You're Ugly But You Intrigue Me

You know what really grinds my gears?

Pop Song Titles.

Some song titles have intriguing origins, for example, it's interesting to learn that Eric Clapton's 'Layla,' and 'Wonderful Tonight," and George Harrison's 'Something' were all inspired by the same woman, Pattie Boyd. But when I found out that Alanis Morissette's rage filled, fuck yeah song, 'You Oughta Know' was written about Full House's Joey aka Dave Coulier, I was pissed. Popeye impersonating Joey?!? CUT IT OUT!

Here are a few more examples of strange Pop song titles and where I suppose they might have come from....

'Boom Boom Pow' - The Black Eyed Peas: Clearly, the BEP's are avid Batman comic fans

'If U Seek Amy' - Britney Spears: I've yet to even hear this song and I'm going to keep it that way. I refuse to support anyone that obviously didn't pass third grade grammar class... 'U' does NOT equal 'You.' argggg...

'My Life Would Suck Without You' - Kelly Clarkson: It's for Simon. Kelly's life would suck without that angry, yet lovable Brit.

'Speed of Sound' - Coldplay: How fast Chris Martin can write a song once he's decided which Radiohead song to rip off.

'Let's Get it On' - Marvin Gaye: Why can't all song titles be straight forward like this one? So clear and to the point. No beating around the bush, let's just get it on. Like my favorite pickup line: Nice shoes, wanna fuck?

How about you, loyal readership? Any song titles that grind your gears???
