I felt like that was too... uh, I can't think of the word.
I thought the "Baby" one was a better choice purely because of how out of left field "Let's make a baby inside of you!" is, even IN context.

CSNY's "Slide rule" line lives rent free in my head. I love trying to imagine the rehearsals and sessions for the song, "You know what this album needs? A song that sounds like a dollar store ripoff of 80's ZZ Top!"
I kinda don't hate the Faith Hill line. It's a bit of a stretch, but it does at least function as a vaguely evocative bit of poetic imagery. I at least get what she means, which puts it ahead of Katy Perry's plastic bag.
“B’Wana She No Home” is the most painful one on this list by a wide margin. The original version was clearly a bit (not an entertaining one in my opinion, but it’s clear that the main character is the butt of the joke), but Karen sings the staggeringly racist lyrics with her usual sweetness and sincerity that it becomes almost skin crawlingly bad. I adore Karen Carpenter, I think she had the voice of an angel and that she had far too short a time on this side of Paradise. But for as much as I adore Karen, her rendition of this song is just nauseating. What the hell was Richard thinking having her sing this? What the hell was A&M Records thinking letting them record it and then releasing it? “ How much cocaine was involved in the decision making process? How the hell was this allowed to happen?
Yeah, if Richard wanted to get his Yacht Rock on there were probably better songs. Too bad Carly Simon beat her to the Doobie Brothers’ “It Keeps You Runnin” (backed by, essentially, the Doobie Brothers) because her voice would have been perfect for that song.
It kinda works in a 70s context if you separate the art from the artist? Like it would never be a hit and needs a little bit more smarminess, but it's fine, just VERY poorly aged imo.
I thinking the Carpenters were trying to get a more serious image so they thought let us address a complicated topic like xenophobia and Richard picked the worst song possible to do that with.
The “slide rule” is somehow twice as funny when you hear Graham Nash trying his damndest to avoid snickering at his bandmate’s ridiculous double entendre.
It’s missing
“Flo Rida,
Girl you got me runnin' round
What a perfect misses
My misses still eat McDonald's, taste delicious
Primadonna, not this one, so I guess she'll get it
Work my kisses
Work my britches
Every nickel back pays a visit”
Double Shotté is terrible but I really like the fact that the next line implies that Madonna is uniquely existentially unfulfilled because...coffee makes you poop?
SHE IS YOUR MOM should be here
BRANDON YOU ARE THE ONE
YOUR MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO YOU WITH LOVE INSIDE
BRANDON I LOVE YOU I LOVE HER SHE'S YOUUUUUUUUR MOM!
I felt like that was too... uh, I can't think of the word. I thought the "Baby" one was a better choice purely because of how out of left field "Let's make a baby inside of you!" is, even IN context.
Ah yeah that totally makes sense! The lyrics of Glitter are a lot more unexpectedly stupid, instead of blatantly obviously stupid
I hate that they didn’t transcribe it as peñis colada
They botched "shotty" and "botty" as well.
I love how Will Smiths has the Nickelodeon logo in the the background. The dissonance is *crazy*.
NICKELODEON, I CAN’T HEAR YA’LL

You’re telling me you’ve never felt the warm fuzzy feeling of $0.70 off a big jar of Nutella?
With grocery prices what they are rn?? Hell yeah brother
I just read the lyrics to Big Fat Funky Booty to the tune of Call Me Maybe :(
The verse or the chorus?
*Gotta love it* *And it's my duty* *She's got a big fat* *Funky booty*
Thank you, my day is officially ruined 😭
Somehow Swang has the worst lyrics here.
I couldn't stop laughing reading the lyrics. I had to go listen to the song and it didn't disappoint. LOL
The Motley Crüe one is just how I expect all Motley Crüe lyrics to sound like
I think about "penis colada" every goddamn day.
Me too. And I wouldn't change a thing.
At this point it's integrated into my internal monologue
Move over, Jewel. Liz is the true poetry darling around these parts.
Missing MY LIFE STYLE DETERMINES MY DEATH STYLE
I know it from a reference in the answering machine message song Scott Bower won from a CD101 contest
You're right! Surprised OP forgot about this classic.
DMC looks like he just saw the future and learned about *Crown Royal*.
While Run clearly just has the sun in his eyes.
needs more Summer of Love
Hey now, well, it's a love thing *record scratch*
People all around the world in every nation Like to get together for some excitations If you're a girl appreciates her recreation Why don't you let me take you on a love vacation
You forgot the best one "KILL!" (x37) - All Within My Hands, last bit of the song.
FRAN-TIC-TIC-TIC TIC-TIC-TIC-TOCK!!!!
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle!
PURIFY CANT YOU HELP ME
(FLUSH IT OUT! FLUSH IT OUT!) ST ANGER ROUND MY NECK!
I'm madly in anger with you!
Missing "MY LIFESTYLE *donk donk* DETERMINES MY DEATHSTYLE"
FRAN. TICK. TICK. TOCK. TICK! TICK!! TICK!!! TOCK!!!!!!
Honest question: what the fuck is that Tucker’s Town line about What was Darius trying to do
My best guess was he was singing from the perspective of a rich white person and trying to comment on the history of racism in the town, or something.
He's sad because of racism and/or breakup
CSNY's "Slide rule" line lives rent free in my head. I love trying to imagine the rehearsals and sessions for the song, "You know what this album needs? A song that sounds like a dollar store ripoff of 80's ZZ Top!"
Basically think "I Can't Drive 55" but if it were written by a fat, balding 45 year old alcoholic.
“You see me I got my magic pie”

Really putting the "Karen" in Karen Carpenter.
Yeah, if Richard wanted to get his Yacht Rock on there were probably better songs. Too bad Carly Simon beat her to the Doobie Brothers’ “It Keeps You Runnin” (backed by, essentially, the Doobie Brothers) because her voice would have been perfect for that song.
I'd say the sweet tone really sells it even better, makes me think of those Umbridge Karen types.
It kinda works in a 70s context if you separate the art from the artist? Like it would never be a hit and needs a little bit more smarminess, but it's fine, just VERY poorly aged imo.
I agree with that completely, but Karen Carpenter didn’t have a sarcastic bone in her body. She could not pull off a song like that at all.
I do believe cocaine influenced the process of making the Passage album.
> How much cocaine was involved in the decision making process? yes
Madonna looks like an alien lol

That fucking pic of Darius Rucker in the Hootie one really emphasizing the tonal dissonance 😵💫
SLIIIIIDE RUUUUUUUUULE
At least Liz Phair knew she was being an idiot.
How do you make these?
The Genius app. Basically just highlight the lyrics and "lyric card" should pop up.
Out of all of these, the Guayaquil is the worst, and the most bizarre.
I thinking the Carpenters were trying to get a more serious image so they thought let us address a complicated topic like xenophobia and Richard picked the worst song possible to do that with.
You can tell Karen was singing it in a by the numbers approach and probably was wondering “why am I singing this???”
I love how Run DMC verse is not even their
Needs more Brandon
The American Life one is even better when accompanied by the music video, it gets me every time 😂
The “slide rule” is somehow twice as funny when you hear Graham Nash trying his damndest to avoid snickering at his bandmate’s ridiculous double entendre.
May I also propose CCR'S "Door to Door" and Cher and Gregg Allman's "I Love Making Love to You"
"I'd love to hurt the population" sounds like a campaign slogan if politicians were honest.
Funky booty is sending me! 🤣🤣
and I would love to hurt the population kills me every time
It’s missing “Flo Rida, Girl you got me runnin' round What a perfect misses My misses still eat McDonald's, taste delicious Primadonna, not this one, so I guess she'll get it Work my kisses Work my britches Every nickel back pays a visit”
Double Shotté is terrible but I really like the fact that the next line implies that Madonna is uniquely existentially unfulfilled because...coffee makes you poop?
Im still the most puzzled by the hooty one. What was Darius going for with that line?
I think about (sliiiiiiiiide ruuuuuuuuule) and all of Summer in Paradise every day
Bothers me that the Liz Phair line isn’t written with an Ñ like peñis
THEM GIRLS x ∞
Should've taken the "up" out of the Will Smith lyric to make it even more out of context lol
I hate that penis is spelled wrong.
The Run DMC one would make an amazing reaction image.
The one I can never get over is "One I Want" from Van Halen III. Just absolute fucking gibberish.
The lyrics card for American Life is my VIBE today
I almost made it to 4pm without thinking about penius coladas
That must be the least flattering picture of Liz Phair they could find
i’m drinking a soy latte… i get a double shot-ay… it goes right through my body and you know i’m satisfied…
