12 Most Ridiculous Similes in Music History
cracked.com — a simile is a comparison of two things using "like" or "as." Cracked offers the following lesson in similes —and how not to use them—as a community service, because we wish to make up for these shameful failures of our education system, and because "community service" is the part of our plea bargain that keeps us out of jail.

- CrackedEditor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15We're assuming you're referring to the "Revved up like a deuce/douche" line. Yeah, it's actually deuce, a reference to a '32 Ford Deuce Coup.
And in case you're wondering why the song is centered on a mind bogglingly obscure automotive reference, it's because Blinded by the Light was originally written by Bruce Springsteen. You can find out loads of other interesting Blinded by the Light trivia at this site we frequent called Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinded_by_the_Light. (Those are really the only two interesting facts about the song, but you know, in case you think we're lying.)- number9ine, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8How many people did it take to write this comment?
- emindaer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6We were wondering the same thing.
- ceralor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I'm wondering why Cracked picked a random number like 12. OH RIGHT. Cause they can only come up with 12. PLEASE PLEASE list-making folks, pick 10, 15, 20, or anything like that. Or just quit submitting lists altogether. If they're gonna pick on Iris, then something's seriously wrong.
- MrBabyMan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1One could almost say the same thing about anyone *defending* Iris.
- emindaer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6We were wondering the same thing.
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2A deuce coupe isn't exactly mind bogglingly obscure. "Little Deuce Coupe" by the Beach Boys comes to mind.
- AxeSwinger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Maybe it is for the demographic that reads cracked.com.

- ceralor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I take serious issue with this list. Many, in fact almost all, of the lyrics supplied are meant to be poetic or understood for their meaning, not how realistic they are. Ironic's lyric they made an example of doesn't make literal sense, but you understand the meaning, right? Who cares, then, whether it makes literal sense? It's poetic.
- adamruth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I take serious issue with your comment. Many, if fact almost all, of the articles on Cracked.com are meant to be satiric or enjoyed for their humour, not how accurate they are.
- beanfeast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Perhaps he was talking about "Eyes of Nostrodomis"....
"Man, your time is sand, your ways are lives upon the sea, I am the eyes are Nostrodomis, all your ways are known to me."
Hmmm, makes no sense either

- timusca, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16I suppose "Our love is like midgets, pinned down and abused for being strange." would sound better?
- spudnic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"You're just like a pill Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill" - Pink, Just Like a Pill
So basically not at all like a pill then. - libertao, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I love Live so I always wanted that to make sense, but alas...
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Careful. Once you wander into Live-land, you'll be scooping up stupid lyrics like doody at a dog parade. (I can do it too!)
- NgrHader, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That song is still amazing
- disabled4diggin, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3I'd say Ozzy has one of the most ridiculous smiles in music history. Its creepy!

- boejangles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Here, Im looking to see 13 horrible cheesy grins. and thought this should be interesting.. and then see over analyzed commentary on music lyrics. Camon... you have a problem with "10,000 spoons...."? Think outside the box cracked.com... think outside the box.
- kalsey, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1"I love you like a fat kid loves cake" - 50 cent (21 questions)
I'm ashamed to know that by heart, but its one of those things you just can't forget.- iceschade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Don't give 50 cent credit for that line - it's been around for ages.
- DrummerAndrew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You don't get it. These are BAD similes. Love you like a fat kid loves cake is a clear and concise simile.
- libertao, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That's not ridiculous, fat kids really do love cake. A lot.
- zengonzo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Who the hell doesn't love cake?!
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Does any woman want to be loved in the precise manner that a fat kid loves cake? I mean, I know my lady likes to be eaten, but not THAT way.
- meggygrl112, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0beat me to it.
- Lewisham, on 10/10/2007, -10/+4This article loses for not having 50 Cent's "I love you like a fat kid loves cake."
- SATURN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+450 Cent is not worth mentioning in anything relating to "Music History"
- iceschade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Again, 50 cent didn't come up with that simile. It's been around for ages.
- bmfiii, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2plus it's not too ridiculous...
fat kids do love cake, a lot.
- bdawg95, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Heh heh. I thought it said smiles. So sad.

WTF? if you look closely, they're horribly disfigured... - Pie4Weebl, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4As much as I hate "top whatever" lists this one made me smile a few times.
- neuropsychguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Or did it make you simile?
OK, bad word play. - Poofay, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Is it that you hate them, or hate the fact that you can't stop reading them?
bleh, thank you oh glorious comment system. - Poofay, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Is it that you hate them, or hate the fact that you can't stop reading them?
- neuropsychguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Or did it make you simile?
- shadowmoose, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4This guy just seems like he wants to bitch about nothing important and have people listen, I really expected more from this anyways. For instance its lyrics, not "They drifted across the lake exactly like a bowling ball wouldn't," or even "He stood as tall as a 6 foot tree" Buried for inaccurate title.
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Sorry that Cracked disappointed you in your search for literary enlightenment, but maybe, just maybe, did you go into this thing with unrealistic expectations?
- Homoomo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Shut up hierophatass. This was a terrible article that did bitch about a lot of stuff that didnt matter. why is the the Atlantic ocean called that? it has nothing to do with Atlanta. why is Iceland called that? it has nothing to do with ice. why is it called cracked.com? it has nothing to do with cocaine and it hasn't cracked a safe. thats all that web site is full of and digg usually has better articles than that.
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Wow, very sad attempt at insulting me (if we're going to play the "make fun of your name" game, you really dealt yourself a poor hand; that's too easy to touch) and at criticizing the article.
- Homoomo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1My name is an inside joke make fun of it all you want, its funny to me. and i criticized the article the same way the article criticized those songs so you just crammed your own foot pretty far in your mouth
- heynoop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3children can we please calm down
this is digg, not youtube
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Wow, very sad attempt at insulting me (if we're going to play the "make fun of your name" game, you really dealt yourself a poor hand; that's too easy to touch) and at criticizing the article.
- Mongoose, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Lupe Fiasco has some bad ones too.
- theficus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Dugg for the observation of Like A Rock: "[B]ut toward the end of "Like A Rock" he somehow confuses the typical rocks he references throughout his song with much more proactive and much less rock-like stones that, evidently, sprint out of gates in certain circumstances."
- dime, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2"Switching gears and moving on to the awful simile at the end of the song's rap verse, you're "serious as cancer"? Really? We know that you're trying to make a point, but that's pretty ***** serious. Probably a little too serious, in fact, for your ridiculous metaphor about rhythm being a dancer."
i giggled.- fraew, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0isn't the 'serious as cancer' line a reference to eric b and rakim's 'i ain't no joke' line?
- Wartyboskfapped, on 10/10/2007, -6/+8I'm getting tired of Cracked.com submissions. They're not funny, they're forced. People are submitting them because it's easy. These are not worthy front page articles, IMHO.
- JesperL, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2Yes, you are getting tired of Cracked.com submissions, but the submission is still on the front page, insinuating that there are others who enjoy them. Your opinion will not make any difference.
- psiphre, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0then bury it
- Ventolin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No one really cares about the top 12 smilies in music. Most people just have an urge to see a top xx list. Regardless, I agree with you, Warty.
- frazw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well I agree this one was really laboured. They seem to have deliberately misunderstood some of those to try to get a laugh. Particularly the ones involving rocks.
- beanfeast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I laughed repeatedly. Suggestion: hit the tech button. It'll filter out anything you aren't interested in.
I've loved every Cracked submission they've had thus far. You're probably the same boor who repeatedly talks about how the Simpsons should be taken off the air because they're no longer up to your standards.
- alperea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Bloodhound Gang takes em all but they do it on purpose.
boom lyrics:
Sneaking up like celery yeah I'm stalking
I squeak like Stephen Hawkings yeah but I'm walkin'
....
Screaming like a Mimi when you see me coming near you
Like a Kenny Loggins' record no one's ever gonna to hear you
Like a game of hide and seek it's all over if I see ya
Cause your yellower than tinkle and you'll be running like diarrhea- UglieJosh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Bloodhoung Gang lyrics can seem almost genius in some of the oddest ways sometimes. Please tell me I'm not the only one that sees some brilliance in these lyrics to the song "Mope" :
Nowhere to go I can't wake up late
Just sit around and wait for my Old Spice to activate
Stalemate jailbait in "My So-Called Life" imprisonment
Amazing what a good breakfast pickles make isn't it?
I like to pretend I'm speed reading
Never lose sight of the thrill of sneezing
Don't need a shower today just some Brut by Faberge
Smell the ass of my jeans, clean, they'll do another day
And I recycle... I sniff my own farts
I dial the wrong number hope a conversation starts
I mean I might as well be listenin' to Journey
Givin' myself a mullet hook the Flowbee to the Kirby
Make a prank call pretendin' I'm a mime
Get stuck in traffic just to pass the time
Sent a letter in in Braille to Johnny Quest
Send me back my Etch-A-Sketch - grapfx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1But the best thing about the song you quote is the first part by the one and only Rob Van Winkle:
Stop as I drop this bomb,
Gonna blow it up like another Vietnam
Heavy like a Tyson blow to the dome
back up some, give me room, give me room.
but the best line by Mr. Van Winkle
Gonna sneak up on ya like a sniper at your back door.

- lava, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24This one's interesting though:
"I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away/I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is"
Isn't it possible that the two sentences are two different thoughts? Where is the rule that similes HAVE to apply to the sentence after them?- oMeSSiaHo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1I hate to listen to that song at least once a day at work and it makes no sense. Both sentences are sung in the same line of music so I assume they are supposed to be connected.
- underthelinux, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Its a poetic license really. Consecutive lyrics don't need to be associated with each other. The simile there is the first sentence. So Cracked.com loses there.
- asskicker32, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I hate cracked.com
- BOFH2, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2I miss you like a child misses it's blanket. WTH - So you miss him like you miss an inanimate objec that in the grand scheme of things is fleeting and not important?

- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Look at all of Bjorks, and all of Shakira's songs, and then make a new list.
- simX, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Good lord this is so lame. Let me count the inaccuracies.
#12: "When everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you're alive." i.e.: When everything feels like it's fake and scripted and acted, pain is the only way to convince yourself that you're not an actor, too.
#9: "Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song/Every rose has its thorn." I think this is obvious that "cowboy" doesn't necessarily mean cowboy in the traditional sense, but cowboy as in country singer, in which case the simile holds true.
#7: "Cause she looks like a flower but she stings like a bee/Like every girl in history." They're really reaching when they pick on this simile. It's a bitter sentiment that might be held by people who've only had bad experiences with women. For a specific person, it's possible that every girl looks good on the surface but is actually not all she's cracked up to be when you really know her.
#6: "I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away/I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is." As a previous commenter said, the simile doesn't necessarily apply to the subsequent line.
#4: "My mama loves me ... she loves me like a rock." Are you kidding me? You seriously read into this that either she treats her rocks like children or her children like rocks? Perhaps the rock is referring to the "mama", in which case the simile makes perfect sense because the mom loves her children no matter what happens or what they do -- no actions or evidence will stop her from loving them.
#2: "It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife … And isn't it ironic ... don't you think?" Disregarding the snipe about her being able to discern irony, this simile is somehow invalid because it's implausible? And yet they didn't seem to use that line of reasoning on the "I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away" simile. Lame.
This lame story is buried as inaccurate. They could have at least attempted to find worse similes, like the one in "Throwing Copper" as another commenter mentioned.- wingo123, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6 Way to stick it to that 'Cracked' article, Captain Bringdown. You showed them. Are you the guy at stand-up comedy shows with a frown and your arms crossed who has to explain to everybody in great detail after the show how 'not funny' the guy was?
It's Cracked, for christsakes. Not a high school English class assignment. Lighten up. If you're so concerned, go write your own humor blog and show us all what real funny is.- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0LOL. Exactly. I think we all know there was some deliberate misreading here, but who cares, and why? What do you expect from Cracked? You can always switch to MAD. I hear they have a whole fact-checking department and a team of editors whose job is to prevent any possible comedic misunderstanding.
- heynoop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I thought the same things when reading the article. It wasn't funny, and the author was really reaching. There were only a few on the list that I could relate to, the rest just had me wondering what the ***** the author wass babbling about...
and wingo, don't be so butt hurt next time someone insults your favorite super awesome web site. accept the fact that people have different opinions

- bovious, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Not really a simile, more a tautology, from Eddie Money:
"I got a hunger...it's a hunger." - ganzhimself, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Incubus- I Wish You Were Here has the most retarded simile ever... "The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket"
- floatingpoints, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"The ocean looks like a big hole filled with water in which you can swim, girl."
That would be a great lyric.

WORD. - Ventolin, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2I really wonder who writes this crap. The content alone is laughable, but have you ever sat down and seriously wondered what the worst, or even the best similes in music are? Who gives a flying *****?! Get some better lists together, cracked. And shame on you Digg, for encouraging this mess.
- strum40, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1The verses and chorus are one simile that makes no sense.
"The Energy" by unsuccesful nu-metal band Audiovent.
Every now and then I think about you
And it makes me, it breaks me
Out of you and into me, I'll make it
So take a look at what you do to my head
When you're leaving, I'm breathing
Out of me and into you, I feel sick
I feel sick
Now that you're leaving
It complicates our lives
But I am the reason
That I will stay alive
We are the energy
We are the same as you
Take everything you need
We are the answer to
The broken, breaking through
Take everything from me
What does a group of people being the energy have to do with someone leaving? - Mononuclear, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Most of these similes make perfect sense the writer of the article is just too stupid to get the meaning.
"When everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you're alive". When life is so unreal that it seems like a movie you cut yourself or bleed to know to make sure it's real.Kind of like pinching yourself to know if you are dreaming or not but this is more emo..
I could go on and explain every single simile on here but I won't. Whoever wrote this list is trying to take a song and take it word for word literally. I'd like to see you do the same with any famous poet or other written work of art.
This list isn't funny, it isn't clever, it just shows how ignorant the writer is about language and art. - dorianh49, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Wait a minute. Let's count all the stupid similies in "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette. There HAS to be at least 12 in there.
"Like a free ride when you've already paid?" "It's like 10,000 spoons when all I need is a knife?" Puhleese.- MedHead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I still don't get why that song is always picked on.

- Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"When everything feels like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know you're alive"
The Goo-Goo Dolls were doing one of the things I hate most about songs written for soundtracks: They were singing the plot of the movie "City of Angels." The offending line refers to the main character (an angel) "cutting" himself. It's a lame-ass song that became popular because of a crappy chick flick. This simile is just among its lesser offenses. - rhesuspieces00, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I know burgers are good
