I really hate clunky similes in songs. When they say something is like something else just because it rhymes. Is that a simile? The best example I can think of (which to be fair is actually quite good) is Snaps I'm serious as cancer when I say that rhythm is a dancer. Which I enjoy even though it's obviously overkill. How serious are you about the premise that rhythm is a dancer (whatever that even means)? CANCER. Ok dude, I mean - chill out a bit. If you want rhythm to be a dancer it can be a dancer. No need to invoke such a potentially serious condition. You don't get...... Janet Jackson rhyming rhythm nation with decapitation. Or Jamiroqui rhyming emergency on planet earth with I'm sorry to tell you there's been a problem with the birth.

@TheBreadmonkey thinking about somng doctoring this, what if they said instead
This club is like a furnace
Parents, keep active life insurance
I mean unless they still want the song to still be about dancing instead of broaching the topic of the audience's collective mortality
