De nieuwe cd van Robbie Williams bevat ‘rampzalig infantiele teksten’, aldus muziekrecensent Gijsbert Kamer in de Volkskrant. Hij licht de volgende strofe eruit: ‘The Egyptians built their pyramids/The Romans did what they did’. Kan het erger? Ja hoor, moeiteloos.
I’m as serious as cancer/When I say rhythm is a dancer(Rhythm Is A Dancer, Snap!, 1992)
Lucky that my breasts/Are small and humble/So you don’t confuse/Them with mountains(Whenever, Wherever, Shakira, 2001)
There’s an insect/In your ear/If you scratch/It won’t disappear(Staring At The Sun, U2, 1997)
There were plants/And birds/And rocks/And things(A Horse With No Name, America, 1972)
Your butt is mine/Gonna take you right(Bad, Michael Jackson, 1987)
Young, black and famous/With money hangin’/Out the anus(Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down, Puff Daddy, 1997)
Coast to coast/L.
A. to Chicago(Smooth Operator, Sade, 1984)
She had dumps like a truck truck truck/Thighs like what what what/Baby move your butt butt butt(Thong Song, Sisqo, 1999)
And I met a girl/ She asked me my name/ I told her what it was(Somewhere Else, Razorlight, 2005)
Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head/The alphabet runs right from A to Z(Never Ever, All Saints, 1998)
Ik zat in tram vijf en m’n lul stond stijf/Want naast me zat een lekker wijf(Moordenaar, Osdorp Posse, 1992)
Zijn we rampzalige infantiele teksten vergeten? Vul gerust aan.
