Me neither, but then again I can't understand half of what she's saying anyway.

EDIT: Most of the songs aren't too bad, but what about "Cold Light"? http://www.lyrics007.com/Yeah%20Yeah%20Yeahs%20Lyrics/Cold%20Light%20Lyrics.html

I've never listened to the "YeahYeahYeahs", but skimming quickly on Lyric's Cafe, it seems the worst thing they say is s**t, and it's only once.

check it out [addsig]

THAT SONG RAWKS!

Anyway, look at the link I posted above, I think that's a little more graphic than s**t, even if it isn't swearing.

Cold Light
Hot night
be my heater be my lover
and we could do it to each other

Ride daddy ride
ride out the tide
ide rather die
then say goodbye
and watch you go
go go go

Yeah, I know, but parental advisory means language. Otherwise every pop song EVER would need parental advisory, as they are all about screwing, especially from boy bands ... ew.

But that song's lyrics don't deserve a mandatory parental advisory. Also last time I checked, which was a long time ago, the 'artists' had to say whether it needed parental advisory stickers or not, unless there was a massive amount of swearing then the label made it parental advisory. [addsig]

If they are a band that is going to be widely popular with little kids then having one or two swear words in it will get the explicit label slapped on them... mainly because kids aren't supposed to listen to cussing according to the labels. I've got death metal and punk albums that have swearing and questionable lyrics with no explicit label because no one's either heard of them or no kids are going to want to listen to them. I have two cds from one of the most vulgar punk bands ever, The Dwarves, and they dont have the explicit label.

PS: Sum41 isn't a kids band . Next you're going to say Offspring is one too...

Hey, that reminds me of something, Yak, have you heard Offsprings latest album at all? I haven't heard anything from it, but I was surprised to see a parental advisory sticker, I found out why though, looking through lyrics. There's like one song that has f**k like every other word, rather odd for them, to be honest. [addsig]

Heh, not really. I have that CD and I haven't actually listened to it very carefully, but one friend of mine who is a diehard Offspring fan says it is a throwback to their earlier albums (Ignition, Smash) and likes it a lot. I know the song you're talking about, Da Hui, and the swearing is not that odd, considering songs like Session, LAPD, Kill the President, Bad Habit, Cool to Hate, Feelings, DUI, Me and My Old Lady...they aren't a kids band

No no, I'm well aware of their swearing, however it never seemed like just blaintant swearing.

Throw back eh?? That's awesome! I was rather 'disapointed' with their last two albums, I mean, they're alright, but, session and smash are great (I personally like session more). However, I just don't like their first album that much to be honest, like, it's got good songs on it, but the album as a whole doesn't stand close to anything they did on the two albums right after it.

[/rant/praise]

I'll have to find it somewhere then. I was rather hesitance to purchase it taking that my musical taste has wondered into other areas, but I still hold a place in my heart (and cd book for that matter) for The Offspring. [addsig]

New Offspring album, eh? Is it more of him just shouting loudly and flatly over a bunch of power chords? :runs:

Hey there are bands who're talented that only play power chords. (To be honest, even though I like most of the Offsprings stuff, they're not really great musicians.)

Tool is a bad who play's mostly nothing but power chords, and in drop D, and they're awesome, so. [addsig]

Tool and The Offspring may both play mostly power chords, but there's a large difference between them; The Offspring are out to make catchy pop-punk anthems, while Tool are more orchestral and progressive in their musical style. Not to mention Maynard James Keenan is possibly the greatest vocalist this side of Christian Scabbia. [addsig]

Just because it's a kids band, doesn't mean it's only for kids, it means it's for kids as well as for everyone else. A band like tool aren't going to appeal to kids. Sum 41 appeals to kids and everyone else.

Bah! Offspring is not pop-punk. We aren't talking about Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, All-American Rejects, Simple Plan, or any of that crap...

...That's why they're always on the radio ... oh wait .

The songs they release off their albums are like the worst songs they've ever made, it's so weird. The other stuff in the albums are usually nothing like the singles they release.

Also, I know The Offspring and Tool are different bands with different styles ... I never said they were the same, or even close, I mentioned that they both play mostly power chords. And yes, I'm well aware that Tool is a much better band then The Offspring [addsig]

It's not wierd. People who buy the singles aren't the same people who buy the albums. The single releases are more catchy, as single buyers buy catchy songs... If they released the tracks that the albums buyers thought were best as singles, nobody would buy it.

Nobody seems to mate, its just young kids that hear and like a song, and can only afford a single with their pocket money..
