Songs you just don't understand

Beyonce - If I Were A Boy, Miss Knowles could probably fill up an entire thread with questionable songs (Destinys Child - Jumpin' positively encouraging cheating as it does) but this one is just plain odd. Is she trying to say that she'd be a better boyfriend than her current squeeze? Why is she waiting at home for her man like a lost puppy? Did the suffragettes really fight for womens rights just for her to mourn a boyfriend like a lovelorn teenager?

Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance. Is the singer a lesbian? Are they transgender? Why does the boyfriend need dancing lessons? Is the girl that is being sung about bisexual so there is a chance for the apparantly conflicted singer or are they happily heterosexual and unaware of this unrequited love?

Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing. Did she really write a song to moan that her significant other doesn't clean up? Why tell us and not him directly? Why is she so hung up on his dancing? Does this annoying song never end?

Before anyone points it out I may be reading a little too much into throwaway pop songs but I started thinking about it on a long car journey and couldn't help myself.

An excellent example, I fondly imagine when hip-hoppers get together for tea and crumpets to discuss their latest hits they conversation goes something like this.

Jay-Z: "So I'm rapping about bitches and how they ain't no problem to me, 'bout you?"
Fiddy-Cent: "I'm spitting game at a lady although it does go into my fondness for fat kids and cake"
Jay-Z: "Check yourself fool, you be letting down us all on the bitches and bling front, you - Gym Class Heroes, you been mad quiet, where you at?"
GCH: mumbles something unintelligible about kitchen utensils and girls
Nelly: "Say what?"
GCH: "It's a euphemism for cheating and sex involving a cookie jar and getting caught red handed"
Rest of the room: Explosive laughter and instant excommunication from the group for GCH.

Rihanna - Unfaithful.

"Our love, his trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore"

Ego?! Stupid cow. She's cheating on him and she's asking for sympathy. Utter crap!

"It wasn't me" - Shaggy

I really can't see what the guy was moaning about. He did the dirty on his girl and is now complaining because she found out? Get a back bone, or if not ditch the girl and stick with the girl next door, 'cause that's probably the only way to get any for a while.

That Guru Josh Project one that they play on Radio 1 every ten minutes. The lyrics are so trite I cringe every time I hear it.

This one?

I actually really like the horns at the start of it but the lyrics are completely rubbish, you're right.

Me and the girls often have 'geek off' dancing moments and that song would be one of them.

Arrrgh!!!
