Irreverant song words

    Seems to me that many songs attract an irreverant set of lyrics. The one I remember is the Socialist "Red Flag" that used to be sung at union meetings in the days when I moved to Glasgow to serve an engineering apprenticeship in the shipyards. The words we were supposed to sing were "Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer, We'll keep the red flag flying here."

    We apprentices used to sing (softly) " The working class can kiss my ar*se, I've got the chargehand's job at last."

    Anyone out there got some?

    'Where's my snare?.....I have no snare in my headphones'

    "Who let the dogs out" - very offensive to dogs.

    Remember that song 'If you like Pina Colada'?

    When that was released my dad went into a record shop and asked you man did they have that song 'Beans and Tomatoes'?, your man working there was like, eh, no mate never heard of it, sing it....

    So my Dad sings it (quite loudly apparently) 'If you like beans and tomatoes' and getting caught in the rain...

    Everyone in the shop cracked up laughing :pac:

    The start of Eminem 'Cleaning Out My Closet'. After it, many rappers started mumbling nonsense at the start of their tracks. Dave Chappelle had a good sketch on it but sadly I can't find it on Youtube.

    Full cast of a school production of These Golden Years blasting out:

    "Oh, hadn't we the gaiety with Phil the Fluter's balls!"

    ... every night

    ... despite being requested, threatened, and even begged by the director

    :D

    Had my first real sex dream (played it 'till my fingers bled...)

    Rudolf the red-nosed wino... had a very shiny nose...
    And if you stood beside him.... he would take off all his clothes...
    Then one frosty Christmas Eve,
    Rudolf froze to death in a laneway behind a nightclub, end of song.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Another variation was:

    I'm outta work and on the dole,

    You can stick yer red flag up yer hole

    Did youse by any chance succumb to the temptation to add "UGLY BITCH!" to the end of every line ending in "I can't say the same for Jane"?

    In the Gaeltacht the song 'Níl Sé Ina Lá' always got sung as 'Tíocfaidh ar lá'.

    Anyone can be a saint
    Well anyone can be a saint
    Well you just forget that you ain't
    Well we can go and be a saint

    Anyone can be a star
    Well anyone can be a star
    We'll just get in your car
    And we can go and be a star


    I'd expect a 5yo to write a better song than that.

    Moose T (can't believe I remember their name :p)
    I'm cormie! cormie cormie cormie, soo cormie! cormie cormie cormie.

    Nearly as bad as the original!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    How could anyone forget "Boom, boom, boom, ah let me hear you say Jayo....JAYO!"? Sooooo 1995!

    I also used to the think that the start of 'No Matter What' by Boyzone was a little bit racist with its "Chinky chink ha ha" opening.

    "I can see clearly now the rain is gone,I can see all the Eskimos in my way" - Actually thought these were the right lyrics for years!:rolleyes:

    Speaking of Eskimos, my friend used to think Paul Brady sang:

    "I'm from Alaska, the answer is nobody knows!"

    Instead of "no use in asking, the answer is nobody knows" :p

    Anyone remember the song that was regularly misinterpreted as:
    "My love has got no money, he's got his trampoline"?
