Just copied from Something Awful, but it seemed a pretty cool idea despite that.  I had a search and couldn't find anything simiiar, but sorry if this is a repeat.  The topic pretty much says it all: Sum up an entire song's lyrics with a single sentence

Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot : British city centres are full of drunken idiots.

Le Tigre - What's yr take on Cassavetes : I saw both The Killing of A Chinese Bookie and A Woman Under the Influence but dunno if I actually like them or not.

The Kinks - David Watts : Ray Davies is still bitter about High School.

The Undertones - Teenage Kicks : Masturbation is great.

Semisonic - Get a Grip : No, seriously, masturbation is great.

Spoon - Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine : The play's the thing.

The Wombats - Moving to New York : This boy needs therapy.

The Indelicates - Julia We Don't Live in the Sixties Anymore : Idealism is dead, I guess.

Cassetteboy - Why Brother : Cassetteboy really, really enjoys reality TV

Anything by My Chemical Romance: Wah, wah, wah.
Anything played live by Metallica in the last ten years: Wah, wah, wah. Oh sorry you said the lyrics, not the guitar work.

A Silver Mt. Zion - Goodbye, Desolate Railyard - So these railroad tracks that we used to hang out by got torn up, and we're pretty bummed about it, so here's the most depressing music we could write at the time.

Pig Destroyer - Fourth Degree Burns - I really like this girl, but I'm in a grindcore band so I have to write a love song using violent metaphors.

The Mars Volta - (anything) - Eh, we just make this shit up as we go along.

Woah, way to diss the entire Icelandic language. Only ( ) and part of Takk are in a made up language. The rest is all Icelandic. Get it right!

Anywho:
A Cautionary Song - The Decemberists: Your mother is a whore and that's the only way she can afford to feed you.
Westfall - Okkervil River: Pretty much anyone might be an evil murder.

Kanye West - Diamonds Are Forever:  Look, I read a one paragraph blurb about the Sierra Leone diamond situation!

Miranda Lambert - Gunpowder & Lead:  Murder is okay if the guy is a jerk.

John Lennon - Imagine:  Socialism would be nifty.

The Smiths - Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others:  Not all women are the same height;  they in fact vary in size and body type.

The White Stripes - Conquest:  The typical movie/sitcom situation of a guy nailing some girl then falling in love with her, and consequently being trapped in an unwanted relationship, posesses a great degree of epic grandeur.

Drive By Truckers - Sounds Better In The Song:  Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

Drive By Truckers - Ronnie & Neil:  The classic feud between Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd was, in fact, blown out of proportion, and the singers had a great deal of respect for one another.

Alan Jackson - Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning:  The Chinese use the same word for Crisis and Opportunity;  The country's crisis, is my opportunity.

Linkin Park - any song:  God it's so depressing being so rich!

Cake - Short Skirt/Long Jacket:  I would like to date a woman who is a feminist but still likes to have lots of sex.

Velvet Underground-  "Sister Ray" :  Drag queens team up with sailors for a night of heavy drug use & oral sex, resulting in a trip to the station in a squad car.


A Tribe Called Quest- "Bonita Applebaum"  :  A name that's easy to rhyme & a curvaceous body will likely fuel an MC's lust.

Blur, Song 2- "This song is in no way indicative of our actual musical style, but this song snagged us a lot of money and got play in sports stadiums"

Blur, Advert-  'Food Processors Are Great!" (I couldn't resist)

Dead Kennedys, Soup is Good Food- "Sucks about you getting laid off, but bisque has been all the rage these days!"

Lou Reed - "Walk on the Wild Side" - New York City is a human zoo and the colored girls talk funny.

Midnight Oil - "Beds are Burning" - This song is a metaphor and we're going to be aloof and let you figure it out for yourself, but the horn section still rocks even if you don't get it.

Pavement - "Cut Your Hair" - Haircuts can affect the way people treat you, and some other shit we threw in that has nothing to do with the title, but rhymes.

Pink Floyd - "One of These Days" - One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces with a bass guitar string and slide guitar.

Led Zeppelin - "The Lemon Song" - Getting head is AWESOME!

Tim Fite - "I've Been Shot" - If you're a struggling rapper, the secret is to have your friends shoot you multiple times in order to get street cred, and your album sales will increase proportionally.
