    Anything by Sabaton. The whole cheesy war porn narrative in just about any of their songs is cringe inducing

    Can I take your order please?

    Let's eat to the beat

    [Chorus]
    A pizza hut a pizza hut
    Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut
    A pizza hut a pizza hut
    Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut
    McDonalds McDonalds
    Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut
    McDonalds McDonalds
    Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut

    You like it you love it
    You know you really want it
    The voices I hear
    Whenever you're around

    I want it I need it
    Nothing else can beat it
    Hot and spicy
    Whenever I'm in town (mmm mmm)

    Enticing exciting
    Aroma so inviting
    And when it hits
    Me, I wanna take you home

    Trust me you must see
    Just what you're doing to me
    Driving me crazy
    Hungry to the bone (bone)

    I think of you and lick my lips
    You've got the taste I can't resist
    Can't resist can't resist can't resist
    Let's eat to the beat

    [Chorus x2]

    Would you like that to go?

    Any sauces?

    You're so sweet and you're neat
    You knock me off my feet
    You're chunky and hunky
    I'm coming back for more (Hot Dog and burger)

    Your taste all embraces
    I gotta sing your praises
    Just savor the flavors
    Waiting at your door

    I think of you and lick my lips
    You've got the taste I can't resist
    Can't resist can't resist
    Let's eat to the beat

    [Chorus x2]

    Does anyone fancy a shake?
    Shake
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Shake it to the left shake it to the right let's shake
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

    I think of you and lick my lips
    You've got the taste I can't resist
    Can't resist can't resist
    Let's eat to the beat

    [Chorus]

    I like TRex but Marc Bolan should be a contender,
    'I drive a Rolls Royce because its good for my voice.' :):D

    You know that was meant as a dig, right?

    "Hail a gypsy cab takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge...
    Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge." Alicia Keys singing bollix


    "Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger FOR more than an empty fridge"

    Which seems perfectly reasonable to me.

    Should mention that for a long time I thought she wanted to see her name in MONKEYS down on Broadway (which I figured had to break some sort of animal cruelty laws).

    A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
    A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

    A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

    In the jungle, the mighty jungle
    The lion sleeps tonight
    In the jungle the quiet jungle
    The lion sleeps tonight


    Lions hunt at night not because their eyesight is better under low light conditions than that of their prey, but because with stealth they can probably approach their prey closer at night than during the day.

    They also live on plains not in the jungle.

    EDIT: oops somebody already said it.

    I'm the trouble starter, *unkin' instigator
    I'm the fear addicted, a danger illustrated
    I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
    You're a firestarter, twisted firestarter
    I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
    I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated, yeah
    I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated
    I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
    You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter
    I'm the self inflicted, mind detonator, yeah
    I'm the one infected, twisted animator

    Love the beat but 8 songwriting credits is taking the piss (includes Trevor Horn, Paul Morley and Anne Dudley)

    Has ABC been mentioned?

    That was then, this is now - lyric

    "Can't complain, musn't grumble
    Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭HonalD


    Clever or worst lyrics, you decide:

    “The wild dogs cry out in the night
    as they grow restless longing for some solitary company.

    I know that I must do what’s right
    Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.”

    Toto - Africa (I want some of what they were smoking writing that!)

    Listen, we all know it's just filler until it gets to the epic chorus.

    I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted. Cr-cr-cry but I like to party. T-t-touch but I got nobody. Here on my own



    Tiesto and Postmalone?

    She say she's too young, don't want no man. So she gon' call her friends, now that's a plan. I just ordered sushi from Japan. Now your bitch wanna kick it, Jackie Chan



    I hear those on the radio and start to fret about our future.

    "How do we cram as many Africa references into this song as possible?"

    Oh and Kilimanjaro is hundreds of miles from the Serengeti, not visible, never mind towering.

    Oh and Kilimanjaro is twice the height of Mount Olympus, poor analogy. Unless they meant Olympus Mons on Mars, which I doubt.

    Still a class song :cool:

    Olympus mons would be an even worse analogy. Its slope is barely discernible from it's base because it is so wide.

    Love the beat but 8 songwriting credits is taking the piss (includes Trevor Horn, Paul Morley and Anne Dudley)

    Keith Flint wrote the lyrics. All other songwriting credits are there due to Liam Howlett sampling bits from other songs like "Close to the Edit" by Art of Noise, "S.O.S" by The Breeders and "Devotion" by Ten City. I can guarantee you that all other credits are to people connected to these other groups.

    Kim deal is credited because of the sample from The Breeders. All the others apart from Flint and Howlett are credited because of the Art of Noise sample.

    Firestarter is hardly a 'song' now is it? It's a pop punk electro lightweight version of the likes of this, another tube of $hitpaste

    "If I was a sculptor
    But then again, no"

    You didn't have to commit to the lyric Reg, you could have replaced it, no need to correct mid song.

    Did J-LO just admit to having rock on her.
