Favorite song lyrics of the summer

I love pop music. I accept it for what it is, fun and catchy. Because pop music artists have to crank out hit after hit in order to stay relevant, they don't seem to always pay attention to what they're writing. Their haste leads to some pretty silly words playing over the airwaves. And of course, summer is the prime time for pop music. So, since summer is winding down, here is a list of my favorite ridiculous lyrics from the summer:

  1. "You're naked now!" -LMFAO, Party Rock Anthem
    I don't know if it's the shock of feeling like you're suddenly naked at the biggest dance party of the summer or the sheer joy with which he exclaims this lyric, but "You're naked now!" is number one on my list of favorite pop song lyrics this summer.

  2. "Where my bottles? Bring them to me!" - Chris Brown, Yeah x3
    Who exactly is Chris Brown addressing? I imagine that the people in the club whom he asks for his bottles are not the people who are in charge of bringing him his bottles. This line makes him seem drunk enough that he doesn't need any more bottles.

  3. "Grab somebody sexy, tell 'em 'Hey...'" - Pitbull, Give Me Everything
    Probably not the best plan for picking up women, but I think this whole song could be included on the most ridiculous list. This song makes the list for the logic alone. "The world might end, so we should have sex tonight, just in case," might have made a lot of drunk sense.

  4. "Tell me what's next, Alien sex? Imma disrobe you, then Imma probe you" -Kanye West, ET by Katy Perry
    I am not entirely sure why Kanye would be featured as a rapper on anybody's song. I understand that he is a very famous rapper, but the problem is, he's really not very good at it. The reason he is famous is not because he raps well but because he produces well and makes distinctive music. So if you are going to hire somebody just for his rapping, why would you pick Kanye? If you don't think you agree with me, look back at his lyrics from 2009's Knocks You Down by Keri Hilson.

  5. "Shut the goose up" -Nicki Minaj, Superbass
    Let's be honest, this needed to be said. That goose is completely inappropriate. Really, I can't stand it. I almost didn't want to say it because just talking about this goose pisses me off.

Bonus Monday Post! Is it still a bonus if I've missed the last two posts?
