![Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick At Budokan [Live]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EmXJWudAL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
Song: I Want You To Want Me
Artist: Cheap Trick
Album: Cheap Trick At Budokan [Live]
Release: 1979 (1977)
I woke up this morning singing “I want you to want me… I need you to need me” and I have no idea why. I don’t listen to Cheap Trick, I didn’t recently watch 10 Things I Hate About You, and I dreamed of zombies last night. Nonetheless, I’ve been singing it all day and getting strange looks from nearby co-workers. [artgirldetroit]
Lyrics:
I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I’d love you to love me. I’m beggin’ you to beg me. I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I’d love you to love me. I’ll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt. I’ll get home early from work if you say that you love me. Didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I see you cryin’? Oh, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I see you cryin’? Feelin’ all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin’. Oh, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I see you cryin’? I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I’d love you to love me. I’m beggin’ you to beg me. I’ll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt. I’ll get home early from work if you say that you love me. Didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I see you cryin’? Oh, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I see you cryin’? Feelin’ all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin’. Oh, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I see you cryin’? Feelin’ all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin’. Oh, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I see you cryin’? I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I’d love you to love me. I’m beggin’ you to beg me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me.

2009.10.15 - Wedgied By Beautiful Girls
Song: Beautiful Girls
Artist: Van Halen
Album: Van Halen II
Release: 1979
Ah yeah! It’s been so long since I’ve had a Song Wedgie, but this song has hit me a few days in a row. This song is in heavy rotation on SiriusXM’s Classic Rewind. Though it has cheesy lyrics, Beautiful Girls contains one of Diamond Dave’s best screams.
The song was originally titled Bring on the Girls when it was recorded for the 25-song Warner Brothers demo, but the title and lyrics were changed accordingly. [Wikipedia]
Lyrics:
She was seaside sittin, just a smokin and a drinkin on ringside, On top of the world, oh, yeah. She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa, What a beautiful girl, ah, yeah. What a sweet talkin honey with a little bit of money can Turn your head around. Creatures from the sea with the look to me like shed like to fool around. What a snappy little mammy. gonna keep her pappy happy And accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah. Here I am, aint no man of the world, no. All I need is a beautiful girl. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls. Well, I’m a bum in the sun and Im having fun. And I know you know I got no special plans. All the bills are paid. I got it made in the shade, And all I nee, nee, need is the woman. What a sweet talkin honey with a little bit of money can Turn your head around. Creatures from the sea with the looks to me like shed like to fool around. Here I am, ain’t no man of the world, no. All I need is a beautiful girl. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls. Now, I’m a seaside sittin, just a smokin and a drinkin; I’m ringside, on top of the world. I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand. All I need is a beautiful girl. Here I am, aint no man of the world, no. All I need is a beautiful girl. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
French People Suck By The Meatmen
Song Wedgie Hall of Fame
Song: French People Suck
Artist: The Meatmen
Album: Rock ‘N’ Roll Juggernaut
Release: 1986
My previous post of ‘French Navy’ by Camera Obscura, prompted me to make another induction into the Song Wedgie Hall of Fame. Sticking with the ‘French’ theme, I’m proud to induct The Meatmen’s ‘French People Suck’. I’ve been singing this song since the second grade, which is the same year it was released. Short, to the point, and most will agree - French People Suck!
Lyrics:
French People Suck French people suck I just gotta say Made the jet fighters Go out of their way Hating Yankees too much Those beret-headed nuts. They can stick the Eiffel Tower Straight up their butts Last time I flew Air France Played a tune on my Uzi And made the sissies dance Killed a hundred or more And I had a ball Those freakin’ frog suckers Be the death of us all French people suck French people suck French people suck French people can suck my…
2009.09.16 - Wedgied By A Frenchy
Song: French Navy
Artist: Camera Obscura
Album: My Maudlin Career
Release: 2009
The French Navy, officially the Marine nationale (National Navy) and often called La Royale is the maritime arm of the French military. It consists of a full range of vessels, from patrol boats to guided missile frigates, and operates one nuclear aircraft carrier and ten nuclear submarines.
The motto of the French Navy is Honneur, Patrie, Valeur, Discipline (“Honour, Fatherland, Valour, Discipline”). These words are found on the deck of every ship of the Navy. [Wikipedia]
Lyrics:
Spent a week in a dusty library Waiting for some words to jump at me We met by a trick of fate French navy my sailor mate We met by the moon on a silvery lake You came my way Said, I want you to stay You and your dietary restrictions Said you loved me with a lot of convention I was waiting to be struck by lightning Waiting for somebody exciting Like you Oh, the thing that you do You make me go uuuh With the things that you do (you do, you do) I wanted to control it But love, I couldn’t hold it I wanted to control it But love, I couldn’t hold it I’ll be criticized for lending out my eye I was criticized for letting you break my heart Why would a stand disappoint unless Fooling all but I’m more than dead love Uuuh with the looks Oh tender boy, Ooh, with the looks, the looks, the looks I wanted to control it But love, I couldn’t hold it I wanted to control it But love, I couldn’t hold it Relationships were something I used to do Convince me they are better for me and you We met by a trick of fate French Navy, my sailor I wanted to control it But love, I couldn’t hold it I wanted to control it But love, I couldn’t hold it
Enjoy! by The Descendents
Song Wedgie Hall of Fame
Song: Enjoy!
Artist: The Descendents
Album: Enjoy!
Release: 1986
As kids, my brothers and I would sing this song all the time. Usually, after ripping a big fart. For reasons unknown, we made up are own lyrics: ‘Smell my fart - enjoy! Make the most of my butt-toast’ and ‘smell my fart and enjoy it’. Till this day I still sing this song with the incorrect lyric of ‘smell my fart - enjoy’. Enjoy! Indeed, enjoy!
Lyrics:
Flatulation punctuates the still night air And I thank God you’re here I queefed - Enjoy Make the most of my butt-toast Enjoy my good friends - Enjoy The laces of my shoes unlock the mystery Come and share a treat with me I can’t recall the last time I washed my feet We’re in for a treat Here’s my shoes - Enjoy And here’s my socks - Enjoy Make the most of my toe toast Enjoy, my good friends - Enjoy Flatulation punctuates the still night air And I thank God you’re here I queefed - Enjoy Smell my feces - Enjoy Sniff my ass whilst I pass gas Enjoy my good friends - Enjoy
2009.08.27 - Wedgied By Somebody
Song: Use Somebody
Artist: Kings of Leon
Album: Only By The Night
Release: 2009
From Jesus to Jonas…
There is no reason for this wedgie - Kings of Leon have been the biggest disappointment(s) of 2009. They fucking sold-out: cut hair (check), clean shaven (check), make shitty music (check). If ‘somebody’ was used, it’s their fans from albums past. This album is virtually unlistenable. ‘Notion’ might be the worst song on the radio and that includes anything by Modest Mouse.
Lyrics:
I’ve been roaming around always lookin down at all I see. Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach. You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody Someone like you And all you know and how you speak Countless lovers undercover of the street You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody Someone like you Off in the night while you live it up I’m off to sleep Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat I hope it’s gonna make you notice I hope it’s gonna make you notice Someone like me Someone like me Someone like me Somebody (Go and let it out) Someone like you Somebody Someone like you Somebody Someone like you Somebody I’ve been roaming around always lookin down at all I see
2009.08.26 - Wedgied Till ‘Red’-assed
Song: True Stories
Artist: Datarock
Album: Red
Release: 2009
Norway’s Datarock makes no secret of its love for Talking Heads on the tribute track ‘True Stories’. But one can’t help wondering how many of today’s music fans can spot the song’s allusions. Take a shot at it anyway, and impress us with your intimate knowledge of Heads lore. Our informal math caught at least five song titles, and we’re big fans of the innovative art-pop pioneers. [Wired]
Editor Note: Song Wedgie is not a fan of the Talking Heads.
Lyrics:
Born under punches, cross eyed and painless Slippery people, I’m not In Love Houses In Motion, a Road To Nowhere Once In A Lifetime, I’m Not In Love Don’t Worry About The Government The Democratic Circus Cause Mommy Daddy You and I Are Burning Down The House Heeey! Heeeey! Heeeey! Heeey! Psycho Killer, radiohead Television Man, I’m Not In Love Puzzling Evidence, Seen and Not Seen This Must Be The Place I’m Not In Love Don’t Worry ‘Bout The Government The Democratic Circus Cause Mommy Daddy You and I Are Burning Down The House I Get wild, Wild Gravity Wild Wild Life, The Big Country Don’t Worry ‘Bout The Government The Democratic Circus Cause Mommy Daddy You and I Are Burning Down The House I Get Wild, Wild Gravity Wild Wild Life, The Big Country
2009.08.23 - Wedgied Getting My Leather On
Song: Zero
Artist: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Album: It’s Blitz!
Release: 2009
The cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s third LP It’s Blitz! features a striking high-speed camera-captured image of Karen O’s hand smashing a raw egg, sending its innards flying out in the shape of a Y. Karen O’s ‘Zero’ is an offer to us: to purposefully make ourselves blank slates—to assert agency in the interest of anonymity—while at the same time wholly giving ourselves over to the social. In other words, no one’s gonna ask our names, but we’d still better find out where they want us to go. [marathonpacks]
Lyrics:
Shake it like a ladder to the sun Makes me feel like a madman on the run Find me, never, never far gone So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on Your zero What’s your name? No one’s going to ask you Better find out where they want you to go Try and hit the spot Get to know it in the dark Get to know it whether you’re Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh Can you climb, climb, climb higher? Shake it like a ladder to the sun Makes me feel like a madman on the run No you’re never, never far gone So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on Your zero What’s your name? No one’s going to ask you Better find out where they want you to go Try and hit the spot Get to know it in the dark Get to know it whether you’re Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh Can you climb, climb, climb higher? Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? Hope not! Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? What’s your name? Your zero What’s your name? No one’s going to ask you Better find out where they want you to go Try and hit the spot Get to know it in the dark Get to know it whether you’re Crying, crying, crying, oh, oh Can you climb, climb, climb higher? Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? Hope not! Was it the cure? Shellshock! Was it the cure? Hope not! What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name? What’s your name?
2009.08.22 - Wedgied With Patience
Song: Patience
Artist: Guns N’ Roses
Album: G N’ R Lies
Release: 1989
This might be my favorite Guns N’ Fuckin’ Roses song that isn’t on Appetite for Destruction. Any song with whistling is an instant song wedgie - just ask David Ryba. The seed was planted when I heard it at the bar.
The song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The video was one of many produced by the band. It was the last video in which Steven Adler (even though he did not play on the track) appeared. [Wikipedia]
Lyrics:
(1..2…1,2,3,4) Shed a tear ‘cause I’m missing you I’m still alright to smile Girl, I think about you every day now Was a time when I wasn’t sure But you set my mind at ease There is no doubt you’re in my heart now Said woman take it slow It’ll work itself out fine All we need is just a little patience Said sugar make it slow And we’ll come together fine All we need is just a little patience (inhale) Patience… Ooh, oh, yeah Sit here on the stairs ‘Cause I’d rather be alone If I can’t have you right now, I’ll wait dear Sometimes, I get so tense But I can’t speed up the time But you know, love, there’s one more thing to consider Said woman take it slow Things will be just fine You and I’ll just use a little patience Said sugar take the time ‘Cause the lights are shining bright You and I’ve got what it takes to make it We won’t fake it, Oh never break it ‘Cause I can’t take it …little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah, Need a little patience, yeah Just a little patience, yeah Some more pati… (ence, yeah) I’ve been walking these streets at night Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah) It’s hard to see with so many around You know I don’t like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah) And the streets don’t change but maybe the name I ain’t got time for the game ‘Cause I need you (Patience, yeah) Yeah, yeah well I need you Oh, I need you (Take some patience) Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need) Ooh, this ti- me…

Lyrics:
And we’re slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces Heart it races And we go back to where we moved out to the places Heart it races I bought it in a can and stirred it with my fingers singing Boom ba-da-ta-da Boom ba-da-ta-da Threw it out the window And lately you been tanned, suspicious for the winter with your Boom ba-da-ta-da Boom ba-da-ta-da Legs like little splinters And we’re slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces Heart it races And we go back to where we moved out to the places Heart it races I sold it to a man and threw him out the window He went Boom ba-da-ta-da Boom ba-da-ta-da Made his wife a widow Boom ba-da-ta-da Boom ba-da-ta-da
