But they’re out of bear claws.
Shut up and eat your big ol' bowl of saurkraut.
Edit: Wait, Albuquerque is a food song after all!
I mean, the forty-five minute donut breakdown was about the absolute absence of food, but the sauerkraut saves the day!

What I find hilarious is the pop song about stuff. No one cares about your Nikes, TV, clothes or car. And in terms of sex... Rappers talking about their dick ...it's actually gay.
Brag rap just has this extreme authentic mentally ill insecure vibe to it. Their response to calling that stuff out usually digs them deeper into whackness and they think when they flex at you it isn't a lame af response.
☜╮(•́⍛•̀☜╮) The marriage of hustle culture, misogyny, and conspicuous consumption into one subgenre. I’d prefer the love songs.
Hey, there are also songs about drugs
Novacaine, for the soul. Before I sputter out
The sky was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it through my nose
I love that cocaine, I love that cocaine
I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town.
You can smoke it you can chew it you can really get into it smoking pot.
I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot Hits that bottle and goes right to the rock.
I think you might be right, there are a couple of songs about drugs.
I was going to say most songs are about heroin
Oooh...anyone else love the Tenacious D song, "Tribute"?
Meh, it's not the best song in the world.
No, it's just a tribute.

There's always power metal, if you want every song to be about flying across the mountains up toward the blackened sky-eeee
Get into metal, synthwave or goth and you'll never have this problem
Unsolved problems in other genres:
- Seeing whales
- Calling yourself Nemo
- Making a beast out of yourself
- Finding a rock to tie a piece of string around
- Watching a volcano carve the earth with unrivalled skill
- Watching yourself from the perspective of a mountain
- Being a melancholy spirit
- Being caught in a media blizzard
I don't think Rage Against The Machine ever did a love song ...
Loving in the name of
Some of those that are gorgeous
Are the same that spark passion
...
Fuck you I will do what you ask me
Fuck you I will do what you ask me
Fuck you I will do what you ask me
My kids love power metal, so today in the car we were listening to songs about Norse mythology, mining, and exploring the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home!
A while ago I was listening to a song. It was about some guy singing about how much he loved his baby, and how it makes his life worth living. I thought to myself "wow that's heartwarming, this guy really loves his child!" And then he starts singing about how he loves when his baby touches him... and now I'm not so happy about the song.
Why so many mating songs?? Why not platonic love songs? Why not songs about good deeds? Why not songs about folk legends? There should definitely be a song about putting pineapple on pizza! That is song-worthy!
I want to hear more songs about fucking sheep. I still haven't rebuilt my pc so I can't make a song out of this at the moment but:
On the edge
By Krooklochurm
A sheep fucking country ballad
(Verse 1)
They said we'd never be together and I've been losing sleep
But they always say the same things and I won't be fleeced
I'm goin crazy for you in my pickup driving east
Those other girls are okay but they're all just sheep
I put my four wheels in a u turn and I want to scream, because
(Chorus)
I'M ON THE EDGE WITH YOU,
AND I CAN'T BEAR TO BE APART
WE'RE JUST TWO BROKEN VALVES WORN OUT OF SYNC IN DIFFERENT HEARTS
PULLED THE WOOL FROM MY EYES AND ILL NEVER PUT IT BACK,
BECAUSE I PUSH YOU TO THE EDGE.... AND YOU PUSH BACK
(Verse 2)
Even if my friends abhor you
babe I swear I'll never bore you
When we're driving in my pickup truck
I look back and I'm awestruck
When we're at our secret spot I know that I'm in luck
And if loves a cliff it's clear
The future is precipitous and shear
But if you push me through it all
I swear I'll never let you fall, because
(Chorus)
I'M ON THE EDGE WITH YOU,
AND I CAN'T BEAR TO BE APART
WE'RE JUST TWO BROKEN VALVES WORN OUT OF SYNC IN DIFFERENT HEARTS
PULLED THE WOOL FROM MY EYES AND I WILL NEVER PUT IT BACK,
BECAUSE I PUSH YOU TO THE EDGE.... AND YOU PUSH BACK
(Spoken)
The world does not approve
They say I'm sick and out of place
But terra firma's where we stand,
the sea below, your curls, my hands,
the wind upon my face
I grab you and I lose control and push you to the brink
Our love will grow, I know I think, because
(Chorus)
I'M ON THE EDGE WITH YOU,
AND I CAN'T BEAR TO BE APART
WE'RE JUST TWO BROKEN VALVES WORN OUT OF SYNC IN DIFFERENT HEARTS
PULLED THE WOOL FROM MY EYES AND I WILL NEVER PUT IT BACK,
BECAUSE I PUSH YOU TO THE EDGE.... AND YOU PUSH BACK
(OUTRO)
WHEN I'M ON THE EDGE WITH YOU,
I CAN'T BEAR TO BE APART
WE PUMP IN SYNC JUST LIKE TWO VALES IN THE SAME OL' HEART
BUT THEN THE WOOL'S OVER MY EYES, I JUST PUT IT BACK
YOU PUSHED ME FROM THE EDGE... AND I WALKED BACK
that sounds less like fucking sheep and more like edging with sheep
edit: also west rhymes with blessed better than east
It's an old joke that if you fuck a sheep on the edge of a cliff they'll let you do it because they're afraid of falling.
i'm a little concerned that bestiality jokes you know include techniques, but i get it

"Why is every movie about love?" I ask myself, halfway through the 10th romcom I've deliberated selected to watch on Netflix
Love is a popular song topic but you're free to listen to something else...
A small fraction of tv is full romance
(though most tvs shows have some romance in them, that's a separate problem)
Feels like 80-90% of pop songs are about love/sex/lust/relationships
The point of the joke was that you're choosing listen to the pop songs about romance. I guess a better analogy would have been "why does every candy have chocolate in it?"
Most people like love, most people like chocolate. They're in a lot of popular things because they're popular but they're far from the only option

As my high school English teacher pointed out, they’re not all about sex. Some of them are about Jesus.
(I don’t know why there aren’t any songs about sex with Jesus. Seems like a no-brainer.)
Some of Sufjan Stevens' walk a fine line between those two

Bring back popular music that tells a story. I think that‘s fallen by the wayside. Like ‘60s counter culture, ‘70‘s music like Wayward Son, or even ‘80‘s Knopfler music like Romeo and Juliet.
lots of vocaloid artists I like have story to their songs.
Crusher, Vane Lily, etc
They're all about a specific kind of love too. List. Either wanting someone or being head over heels with them with new relationship energy.
Or breakups.
That's it. That's every song.
The cowboy song about beating the devil in a music contest is about love and sex too, though, y'all.
The devil pretended to lose so he could seduce Johnny later
Where did the trope of the devil playing a fiddle come from anyway?
Is it from Paganini having sold his soul to the devil for his virtue?
There's a trope about it? The only fiddle thoughts I can think of are the song referenced in the op, and nero supposedly playing one while rome burned... though I don't think it would have been a fiddle he was playing.

Can’t remember which one, but there was a Cracked writer that suggested American culture uses romantic love in the place of a deity. We essentially worship the concept. So many of our songs are about it. Our movies tell a cohesive story that pushes the plot forward in a way that many cultures reserve for gods or forces of nature.
I want more folk singers like Woody Guthrie, Utah Phillips, Joe Glazer, and so forth
Try Jesse Welles
Oh yeah I forgot about that guy. He's a good folk singer. Thanks for bringing him up, soapbox!

I heard The Devil Went Down to Georgia in Walmart yesterday
Gimme one about the teacher who
Trying to change a life or two
She’ll be rocking out all night with you
Tomorrow she’ll be back in her red brick school
Where kids are climbing off the walls, it’s scary walking down the halls
She’s underpaid, she’s overworked
Cmon man SHOUT ONE OUT TO HER
Stick THAT in your country song
Right? I grew up listening to emo and pop punk, but I had no idea what I was singing along to at the time, and being older I know that words matter, so I won't be singing along to them now that I understand them either!
Where's all the music about paying bills and being annoyed by your kids?
There is an excellent album by Cheekface called "It's Sorted" that talks about all kinds of mundane modern problems. They sound sort of like Cake with a comedic element.
Awesome, I'll be looking them up in my next free moment!

This is why I appreciate Angéle. A lot of her solo songs are about social topics. For example, Balance Ton Qui. It's so catchy with great lyrics about sexist attitudes.
