Worst advice from a popular song

[Enraged_Ape]

You know, those songs that feature advice from a dying/living mother/father figure? I have to nominate "The Gambler" by Kenneth Rogers. Try to top this helpful "advice" regarding poker.

You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done

2. Everybody Wang Chung Tonight

3. Built To Spill already covered this subject

You were wrong when you said

Everything's gonna be alright

You were right when you said,

"All that glitters isn't gold"

You were right when you said,

"All we are is dust in the wind"

You were right when you said,

"We're all just bricks in the wall"

And when you said, "Manic depression's a frustrated mess"


You were right when you said,

"You can't always get what you want"

You were right when you said,

"It's a hard rain's gonna fall"

You were right when you said,

"We're still running against the wind"

"Life goes on after the thrill of living is gone"

You were right when you said

"This is the end"

Do you ever think about it?

4. La-La-La-La-La-La Live for Today

5. how 'bout this feminist advice

Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, ’cause
You won’t get him
Thinkin’ and a-prayin’, wishin’ and a-hopin’

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. ...Sometimes...it's hard to be a Wo-o-man....Giving all your love to

just one man...

But if you love him...oh be proud of him

And...stand BY your Man....

8. Just Slip out the back, Jack

Just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan
Don't need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free

[SpiralHawk]

12. When the pimp's in the crib ma

Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I got the rolly on my arm and I'm pouring CHANDON
And I roll the best weed cause I got it going on


I like Snoop Dogg but he's no Dear Abby.

[MsAnthropy]

14. You're having my baby

What a lovely way of sayin'
How much you love me
Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin'
What you're thinkin' of me
I can see it, face is glowin'
I can see in your eyes
I'm happy you know it

[rainy]

15. And if you can't be with the one you love,

17. Obviously

"Rape me." Nirvana.

I guess not really advice, but still...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

18. "I'm gonna make you love me

Yes, I will
Yes, I will..."

or

"Try, try,
Just a little bit harder
So I can love love love him..."

The sooner one learns that you CAN'T make someone else love you and that if you try too hard you end up as a stalker, the better.
