![]() ![]() Isam B manages to make the song even more absurd with his sugary, heartfelt delivery. If the adolescent high-octane synth-pop of Dúné gets on your nerves, we won’t blame you. Well, forget about him, ‘cause we’ve got a jaywalker over here, but then when she - whoever she is - comes home, this nondescript thing will catch her ear… And the singer’s bloodlines are acting strange.? And they’re spoken for? At this point, the only thing we can do is give up: we really don’t know what’s going on and feel like there’s probably no point in trying to understand any further. Apparently we’re dealing with a friend of the singer’s who is messed up for some reason, yet still going strong. Kudos for making “more” rhyme with “strong”, but this text doesn’t make any sense. ![]() They are spoken for, but not out of range" Your fiddling will be spoiled in a future near ![]() When she comes back home it will catch her ear Oh, and by the way, René Dif: We googled “Bountyland” and it isn’t even a real place! Unless of course you’re referring to a fictional country made up entirely of coconut flavoured chocolate bars with the texture of freshly shredded wood chips. WE GET IT! Lollipops, sugar, dolls and toys: you wanna get laid. 14 million of our fellow world citizens didn’t see it as an insult, however, and gladly bought their album Aquarium in 1997.Īqua and other Danish eurodance bands were especially good at sexual innuendos-a form of humour just as cheap and tedious as puns and knock-knock jokes. However, “I wish you were my lollipop” is so silly of a sexual innuendo, it’s almost an insult to anybody with even the most basic understanding of human sexuality. Aqua encompasses all of those things, so it’s not like anyone ever expected Aqua to write insightful or profound lyrics. David Bowie and Lou Reed have approved, which are two of the best endorsements available in music, but “Ruby Over Diamonds” could’ve benefitted from being proof-read by a native speaker. To be fair, Kashmir’s lyrics aren’t usually this bad. He somehow manages to make the act of creating new life sound like something you do with the same straightforwardness you’d apply to baking cupcakes, making balloon animals or playing Sims 4. It gets even worse: later, Kashmir’s lead singer and main songwriter, Kasper Eistrup, tries to get away with singing “now I want to make love to you”-aka the most prudish, middle-class euphemism for “fucking” we’ve been busy cringing at many, many times before. Granted, “impregnate” is never gonna work in any rock lyrics-but surely there must be a more elegant way of expressing a desire to procreate than “now I want to make children”, which sounds a bit like a robot trying to masquerade as a human. ![]()
