		<description>i don't think he means women, there--i think he actually means that the little things about a person are stupid but fun.

i wound up putting it on the tape--go figure.</description>

		<description>http://www.songlyrics.com/song-lyrics/Brad_Paisley/Miscellaneous/Ticks/256863.html

everytime you take a sip
in this smoky atmosphere
you press that bottle to your lips
and i wish i was your beer
and in the small there of your back
your jeans are playing peek a boo
id like to see the other half
of your butterfly tattoo

hey that gives me an idea
lets get out of this bar
and drive out into the country
 
cause id like to see you out in the moonlight
id like to kiss you way back in the sticks
id like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
and id like to check you for ticks</description>

		<description>Obviously country was excluded entirely, or the entire list would have been country songs. Some of these lyrics aren't that bad if you ask me. U2 and Oasis especially, but I agree with Duran Duran as well. There are far worse lyrics out there than these.</description>

		<description>Poop on them for pooping on Duran Duran.  I always thought "Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war" was funny and kinda clever.  Pfft.</description>

		<description>Cher had a song that went something like, "There's one thing there's not enough of, and that is love and understanding.".  One thing?  Two?  Or are they the same thing???

From &lt;a href="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/arvindn/misc/knuth_song_complexity.pdf" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Complexity of Songs&lt;/a&gt; (reformatted for text-only):

S(0) = e (nothing), S(k) = V S(k-1) for k &gt;= 1,
V = 'That's the way,' U 'I like it,' U
U = 'uh huh, uh huh'</description>

		<description>Todd Rundgren - We gotta get you a woman

Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
They may be stupid but they sure are fun
I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we
Got to get together with a woman who has been around,
One who knows better than to let you down,
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town,
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together.

"They may be stupid but they sure are fun," how nice.</description>

		<description>OK, how the heck did I miss that? A post from you about lyrics?! I can't believe it slipped past me. The Nena example &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; hilarious, it's true. But those Partridge family lyrics very nearly made my eyeballs bleed. Yowch.</description>

		<description>I was shocked that the Oasis song selected wasn't "Wonderwall."  What the hell is a wonderwall?  That has ALWAYS bothered me.</description>
