The song that makes me want to hurl
I am a huge music fan. I love a great (and even bad) pop tune. I like almost any music genre but there are some that I will not listen to. I'd list them off but this post is about a pop song. Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song", aka TLS.I am a Bruno fan. I own "Doo-Wops and Hooligans" and love mostly every song on that album. With the exception of one: TLS. It's not the beat that gets me down. I love the island feel of the track. It's the lyrics. Now some pop artist I have a hard time decifering or making out what they are saying until the millionth time I've listened to the track but Bruno is pretty clear.
Here's the line that sends me into full gag mode: "Find a nice girl, have some really nice sex and she's gonna scream out: this is great." Just typing that made me feel ill. Now I have no problem with people singing about sex (as long as it's not too graphic) but the visual I get is this: he's really greasy and smelly because he's been in bed all day, plus he just did P90X right before calling this girl. I'm not a germ-a-phobe and without giving out TMI, I've had sex in the morning, unshowered but for wahtever reason Bruno's line makes me ill.
Anyway. Blog break over. I'm sure my weird dislike of this song has not properly translated to blogger language but I had to get it out there. If there is anyone ever looking to torture me, use this song. I guarantee it will get the results you desire or the knowledge you seek from me.

Oh my gosh, this cracks me up because for me, too, that is his only song so far that I HATE!! The beat is catchy but I hate the words, and especially the line about sex - stupid, and yes, he sounds like a greasy, lazy loser in this song. Talk about a dud.
