    Here's something from stalkery Sting:

    Every breath you take
    Every move you make
    Every bond you break
    Every step you take
    I'll be watching you

    Every single day
    Every word you say
    Every game you play
    Every night you stay
    I'll be watching you

    O can't you see
    You belong to me
    How my poor heart aches with every step you take

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you

    Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
    I dream at night I can only see your face
    I look around but it's you I can't replace
    I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
    I keep crying baby, baby please

    Every move you make
    Every vow you break
    Every smile you fake
    Every claim you stake
    I'll be watching you

    The same could be said for Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
    He sees you when you're sleeping
    He knows when you're awake

    Spice Girls "Two become One"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M9cSez-mY4

    Back when this was released, I was a teenager, and most of the girl/boy band songs seemed pretty innocuous. In fact, I do think some of the SpiceGirl songs are pretty childish, but not the words of this one!


    Candlelight and soul forever
    Dream of you and me together
    Say you believe it say you believe it
    Free your mind of doubt and danger
    be for real don't be a stranger
    We can achieve it we can achieve it
    Come a little bit closer baby
    Get it on get it on
    'cause tonight is the night
    When 2 become 1

    I need some love like I've never needed love before
    Wanna make love to ya baby
    I had a little love now I'm back for more
    Wanna make love to ya baby

    Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

    Silly games that you were playing
    Empty words we both were saying
    Let's work it out boy, let's work it out boy
    Once again if we endevour
    Love would bring us back together
    Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
    Are you as good as I remember baby?
    Get it on, Get it on
    'cause tonight, is the night,
    When 2 become 1

    I need some love like I've never needed love before
    Wanna make love to ya baby
    I had a little love, now I'm back for more
    Wanna make love to ya baby
    Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

    Be a little bit wiser baby,
    Put it on, put it on
    'cause tonight is the night
    When 2 become 1....

    Enrique Iglesias: "You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love."

    Not only stalkery, but rapey too.


    Have you ever heard the Spanish version of that song? Doesn't mention "love" at all...

    "Si decides dejarme
    No te voy a suplicar
    Allá tú sí mas tarde
    Aunque corras te escondas
    No puedes escapar"

    Which translates roughly to:
    "If you decide to leave me,
    I'm not going to beg you
    Off you go, but later
    even if you run and hide
    You can't escape" :eek:

    The Vapors - Turning Japanese.

    I've got your picture of me and you
    You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
    I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
    Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
    Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
    I often kiss you when there's no one else around

    I've got your picture, I've got your picture
    I'd like a million of you all round my cell
    I want a doctor to take your picture
    So I can look at you from inside as well
    You've got me turning up and turning down
    And turning in and turning 'round

    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so

    I've got your picture, I've got your picture
    I'd like a million of them all round my cell
    I want the doctor to take a picture
    So I can look at you from inside as well
    You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning 'round

    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so

    No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
    No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
    Everyone around me is a total stranger
    Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
    That's why I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so

    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    (think so think so think so)
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so

    Its about ****.

    Afternoon Delight

    Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
    Gonna grab some Afternoon Delight
    My motto's always been "When it's right, it's right."
    Why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night?

    When everything's a little clearer in the light of day?
    And we know the night is always gonna be here anyway?

    Thinkin of you's working up my appetite
    Lookin' forward to a little Afternoon Delight
    Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite
    And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting

    Skyrockets in flight!
    Afternoon Delight!
    Afternoon Delight!
    Afternoon Delight!

    Started out this morning feeling so polite,
    I always thought a fish could not be caught that didn't bite.
    But you got some bait a-waiting and I think I might
    Like nibblin' a little Afternoon Delight

    Skyrockets in flight!
    Afternoon Delight!
    Afternoon Delight!
    Afternoon Delight!

    Be waiting for me, baby, when I come around.
    We can make a lot of lovin' 'fore the sun goes down

    Thinkin' of you's workin' up a' appetite
    Lookin' forward to a little afternoon delight
    Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite
    And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting

    Skyrockets in flight!
    Afternoon Delight!
    Afternoon Delight!
    Afternoon Delight!

    Afternoon Delight!

    (A madrigal fugue)

    Afternoon Delight!

    Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard


    Step inside, walk this way
    You and me babe, Hey, hey!

    Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
    Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
    Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
    Demolition woman, can I be your man?

    Television lover, baby, go all night
    Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
    Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah

    Hey!
    C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
    Break the bubble, break it up

    Pour some sugar on me
    Ooh, in the name of love
    Pour some sugar on me
    C'mon, fire me up
    Pour your sugar on me
    Oh, I can't get enough

    I'm hot, sticky sweet
    From my head to my feet, yeah

    Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
    Crazy little woman in a one man show
    Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
    Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up

    You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
    Tease a little more
    Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
    Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
    Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah
    Give a little more

    Take a bottle, shake it up
    Break the bubble, break it up

    Pour some sugar on me

    Pour some sugar on me
    C'mon fire me up
    Pour your sugar on me
    Oh, I can't get enough
    Pour some sugar on me
    Oh, in the name of love
    Pour some sugar on me
    Get it, come get it

    beetlebum by blur. their best song imo and has lines like -

    'she turns me on'

    'she'll suck your thumb......she'll make you cum'




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    He's not even trying to pretend it's about love in that version! :eek:

    I know! First time I heard it was when a teacher brought us a few of his Spanish ones to translate in Transition Year (those were the days :P) and we were all SURE we'd mistranslated...

    And yet all the Spaniards happily sing along to it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,915 ✭✭✭StupidLikeAFox


    How has this not been mentioned? The chorus sings over and over "E's are good, E's are good/ These effin E's are good" and the rest of the lyrics are a thinly veiled description of ecstacy



    There's a guy in the place
    He's got a bittersweet face
    And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode
    His friends call him Eezer and he is the main geezer
    And he'll vibe about the place
    Like no other man could
    He's refined, sublime, he makes you feel fine
    Though very much maligned and misunderstood
    But if you know Eezer he's a real crowd pleaser
    He's ever so good, he's Ebeneezer Goode
    You can see that he's mysterious,
    Mischievious and devious
    As he circulates amongst the people in the place
    But once you know he's fun
    And something of a genius
    He gives a grin that grows around
    From face to face to face
    Backwards and then forwards,
    Forwards and then backwards
    Eezer is the geezer who loves to muscle in
    That's about the time the crowd
    All shout the name of Eezer
    As he's kotcheled in the corner,
    Laughing by the bass bin

    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode

    Has anybody got any veras?
    Lovely
    Ya ha ha ha ha ha
    Ya ha ha ha ha ha
    A great philosopher once wrote
    "Naughty naughty very naughty"
    Ha ha ha ha ha
    Ebeneezer Goode, leading light of the scene
    Know what I mean - see
    He created the vibe,
    He takes you for a ride and as if by design
    The party ignites like he's comin alive
    He takes you to the top, shakes you all around
    Then back down, you know as he gets mellow
    Then as smooth as the groove
    That is making you move
    He glides into your mind with a sunny "Hello!"
    A gentleman of leisure,
    He's there for your pleasure
    But go easy on old Eezer
    He's the love you could lose
    Extraordinary fellow, like Mr. Punchinello
    He's the kind of geezer who must never be abused
    When you're in town and Ebeneezer is around
    You can sense a presence
    In the sound of the crowd
    He gets them all at it, the party starts rocking
    The people get excited it's time to shout loud

    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode

    Ya ha ha ha
    Ya ha ha ha
    Ha ha ha ha

    Ha ha ha ha
    Wicked

    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode

    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode
    He's Ebeneezer Goode

    Pictures of Lily by The Who
    fap,fap,fap.



    I used to wake up in the morning
    I used to feel so bad
    I got so sick of having sleepless nights
    I went and told my dad

    He said, 'Son now here's some little something'
    And stuck them on my wall
    And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
    In fact I, I don't feel bad at all

    Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
    Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
    Pitcures of Lily solved my childhood problems
    Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright

    Pictures of Lily
    Lily, oh Lily
    Lily, oh Lily
    Pictures of Lily

    And then one day things weren't quite so fine
    I fell in love with Lily
    I asked my dad where Lily I could find
    He said, 'Son, now don't be silly'

    'She's been dead since 1929'
    Oh, how I cried that night
    If only I'd been born in Lily's time
    It would have been alright

    Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
    Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night

    For me and Lily are together in my dreams
    And I ask you, 'Hey mister, have you ever seen'
    'Pictures of Lily?'

    Tool have a few classics, stinkfist as the title suggests is about fisting.

    Stinkfist

    Something has to change.
    Un-deniable dilemma.
    Boredom's not a burden
    Anyone should bear.

    Constant over stimu-lation numbs me
    but I would not want you
    Any other way.

    It's not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I don't want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

    Finger deep within the borderline.
    Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
    Relax, turn around and take my hand.

    I can help you change
    Tired moments into pleasure.
    Say the word and we'll be
    Well upon our way.

    Blend and balance
    Pain and comfort
    Deep within you
    Till you will not want me any other way.

    It's not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I don't want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

    Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
    This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to.
    Relax. Slip away.

    Something kinda sad about
    the way that things have come to be.
    Desensitized to everything.
    What became of subtlety?

    How can it mean anything to me
    If I really don't feel anything at all?

    I'll keep digging till
    I feel something.

    Elbow deep inside the borderline.
    Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
    Shoulder deep within the borderline.
    Relax. Turn around and take my hand.



    And their song "die eier von Satan" (in German) sounds like a nazi war rally, but is in fact a recipe for hash cookies.

    In eine Schussel geben
    Butter einruhren
    Gemahlene Nusse zugeben und
    Den Teig verkneten

    Augenballgro?e Stucke vom Teig formen
    Im Staubzucker walzen und
    Sagt die Zauberworter
    Simsalbimbamba Saladu Saladim

    Auf ein gefettetes Backblech legen und
    Bei zweihundert Grad fur funfzehn Minuten backen und
    KEINE EIER
