Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Song Lyrics That Make Me Cringe

 

The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated. 

Last week's Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge asked us to share our favorite song lyrics. This week, it is time to share the song lyrics that make us cringe. While the Internet and I seem to have differing opinions on what makes lyrics cringy, we will see what I come up with.

Cringy stalker vibes: because nothing says true love like being hunted down and collected.

I will have you,

yes, I will have you

I will find a way, 

and I will have you

Like a butterfly, 

a wild butterfly

I will collect you and capture you

"Obsession" by Animotion

Cringy animal love: couldn't we all have done without mating muskrats? 

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango

Singin' and jinglin' a jango

Floatin' like the heavens above

Looks like muskrat love

Muskrat Love" by Captain & Tennille

Cringy dark thoughts: made even more tragic by Chester Bennington's death in 2017.*

I'm holding on

Why is everything so heavy

Holding on

Just so much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go

I'd be set free

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy

"Heavy" by Linkin Park

*This is my favorite song by Linkin Park. It was relatable at a time when I struggled and only wanted to find a way to be happy again. Now, on the other side of that terrible time, the sheer pain in these lyrics is hard to read and listen to, but Bennington's decision to share so much of his own struggle remains an enduring part of his legacy. 

Cringy bad: aren't we still shaking our heads over how this song made it on the air?

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday

Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin')

We-we-we so excited

We so excited

We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday

And Sunday comes afterwards

I don't want this weekend to end

"Friday" by Rebecca Black
