That song came on while I was flicking through the channels the other day. I realised I'd actually *never* sat through a busted song, always just slated them without even knowing what they sound like ;) I was pleasantly surprised.... :ghey: Still crap, but not half as crap as I was expecting :)

[mattygti-r]

Cypress Hill make me laugh :thumbs:

But seriously, you can't beat lyrics like this:


Check it out, I'm the C A S an the O V A
and the rest is F L Y


I said he's a fairy, I do suppoose
Flying through the air in pantyhose


He can't satisfy you with his little worm
But I can bust you out with my super sperm


I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
To the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
The rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

(Rapper's Delight (http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~syverson/worldsfair/exhibits/hall1/vaughn-sowa-iskander/bios/delightlyrics.html) , The Sugarhill Gang, 1979)

[Rude Dog]

The Bloodhound Gang - Nothing but mammals :thumbs:

Reproduced in all their glory for those not in the know :D

Haha
Well now we call this the act of mating but...
There are several other very important differences
Between human beings and anmials you should know about

I'd appreciate it in the butt

Sweat baby sweat baby
Sex is a Texas drop me
Can you do the kind of stuff that only friends would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I bet you'll feel nuts
Yes I'm Sisco, Yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two hand touch
You want it rough you're out of bounds
I want you smoothered want you covered
Like my waffle house hash browns
Come quick like fed ex
Irridgenate like fex
Just like cuticle cost stock
You are inclined to make me rise an hour early
Just like day light savings time

(Chorus)
Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the discovery channel
Getting horny now

Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
With the lost catagrins of Egypt
Only god knows where we stuck it
Heiroglphyics let me be specific
I wanna be down in your south seas
But I got this notation that the motation of your ocean
Meets small craft of that visery
So if I captsize
And devize high tide give me five
You sunk my battle ship
Please turn me on I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me your's I'll show you mine
Tool Time you'll love it just like la
And then we'll do it doggie-style
So we can watch x-files

Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the discovery channel
Getting horny now

The Chelsea choir in the north Stand Lower such classics as

"It's a long way to Fulham Broadway"

"You'll never make the station"

" Your going home in a Fcuking Ambulance"

And the all time Classic "10 men went to mow"

Now available on KTel records :wack:

[DeSaint]

that ain't the best Bloodhound gang track:

i hope you die.

I hope your cellmate thinks he's God
But C.N.N. refer to him as "Bowling Ball Bag Bob"
Serving time again for abuse of a corpse
Only this time the victim's a Clydesdale horse

I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson
And forces you to play a game called "Balls On Chin"
And whatever happens next is all a blur
But you remember "fist" can be a verb

but they have done so much for music :wack:

[Leon]

Tenacious D - F**K her gently! PMSL

Or anything by Pink Floyd


:D

Much as I love the Floyd, some of their earlier lyrics weren't the best...
I'm thinking of Effervessing (sp) Elephant and Bike in particular.
Although Julia Dream is very very good indeed.

[alexjj]

Best early floyd lyrics were:

"Several small species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave grooving together with a Pict" IIRC...

Apart from that, the lyrics from The Wall.

Or if you want a bit newer....

NWA... my personal favourite being "F*** tha Police" or 100 miles and running.. :eek: :nod:

[Lewis]

I've just been listening to Radio by Alkaline Trio while reading this. It's got to be a contender :

Taking your own life with boredom,
I'm taking my own life with wine -
it helps you to rule out the sorrow,
it helps me to empty my mind
Making the most of a bad time
I'm smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
This kettle is seeing red

I've got a big fat f**kin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you,
plugged in and ready to fall

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies,
I'm planning out my revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
I'm seeing red
You certainly get a good idea just how pissed he was at his ex-GF when he wrote it.

[Tenman]

Carter USM (For Re-Educating Rita or Sherrif Fatman)
Pulp (I defy you to listen to the words in Pink Glove and not crack up)
The Sundays (Can't be sure, Goodbye, I Feel loads of others)
Radiohead (I just laugh at Creep)

could think of a few more I would think

[manic_mechanic]

Anyone heard "The lap-dancing's always better when the stripper is crying" by the bloodhound gang? So funny but you feel unclean after listening! :)

[docwra]

I actually saw the Sugar Hill Gang live last year :notworthy

They were the knackers :thumbs:

Other than that, I like the idea behind 99 problems but a bitch aint one. Tupac and Eminem are modern day poets as well :thumbs:

[Rude Dog]

So its looking good for the bloodhound gang so far.

Would like to add Kevin Bloody Wilson has turned out some classics too :eek:

[Sideways Danny]

Would like to add Kevin Bloody Wilson has turned out some classics too :eek:

namely "i'm giving up ****ing", "First day at school", and "The festival of farts" :D :D :D :D



Radiohead have writen some brilliant lyrics, and I have to say I think Noel Gallagher and Gary Barlow are the greatest lyricists or the last 10 years

[GmasterT]

Noel Gallagher

Tut tut, trying to bate me...

Best lyrics ever are obviously Vanilla Ice, Kris Kross & MC Hammer.

Shire Horses :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

[Leon]

Theres plenty around worse than the Busted boys :nod:

you're so right.
esp that Matt :nod:

[Leon]

Apart from that, the lyrics from The Wall.


the wall is immense :nod:

a lot of the early stuff doesn't make any sense at all tho... I'll try to dig some up tomorrow to prove a point...

SSSoSFAGTIACGTWAP was just grunts and drums, wasn't it? I don't remember any lyrics as such...

[Aitch]

you're so right.
esp that Matt :nod:
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


Right at the moment I think Supertramp write the most appropriate lyrics - I've just been listening to It's Raining Again (don't ask why :wack: ) and it's just started pissing it down. How did they know that was going to happen? :confused:

[Leon]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Eminem is clever, Katsh out of the Liks is sweet

[Aitch]

Otis Lee Crenshaw - "Women love flowers and hedges and trees, unless you're hiding behind one then they call the police. When I tell her I love her there'll be tears down my face - it might be love or it might be mace. Women call it stalking - it's just selective walking..." :D

[jimmyc]

Artic monkeys , havnt stopped listening to em all week and last week too
