What are the silliest, stupidest, most ridiculous pop song lyrics you have come across?

I nominate Muskrat Love, which reached number #4 on the charts as a cover by Captain and Tennille in 1976.

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
doin' the town and doin' it right
in the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug
Out in the muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny...

I wouldn't say these are terrible, but they are pretty silly.

G. Love And Special Sauce - Milk And Cereal Lyrics

Milk and Cereal
Milk and Cereal
milk and cereal
Cereal and milk

Milk and Cereal
Cereal, Cereal
Milk and Cereal
Cereal and Milk, Cereal and Milk...

I dont want my Wheaties
Give 'em to the needy
Feelin kinda greedy
I keep em for myself (X9)

No Grapenuts for grandma
(grandma eats a bran muffin)
Mom likes Special K
You cant pinch an inch (X7)
They're magically delicious
Keep your hands off my Lucky charms
(pink hearts, yellow moons,blue diamonds, green clovers)
A is for Apple J is for Jack
You step on a crack
Youll break your moama's back
Rice Krispies
Blue Berries
Ooh Boo Berry

Milk and Cereal
Milk and Cereal

Milk and Stereo

Milk and Cereal
Cereal and Milk
(Cheerio-eo-eo)

In the morning
At your table
Milk and Cereal
Snap Crackle Pop (X7)

Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs (X8)
Trix are for kids! (X11)

In the morning
At your table
(Milk and Cereal)

No Grapenuts for Grandma

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug
Out in the muskrat land

And Sammy's so skinny... Whoa, tough one to top.

But let me try with another from '76

Rick Dees' "Disco Duck"

Went to a party the other night
All the ladies were treating me right
Moving my feet to the disco beat
How in the world could I keep my seat
All of a sudden I began to change
I was on the dance floor acting strange
Flapping my arms I began to cluck
Look at me..I'm the disco duck

That one went to #1 if you can believe it.

Sing by Joe Raposo.

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.


Gah. One of the most inane pieces of drivel in the long sad history of inane pieces of drivel. *bleah!*

I also have to give a nod to Paul Anka and Odia Coates for (You're) Having My Baby, a hit in 1974.

"Whoa, the seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin'?"

Yuck!

PAUL: Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin' how much you love me
Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin' what you're thinkin' of me
I can see it, face is glowin'
I can see in your eyes, I'm happy you know it....

BOTH: That you're havin' my baby
PAUL: You're the woman I love and I love what it's doin' to ya
BOTH: Havin' my baby
PAUL: You're a woman in love and I love what's goin' through ya

PAUL: The need inside you, I see it showin'
Whoa, the seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin'?
Are you happy you know it? That you're....

BOTH: Havin' my baby

Anyway, all of his songs are like that. That's the point.

I'd nominate this little jewel from Metallica's "Frantic"

There's a Kiss song that starts out with the line:

"Got all her eggs in one basket, but she threw me a bone."

I can't find the lyrics at the moment, but they didn't get much better.

She said
"don't, don't let it go to your head
Boys like you are a dime a dozen,
Boys like you are a dime a dozen"
She said
"you're a touch overrated,
you're a lush and I hate it
but these grass stains on my knees
they won't mean a thing"

And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
(is that I'm something that you're missing)
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that...

I'd never lie to you
Unless I had to
I'll do what I got to
Unless I had to
I'll do what I got to, the truth
is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt

And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
(is that I'm something that you're missing)
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that...

Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be last chance you get to drop my name
Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be last chance you get to drop my name

If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar

Many of you are far too young to remember this one, but also from the disco era, I give you Joe Tex and "Ain't Gonna Bump No More With No Big Fat Woman."
Three nights ago
I was at a disco
Man, I wanted to bump,
I was raring to go
And this big fat woman,
bumped me on the floor
She was raring to go,
that chick was raring to go
Then she did a dip,
almost broke my hip
She was getting down,
that chick was getting down
She wanted to bump some more,
but I told her, "no!"
You done knocked me down once
You done knocked me down once

Said if you want to dance
find you a big fat man
Y'all both can get on down,
y'all both can get on down
Huh!

I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman (4x)
Lord, I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I ain't gonna bump no more with no big fat woman (3x)

Somebody take her
She's too big for me
She'll knock me down

She came over to me,
snatched me out of my seat
She wanted to get on down,
still wanted to get on down
I told her to go on
and leave me alone
I ain't getting down
You done hurt my hip once
I know what you'll doll
ain't gonna bump with you !!

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Alanis Morissette's "Ironic". Nothing she sings about is ironic, which is the greatest, and most annoying, irony of the song:

"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic ... don't you think"

No, I don't think! :rolleyes:

Whenever I think of bad lyrics, I think of the band Train. The way they write words doesn't go with the music! And, if anyone has any idea what the point of any of their songs are, let me know!

I have this theory that they just wrote words that they thought sounded good together and tried to put off some kind of image that they were SO deep that no one gets them...

In particular, I hate these lyrics from "Meet Virginia":

Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life

Pick a different word than life! Sheesh.

All I have to say is, Manfred Mann's Earth Band with
Blided by the Light

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night (X3)

Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
runner in the night(x4)

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night(x9... HOLY COW____)

Blinded by the light
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

i would like to nominate britney spears toxic not only for pure lack of lyrical value, but also because of the way she sings it and the fact that she is britney spears:

Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling

There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

-Chorus-
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under (Ohh Ohh)
With a taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

-Chorus-
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?

-Chorus- x2

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
(Spoken) I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now

jeezSacrilege!
While Manfred Manns version is crap, it only contains less than half of the verses. Bruce Springsteen wrote the song and the entirety is classic modern poetry. Here's the original-

Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands,
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band

And she was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least."
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
He got down but he never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break,
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride.
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent some dude with a calling card, he said, Do what you like, but don't do it here.
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground
Asked him which was the way back home
He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boy, you're on your own.

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon.

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night,

Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw
a gap but figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh but mama that's where the fun is

-While Manfred Mann's version may qualify as the worst recording of a good song, the song itself is genius.

Then there's this Neil Diamond ditty:
"I am," I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair

WTF? the chair? Of course it didn't hear you! It's a fucking chair! It's a piece of inanimate furniture, you moron!!

Then it get's even better:
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

Well, for a start: No I haven't heard about a frog becoming a king. Secondly, are you telling me you're a frog? King Frog? And lastly, except for a few changes it's about you? Doesn't that mean that it's not? Because you've changed it.
Hey, you know Muhammed Ali? My life is exactly like his! Except for a few changes: me being white and younger and can't box and never been World Champion, and well, pretty much everything.

Final bit:
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

Umm, sorry to bring this up Neil - there's actually no swearing there in the next line. Really, if you're going to use a line like "And I'm not a man who likes to swear", What should follow is this:
"Rolling down the stairs too drunk to fuck!"

And who can forget MacArthur Park by Richard Harris:
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
No!
Oh, no!!

Incidently, in case you don't know the song, this is the chorus to a song about a failed love-affair (as much as I can make out).
So what the fuck's a soggy cake's got to do with this, I have no idea.

It also has other really weird metaphors like:
And were pressed in love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

Richard, Richard, Richard.....Just what the Hell were you on when you wrote this!!!!!

Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

-Chorus-
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?

-Chorus- x2

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
(Spoken) I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now

Because it's Xmas:
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus,
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep,
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom fast asleep.

Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white,
Oh, what a laugh it would have been,
If Daddy had only seen,
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

As sung by lil' Jimmy Osmond. I can't think of any adjectives to describe the feeling of loathing, despise and stomach-churning nausea I feel whenever I hear this song.

Then there's this Neil Diamond ditty:
"I am," I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair

WTF? the chair? Of course it didn't hear you! It's a fucking chair! It's a piece of inanimate furniture, you moron!!

Then it get's even better:
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

Well, for a start: No I haven't heard about a frog becoming a king. Secondly, are you telling me you're a frog? King Frog? And lastly, except for a few changes it's about you? Doesn't that mean that it's not? Because you've changed it.
Hey, you know Muhammed Ali? My life is exactly like his! Except for a few changes: me being white and younger and can't box and never been World Champion, and well, pretty much everything.

Final bit:
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

Umm, sorry to bring this up Neil - there's actually no swearing there in the next line. Really, if you're going to use a line like "And I'm not a man who likes to swear", What should follow is this:
"Rolling down the stairs too drunk to fuck!"

Hey leave Neil alone!

This is MUCH worse!

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight X3

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight X3

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight

Okay, I can't really think of anything more inane than "Muskrat Love", but there are some pretty close runners-up - like everything else that the Captain and Tenille came up with, for example. But the dippy duo aside, how about "Lovin' You," by Minnie Riperton? Or "Feelings," by Morris Albert?

They aren't the worst lyrics ever, but isn't it time we got rid of the Star Spangled Banner as the national anthem? Come on,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?

O'er the ramparts?

The song is unsingable (which is why so many people mangle it) and I'll bet not 1/2 of 1% of the population knows anything beyond the first verse (On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes....).

I nominate Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land for the American national anthem. It's lyrics apply today more than they ever did,

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

Probably not the worst ever, but this song's lyrics make me go "wtf?" at least. My annotation in bold.


And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep
??? buy sleep?
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
couldn't find anything to rhyme with satellite obviously
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
What. The. Fuck?
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease
Original. I'm sure i've heard that last one before.

Chorus:
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
I suppose thats not too bad

And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
Disgusting image.
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

(chorus)

And in our waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
Yuck!!!!
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin

Ready to begin (3x)

(Chorus)

Show me how to live (4x)

Oh, there are lots of bad song lyrics. Here are the first to come to mind:

Nivana's "Smell Like Teen Spirit"
"With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial"

Yeah, they were stupid. And lots of stupid people found them contagious. And all of a sudden people started wearing flannels, and not taking showers, and not getting hair cuts, and putting somebody that wrote shitty lyrics on a pedistal.

I have to disagree with the Manfred Mann blast against "Blinded by the Light" Like someone else pointed out, and nicefully so, it was originally a Bruce Springsteen song off of his first album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., and lyrically the imagery was great. I could see though how people whould see it as a bit "much."

Some other lyrics that come to mind:

"I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man. That's what I am." Stupid.

"I want to rock and roll all night, and party every day." Kiss has to be the worst song writers ever. I think they realized that early on and decided if they didn't come up with a gimmick, nobody would like them.

"She thinks my tractor's sexy." My college roommate was a hick. I had to be tortured with crap like that every day. In fact, take any modern country singer and insert their lyrics into the Worst Song Lyric Ever equation. "She thinks my tractor's sexy"? Are you freakin' kidding me? Two words: Promotes inbreeding.

Some other examples of bad Nirvana lyrics:

"She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black"

Ugh.

"What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies"

Well, your apology for years of putting out bad music is not accepted. Sorry.

"And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun"

Oh really? You lie like you write good songs. Err...

Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail

Bell on door clanks - come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in that chair, don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see, I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-Pee pressed against my lips

I was shamed (x3)

I sense others in the room
Opey Aunt Bee, I presume
They take turns in cut me up
I died smothered in Andy's butt

I was shaved (x3)

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To hear that you're asking wherever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,
To see if they float or drown
Our favorite patient, a display of patience,
Disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars,
And leave a blanket of ash on the ground

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To know that you're asking wherever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

I miss the comfort in being sad (x3)

this is my worst song called "i'm going to spain" by the fall

I've sold my car, thrown in my job, I'm 34 years old
I think it's time I saw the world, and not Australia
I've sold my car thrown in my job I'm 34 years old
I think it's time I saw the world coz I hate the cold and rain and grey


I'm going to Spain
Cousin Norman had a real fine time last year
He said it doesn't rain
I hope I can quickly learn the language yeah
I hope I can quickly learn the language


And the factory floor presented me with some tapes of Elton John
I hope it might keep me company but I hate the goo- goo-goo-goodbyes
Coz I'm going to Spain
Cousin Norman had a real fine time last year
I hear it doesn't rain
I hope I can quickly learn the language yeah
I hope I can quickly learn the language yeah


My mother cried last Friday night
When I said that I'll be gone
She packed it up, and then cashed in her premium bonds
And I'm going to Spain
Cousin Norman had a real fine time last year
They say it doesn't rain
I hope I can quickly learn the language yeah
I hope I can quickly learn the language


I'm going to Spain
I'm going to Spain


Better rate culture there boy


I'm going to Spain
Cousin Norman had a real fine time last year
They say it doesn't rain
I hope I can quickly learn the language-eh

Do they know it's Christmas?

Sung by Bandaid.

It's Christmastime,
there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime,
we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
at Christmastime

But say a prayer,
pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard,
but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window,
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life(Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

What are the silliest, stupidest, most ridiculous pop song lyrics you have come across?

I nominate Muskrat Love, which reached number #4 on the charts as a cover by Captain and Tennille in 1976.

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
doin' the town and doin' it right
in the evenin', it's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug
Out in the muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny...

I really, really hate that song. But even that "Skyrockets in flight..." tune has nothing on this piece of shite.

BTW- Did you know that President Ford had Captain & Tenile perform THIS TUNE to the Queen of England on her visit to the US?

Now, even with the Revolution and War of 1812, that *had* to be the low point of Anglo-American relations!! ;)

lyrics: .........*puke*



You can tell the world
You never was my girl
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
Oh you can tell your friends
Just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms
Go back on to the farms
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips
To tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

Don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Oooh

You can tell your ma'
I've moved to Arkansa'
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff
Who's fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise
Tell anything you please
Myself I'm ready
No I'm not okay
Or you can tell my eye
To watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me one day

Don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Oooh

Don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Oooh

Oh!

Acne everywhere,

Ah, gotta love a spoof of a parody.

No Rain
_________

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

I like watchin' the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

and speak my point of view

But it's not sane, It's not sane

I just want some one to say to me

I'll always be there when you wake

Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

And I start to complain that there's no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

escape......escape......escape......

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

ya don't like my point of view

Although I really love the tune, the lyrics of Pearl Jam's "Yellow Ledbetter" sound as if they were randomly generated (and actually, I'm betting they probably were):

Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said ’i wanna leave it again’
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again... yeah
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm I know
I said ’i don’t know whether
I’m the boxer or the bag’
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they don’t wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I don’t want to stay...

Make me cry <guitar solo>

Ooooh I see
I don’t know there’s something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh I said I don’t, I don’t know whether I’m a boxer or the bag
Ah yeah ehh....
Can you see them
Out on the porch
But they don’t wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And I know I don’t want to stay
I don’t wanna stay (2x)
Don’t
Don’t wanna

My brethren...BEAT THIS:

I Shot the Sheriff
By Eric Clapton

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town
They’re trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff john brown always hated me;
For what I don’t know.
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "kill it before it grows."
He said, "kill it before it grows."
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down.
So I shot, I shot him down.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

Tea For Two
Words by Irving Caesar. Music by Vincent Youmans.

Picture you upon my knee,
Just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me alone.

Nobody near us to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations on weekend vacations.
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone, dear;

Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake,
For me to take for all the boys to see.

Oh, Foot Foot, where are you?

If Foot Foot didn't like to roam so well
He would still have a place to dwell

You're behind that tree

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Sax solo
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

What do I like?

Pretty much everything but country.

My favorites are Bob Dylan, Ani Difranco, Bruce Springsteen, all the way on down to Eminem, Nas, at the drive in, sparta, flogging molly, and so on.

And I'll be the first one to admit that I like some musicians/bands who have some bad lyrics.

Dylan wrote some great songs, he just never sang any of them well. His voice is waaaay too nasal. Everytime I hear Bob Dylan's voice, it makes me want to jam a pen in my ears. But then I don't want his voice to be the last thing I heard :p

Ugh.

Just FYI, "Take It Easy" was written by Jackson Browne and finished and preformed by the Eagles.. although I see your point..lol

The funniest is Weird Al's "Ugly Girl", a spoof of "Barbie Girl".

I'm an ugly girl,
My face makes you hurl,
That I have it,
I should bag it,
Acne everywhere,
Unwanted facial hair,
I'm a relation,
To Frankensteins creation

Not Weird Al's. Give him a little credit, people.

It's bad enough that these guys decided that since Neil Young wrote a song about racism, he must have been insulting all of the south. Not to mention that Skynyrd couldn't hope to possess afraction of the talent Neil Young displays.

I Wanna Be A Cowboy by Boys Don't Cry

Riding on the range,
I've got my hat - on,
I've got my boots - dusty.
I've got my saddle
On my horse.
He's called....T-t-t-t-t-trigger
Of course.

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

(woman's voice)
Riding on the chuck wagon,
Following my man.
His name is Ted,
Can you believe that?
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair.
Makes me feel quite dirty,
Though we all do sometimes

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

Looking like a hero,
Six-gun at my side,
Chewing my tobacco.
Out on the horizon,
I see a puff of smoke.
Indians on the warpath,
(Indian voice) White man speak-em with forked tongue.
Or not.

I wanna be a cowboy
and you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

My name is Ted,
And one day I'll be dead yo yo.

Actually, Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd had actually considered collaborating on several occasions and, after the breakup of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Young performed "Sweet Home Alabama" on stage on rare occasions. He was reportedly a fan of the song... There was sort of a feud between them, but it wasn't anything serious. :)

And, well... Anything by the Leningrad Cowboys has to be the worst lyrics ever. Their songs suck so much that they're the best band ever. :D Take these, for exemple...

=======
Galina
Galina, a hard working boatman
But her husband, he was just too poor
Galina, got fed up with the hard life
So she nailed him to the bedroom floor

Down and out she sailed into the mist
Showing hairy breasts, and a giant fist
Watch out you lousy men,
cause now she's really pissed

Galina, she is a crazy boatman
Her daughters, they are crazy too
Together, they sail across the ocean
They are searching for love and new tattoos

Up and down the coast they are raping men
Plundering the villages, and raping again
Spitting on the women, and stealing all they can

Galina the pirate of the Baltic sea
Scaring the sailors away
Galina the mistress of misery
Turning the blue skies to grey
=======

=======
Ulan Bator Girls
Stuck in a rocket over Mongolia
What are we doing up here?
When we could be in Ulan Bator dancing and drinking beer!

Grande Fiesta! Grande Fiesta!
Señoritas!
And a silver moon!
Ulan Bator girls!
Ulan Bator girls!

There's only one thing on earth I miss, oh, I want it so:
Ruby red lips, and a hot kiss. To Ulan Bator, hey let's go!
=======

=======
Little Green Men
It was a nice cosmic afternoon
Me and my babe behind the moon
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Looked so fine, felt so good
Kama Sutra's understood
But then happened a strange rendezvous

Something's knockin' at my sputnik's door
A little green man who wants to score
Little Green Men! (push the flush!) (3x)

He checks her out, then comes near
He feels her up, touching everywhere
I grab my pants, this is sick
More green men, all named Dick
Alien choir singing voulez vous
=======

=======
Space Tractor
Eighteen years ago I saw an UFO
And saddled up my tractor for a cosmic caravan
I followed it through space and found this distant place
Where everything is perfect for alien and a man

We're carefree and easy and light years from home
Why don't you lose that frown and let your hair down
Come on let's link together in zero gravity

I was born in Moscow baby
You could maybe be my girl
Ride my tractor all night long
And everyone will sing our song

(example lyrics... song called Rock Show, edited for content)

Rock show
You came to see a rock show
A big gigantic **** show
You came to see it all
Rock show
You came to hear it
You came to sneer it
You came to do it all

Do you wanna get it for credit?
Forget it
Don’t bet it
Call in the medic
It's pathetic
You’ve gotta let it go

Let's go
Rock show
C'mon

Rock show
You came to see a rock show
This ain't a ******* talk show
You came to see it all
Rock show
You came to fear it
You came to sear it
You came to do it all

Do you wanna get it for credit?
Forget it
Don’t bet it
Call in the medic
It's pathetic
You’ve gotta let it go

Do you wanna get it for credit?
Forget it
Don’t bet it
Call in the medic
It's pathetic
You’ve gotta let it go

My brethren...BEAT THIS:

I Shot the Sheriff
By Eric Clapton

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town
They’re trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff john brown always hated me;
For what I don’t know.
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "kill it before it grows."
He said, "kill it before it grows."
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down.
So I shot, I shot him down.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

That is a hella good song! heheh. x:

And who can forget MacArthur Park by Richard Harris:
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
No!
Oh, no!!

Incidently, in case you don't know the song, this is the chorus to a song about a failed love-affair (as much as I can make out).
So what the fuck's a soggy cake's got to do with this, I have no idea.

It also has other really weird metaphors like:
And were pressed in love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

Richard, Richard, Richard.....Just what the Hell were you on when you wrote this!!!!!

I knew this would make the list, and I was all ready to add it myself when I saw that it took 3 pages to get posted. Limp Bizkit is worse than this?! C'mon, this is a timeless kind of bad...the kind that a person listens to years later, and regardless of the musical style, regardless of knowing nothing about it or its author, just listening to the lyrics, thinks, "Really...what the f-ck?!" This has got to be the worst metaphor ever put into lyrical verse. Now that I live in CA, I vow that I will go up to San Fran, find Macarthur Park, and leave a cake of some kind out in adverse weather conditions solely so I can lend some kind of rationality (or something) to this poor excuse for a song.

I nominate the song that has been stuck in my head since Christmas Eve.

We Built This City- Sharship

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Say you don't know me, or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
police have got the chokehold, and we just lost the beat!

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wreaking ball into our guitars
Don't tell us you need us, 'cos we're just simple fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
on another gorgeous sunny Saturday and I'm seeing bumper to bumper traffic.

Don't you remember (remember)

(Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, don't you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Chorus:
We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Why nominate a song meant to be funny on a thread about bad lyrics? I mean, yeah, it's funny (a family favorite as I was growing up), but the best kind of bad lyrics are the ones where the author is gravely serious about the subject...which is why bad goth poetry is such a riot.

or, "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd:

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar.

And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?

And I say: HEY! yeah yeaaah, HEY yeah yea
I said hey, what's going on?

And I say: HEY! yeah yeaaah, HEY yeah yea
I said hey, what's going on?

ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh

and I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution

And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution.

And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs

To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair

WTF? the chair? Of course it didn't hear you! It's a fucking chair! It's a piece of inanimate furniture, you moron!!

Then it get's even better:
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one

Well, for a start: No I haven't heard about a frog becoming a king. Secondly, are you telling me you're a frog? King Frog? And lastly, except for a few changes it's about you? Doesn't that mean that it's not? Because you've changed it.
Hey, you know Muhammed Ali? My life is exactly like his! Except for a few changes: me being white and younger and can't box and never been World Champion, and well, pretty much everything.

Final bit:
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

Umm, sorry to bring this up Neil - there's actually no swearing there in the next line. Really, if you're going to use a line like "And I'm not a man who likes to swear", What should follow is this:
"Rolling down the stairs too drunk to fuck!"


That is certainly the funniest damn thing I've read all night and I now have to go wipe away my tears... thanks.

My vote goes for Turn by Travis, the most insipid piece of crap by the most insipid band to bizarrely dominate the UK charts in recent history.

I want to see what people saw
I want to feel like I felt before
I like to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever young
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn, learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky
And what's the moon?
A big balloon
We'll never know
Unless we grow
There's so much world
Outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live
In a world where I'll be strong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn, learn
We've got to turn
We've got to turn
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Learn to turn
Tuuuuuuuurrrrrrrnnnnn

For fucks sake guys, if you can't think of lyrics just add another melody, don't keep reteating the same sodding word until it bores into your head like a boll weevil (and, no, learn does not count as an interesting variation on turn).

I can't believe this has made it to page 3 without mention of this gem:



Yummy, Yummy, Yummy

Lead Singer: Joey Levine
1968

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I got love in my tummy
And I feel like a-lovin you
Love, you're such a sweet thing
Good enough to eat thing
And it's just a-what I'm gonna do

Ooh love to hold ya

Sweeter than sugar

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I got love in my tummy
And as silly as it may seem
The lovin' that you re giving

And your love is like peaches and cream

Kind-a like, like what you do
Kind-a sounds funny
But your love honey
And honey, I love you

Ba, da, ba, da, da , da, da
Ba, da, da, da, da, da . . .

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I got love in my tummy

Hey man don't you insult Metallica. For they are awesome.

St. Anger and everything on it was shit (maybe one or two exceptions that are mediocre). Frantic gets on my no.10 easily.

"My lifestyle determines my deathstyle...Frantic tick tick tick tick tock!"

Yeah, brilliant.

And how about the Name Game by Shirley Ellis?

The Name Game Lyrics

The Name Game
Shirley Ellis
The name game!
Shirley!
Shirley, Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo Firley
Fee fy mo Mirley, Shirley!
Lincoln!
Lincoln, Lincoln bo Bincoln Bonana fanna fo Fincoln
Fee fy mo Mincoln, Lincoln!
Come on everybody!
I say now let's play a game
I betcha I can make a rhyme out of anybody's name
The first letter of the name, I treat it like it wasn't there
But a B or an F or an M will appear
And then I say bo add a B then I say the name and Bonana fanna and a
fo
And then I say the name again with an F very plain
and a fee fy and a mo
And then I say the name again with an M this time
and there isn't any name that I can't rhyme
Arnold!
Arnold, Arnold bo Barnold Bonana fanna fo Farnold
Fee fy mo Marnold Arnold!
But if the first two letters are ever the same,
I drop them both and say the name like
Bob, Bob drop the B's Bo ob
For Fred, Fred drop the F's Fo red
For Mary, Mary drop the M's Mo ary
That's the only rule that is contrary.
Okay? Now say Bo: Bo
Now Tony with a B: Bony
Then Bonana fanna fo: bonana fanna fo
Then you say the name again with an F very plain: Fony
Then a fee fy and a mo: fee fy mo
Then you say the name again with an M this time: Mony
And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme
Every body do Tony!
Pretty good, let's do Billy!
Very good, let's do Marsha!
A little trick with Nick!
The name game

And no jokes about Bart and Chuck. :p

This is the worst song on the planet earth, even worse than anything Neil Diamond has done, even his Christmas Special. I can't think of this song without wanting to throw up.


Seasons in the Sun



Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach

First off, y'all are dumb for not knowing that I Shot the Sherrif is a Bob Marley song, not an Eric Clapton song.

But nothing takes the cake like Black Goat, by Barathrum


Black goat white silver horns
Sick and preverted smile on face
Virgin lies naked on the altar
Before an inverted crucifix

Goat above
Goat below

Goat above
Goat below

Chalice placed between her breasts
Some of wine spilled on her body
Wine of feast is human urine
The preverse excitements of acts of blasphemy

Vuohi yllä
Vuohi alla

(I see horny Lady copulating whit black goat)

I see horny Lady copulating with black goat
I see goat above, I see goat below
The perverse excitement of acts of blasphemy
The eerie art of jetblack cosmetics

It has to be "I drink alone" by George Thorogood for the redundancies in the chorus. When he drinks alone, he prefers to be by himself. As opposed to what, George?

I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
You know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea
Just me and good buddy Wiser,
that's all I ever need
'Cause I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping,
and I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel's,
and his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to a party,
but I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
and his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me,
and it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me,
is my dear old granddad
And we drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

This song, and then just about any set of lyrics written by Rob Zombie. I like a lot of his music, but his lyrics are really pretty painful.

"Captain Clegg" - the worst Cathedral song lyrics ever.

A tombstone reads "Captain Clegg, R.I.P."
Yet still he sails across the Phantom Seas
Such a holy man for all of you to see
The Village Vicar: - His secret Identity

...

He sailed the Phantom Seas, catered for community needs
The Village Master - Captain Clegg

And anything by the Smiths or Morissey...

Or the Cure.
