A question about Nickelback lyrics?

I had a bad night and i am having a bad morning, i just want to rant about this. Anyone else want to rant about anything?

Here goes, last night i was cleaning my house and i had the radio on, Nickelback's song "Something in your mouth" came on and i have never really listened to this song before (well because i hate it). I was disgusted, really WTF here are the lyrics "You're so much cooler when you never pull it out, Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth" Don't you think that is a little degrading?

BQ: Songs about having a bad day?

Update:

Leprosy-I know!

Update 2:

I usually don't listen to them at all but i was cleaning the bathroom floor so i couldn't change it, i was scrubbing the floor thinking WTF!

Update 3:

Leprosy- I was already in a bad mood when it came on so it made it worse

Update 4:

The only thing that went good last night was that the radio station was featuring Rob Zombie songs!

Update 5:

Perse- Yes i also like the naughty songs too but when they are singing about a stripper sucking her thumb it get a little weird!

Update 6:

Rckets-Thank You! I agree with everything you say!

Update 7:

Bored @ Work- Scary!

    Let me put this as succinctly as possible. I'm not even a woman and I find their lyrics absolutely REPULSIVE. Not because I'm a prude and cannot handle racy content. I just have a problem with anything that shows blanket disrespect to women in general. The song isn't funny nor clever, just moronic. Their lyrics are so stupid that they basically disrespect and insult the entire human race. Something in Your Mouth is just the latest example of why Nickelback is the worst group going right now but that isn’t the first time they’ve disrespected the opposite sex. They brought their trailer trash world to the mainstream with Figured You Out back in 2003. How any woman can claim to be a fan of this band is beyond me. Then again, I’ve never figured out why they like Eminem either.

    Many people often look at Nickelback's lyrics on the surface. "Something In Your Mouth" is actually about that crazy girl in a club or bar who is desperate for attention and acting rather slutty. There's a lyric that says "you tease them all by sucking on your thumb," so the lyrics "you're so much cuter when you never pull it out" is actually referring to her thumb. I don't think the song degrades women so much as calling out a specific girl for having very little respect for herself. It's the same with the band's song "Rockstar." The lyrics of that song had many people accusing the band of being shallow and glorifying decadence, but the lyrics are actually quite tongue in cheek and are poking fun at the celebrity lifestyle.

    Hell, Nickelback is degrading to anybody in possession of as little as two neurons and a barely functioning synapse.

    I agree that it is totally degrading. I am definitely a woman in touch with her sexual side, but I would need a gun pointed at my head before I willingly gave up anything to Chad Kroeger. I love suggestive songs, but hate material that makes me feel gross and dirty after listening to it. Ewww...

    I am a bit sad today, my mom passed away four years ago on this day, and I miss her terribly.

    there's really no point in me commenting, everyon's already covered everything, i hate nicklback. (and yes i think it's degrading)

    as for a song about having a bad day, i don't know any good ones, but these songs are worth checking out:

    a light song: from where the dark is born - serenity

    medium: blood red sandman - lordi

    heavy: betrayer - kreator

    very heavy: havenless - enslaved

    I think it is degrading too. I hear it every morning on the radio where I work, and I hate it.

    I'm with you, Color. Sadly, drivel like that gets put on the radio and the sheep eat that sh*t up, which just leads to more drivel being produced. It's a sad, sad cycle. Hope your day gets better!

    BQ- This song is tongue-in-cheek, but it fits :)

    LOL @ Perse. That might make for a good question. How drunk would you have to be to put out for.....?

    It isn't degrading to ME personally. It sure as hell make NB look like a bunch of idiots though.

    I don't take songs like that personally. I consider the source. I like naughty songs with naughty lyrics. ( and the word naughty rocks too :P) I don't like it when NB trie to do them. I am not 100% sure those guys have lost their virginity yet. Poor guys, how drunk would you have to be to put out for Chad Kroeger?

    ****

    I have never heard that song. Hopefully I can keep it that way :P

    PJ, I am going to ask it!!! LMAO!
