On Hit Music

I thought I'd share some of my favorite lyrics from current "hit" singles, with my own highlights and punctuation for emphasis.
(meant to be read expressively and preferably aloud)


From Raise Your Glass by PiNK:

We're gonna lose our minds tonight!
What's the dealio?
...
Call me up if you want gangsta!
Don't be fancy, just get dancey!
...
We will never be never be, anything but loud and nitty gritty dirty little freaks!


Contributed by Bruno Mars, Grenade:

You don't understand!
I’d catch a grenade for ya: yeah, yeah, yeah!
Throw my hand on a blade for ya! yeah, yeah, yeah.
I’d jump in front of a train for ya - yeah, yeah , yeah.
You know I'd do anything for ya! yeah, yeah, yeah!


(This title tells it all) WE R WHO WE R by Ke$ha

We make the hipsters fall in love
And we’ve got hot-pants on enough...
Got Jesus on my necklace.
...
Looking sick and sexy-fied!
...
DJ turn it up!
I’m so sick of being so serious!
It’s making my brain delirious!
I’m just talkin’ truth...
...
We’re selling our clothes, sleeping in cars, dressing it down, hitting on dudes
(HARD!)


And a personal favorite, Who Are You When I'm Not Looking by Blake Shelton:

My-Oh-My!
You're so good-looking!
Hold yourself together... like a pair of bookends.
But I've not tasted all your cooking!
Who ARE you when I'm not looking?




Excuse me while I go kill myself.
