Dirty Song Lyrics:
"More Than Words"
The Dirty Lyrics: ...how easy, it would be to show me how you feel
more than words is all you have to do to make it real then you wouldn't have to say that you love me coz I already know. Why They're Dirty: The whole song is about a guy (or a girl, I'm not going to be sexist) trying to pressurize his/her sweetheart into having sex. Listen to the words very carefully and you'll get it.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Whole Hearted"
The Lyrics: If I'm not blind, why can't I see,
A circle can't fit where a square should be? Why: Assuming the circle is the same size as the square, the circle should fit just fine. It's not often you see a geometric error, but this is a big one.
Submitted by: Mark Brown
| "More Than Words"
The Lyrics: Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you.
Its not that I want you not to say.... More than words is all you have to do to make it real.... Why: This song is a grammatical nightmare, with awful sentence structure; these are just some of the lyrics to show it. Gerund-verb agreement, subject-verb agreement, phrasing, and missing pronouns in this song are all atrocious! What were they thinking when they wrote this? Elementary students compose better sentences than this band can!

Music With a Warning Label:
"Pornograffiti"
Extreme's most successful album originally had a "Parental Advisory" sticker on the cover until "More Than Words" became a hit. Then it was removed from future printings. Actually, the only thing obscene about the album was its title.
