Funniest Song Lyrics:

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Someone To Call My Lover"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Ay ay Ay ay Ay ay Ay ay (repeat 4 times)
Why They're Repetitive: catchy for sure, but saying Ay Ay Ay all the time is reason enough why she hasn't got a lover

Don't you? Why They're Repetitive: Janet your husband dumped you. Get over it!

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Velvet Rope"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope Why They're Nonsensical: Unless 'Velvet Rope' happens to be a car, club or any other enterable object, I don't think I need to explain myself in my suggestion as to why these lyrics are nonsense. Or maybe this is a really huge rope, in fact so huge that each fiber is recognizable, therefore one is able to see the individual threads and somehow clamber in between each?
Submitted by: Devil Jones
| "Nasty"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: So close the door if you want me to respond
Why They're Nonsensical: And how would this help the person she's singing to? Maybe she doesn't want that person to see her response? I don't know...

Insincere Song Lyrics:
"Nasty"
The Insincere Lyrics: All you nasty boys
don't mean a thing to me Why They're Insincere: Tell that to Rene Elizando.
Submitted by: Celeste
| "Son Of A Gun"
The Insincere Lyrics: Hoo hoo, son of a gun,
greedy, greedy, greedy man. Why They're Insincere: Okay. I can understand the whole 'revenge of the ex' angle that this song has going but I know hostility when I hear it and Janet sounds as if she has a lot of il-feelings towards her ex. You don't write a vengeful and hateful song about someone and then deny about who its about.

| "Someone to Call my Lover"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Maybe we'll meet at a bar,
He'll drive a funky car, Maybe we'll meet at a club, And fall so deeply in love. He'll tell me I'm the one, And we'll have so much fun, I'll be the girl of his dreams, Maybe. Why They're Misrhymed: Half of these are stretched or aren't rhymes. bar-car=What does it matter if a guy drives a cool car or a crappy one?? club-love=Don't rhyme. one-fun=Okay I guess. dreams-maybe=Come on!! This is just my personal opinion. I like the song, but I don't like the lyrics. I don't know why. Ignore me. I tend to get annoying. Like right now. I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves......

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Showing breasts during halftime of the Super Bowl"
Wardrobe malfunction? This happened during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII, which was televised live during the "family" hours. Her blouse suddenly ripped apart as soon as Justin sang the last line of "Rock Your Body", ("Hope to see you naked by the end of this song") making the malfunction excuse hard to believe. Janet was wearing nipple rings, so the nipples were slightly blocked. She did apologize later, but it's sad that this and being Michael's sister are the only non-music things she'll now be now for.

"Wardrobe Malfunction"
