Subject: not impressed...

Written By: DK on 07/12/02 at 06:30 a.m.

ok i dont know if this is the message board for amiright.com about contradictory lyrics and the like but this is the link that was there so... OK to the point. I look at amiright.com and find my self laughing at these people...there inability to understand what the singer is saying, much less to understand it. Here are a couple post I found funny in the Nonsensical section...

Nirvana's, "Come As You Are"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Take your time, Hurry up,
the choice is yours, don't be late

Why They're Nonsensical:
1. Yes, Kurt, we understand you......you contradictory nob. We'll just say Courtney had input on this bit of an otherwise great song. 2. Blink 182 ripped this bit off, displaying their genius and ability to take lyrics that don't even make sense. tools.
Submitted by: ZosoBaggins

Yes, it is a great song like zosobaggins said. but what does he mean by contradictory nob? Kurt was a genious at the least :D K, here's another example...

Nelly's, "E.I."
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I know That I love it when you make your knees touch your elbows
And break it down low to the flow, there you go
Now throw it on me slow
Ungele ungele moma E.I. E.I.,
uh ohhhhhhhh wuts happenin now
Ungele ungele moma E.I. E.I.,
uh ohhhhhhhh If they head right nelly there all night
Why They're Nonsensical:
ha! Do i really need to give an explanation? What kind of sick person is turned on by somebody else touching their elbows with their knees? That's a pretty sick fetish. You can try and figure the chorus out for yourselves, because I'm not even going to touch that one!
Submitted by: Barry

I just laugh every time I read this. this person obviously thinks nelly was talkin about some girls elbows on his knees meanin... but the lyric is, "I love it when ya make your knees touch ya elbows." not the other way around. "barry" obviously doesnt understand that nelly is talkin about a dance. in the dance...u guessed it.. the person - mainly girls - bends their arms pointing their elbows down goes from side to side lifting their knees up...oh well barry...
another u ask...

N'sync's, "Celebrity"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
If I didn't have cheese like every day,
Would you still want to be with me?
Why They're Nonsensical:
This song is dumb enough already without these lyrics being in it. I think it's very sad when a relationship depends on the amount of cheese somebody has.
Submitted by: Star

yes this song is dumb enough already...but i've never seen nsync be this perverted. i didnt think they could do it. what i mean is the usage of the word cheese in this song doesnt mean cottage,swiss,american,cheddar. not that kind of cheese. it's a newer form of the word and not all people will understand what i mean...but ohwell.

and here are several post with the same mistake...

Gorillaz's, "Clint Eastwood"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I ain't happy
I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on
Why They're Nonsensical:
Well, obviously you can't keep sunshine in a bag ... but is it just me, or does it seem like he's singing about drugs or something ie: he has a bag full of drugs which will make him happy ? Or even that he has a gun ie: 'I'm useless , but not for long,' - he's gonna kill himself or someone ? Or maybe I'm just getting too deep.....

Gorillaz's, "Clint Eastwood"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
Why They're Nonsensical:
How can you be glad but not happy?
Submitted by: Junior

Gorillaz's, "Clint Eastwood"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I ain't happy, fellin glad
I've got sunshine in a bag
Why They're Nonsensical:
If you ain't happy, how can you feel glad? Is this song about sarcasm or something?
Submitted by: Gthemouse

FOR GOD'S SAKE PEOPLE THE LINE IS, "I'm happy." I'm - the contraction for I am - makes a lot more sense than "I ain't happy." goodness... :-X >:( :-/

Doesn't this reek of a poseur demanding attention for the small mistakes in detail (okay, granted, I have been one in the past, probably, and I hold my hand up to that) that he/she manages to spot? Geez, lighten up folks, this is a website, it's not like a website could hurt you...

Okay guys *KICK*
you've *PUNCH*

Now you don't want me to show you the bruises, do you? As I thought.

Oh, and one final flourish...

http://www.songmeanings.net/showsong.php?id=7975

states that at least the final chorus reads as follows.

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future

I wish people would see what Chuck said earlier.. if you're going to point out a mistake on the site, point out something that actually IS a mistake!

Okay, I guess I should have done my posts in the opposite order, because I messed up my point in my second, but still... I see what you're saying, lebiew. It's the same with what is said about lyrics, at least either search first or make sure that the lyrics you want are the right ones. Nothing is more annoying than getting guests who either never come back, or only acknowledge in a short email the fact that they've received the right lyrics... or whatever.
