Pet Peeves
Post date:
Liner Notes:
The idea of a family member making noise with her teeth after eating, really irritated me and distracted me from writing something, yet the TV on and loud enough for me to hear didn't phase me in the least. Go figure. So, the idea of little irritants or pet peeves mushroomed into a song idea. I think we all have them if we're honest.
Lyrics:
Pet Peeves
If you chew like a horse
If you slurp drinks with force
You'll turn my mind volcanic red
Should you bite off your nails
Should you brag about your own tales
Then there are moments with you I will dread
I got pet peeves baby
Here what I say
It may be small to some
But it's there in my way
Pet peeves, pet peeves
Yes, it's true
Heck, we've all got something
How bout you?
Do you blast your boom box?
Think you're sly as a fox?
Oh I'll try hard not to blow my top
Are you chronically late?
Do you like to tongue lick your plate?
Are you some one who will always flip flop?
I got pet peeves baby
Here what I say
It may be small to some
But it's there in my way
Pet peeves, pet peeves
Yes, it's true
Heck, we've all got something
How bout you?
I do have a soft spot
Don't like to complain
But those things that bug me
Can drive me insane
I got pet peeves baby
Here what I say
It may be small to some
But it's there in my way
Pet peeves, pet peeves
Yes, it's true
Heck, we've all got something
How bout you?

You are so right! What an original idea for a song. 'Slurp drinks with force' lets us know what you are up against.
We all got pet peeves and yours made a great song!
id like to do this as a street hawker, buying and selling peeves, recorded with a lot of street noise mixed in. how about? it?
I love this theme. My husband comments on my coffee sipping every morning. I tell him it is 'hot', and ignore that it bugs him -lol. Yes, we all have pet peeves and it the perfect subject for a song. I love the ones you chose to include. This is so amusing and so relatable. I can't wait to hear it as a song!
This flows along very nicely, with a real bounce in its step. I think we can all relate, whatever our particular pet peeve might be
