riddle350 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 So I thought it would funny if we all posted the lyrics to a song that we think is absolutely horrible. My pick is for LL Cool J's "I Need Love". I laugh so hard everytime I hear this song. Hands down the worst lyrics ever. "I Need Love" When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove for the first time in my life, I see I need love There I was giggling about the games that I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names Then the thought occured, tear drops made my eyes burn as I said to myself look what you've done to her I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels all I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal Playing make believe pretending that I'm true holding in my laugh as I say that I love you Saying amor kissing you on the ear whispering I love you and I'll always be here Although I often reminsce I can't believe that I found a desire for true love floating around Inside my soul because my soul is cold one half of me deserves to be this way till I'm old But the other half needs affection and joy and the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy I need love I need love Romance sheer delight how sweet I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and huddle I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat kiss you on the cheek and say ooh girl you're so sweet It's deja vu whenever I'm with you I could go on forever telling you what I do But where you at you're neither here or there I swear I can't find you anywhere Damn sure you ain't in my closet, or under my rug this love search is really making me bug And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean Fantasy's can run but they can't hide and when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside I need love I need love I wanna kiss you hold you never scold you just love you suck on you neck, caress you and rub you Grind moan and never be alone if you're not standing next to me you're on the phone Can't you hear it in my voice, I need love bad I've got money but love's something I've never had I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all I love you more than a man who's 10 feet tall I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes we're so in love when we hug we become paralyzed Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal you're as soft as a pillow and I'm as hard as steel It's like a dream land, I can't lie I never been there maybe this is an experience that me and you can share Clean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wet I swear to you this is something that I'll never forget I need love I need love See what I mean I've changed I'm no longer a play boy on the run I need something that's stronger Friendship, trust honor respect admiration this whole experience has been such a revelation It's taught me love and how to be a real man to always be considerate and do all I can Protect you you're my lady and you mean so much my body tingles all over from the slightest touch Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine If I find you girl I swear I'll be a good man I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive I'll search the whole world for that special girl when I finally find you watch our love unfurl I need love I need love Girl, listen to me When I be sittin in my room all alone, staring at the wall fantasies, they go through my mind And I've come to realize that I need true love and if you wanna give it to me girl make yourself seen I'll be waiting I love you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Did you ever hear Necro's version of this -- "I Need Drugs"? If not, I advise you download it ASAP. It'll give you a whole new respect for the song. Here are the lyrics (to the tune of "I Need Love" When I come home from work I'm fiendin' for an eight-ball I got crack on my mind I'm hearing cocaine call Telling me to beep the dealer to deliver me stuff Keep it a secret from my wife, cuz she thinks I don't use drugs There I was, bleeding from my nose and damn I couldn't breathe, but I'm still thinking about the next gram It's Friday night and I'm not trying to leave my crib doped I'll kill myself while the dealer's eating Japanese food I ain't got no pride, While buying the shit I'm lying to myself telling the runner I'm trying to quit It's all make believe, I pretend that I'm true When you give me credit, I'll dodge you every chance that I get to Even if its good, I'll sniff it up in a minute Beep you back and complain that you put too much cut in it If you fall for that and bring me a new sack I'll be making more crazy faces than a JIM CAREY on crack Cuz yo I'm ripped, I owe you loot Plus I annoy you I deserve to be murdered, but the coke is doing it for you I got nerve, can you put them pills on my bill Yo I tell you we're friends and yo we don't even chill I need drugs I need drugs Baking soda, cocaine, how sweet I need to find me a crack pipe and I'm complete I got these crack dealers chasing me through the cement jungle Cuz they gave me shit to sell and yo I smoked the whole bundle Yo I can't front - I got dope in my spleen And I'm telling everyone at this N.A. meeting I'm thirty days clean I won't die even with tuberculosis I could go on forever mixing dope with my methadone dosage You could find me at Brighton Beach or Coney Island Or Rikers Island My crack pipe's my violin I play along to the police siren My eyes squint looking for crack on the floor picking up breadcrumbs and lint I don't know who I am, ask me I couldn't say I took a chance and tried to get clean and it lasted one day Tried to go to rehab too but couldn't get admitted And if money's missing from your pocketbook you know who did it I need drugs I need drugs As a young teen I started with marijuana Then graduated to coke cuz I needed something stronger Mescaline, dust, downers, injections sensation I love to experience a patient's medication I smoked the drugs off the back of my hands All I need is a hit of it and I'll create a new dance Protect yourself, baby cover yourself up My body swings all over once my seizure erupts Into a frenzy, on the phone I got thirty sack But when we meet face-to-face, I got ten dollars less Made up my mind, I'm quittin' I'm swearing in tears I'm not gonna get high, I'll only drink beers Can't sit and wait for my dealer to come provide it Gotta party to go to and I'm the only one invited I'll search the whole house for the damn white mouse And when I finally find it, I'll sniff the whole ounce I need drugs I need drugs (Spoken) Dealer, listen to me When I come home from work Fiendin' for an eight-ball Nose candy on my mind I've come to realize, you need me And if you want me to keep coppin' Give me a free piece It's my birthday Yesterday Anyway I'm gonna go sniff this I'll beep you in an hour I hate you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicyclepirate Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I love these lyrics, this is Rush-the Trees off their Hemispheres album There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream 'Oppression!' And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights 'The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light' Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe and saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

destroyingthescene Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 At least you don't live in the hometown of Nickleback. Fuck, it blows my mind that people actually listen to them on their own time. I mean I get why they're on the radio with their Hell's Angels connections and all, but seriously, is there nothing better out there? Oh yes there is: Hinder.

skumbucket Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 you americans have no idea how bad it is for us. by law, 35% of all music played on canadian radio has to be canadian artists. or fill two of the four following criteria: artist is canadian, canadians wrote the lyrics, the music was written by canadians, or it was produced by canadians. but commercial radio doesn't want to take chances on new artists, so they just play the same bad canadian music over and over and over again. the company i work for has three stations in my city, all housed out of the same building. they usually put the music stations on over the building PA and when it's on our rock station i usually hear nickleback literally ten times a day during the course of an eight hour shift. and that's just when i'm walking the hallways; we don't hear it from the newsroom. every time i heard that rockstar song i really want to punch or general manager, music directors, and dj's in the face.

If it weren't for that law, you probably wouldn't see bands like Billy Talent or Alexisonfire achieve the success they have in Canada (which in turn lets them garner more respect in other countries), and you DEFINITELY wouldn't have seen Fucked Up playing live on MTV.

skumbucket Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 now don't get me wrong folks -- the canadian content regulations are absolutely necessary and allow for a lot of great things to happen. but the fact of the matter is that for every alexisonfire that gets some success, there are thousands upon thousands of spins on commercial radio/muchmusic of the same old canadian artists like our lady peace, default, nickleback, tragically hip, etc. it's supposed to promote variety and canadian culture but in the majority of the country (montreal, vancouver aside) it really creats a sameness on radio. that's why our campus and community radio stations are so vital, because people (like myself) play canadian music that goes beyond the same old retread artists.

I can see what you're saying but I also think that it's a bit excessive to form a law around it. - Jeff It would be if it was a level playing field, but movies/music/pop culture from the US is so dominant in many parts of the world, that without some sort of legal protection or government promotion of art within the national territory, Canadian artists might never have the chance to break out of a very small scene, since most people wouldn't even be aware of local "art." I obviously don't know the specifics of the Canadian situation, in the abstract, it seems worthwhile to me. Venezuela passed a law similar to this in the last couple years because (from what I heard from Venezuelans) the radio was totally dominated by foreign music. Now, the government is promoting previously marginalized Venezuelan artists to fill the mandatory quotas on the radio, and other mediums.

skumbucket Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 i read a great article in a free monthly music publication here in canada that profiled a least a dozen indie bands/artists that couldn't get the time of day from canadian labels and music fans...but signed contracts with the bigger indies in the UK and have burgeoning careers over there. and that's happening despite the canadian content laws because music directors don't use that guideline as encouragement to seek new product outside of a very limited scope of the mainstream.
