did i really hear this right?

The lyrics for the Nickelback song "Rockstar"

Let me begin by saying that it's really not usually in my nature to bash anyone. Especially someone that is making or creating something like art, music, poetry, ect. But this is too funny to me.

I was in my car, and i heard this song. I swear to you, I thought I could take off my seatbelt, floor the gas pedal, and aim for the nearest gas pump. I thought in a very clear and concise manner that a fireball gaspump explosion might exfoliate this song from my being much better than just turning the station might.

Am i dead? I hear Pearl Jam...

I was looking for the lyrics and found this!

That's too funny!

I was going to paste the lyrics here, but I couldnt bring myself to expose virgin eyes/ears to that trash. He even mentions Elvis in this song...it's just wrong on so many levels.

Is it country-like too, or is it just me?

For those who are unaware of said lyrics, here you go:

Nickelback Rockstar Lyrics

I'm through with standin' in line
at clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
this life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me
--(So what you need)--

I need a a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
--(Been there done that)--

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be a big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
in the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And well...

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
--(I'll have the quesadilla, ha-ha)--

I'm gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
we'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
in the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a Pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip --sync-- 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in Hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
in the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of
today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial, well

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Clearly he has a poor understanding of irony then.

i find it very funny kroger did an episode of cribs and was really excited to show off his bling.

The local radio station did a charity auction recently, where they sold some signed guitars from various artists.

The Nickelback guitar went for 8500 dollars.

Now I am all about people giving money to charity, but it is kind of scary that there are fans of Nickelback of all fucking people that are that rabid.

How could anyone take them that seriously?

A Surprise Left

Some of their early stuff is OK but they are just awful nowadays, every single is the same as the last one.
