Maybe not an original idea, but listening to music over lunch I started thinking about lyrics that drive me nuts. So, as the thread title says, these are lyrics that cause you to sigh, roll your eyes, get angry, etc. Not misheard lyrics, and not necessarily a song that you dislike as a whole. Rants are encouraged. I will begin with the song that inspired the thread.
Song: Rocket Man
Lyric: “All the science, I don’t understand. It’s just my job, five days a week…”
Beef: The head of the Mechanical Engineering department at my alma mater was actually an alternate to one of the space shuttle missions. He was one of the smartest dudes I’ve ever met. They don’t put English majors on spacecraft (no offense to English majors, engineers would be similarly unqualified to write poetry about space). I suppose in defense of this lyric you could argue that no one is an expert on everything, and certainly the pilot of a spacecraft would have not have in-depth knowledge of every single aspect. To me though, this song makes it sound like Mr. Rocket Man is like “Hurr Durr… what’s air friction? What’s a COM port?” Drives me insane. Rocket Man’s a smart dude. He does science. GIVE ROCKET MAN SOME CREDIT!
