This song drives me nuts

Let me start off with this: I actually like Bruno Mars. I think he's got a good voice and like every other woman on Earth loved "Just The Way You Are" and would probably melt into a pile of goo if some idiot played it on a acoustic guitar for me or something cheesy and stupid like that.



That being said "The Lazy Song" is just stupid. I get it, he wants to do something that sounds like some Jack Johnson song or maybe Jason Mraz or whatever. One of those boring twits. Actually the song kinda does remind me of the Jack Johnson song from the Curious George soundtrack. And it's not bad if you don't really listen to the words, which I'm learning more and more these days, lyrics are such an afterthought in music and even for the listener. It's almost like artists have figured out that most people can't even remember the titles of songs so why bother giving them words that mean anything or make any sense?



Some of my favorite parts of this track:

"I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man"

So wait is he sitting around Al Bundy style or wearing a stupid Snuggie? And why on Earth would you write a song about that? Either way? Stupid. And kinda gross.

"The Lazy Song"


Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)

Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
