Didn't they know this song was about a peeping tom??! You are forced to listen to the lyrics watching the couple dance. It got more and more uncomfortable as the realization started to hit a few people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803862 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:10:13 +0000 wonderstruck 1803862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I was going to say Pumped Up Kicks too! Although I try to ignore it, since like @.twist.: said, it's just so damn catchy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803855 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:04:39 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1803855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aimed: I worked at a wedding place in college, and it was ridic how many people wanted I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston played. Peeps, it's a break up song! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803280 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 11:54:56 +0000 fussygal 1803280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically any Katy Perry song. I'll admit her songs are pretty catchy but the lyrics to the Extraterrestrial song bother me, particularly the Kanye parts. Also, the Birthday Party song which has a ton of sexual innuendos and in the video she's at a little girl's birthday party - wtf? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803183 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 11:22:50 +0000 Dandelion 1803183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That happened to me with Uncle Kracker's Follow Me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803156 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 11:17:43 +0000 swurlygurl 1803156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Yes, that one was bad too! Why are we glorifying these issues through catchy songs?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803141 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 11:11:35 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1803141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is an old one, but Money for Nothing by Dire Straits. It definitely has the F word (bad name for a gay man) in it! DH and I were shocked while listening to it in the car one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803023 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:27:48 +0000 BlueWolverine 1803023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Me too! And when it came out, I had a bunch of people telling me that I was being "too sensitive." </p> <p>But then Weird Al saved me. You can listen to Word Crimes, get the fun beat and make fun of people who mangle grammar instead of promote rape culture.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803013 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:23:47 +0000 Katrocap 1803013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I didn't know they sang together on another song; I'll have to check it out - especially now that you've ruined it for me :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1803000 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:20:28 +0000 septca 1803000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: I was thinking of "Love the Way You Lie," but I think "Monster" deals with a lot of tough issues as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802989 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:17:15 +0000 Katrocap 1802989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.someone: I love "Blurred Lines", too. The lyrics and that video are so so wrong.</p> <p>@septca: I love "Monster" but never associated it with domestic violence. I have a history of depression and anxiety and think of "I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed" as referring to accepting mental illness and not denying/ignoring it. Funny how even when people know the lyrics they can interpret them differently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802985 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:15:53 +0000 HLK208 1802985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: same!

I dunno.</p> <p>I really liked the song Pumped Up Kicks until I realized it was about a kid who was getting ready to go shoot up a school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802938 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 10:01:22 +0000 Adira 1802938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ruined this same song for a bunch of my friends. I was like "WHY do you like it??? He hit his girlfriend!!!" and they were like "Wait, what??" and now they can't listen to either. Ooops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802922 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:57:54 +0000 septca 1802922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: You inspired me! Turns out "Love the Way You Lie" is also *not* about a relationship, but about how f'ed the music industry can be... Now I feel much better about it. :grin: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_the_Way_You_Lie" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_the_Way_You_Lie</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802916 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:55:53 +0000 rachiecakes 1802916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: I love that song because of what inspired it!<br /> But I also had a recording contract at 18 with similar challenges :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802915 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:54:40 +0000 .twist. 1802915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: love ittttt. and I am NOT a rihanna fan (or Eminem for that matter, but I give him props for talent). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802911 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:54:08 +0000 Mae 1802911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: well sounds like it is sorta ruined for you! I'm not saying I'll never listen to We Are Young again.. I'm just saying I'm annoyed that the lyrics suck when the tune is so damn good. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802905 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:52:50 +0000 septca 1802905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the opposite problem... I know I should be disgusted and run away from the Eminem-Rihanna song about domestic violence, but it's a *really* good song. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802903 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:52:16 +0000 LBee 1802903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't ruined for me personally, but I have a lot of friends who loved Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" and would use it as their anthem during break-ups. It has a lot of break-up empowering lines such as sentiments like "they all say things you want to hear." One friend was DEVASTATED when she found out that that she wrote it about her producer / record company (they were demanding a love song), not about a guy. Looking at the lyrics right now, they could definitely go both ways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802900 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:50:57 +0000 swurlygurl 1802900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!! DH ruined this song for me, and now I can't even listen to it :(</p> <p>I try REALLY hard to not actually understand lyrics, because then I'm always disappointed - I just want a fun song! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-hate-when-i-think-about-things#post-1802888 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 09:45:43 +0000 Mae 1802888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I've loved the song We Are Young by Fun. since I heard it. Totally sing-along-able. Until yesterday I was singing along and actually paid attention to the lyrics for the first time. And I'm pretty sure that it's about a guy who beat up his girlfriend. And not only that-- he won't even call her his girlfriend. He calls her his lover-- which is a term I hate because it reduces a woman to one aspect of their relationship, as though the sex is all he's there for. </p> <p>Ruined. </p> <p>Sort of like when I found out Sweet Caroline was written about Caroline Kennedy as a child. Which is super pervy. </p> <p>Ruined. </p> <p>Good songs ruined by thinking and now I can't enjoy them anymore! lol. What songs have been ruined for you by listening to the lyrics or finding out what they're about? </p>
