Sublime With Rome

Sublime combined with Rome Ramirez

A real example. Formed by the two surviving members of the band Sublime, and Rome Ramirez, a Mexican-American singer and guitarist originally from Fremont, CA. They teamed up in early 2009, intending to form a new band called Sublime, but couldn't legally use the name because original frontman Bradley Nowell (who died in '96) had trademarked the name. So they used this name instead.

"Pawn Shop"

The Repetitive Lyrics:

down there/here at the pawn shop,
its a nifty way to shop what has been told,
not entirley made of stone,
just remember that its made of flesh and bone, (x too many times!)

Why They're Repetitive:

although this song kicks ass and sublime r my fav band, this two line chorus made into a 6 minute song is quite tedious after a while and i am sure something else could have been sung to make it more varied!

Dirty Song Lyrics:

"Caress Me Down"

The Dirty Lyrics:

So she told me to come over, and I took that trip
And then she pulled out my mushroom tip,
And, when it came out, it went drip, drip, drip
I didn't know she had the G.I. Joe, kung-fu grip

Why They're Dirty:

Ummm, it's about a woman pleasuring a guy, but I think the lyrics themselves say it pretty plainly, don't you?

when I kiss Mexi, she makes me feel horny, cause I'm the type of lover with the sensitivity, when she, kiss my neck and tickle me fancy, the right kind of lover on Sunday morning.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"What I Got"

The Lyrics:

Lovin' is
Is what I got.

Why:

It should be: Loving is, it's what I've got OR ...it's what I have.

Submitted by: JC Foster

"Saw Red"

The Lyrics:

Every day I love her just a little bit more
And she loves me the same.

Why:

He needs to compare how much she loves him to something. Using "the same" without a comparison is incorrect Example: "Every day I love her just a little bit more and she loves me the same as the last time I asked her how much she loved me." It just doesn't have the same ring to it....
