Do you ever find your self singing along with a song, only to realize you just sang something that made absolutely no sense whatsoever?

Do you stop and think; why on earth would someone write that as a lyric? Were they just really stuck on that one part and decide, "Ah fuck it, just put some random sentences in there"

And I ain't gonn' give it up, steady tryna pick it up like the car
I'ma hit it, I'ma hit it and flex and do it until tomorr' yeah.

Just Dance - Lady GaGa
I'm not sure if these are the correct lyrics, but they sound pretty close either way. I can just imagine in about 500 years some future philanthropist will discover quotes such as these and treat them as the prophecies of some ancient scholars. Perhaps he will be the next Nostradamus. Maybe in Shakespeare's time, the language of his plays were considered uncouth slang?

The author of the above quote appears to be self-conflicted.

In the first line, he claims he "ain't gonna give it up" and yet in the next line he alludes to what I assume to be a fairly lengthy sex session. I mean, who's going to bother saying until tomorrow if it's only 20 minutes until the next day? If he's not talking about giving up sex what the flying hell IS he talking about? Everyone knows, "give it up" is slang for accepting a booty call.

Steady trying to pick it up like a car?

Nope, it makes absolutely no more sense in bland english.

Steady trying to pick what up? He picks up cars? Is he fucking Superman? Why would you want to pick up a car in the first place? (Besides the obvious.)

Taken with the first half of that line, I think the lyric may make even less sense. It definitely makes me more confused about the second lyric though, which by the by, sounds more like a threat than a come on... At the very least it sounds painful...

    I hope that our few remaining friends
    Give up on trying to save us
    I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
    To off the dumb few that forgave us
    I hope the fences we mended
    Fall down beneath their own weight
    And I hope we hang on past the last exit
    I hope it’s already too late
    And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
    Someday burns down
    And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
    And I never come back to this town again in my life
    I hope I lie
    And tell everyone you were a good wife
    And I hope you die
    I hope we both die
    I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
    I hope it bleeds all day long
    Our friends say it’s darkest before the sun rises
    We’re pretty sure they’re all wrong
    I hope it stays dark forever
    I hope the worst isn’t over
    And I hope you blink before I do
    And I hope I never get sober
    And I hope when you think of me years down the line
    You can’t find one good thing to say
    And I’d hope that if I found the strength to walk out
    You’d stay the out of my way
    I am drowning
    There is no sign of land
    You are coming down with me
    Hand in unlovable hand
    And I hope you die
    I hope we both die




    I don't wish anyone here to die. I just love this song.

    'loser' by beck...need i say more?

    In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
    butane in my veins so i'm out to cut the junkie
    with the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
    dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
    kill the headlights and put it in neutral
    stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
    baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
    got a couple of couches sleep on the love seat
    someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain
    about a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
    don't believe everything that you breathe
    you get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
    so shave your face with some mace in the dark
    savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park
    i LOVE this song...but really...WTF???
