Overall Meaning

The song "Bad Bromance" by Shane Dawson is a parody of Lady Gaga's hit song "Bad Romance" in which the lyrics revolve around a problematic friendship between two male friends. The song begins with the chorus "Caught in a bad bromance," which suggests that both friends are in a toxic friendship that is slowly eroding away. The lyrics then describe the different ways in which the singer's friend is suffocating him by being too needy and clingy, treating him like a girlfriend without a “pussy,” and preventing him from finding a girlfriend or partner.


The chorus of the song reminds us of Lady Gaga's original chorus with the signature “Ra Ra Oh Ra Ra, romance, Ra Ma Ma, blah blah Oh GaGa, a bad bromance,” but with increasingly humorous lyrics. The song concludes with the singer confessing that he can't stay friends any longer, and it's time for them to part their ways.


Line by Line Meaning

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ooooohh ohh ohh ohh ohh baby
The singer is in a state of distress and despair, feeling trapped and suffocated in a toxic relationship.


Caught in a bad bromance
The singer is referring to his unhealthy relationship with his male friend, which has grown to be unmanageable and uncomfortable.


Ra Ra Oh Ra Ra
A nonsensical phrase suggesting that the singer is too overwhelmed to articulate their frustrations coherently.


Romance Ra Ma Ma
A meaningless sequence of sounds that evoke a sense of frustration or exhaustion with the situation.


Blah Blah Oh GaGa
Again, a set of nonsensical sounds intended to convey the artist's feelings of exasperation and powerlessness.


A bad bromance x2
The phrase is a play on the singer Lady Gaga's hit song 'Bad Romance', referring to the unhealthy and suffocating nature of the friendship between the singer and his male friend.


You always call me, you're always with me
The singer feels like his male friend is overly attached to him and clings on to him excessively, even when the singer needs his personal space.


You're like a girlfriend without a pussy
The artist is referring to the excessive emotional baggage, drama, and possessiveness of his male friend - all of which are stereotypical characteristics attributed to girlfriends, but absent a sexually-defined body organ.


(I need some space) OhMyGod I need some space
The artist is exasperated by his friend's constant presence and is crying out for space to breathe and exist independently, being exhausted by the toxic relationship.


When you come over you stay the whole day
The artist feels invaded by his friend's constant presence, which disrupts his personal space and regularly lasts longer than expected, leaving the artist feeling trapped.


I can't get laid 'cause people think that we're gay
The singer is affected by the social stigma attached to male friendships, that they can often be perceived as romantic relationships, which limits his ability to pursue relationships with women and bothers him.


You know that I like you, but you really annoy me
The artist acknowledges that he has fondness and affection for his friend, but at the same time, he is infuriated by his friend's excessive presence and behavior, which is not making their relationship healthy.


We gotta bad, gotta bad bromance
The singer acknowledges that there is something wrong with their relationship and that it needs to change or end to avoid becoming more toxic or harmful.


I think it's time that we stopped being friends
The singer feels that their friendship has become so harmful and dysfunctional that it is necessary to break ties and move on from each other's lives completely.


You and me, we gotta bad bromance
The phrase reiterates the toxicity and harm associated with their relationship and that it cannot continue and is diminishing the singer's life quality.


You always tweet me a lesser than 3
The artist feels drained and exasperated by his friend's affectionate and clingy behavior online, which is disrupting the artist's social media presence and privacy.


Don't want your bromance!
The phrase is definitive, and it explicitly illustrates the artist's abandonment of their friendship, the toxic bromance.
