Seriously, if you’re going to use Zeppelin as your benchmark for great pop lyrics at least go with ‘the way you squeeze my lemon, I’m gonna fall right out of bed.’ Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits are turning in their graves and they’re not even dead yet. Honorable mention to Elvis Costello, who just looks dead.
I hate this argument. Take a great band from one era juxtapose it with a terrible lyric from an otherwise great artist and claim that music sucks. Eugh.
Is Kyle talking music quality or sentiments about women expressed in song? Either way shyte music knows no decade…
1968 – Bobby Goldsboro
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn’t die
Came runnin’ in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
I live for eternity.
How does one flow like a harpoon daily or nightly?
Yo, I don’t know! Just turn off the lights, and I’ll glow.
Really Kyle? I’d say it’s going in One Direction.
Can’t say those Zeppelin lyrics are very good either.
I light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle.
Hmm, now that I say that out loud, it sounds really gay.
What the hell is a Rockman lover? and why do they all drive Lamborghinis?

^ “from an otherwise great artist”
Cute.
There are some great artists these days, but Drake and Lil Wayne are not part of that group.
What about “…in the name of love”?
