15 Cringiest Lyrics of the 2000s

I enjoy this list of interesting facts very much, and it would be a shame to waste them. Therefore I have written this introduction as if it were a book, although I know that you are not reading this. I would like to think that you are out there somewhere, but since you do not have any ears, it seems that I have wasted my time. This is a list of things which I have learned. If you want to know about something, I will be happy to tell you. I know that I do not have any ears, but that is because I was born with a condition called aural atrophy. This condition is extremely rare, and is found in fewer than one in a million people. It means that my ears never developed properly, and I am completely deaf. This means that I cannot enjoy this list of interesting facts as I am doing now, although I know that you are not listening either. I would have liked to be able to share it with you.

Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys CRACKED.COM She's just a girl/And she's on fire In case anyone wasn't sure based on the title of the song and the repeated refrain that this girl is on fire, Alicia Keys wants to make it very clear that there is a girl, and the girl is on fire. Honest- ly, we're not even mad. We just have a few more questions: Is she a girl? And is she on fire?
