Catchy = Stupid?

Music is very important for me. I don't consider myself and expert, but it's very rare for me to have no music around me. It helps me focus and I definitely work better when plugged to my portable.

Admittedly, the lyrics or message don't concern me most of the time, since I only want music to go through loads of pending work or to pass time. So it's not a surprise that I'm listening to music in many languages, even if I've studied some of them. (English included.)

However, sometimes I do get curious about certain songs and I start paying attention to the lyrics—if I understand enough of the language in question—or I go get a translation. And more times than not, I've gone WTF at their idiocy or perviness. xD

Here's a few examples of that, most ot them taken from my current playlist... (But none by Momusu, because I CANNOT pick just a few.)


AKB48 ~ AKB48
At first, all I got was the chorus. Reading Stage48's translation made me facepalm, but it was too late for me to give this up. *whistles*

Émilie Simon ~ I Wanna Be Your Dog
Music hooked me in, but lyrics only made me think of BDSM. xD Then again, maybe it was my subconscience telling me I had to like this... :P *ponders*

Groove Armada ~ I See You Baby
If not for the video, this song would make no sense at all.

Gyaruru ~ Boom Boom Meccha Maccho!
If this isn't a bad song, then I don't know what it IS. :P Still, it infiltrated my playlist because it's catchy as feck! And don't miss this, btw. It's good for lulz.

Ilona Mitrecey ~ Un Monde Parfait
When I actually paid attention to the lyrics, I felt retarded. *cracks up* Damned catchy song, I just cannot help bobbing my head everytime I listen to it! º\>_<

Lords of Acid ~ I Must Increase My Bust
I got to know about this song by mere accident, and I was on the verge of ROFLing like mad over it. Kiddies should refrain from singing this in front of adults; everybody else just enjoy the damn thing! >.>

Lords of Acid ~ Pussy
Yes, I'm repeating artists... Just because I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song. :) Let's just pretend remember it IS about a cat and nothing else, ok? That's all kiddies need to know, anyway. :3

Sergey Lazarev ~ TV or Radio
If I didn't like him so much, I'd probably wish him a horrible death because of this— song. xD (Nah!)

SNSD ~ Gee
I like this because of its easy, catchy tune, but my eyes almost bled after reading the translation. So, now I'm trying to forget it. XD

Spice Girls ~ Wannabe
So, what was this song about?

Tatu ~ Robot
Oh, the infamous vibrator song! xD I thought people were making this up, but I was cracking up badly when I realized they weren't so wrong in their interpretation of the lyrics. :P But, as most of things related to these girls, the innuendos have been denied. ¬_¬" Still, this is the perfect example of catchy but pervy foreign song. *thumbs up*

Whigfield ~ Saturday Night
Sometimes I wish my English would have never improved. Then again, I'd probably miss all the fun~ *scoffs*

Wonder Girls ~ Nobody
Catchy as feck, dammit! I wonder if anyone besides Korean fans has tried counting the "nobodies"? :s

Yelle ~ À Cause des Garçons
Actually, I like TEPR version of this better. Probably because it's a different kind of idiotic. *rolls eyes* Still, the video's trippy. ;)
