Hello All, I'm from New Zealand. I like every type of song especially I like lyrics behind the song. I think every song should have meaning. Looking forward to this group.
Sue Wilkinson - You've Got To Be A Hustler If You Want To Get On
I remember Sally from number four
She always had boys queueing up at her door
She wasn't so good looking, but she seemed to have such fun
While I had none, I asked my Mum, "How come?" Mother said Sally was loose and cheap
And girls like that ended up on the street
Not like me, I was good, you see
Now I saw Sally in the deli today
She's a lady now in every way
So darn rich, people tell me she's a witch
With lovers by the score, do I have to tell you more
Oh, you've got to be a hustler if you want to get on
Principles can only hold you back
The only women makin' it are women who are shakin' it
They're faking all their morals on the mat
It's an act, it's a fact
You've got to be a hustler if you want to make a name
Bein' good can only get you hurt
Chastity and virtue never brought a woman fame
And men will always crave a cunning flirt
When you read the newspapers every day
There's always some hussy that's having her way
By dating someone famous, she makes herself a name
And no one blames her, I guess we'd all do the same
But then they get married and before you know
She wants divorce and half of his dough
Gets herself a lawyer who's a really shrewd guy
And get's the judge's sympathy by crying and crying
Yes, you've got to be a hustler if you want to get on
Principles can only hold you back
The only women makin' it are women who are shakin' it
They're faking all their morals on the mat
It's an act, it's a fact
You've got to be a hustler if you want to make a name
Bein' good can only get you hurt
Chastity and virtue never brought a woman fame
And men will always crave a cunning flirt
Well, the next time it happens as she starts to write
Of her schemes through the days and her men through the nights
And even though it's tasteless, the book sells coast to coast
On all the chat shows, you can see her boast
And now they're makin' a film of the book
And no one gives a damn that the girl was a "Huh"
They've got posters obscene, now she's mixin with the cream
No one even cares what she's done or where she's been
Ooh, you've got to be a hustler if you want to get on
Principles can only hold you back
The only women makin' it are women who are shakin' it
They're faking all their morals on the mat
It's an act, it's a fact
You've got to be a hustler if you want to make a name
Bein' good can only get you hurt
Chastity and virtue never brought a woman fame
And men will always crave a cunning flirt
Yes, you've got to be a hustler if you want to get on

In my head I like to imagine LastDreamer in the land of Lithuania right now with a suitcase of simcards, a box of chocolates and a wedding ring. It would be a great base for an epic Eurovision fan fiction.
The only thing I like about that song is its subconscious sense of irony

Imagine, the girls around town assemble
The traveler's son they come asking
Where he came from 'cause they've watched him
Washing his face near the pond
A curious boy and they wonder
Where he came from.
He says:
'I, I have seen the world's most beautiful places
Still I feel
As if I'm a walking machine
Watching it all through a screen
There ain't no thing in between
To me, this might as well not be real.'
Imagine, the girls take him up on a hill
It's an indigo night, there's a chill
The boy's confused but he's still
As they gather around him
So many of them they all sing
'Bout the pleasures of life.
And he cries:
'Why can't I sing along with some feeling
Or some meaning
It feels like I've always been blind
I don't know why you girls are so kind
For there are so many in line
Who's lives aren't as lost as mine.'
Now something happened there
The smell of the grass
Maybe the air
There was no more dispair
Just something about that night
Maybe the girls lit it some light
And did everything right
'Cause he's never been more alive.

What a beautiful and relieving message the song has - especially when you're experiencing a current down... It's the simplicity of life that manages to lift you up again .
There's plenty of bad lyrics in the world, but nothing comes close to the mess that is "Jojo Action" by Mr. President. Like... what the hell were they smoking? Painful, just painful.
His name is Jojo
He's s*** talking - hip hip hip
And Jojo go-go
He's funky walking - tip tip tip
He's sweet as honey can be
A coconut tree
I feel lazy crazy
When Jojo's acting
Selecting he says - you you you
He takes you dancing
Romancing makes you
Blue blue blue
He's like a bird on a tree
A sweet harmony
I feel lazy crazy
Jojo Action - satisfaction
Candy apple tree
Jojo Action - satisfaction
Jojo honey bee
Listen Jojo Action
Gimme satisfaction
Jojo c'est la vie
Listen Jojo Action
Gimme me satisfaction
Jojo come with me
When Jojo' s smoking
He's joking kind of - tip tip tip
Gives you illusion
Confusion very - hip hip hip
He makes you fire and ice
And Jojo's so nice
I feel lazy crazy
Hey Jojo, you are down at the disco
Turn up your collar
And you're ready to go-go
Hip hip hip, let's do it
Tip tip tip, come on
You're the man
The center of attraction
That's why they call you Jojo Action
Hip hip hip, everybody, tip tip tip
Come on!
Worst - mariah Carey bye bye, the whole song is so terrible and cliched but the start is lyrically the worst ever
This is for my people's who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put you hand way up high
We will never say bye
(No no no)
Momma's, daddy's, sister's, brother's
Friends, and cousins
This is for my people's who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head up to the sky
'Cause we will never say bye"

Truly dreadful lyrics.
The writers should be shot for ghetto betrayal

One for the money and the free rides
It's two for the lies that you denied
All rise
All rise (all rise)
Three for the calls you've been making
It's four for the times you've been faking
All rise (I'm gonna tell it to your face)
All rise (I rest my case)
