Didn't realise that... but it STILL doesn't make sense?!

On the band's official website, the biography section states that Flowers is singing "Are we human, or are we dancer?" and also says that the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson, where he stated America was raising "a generation of dancers".[9] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Flowers said that he was irritated over the confusion about the lyrics and also that fans were unhappy with the song's dance beat: "It's supposed to be a dance song, [the beat] goes with the chorus...If you can't put that together, you're an idiot. I just don't get why there's a confusion about it."[10]

:/

I think some 'musicians' try too hard to be clever at times.

Another one that's been bugging me for a while and I've only just thought of this thread.

Katy Perry - California Gurls

Let's start by glossing over the misspelling because that particular irritation could occupy me for quite a while and move onto the lyrics. "So hot. We'll melt your Popsicle." - ok, I understand it's a euphemism but if I'm understanding the euphemism correctly (and there's no guarantee of that) then why oh why would melting my popsicle be a good thing? I don't claim to speak for all guys here but anyone with a heatsource that could potentially liquefy my manhood is not welcome within a good 5' of that region.

And furthermore isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder, I've never found anyone threatening to de-man me to be particularly enticing yet but I'll confess that there's a possibility that may be different in the future. Not incidentally what gives Ms Perry the right to proclaim herself so attractive? Surely that's pride and boastfulness which I'd always through was rather frowned upon by the Christian church, pride being as it is the foremost of the deadly sins? There's probably a whole topic on the hypocrisies and contradictions that is Katy Perry and religion but I'll leave it there.

It's been a while since I've heard a song that perplexed me but Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me has done it. He spends pretty much the entire song telling us what a completely heinous (a word sadly underused I feel) and self-absorbed bitch this object of his affection is and yet all the while pines after her. If he was singing about how attractive he found her then that would be fair enough but she's apparently got no idea who he is and he has no idea what she is like - he still reckons that he could trick her into going out with him though.

Surely this is pretty close to the dictionary definition of a rap? Otherwise this would be what Mr Mathers? Poetry?
In the next line though we do get this gem.
