    I never liked Avril Lavigne, but I always HATED that line in that song. It’s just so idiotic.

      Why exactly? The whole line is about how you can like each someone regardless of their background or interest.

        The lines I hate are:

        He was a boy, she was a girl
        Can I make it any more obvious?

        Because it’s just bad writing. Those are the first words to the song. So can she make WHAT any more obvious? Just because their sex organs are compatible they’re obviously into each other? WTF?

          Lots of popular song have terrible lyric just to pass the rhythm check anyway. Like Yellow from Coldplay where everyone likes:

          Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
          Turn into something beautiful

          Like, excuse me what. The whole song makes no sense but it got the vibe. Sometimes the lyric is an excuse for artist to pump out nice music. Try dissect the song you liked before, chance are you gonna run into a lot of these blunder.

            I fucking hate Coldplay.

            Guess I feel vindicated because I’ve never really listened to the lyrics.

            If you don’t have good lyrics, do vocal or instrumental. Lyrics are not required.

          I always figured there was an implied [and I’m singing a song about them] before that “can I make it any more obviou?”

              Well it’s true. Watch this:

              He was a boy, he was a boy.
              Can I make it any more obvious?"

              If the lyrics was this, homophobes would be up in arms about it saying it brainwashes children into thinking the gay is normal. Truth is, the version that actually exists is brainwashing children into thinking the straight is normal, and furthermore that platonic relationships between members of opposite genders don’t exist.

        And about how judging someone in that way isn’t fair or healthy for either of you.

        The line was a juxtaposition of interests to easily characterize them. Its also very catchy as this meme would show.
