Alanis M's Ironic.

Unless she's trying to be ironic because none of the things she mentions in the song are ironic whilst being a song called Ironic, it's just stupid.

As Ed Byrne said, it should have been called ''Unfortunate''.

Pretty much the thing you called stupid. I think it's quite funny, personally. Also a choon.

Firework.

Spoiler
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/k/katy-p...rk-lyrics.html ]
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon


Oh Katy.

Oops! I know what it is, but I thought you were trying to say it was a metaphor, because in Ed Byrne's routine, he poked fun at a heckler who called it a metaphor, and he responded that they were similés, not metaphors.

Sorry!

It's okay!!! If I'd made that kind of mistake, I would welcome a rude correction.

I have to disagree with you for "glad You came" , whilst its not the deepest most meaningful song its done quite smartly, during one of the verses, the word ending on one line, starts the following line! e.g "Turn the lights out now, now ill take you by the hand, Hand you another drink...."

Was just about to mention this

"I'm afraid of the dark, specially when I'm in a park"

"I don't wanna see a ghost,
that's a sight that I fear most,
rather have a piece of toast,
watch the evening news!"

Oh dear Lord!!! Don't think I've ever heard so much nonsense!

Snap! Rhythm Is A Dancer and I quote "I'm as serious as cancer, when I say Rhythm Is A Dancer."

Also 'Too Close' by Blue/Next is pretty bad lyrically...

Spoiler
I wonder if she could tell I'm hard right now, hmmm
Yeah, come on, dance for me baby, ha ha, yeah
Ut oh, you feel that? Alright
Come on, don't stop now
You done did it, come on, uh, yeah, alright, hold on

[1] - Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancing real close
Cuz it's real, real slow
(You know what you're doing, don't you)
You're making it hard for me

All the songs on you requested
You're dancing like you're naked
Oh, it's almost like we're sexing (oh yeah)
Yeah boo, I like it
No, I can't deny it
But I know you can tell
I'm excited, oh girl

[2] - Step back you're dancing kinda close
I feel a little poke coming through
On you

Now girl I know you felt it
But boo, you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do

[Repeat 1]

Baby us dancing so close
Ain't a good idea
Cuz I'mma want you now and here
The way that you shake it on me
Makes me want you so bad sexually
Oh girl

[Repeat 2]

Now girl I know you felt it
But boo, you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 1]

I love when you shake it like that, ah, ah, ah
I see that you like it like that, oh, oh, oh
I love when you shake it like that, ah, ah, ah
I see that you like it like that, oh, oh, oh

[Repeat 1 while:]

I like the way you move
You're making me want you
Oh the way you move
I like those things you do
But you're a little too close

[Repeat 1 until fade]


I mean.... singing about rubbing up against a woman and getting 'aroused' LOL .

Any soppy boyband type love song.

The majority of songs about being in a club and ''getting on the floor.''

Any song bragging about material wealth.

Any song which uses the word hater or haters.

^^ I'd agree with both of these quotes.

Until I read the last sentence I thought you'd made these up to prove your point. The fact that they are genuine lyrics is astounding.

Oh dear.

1 Direction - What Makes You Beautiful

a clear rip off of Just The Way You Are, but I guess they can come up with crap and get it sold
