Song Questions

Do you know who Bruno Mars is?  It doesn't matter what the answer to that question is.  All that matters is that you know this:

Sometimes when people place questions in songs it sounds ridiculous, and subsequently hilarious.

I only have one example of this because I'm not bothering to think of other examples.  But it's a good one.

Lately on the radio (meaning, constantly on the radio) the Bruno Mars' song Grenade has been playing.  The song is about how this guy would do anything for this girl, even though she doesn't care about him at all, blah blah blah, standard pop song stuff.

But then this line happens:

Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open? 


Just listen to the first 20 seconds, you'll get the idea

Why on earth would he just throw that question out there?!?!  "Why were they open?"  Ummm, maybe because she's a weirdo.  Also, how did you know they were open unless your eyes were also open?   Hypocritical much?  

This lyric makes me laugh every single time I hear it on the radio because it's just so ridiculous.  So thank you, Bruno Mars, for bringing humor to KISS 107.3 and the greater Siouxland area.  It is much appreciated. 

Lesson:  Do not put weirdo questions into songs you write because it will be criticized in blogs of the future.

    "The best way to listen to a Bruno Mars song is to picture him sitting on a toadstool and playing a tiny piano in the forest."
