Song Parody Fragments:
"Hearts Are Gonna Roll" by Johnny Van Zant
Better Lyrics:
I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight.
Life seems so empty since you went away.
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my lonely tears instead,
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day.
Every hour you're away, I feel so lonely.
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
Wishing I could hold you tight.
Life seems so empty since you went away.
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my lonely tears instead,
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day.
Every hour you're away, I feel so lonely.
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
Original Lyrics:
Whoa, hearts are gonna roll

Original Lyrics:
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl

You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Repetitive Lyrics:
"I've Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Cat's In The Cradle" by Ugly Kid Joe
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little Boy Blue and the man on the moon
Little Boy Blue and the man on the moon
Why They're Nonsensical:
In the original version, Harry Chapin was singing about nursery rhymes and childhood imagery when he mentioned Little Boy Blue and the man in (not on) the moon. As most of us know, the man in the moon is the "face" that people imagine they see when they look at the full moon. But apparently Ugly Kid Joe thought the song was referring to Neil Armstrong's 1969 lunar landing ... which doesn't quite pack the same magic as the notion of gazing at the moon with your young kid.

Dirty Lyrics:
"Get Down" by b4-4
The Dirty Lyrics:
If you get down on me, I'll get down on you.
I will do anything that you want me to.
It's a game of give and take to make it through.
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight.
...
...Gonna make you come tonight,
Over to my house,
I will do anything that you want me to.
It's a game of give and take to make it through.
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight.
...
...Gonna make you come tonight,
Over to my house,
Why They're Dirty:
aside from "getting down" on someone meaning fellating them, the "make you come tonight" has a long pause before "over to my house", which actually sounds like the censors wouldn't let it pass so they made it "clean"

"Hit me baby one more time" by Britney Spears
The Dirty Lyrics:
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time.
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time.
Why They're Dirty:
Come on.. look at it. "When I'm not with you I lose my mind? We all know what she's insinuating. And "Hit me baby one more time" I think she just wants some boom boom from her bf

"Custard Pie" by Led Zeppelin
The Dirty Lyrics:
When you cut it mama, mama please save me a slice.
Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice.
Chewin' a piece of your custard pie.
Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice.
Chewin' a piece of your custard pie.
Why They're Dirty:
The song contains somewhat difficult-to-comprehend lyrics, but, like several other songs on the album, they are full of sexual innuendo. In this case, "Custard Pie" refers to a woman's sexual organs and the song is rife with references to oral sex.

Boasts in Song Lyrics:
"Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie
The Boasting Lyrics:
He was the Nazz
with God-given ass -
he took it all too far, but boy, could he play guitar.
with God-given ass -
he took it all too far, but boy, could he play guitar.
Comments:
Again, David talking about his own assets. Not only does he refer to Ziggy (his persona at the time) as the "Nazz" (the most magnetic of beings, a Jesus-like figure) but he also talks about his wonderful, God-given ass.

"Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie
The Boasting Lyrics:
Well-hung and snow white tan.
Comments:
Well, seeing as David WAS Ziggy Stardust, he's kinda just touting his own attributes here. I'm not saying he's wrong (have you SEEN The Man Who Fell To Earth?!) but he's definitely boasting.

The Song Lyrics:
You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time

Scary Song Lyrics:
"Street Fighter (War)" by Sick Puppies
The Lyrics:
About ready to break your arm (x3)
Why:
Part of it is how (relatively) calm he says it. And saying he actually wants to break someone's arm is pretty harsh.
