Tongue in Cheek

Eminem - Rap God

I bully myself 'cause I make me do what I put my mind to
And I'm a million leagues above you
Ill when I speak in tongues, but it's still tongue-in-cheek, fuck you!
I'm drunk, so, Satan, take the fucking wheel

slowthai - adhd

And I said it was me 'cause I'd do it for my mates
Then the game, would they stay the same?
And it's all tongue-in-cheek, tryna sweep out the fakes
Love never felt real, the wheels won't break

Street Woman Fighter 2 (OST) - Smoke

You're not even a food for sharks, you're just a big fish
Mommy's milk is a luxury, baby eat more
Poor career, shredded with tongue in cheek
Then burn it and shake off the ashes

Eminem - My Dad's Gone Crazy

Is a genius at work, which to me isn't work
So it's easy to misinterpret it at first, ‘cause when I speak
It's tongue-in-cheek, I'd yank my fuckin' teeth
Before I'd ever bite my tongue, I'd slice my gums

KMFDM - Megalomaniac

Like a fiendish tropic virus
Spitting bile at all you whores
Razor-sharp tongue-in-cheek
Poking in your open sores

Georges Brassens - Old Léon

never, ever,
do we put them
in the Panthéon1
Old man, you have had

• 1. The Panthéon de Paris, at the top of the montagne Sainte-Geneviève; only "national heroes" can be buried there, although other "great men" may be remembered on plaques there (for example the French people recognised by the Yad Vashem memorial as "righteous among the nations" share a plque there. Brassens is suggesting (tongue in cheek) that it's a mistake not to recognise accordion players as national heroes

Piknik (Russia) - Silver Dust

If he passes you by, say that you are in luck,
To wreak havoc and blight is his craft for the ruck,
Or to juggle with words and to speak tongue in cheek:
Quasimodo's a freak, Quasimodo's a freak.

Zayn - Befour

[Intro]
I've done this before
Not like this

Nxdia - OUCH

حسه إن النهارده مش يوم عادي
متخفش خالص همسك لساني
I'm full of humor that's tongue in cheek
You take it seriously

Grand Corps Malade - Tightrope walker

That I have my place at the Olympia 1, but also in the M.J.C.'s 2
I take a step back and put on gloves when I see the sparkle and sequins.
The good people 3 feel important, to me who they cause stress, they aren't genuine.
I won't spit in the soup, I've met people who are really good,

• 1. Most likely referring to the music hall in Paris.
• 2. Could stand for 'Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture', which are somewhat like community centres in the english speaking world, from what I understand.
• 3. This is used in a bit of a tongue-in-cheek manner, and would be closer to the 19th century english 'gentle-folk'. (ie. upper class, high-society)

So!YoON! - EXIT

And you've done all goodbyes
Now all we gotta do is so clear
Tongue-in-cheek comfort and pities
I get consoled by late apologies

Suicideboys - LTE

Fuck with me, I'll probably give you somethin' free
Honeys surroundin' around me because I'm buzzin' like a fucking bumblebee
Most of my raps are fucking tongue-in-cheek
Fungus in my lungs, dungeon reeks of crumbling weed

Fifth Harmony - All in My Head

Curtains like waves closing in all around us, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dimming the lights just so that they don't blind us, ha, nah, nah
So tongue in cheek when we're laying on roses
But you're touching my skin and you're leaving me hopeless

Children of Distance - It's So Different Without You

That I even forgot to make a a fuss about it the next morning1
Because - I tell you honestly - I was scared shitless
If I never pissed you off, I would be way less fit now2
I would never say this to your face but I'm telling you off when you can't hear it

• 1. There is a wordplay here that I can not translate to English. The verb "kiverni" has many meanings. For example "kiverni a faszt" means to jerk off but "kiverni a balhét" means to make a fuss about something. Now the rapper here ends a line on "kiverni" and makes it sound like as if he's talking about forgetting to jerk off in the morning but suddenly he follows up with "a balhét" which changes the meaning to forgetting to make a fuss about her behaviour yesterday.
• 2. He implies in a tongue-in-cheek style, that their arguments tend to get physical to the point where he has to run or maybe fight and that's a form of exercise.

Aljas Kúszóbab - Uncle Simon

Uncle Simon has been the village tough guy for 60 years
Summer or winter, he goes to the pub on his ranch-bike1
The handlebar of his machine is in the shape of bull horns

• 1. "Tanya" means "ranch" or "farm" in Hungarian.
  "Tanya bájk" is a tongue-in-cheek euphemism for the very austere, cheap, ugly bicycles that old people usually use in the rural areas of Hungary.

Mary Poppins (OST) - Supercolofantalistiexplialisofical

It's supercolofantalistiexplialisofical
Even though the word itself sounds pretty idiotic
If you say it out loud, it's quite logical
Super-colo-fanta-listi-expli-ali-sofical

Ärapanija - EKRE

Young man, what you're doing at night?
Oh, tell me, young man, you ain't sleeping yet.
Because young man, when you see me in sleep then your arms are on the blanket.
Young man, do you have a naughy mind?

Eminem - Kick Off (Freestyle)

My fuckin' wiener's in a combative mood
Come and suck a mean one like it's mad at you
I speak tongue-in-cheek, what you asslicks do
'Cause you love to eat butt, it's sad but true

Irigy Hónaljmirigy - There is no job that I like

There is no job that I like
As you are getting older, with your four eyes1, you notice
What's important, you only play the guitar

• 1. Tongue-in-cheek mockery about wearing eyeglasses.

Extreme - Suzi (Wants Her All Day What?)

Losing all her sleep
Feeling very hungry
I say, got her tongue in cheek
Uh, huh
