I Never Really Listened To These Lyrics And Knew What They Meant Till I Got Older

[BunnysBastatrds 2,598]

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me, and escape"1

I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape"

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you"
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"

"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape"

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I'm the love that you've looked for, come with me, and escape"

Guess I didn't know that either. Talk about an awkward moment.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,543]

wow never even listened to the lyrics closely

[edjr 6,898]

Yeah, I'm guessing the real reply wouldn't be "aw, it's you"

[TD Ryan2 316]

I'm pretty stunned that you would not know this

[supermike80 2,082]

Kidding? One of the best opening lines to ANY SONG EVER!!!

[edjr 6,898]

I'm pretty stunned that you would not know this

 

I only started really paying attention to what lyrics meant to songs when I turned 40, no shtting

[frank 2,345]

I'm pretty stunned that you would not know this

Seriously. That is one of the more obvious songs. The lyrics are easy to understand and there is an easy to follow story.

[Thornton Melon 648]

Exactly.

 

It's also one of the sh!ttiest songs of all time

[frank 2,345]

Well, there's that.

[giraldi02 476]

My wife doesn't understand why I hate this song after reading the lyrics. I told her, it's about two cheating bastards.

Maybe I should start eyeing those classifieds.....

[parrot 789]

It was my own lovely lady,

 

[rholio 339]

You guys are missing it... Bunny sobered up long enough to understand shitty song lyrics. This is big!

[parrot 789]

Btw, when Carly says "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you", the song really is about him. HTH.

[TD Ryan2 316]

hey... now I'm gonna' really bend your head... that Gordon Lightfoot song... it ain't about a guy named Eddie Fitzgerald... it's about a BOAT!

A Yuge Boat that sinks... ready for it....

 

 

 

on a LAKE!

 

BAM!!!!!

[edjr 6,898]

It was my own lovely lady,

 

 

Bruce Jenner singing to himself?

[TD Ryan2 316]

Btw, when Carly says "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you", the song really is about him. HTH.

 

see... as a kid I'd hear it and wonder... "is this song about me"...

 

also always bent my head when Dad drove by the "No Passing" sign... as a kid, I was like, "we just passed it"... the focking guy passed EVERY "no passing" sign.

I still do that!

[parrot 789]

In Paradise by the Dashboard Light, the baseball play-by-play is symbolic of sexual stuff they are doing. No need to thank me.

 

I still don't know what Meatloaf wouldn't do for love though.

[TD Ryan2 316]

 

I still do that!

Brotha'

 

for real... when I was elementary school age.. in the car, read the sign... and was COMPLETELY puzzled... "No Passing"... WTF!!! WE JUST PASSED IT!!!

[parrot 789]

I always slap my kids on the forehead when there's a "Stop Ahead" sign. Never fails to get a laugh... out of me. The little bastards just don't learn.

"Falling Rocks"... OK, thanks... so... you're just letting me know that a boulder could come down and kill us any moment, but the road is open anyways?

[TD Ryan2 316]

also, to stay on topic, betcha' didn't know the Marilyn Monroe was a LOT like a candle in the wind... according to one Royally, Gay, British, Pop Legend...

[parrot 789]

I think this Luka kid might be being abused.

[parrot 789]

Lola is a dude.

[TheNewGirl 1,637]

Good song.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,543]

Most annoying line ever in a song

 

He can throw that speedball by you. It's like if you've never played or even watched baseball don't have some stupid nonsensical lyric in it

[rholio 339]

I think this Luka kid might be being abused.

I think I've seen him before.

[parrot 789]

2nd floor?

[parrot 789]

Bruce Willis is dead.

[TheNewGirl 1,637]

 

2nd floor?

Did you hear something late at night?

Some kind of trouble? Some kind of fight?

 

Don't ask him what it was.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,543]

you all now I can't get luka out of my head

[parrot 789]

###### you all now I can't get luka out of my head

My work here is done.

[the s is ilent 69]

They need to throw pina coladas and champagne in each others face and go drown themselves in the ocean.

[rholio 339]

My work here is done.

Acreed.

It really is unbelievabe that any red blooded American would support this song in any way, based on that one word

 

And how about Mellencamp signing " I cannot forget from where it is that I come from".

 

Morons.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,911]

Think I'm going to the well tonight, gonna drink till I get my fill. And I hope when I get older I don't sit around thinking about them, but I probably will. Great song.

yah its not like Fastball wouldn't have worked equally as well lyrically in the song, and not sounded so lame

That's what they called it in 1960's New Jersey. Lighten up. Great song.
