Bad Song Friday

From Debbie:

In honor of the 4 day weekend, this is a special Thanksgiving Eve edition of BSF. Last week I picked a song that Pash liked, causing him much dismay. This week I've chosen a song I actually like but acknowledge is bad. If you don't know it, go ahead and watch the video at MTV.com. I guarantee you'll be singing the chorus all weekend.

Good choice, honey. I would've picked this earlier but I figured it was too new to really count. It's bad, though, so it definitely fits. Any song that includes "I'ma" in the lyrics is automatically a bad song.

Also, Rihanna == hot.

Here's your crappy video and some lyrics:

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to me
It's raining
Oh baby it's raining

From Debbie:

This is a special early edition of bad song Friday. The occasion you ask? Two of our regular BSF participants, Jeff and Heather, are going in tomorrow to give birth (well Heather's doing that part) to their new baby daughter. They won't share her name with us, so Sierra has dubbed her Kandi Cane.

Kandi Cane, this one's for you. I can't wait to meet you tomorrow.

Amen. Except I think it's spelled "Kandi Kayne". That definitely looks better to me.

I don't agree on the song choice. Sure, it's stick-in-your-head repetitive, and fits the mold for other BSF choices, but I always liked this one. Plus, Amy Grant = Hot.


Baby, baby
I'm taken with the notion
To love you with the sweetest of devotion.

Baby, baby
My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean.

Stop for a minute
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine, yeah
You're mine.

Baby, baby
The stars are shining for you
And just like me I'm sure that they adore you.

Baby, baby
Go walking through the forest
The birds above a' singing you a chorus.

Stop for a minute
Baby, they're so glad you're mine, oh yeah
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there's just no getting over you.

Baby, baby
In any kind of weather
I'm here for you always and forever.

Baby, baby
No muscle man could sever
My love for you is true and it will never

Stop for a minute
Baby, they're so glad you're mine
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there's just no getting over you.

And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there's just no getting over you.
Over you.

Baby, baby
Always and forever
Baby I'm so glad that
Here for you baby
So glad you're mine
Baby I'm so glad that
When I think about you it makes me smile
Baby, baby be mine
Baby I'm so glad that
Don't stop giving love
Don't stop, no
Baby I'm so glad that you're mine
Baby I'm so glad
Baby I'm so glad that
When I think about you it makes me smile.

From Debbie: I'll be dancing to this ditty all weekend. Too bad Pash and Jeff can't play it on Guitar Hero.

Oh my gawd, how awful. It's already stuck in my head, and all I read was the name of the song. Why couldn't Whitney have gotten strung out on crack before she released this one? The lyrics read like something a lovesick 12-year-old might have written.

Here's your craptastic video (some kinda weird anime thing) and lyrics.


There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, cant seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

Chorus:
How will I know (dont trust your feelings)
How will I know
How will I know (love can be deceiving)
How will I know
How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is all bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love

Chorus

If he loves me, if he loves me not (x3)

Chorus

Debbie picked this weeks entry, the first in nearly a month. We're lazy, what can I say?

Ahhhh, Tawny, Tawny, Tawny. You were so young and tender and desirable. What happened to you? Life weighed down on you, and the years stacked up, and tempered your beauty with cares and botox. Alas! Fear not, my flexible friend, we will always have the hood of that Jaguar.

Is it just me, or was David Coverdale already impossibly ancient when this song came out? He looked like he could be 70 years old.

Debbie: It's a beautiful image. A girl dancing around on a car totally in lust with a 70 year old who uses the band name "White Snake". There's nothing like 70 yr. old white snake... I think that's what ultimately did her in.

Wait. Was White Snake a euphemism for something else? I don't get it. I mean, a 70 year old white snake would be pretty amazing, I think, something for the zoo and the Guinness book, but I don't know why one would do her in, unless it was poisonous. Unless you're saying David Coverdale... Oh, I get it. He was poisonous for her. Wow, we come up with some deeeeeeeep stuff around here, don't we?

Debbie: I don't think a 70 yr. old white snake could go very deep.

Wait a minute. You're talking about sex, aren't you? Oh. My. God. That is so depraved. And here I thought we were having a theoretical discussion about how old rock stars are dangerous to hot flexible hood dancers. Disgusting, you people.

Anyway. Here's a vid and some lyrics. Awful stuff, I've been humming it all day.


I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where Ive been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
cos' I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
cos' I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

An I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time

And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
cos' I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...
