Warrant of Simplicity

Let’s dissect some lyrics once more.

A personal favorite:

Cherry Pie – Warrant:

Swingin' on the front porch
Swingin' on the lawn
Swingin' where we want
'Cause there ain't nobody home
Swingin' to the left
And swingin' to the right
If I think about baseball
I'll swing all night yea
Swingin' in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't 'cause
They're too busy bitchin'
Swingin' in there 'cause
She wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
I scream you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try 'cause
You can't ignore her
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie oh yea
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie
Swingin' to the drums
Swingin' to guitar
Swingin' to the bass
In the back of my car
Ain't got money
Ain't got no gas
But we'll get where
We're goin' if we
Swing real fast
I scream you scream
We all scream for her
Don't even try 'cause
You can't ignore her
Swing it! All night long,
Swing it!
Swing in the bathroom
Swingin' on the floor
Swingin' so hard
We forgot to lock the door
In walks her daddy
Standin' six foot four
He said you ain't gonna swing
With my daughter no more
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie oh yea
She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie
Sweet cherry pie

Now that is what I call music. It gets right to the point, a great steady guitar riff that’s catchy and a sexy voice. I just adore the music video; especially the part when a perfect slice of cherry pie falls in the woman’s lap. Perfect.

Not so much of a favorite:

Love Game – Lady Gaga

Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

I wanna kiss you
But if i do then i might miss you, babe
It’s complicated and stupid
Got my xxx squeezed by sexy cupid
Guess he wants to play, wants to play
I love game, i love game

Hold me and love me
Just want touch you for a minute
Baby three seconds is in it for my heart to quit it

Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Don’t think too much, just bust that thick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game
Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game

I’m on a mission and it involves some heavy touching, yeah
You’ve indicated your interest, I’m educated in sex, yes
And now i want it bad, want it bad
I love game, i love game

Hold me and love me
Just want touch you for a minute
Baby three seconds is in it for my heart to quit it

Let’s have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Don’t think too much, just bust that thick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick

Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game
Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game

I can see you staring there from across the block
With a smile on your mouth and your hand on your c(huh!)
The story of us, it always starts the same
With a boy and a girl and a (huh!) and a game

Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game
Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game

Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game
Let’s play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love, or you want fame
Or you win the game
Through the love game

Stop the madness–please!

I don’t know what’s worse–the song or how people react to it.

Here is one of the comments:

‘lady gaga is sexy have a party too her songs! i think shes talkin to me when she says i wanna take a ride on your disco stick.
ha jk’

(Just ignore the poor grammar, they have too much on their mind)

…or is he?

Talk about keeping the hormones and sex drive camouflaged in with these awful metaphors.

If you want the real raunchy stuff, read the lyrics to Eminem’s song ‘Fack.’

Now that’s what I’m talking about.

  • Or you can forget all that altogether, and read the lyrics to “Me So Horny” by 2 Live Crew – they just come RIGHT OUT with it, even more than Eminem’s “Fack!”

    Cherry pie’s a great song… I just don’t think it’s incredible, the guitarists, and lyrics would set that for me. They’re just catchy, which is still great if the lyrics are good!

    I read Lady Gaga’s lyrics – gave up before the first verse was over. Like, what? Sexy cupid? What?

    I’m lost by the industry today. It’s STUPID.
    Good job at killing another fake person’s dignity.

    I love you, and that’s one of the reasons why!
