(disclaimer: the following review is a parody of what I think many of the people who made comments on this blog entry would like me to do with their favorite songs. This review is not intended to give any spiritual guidance or Biblical direction.)
They’ve done it again. The awesome band, Paramore, has released another exciting single, the curiously titled “CrushCrushCrush.”
This song rocks. It’s format is quite original, I believe. It’s not your typical verse/chorus/verse song.
Singer Haley Williams is incredible- the notes she chooses to sing (as is the case in their previous hit, “Misery Business” as well) don’t cease to amaze me.
I do have some questions about the lyrical content, however.
(lyrics found at www.lyricsmania.com)
Rock and roll honey, don’t you know, baby that we’re all alone now
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll hey, don’t you know, baby that we’re all alone now
Give me something to sing aboutNothing compares to a quiet evening alone…
Is Haley Williams married? If not, is it OK for her to be alone with a boyfriend? Oh, I read on some dude’s blog that Haley is a Christian, so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. Her parents must be in the other room. I wonder what she means by “Give me something to sing about.” Gee, that sounds vaguely suggestive and sexual. I heard once that the phrase “Rock and Roll” is a euphemism for sexual activity. But Haley is a Christian, so that must not be what she means by “Rock and Roll.” She probably just wants to sing about the love between them!
Huh! This interview says that they’re influenced by the demonic band Slipknot. Hehe! Those jokers!
Anyway, I don’t care about any of that stuff- this song rocks!

While I appreciate the parody here I think that maybe you might be reading too much into their lyrics. Have you listened to the track backwords? As for the interview you linked to that mentions they are heavily influenced by Slipknot. Um … have you heard of tongue-in-cheek? Ok, beyond this you have encouraged me to look a bit deeper into the lyrics. Case in point, the lyrics to “Misery Business?”
Uh. That guy above me, barrydean, I’m not sure he got the full message of this little satire review, but w/e. He sounds a little serious to me.
Anyways, I really enjoyed that. People take stuff wayyy to seriously these days. They find all the smallest things in words and twist them around to sound how they want them to. I’m glad someone out there knows how to take things in without over reacting. I especially love the part,
“Give me something to sing about.” Gee, that sounds vaguely suggestive and sexual.
I had fun with that. That’s exactly what happens. You did a good job of giving the topic a sense of humor.
Thanks for posting.
I just don’t get it. A lot of jokes go flying over my head that other people laugh at. I have an odd sense of humor, but I really love this part:
“Give me something to sing about.” Gee, that sounds vaguely suggestive and sexual.
*Laughs out loud* Nice touch!
again its hayley not haley. wow you read wwwaaayyyy too much into the lyrics!! i mean can you drop religion for one freaking minute!! ok i understand that you believe in god and all that but not every song has to do with religion. and even if thats what she means who cares? well obviously you but i have a lot of christian friends and they dont think of it that way and they love the song and lyrics. but whatever…you can think the way you want.
