I have to admit that I never realized what those lyrics actually said in the Sade song.

Carol 16/07/08 - 10:28 pm

Yeah, there’s some real crap in there.

What I want to know is, if he’s out in the middle of the desert by himself, why doesn’t he just name the blasted horse?

Malcolm 16/07/08 - 10:49 pm

Although “Manic Monday” is catchy, it’s definitely not one of Prince’s stronger writing efforts. No wonder he gave it away.

I’ll have to check out Spinner to see if Paul McCartney made the list for one of the lines in “Live and Let Die”:

But in this ever changing world in which we live in.

Adelle Laudan 17/07/08 - 5:52 am

And the craziest part is, they are all making oodles of money. Shakes head. Happy T13!

Lisa,
I did recognize those lyrics on Sade’s song and always shook my head. On some of the others, I always thought I was just singing it wrong - guess not!!

Leslie 17/07/08 - 10:59 am

Adelle,
Really makes you wonder, doesn’t it? As an author, we write so many more words than a song and it’s so hard to get them published and we make way less money! Guess I should stop trying so hard! LOL!

Leslie 17/07/08 - 11:02 am

Carol,
I always wondered the same thing! Just name the damn horse already…what’s the hold-up? LOL!

Leslie 17/07/08 - 11:03 am

Malcolm,
That one DID make the list! And for that exact phrase: But in this ever changing world in which we live in.

Not very creative, is it?

Wani 17/07/08 - 11:17 am

I never noticed some of these. Wow… these are popular songs, too. How have they gotten away with these awful lyrics?!?
Come visit Wani’s World to check out my TT this week!

Denise Patrick 17/07/08 - 11:35 am

Awww, man. And I actually like some of those songs! Thanks for an interesting list.

Happy TT!

Isn’t Kohl’s using #8 in one of their TV ads? Happy TT.
