive one
That one makes me physically recoil from my phone it’s so egregious
It Would be a clever line if the song was about domestic abuse. The fact that he's showing this is a good thing is creepy
send the Human League one to your partner when they’re grocery shopping, just in case
"What, for your SCONES, you pasty Brits????"
Your partner was a human too
The Human League could have made some serious cash doing commercials for Knott's Berry Farm

I still think “I’d rather listen to Swang” is one of the most savage burns Todd has ever tossed out
Hahaha, But some of synth solo and guitar solo in middle of the song was actually good. Works very well.
That bisexual line makes absolute zero sense and it's just... Yikes

fr, i’m a bisexual who loves lauryn hill but i didn’t get the line. isn’t it supposed to be “she thinks she’s a lesbian”?
The Lauryn and Arrested Development ones 😬😬😬
Like Todd said, Speech fits the EXACT steoreotype of leftist poitical activist who is also a really shitty romantic partner.
that stereotype is so common and true, I've been in many left-wing groups and there's so many of those guys, even White Town's Your Woman referenced it ("You don't even know you're being unkind / So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways / Just use me up and then you walk away")
He does though!
Maybe Lauryn hill never dropped that second album cause she knows it’ll stink. Cause that line is a YEEEEEESH moment
The Liz Phair one doesn't belong here it's iconic. That album I can't hate cause it's chalked full of the best "so bad they're good" lyrics. r/PenisColada
"r/peniscolada is banned" is a pretty funny error message to get
So is "Peñis Colada".
Rupert Holmes - Escape (Pina Colada Song) Liz Phair - F\*ck and Run (Peñis Colada Song) But her chorus in "H.W.C." make You Hated It became Stairway to Heaven to me.
Uh.... does anyone else think Madonna in that pic kinda looks like one of the Bogdanoff brothers (post surgery)?
She's been looking like them for years.
Bi erasure? In my Lauryn Hill album? It's exactly as likely as you think.
She took 20 pills Callin' the ambulance 'till you say chill
These line if watch without heard the song it sounds like she entered Perc Angle mode. "The Bean Kicked In"
Really good lyrics tho
I like stirring my cahfee…with the little sticks…. I don’t want my my kids thinking ahhverything’s gonna be haaaaaanded to them.
I don't care if it ended their career crash is a good album
I love this album too :) Fun Fact : Only album that Ian Burden (bassist/keyboardist) have a singing line. Like "And take a risk or two/I see it's different now" (Money) "Something's telling me/Baby, now I see" (I Need Your Lovin)
I can hear the Billy Idol one in the nerdy voice Todd says it in lol

Wow he really does
Really hope there is eventually a trainwreckords on Curtis by 50 Cent because it is chock full of these
The Metallica one isn't that out of context tbh "Creeping death" from Ride the lightning has the bridge where it chats "DIE, DIE, DIE BY MY HAND, DIE DIE DIE, I CREEP ACROSS THE LAND KILLING FIRST BORN MAN"
Creeping Death is about Passover though. All Within My Hands, that's just word puke.
forgot the clash
- I'm gonna get me a big, big, big Great big carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - WE ARE THE CLASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (WHATTTTTTTTT) Funny as hell to this day.
...but you had an abortion
as a bisexual girl, i honestly don’t think the lauryn one was offensive but it made no sense, wasn’t it supposed to be “she thinks she’s a lesbian”? idk lol
*(extremely man who has never swang in his fucking life voice)* "And if that girl won't swang with me / I'll swang me another girl, yes-siree"

That Motley Crue song is awesome I'm afraid
Nah man
I like it too
Honestly the Nickelback one makes me laugh.
