Prompted by something a friend showed me on Saturday night, this thread is about making a song sound far more interesting than it actually is i.e instead of saying "This song is about the time I broke up with my man because he was a two-timing bastard" why not say "This song is about de-fleaing a hedgehog only to discover that they need fleas to keep their blood pressure down"?

I'll start it off:

This song is about that feeling when you're tired and hot, carrying a heavy bag and not being able to scratch that sudden itch between your shoulder blades.

This song is about girls' ankles.

This one is about out-smarting a lover even though you know they're right.

This is song is about sawing off another man's penis and throwing it at a former member of 70's rock legends Yes. Whilst on nutmeg and speed.

This song is about my lawsuit with the McDonalds corporation

This next one is about a pebble falling out of your shoe when you hadn't noticed there was one in there.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

This song is about what a bitch's Eminem's mother is.

This song is about twenty minutes long thanks to the drum solo, so feel free to use this opportunity to take a piss.

This song is about a girl. A very special girl I've yet to meet. A girl who thinks my wang tastes like Werther's Originals.

This song is about a song that is not a rebel song.

This song is about to knock your socks off. So take off your shoes, lest you wanna walk home with the bare feet blues. and-a-one-and-a-two-and-a...

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

This one is about my inability to use a simple alphabetical filing system

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Jim - since when did you join Snog? *grin*

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

humour imitates actual art shocker! crikey

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

This song is about "Predator 2," so buckle the fuck up!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

This song is not this is not a love song.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

This one's about that Laughing Cow cheese that's been in my fridge since November but still hasn't passed it's best before date and I just can't bring myself to throw out.... *with nodding head and added pathos* even though nobody eats it.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

You know that funny taste toast has, when you eat it just after brushing your teeth? Well, I wrote this song about it.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

This is based on the Magnificat. It's rockier.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

This song is about former FC Sion, Newcastle United, Everton, and Lausanne Sports left back Marc Hottiger.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

And now, A Walk in the Black Forest.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 February 2003 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

This tune's called "I Got a Cow in the Sky, But I Can't Drink Her Milk."

― Tim Buckley, Monday, 24 February 2003 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I wrote this for someone who refused to sing it.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 24 February 2003 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi, thanks for coming out. We are going to lead off with the song that was in the Volkswagen commercial.

― Aaron A., Monday, 24 February 2003 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

This song is about a thread on a message board that was never intended for public consumption.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 24 February 2003 02:13 (twenty-two years ago)

One I've actually used: "This one is about advanced fellatio techniques."

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 24 February 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

AARON>> The Volkswagen convertible copmmercial? i love that song...It's "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra. It kicks ass... for those of you who are saying, "Who the fuck is Electric Light Orchestra" ...I bet you know them...just listen to their greatest hits.

― lola falana, Monday, 24 February 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a song about when you think it's going to rain and you take your umbrella to work and it doesn't rain, but then on the way home it starts raining and you get your umbrella out and you're all smug and happy, but then it starts hailing and golfball sized hailstones rip your umbrella to tatters, but it's okay because it was an old umbrella and you were thinking about getting a new one anyway. Okay, let's hit it!

― Poppy (poppy), Monday, 24 February 2003 03:49 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a song about my pet goat, named Shishkabob who ran away and so so I got a turkey named Fred but then Fred began to lay eggs and so I changed his name to Fredricka and then he died and I got some chickens as pets.

One I've actually used: "This one is about advanced fellatio techniques."

*tries to guess which song it applies to*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 February 2003 05:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Not one you've heard. (Also not one that has anything to do with advanced fellatio techniques.) There is always the chance that we (that is, I) will write a song about such techniques, however.

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 24 February 2003 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Yer fanbase awaits patiently.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 February 2003 05:08 (twenty-two years ago)

My fan base (N.B. this does not specifically mean you, Ned) had better start giving me opportunities to test out (or discover) such techniques!

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 24 February 2003 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

!!!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 February 2003 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

(No offense, of course.)

"This song is about wrapping your dick in a flannel shirt and fucking a cow up the ass with it." -- Senor Reznor before "Closer" from a boot I have. I think he was making fun of grunge.

"This song is about something but I can't remember what right now 'cause I'm kinda been drinking but you'll get it once I start" paraphrasing the introduction by a relativly non-famous entertainer, just before he walked off the stage, having been blinded by the footlights. Our money was refunded.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 24 February 2003 05:44 (twenty-two years ago)

This next one's about having gotten next to no sleep and on waking deciding to have a bath in like, two inches, of luke-warm water instead of a shower as the shower was in a different bathroom further away by at least 20 feet.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 24 February 2003 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

This one's for Charlie Sheen.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 24 February 2003 10:10 (twenty-two years ago)

there's a jeffery lewis song about how too many singers use writers' block and the songwriting process itself as a subject for their work. chorus goes a little something like this:

songs about songwriting suck
so i'm writing a song about songs about songwriting

This song is for Napanee Ontario - the little town that doesn't understand how little it really is.

This is the best song ever written, and I should know coz I wrote it.

I get emotional every time I sing this song. It's about Madchen's long-awaited return to ILE.
