Worst lyrics ever?

I nominate 'when a blind man cries' by Deep Purple. Actually, thinking about it, Bohemian Rhapsody wins hands-down. I’m just a poor boy my ass.

Life by Des'ree.
Sample verse:
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

there is a song at the begining of a short film that my husband is in about corn dogs, I can't remember most of it right now (I think I blocked it out) but part of it goes like

"I like the corndogs at the fair, fry it up and put a stick in there......it's my corn dog"

it was the worst song I have ever heard in my life, but the movie was pretty cheesy so they probably did that on purpose.

*the movie isn't about corndogs per se, but the song is. The movie does have corn dogs in it though (someone gets killed with one)

Madonna's new song 'I Love New York' is lyrically abysmal:

''I don't like cities
But I like new york
Other places make me feel like a dork''

''If you don't like my attitude
Then you can F off
Just go to Texas
Isn't that where they golf''

''New York is not for little pussies who scream
If you can't stand the heat
Then get off my street''.

Come on, how is this even a contest? Summergirls by LFO is the worst hands down. observe:


Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
Met you one summer and it all began
Your the best girl that I ever did see,
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespere wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Sumthin in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,
Left one day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home,
Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speakin
Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

In reverse, I would say that some of the Bloodhound Gang's lyrics were pure genius :cool:

''Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought,
me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about.
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts.
Yes, I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up.
You've had enough of two-hand touch, you want it rough, you're out of bounds.
I want to you smothered, want you covered, like my Waffle House hash browns.
Come quicker than Fed Ex, never reaching apex. Just like Coca-Cola stock you are
inclined to make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time''

Yeah, sounds like those teenagers in Lit class who think the only way to write a poem is to make it rhyme, even if it makes no sense.

I particularly dislike the new rendition of 'Call on me' which is just those three words repeated over and over and over and over...

What's with slagging on Queen? Did someone actually post "I'm just a poor boy, my ass"?

Are you serious? Do you really believe that whoever sings the song is directly represented by it? Therefore rich guys like Freddie Mercury no doubt was can NEVER sing "I'm just a poor boy"? You've honestly never heard of a song being its own creative statement having little if anything to do with the circumstances in the singer's own life? Do you know what that means?!?

According to The Who, there really WAS a deaf, dumb and blind Pinball Wizard.
According to his songs, Elton John wasn't gay until about fifteen years ago ("Island Girl", "Grow Some Funk of Your Own", Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", etc.).
Michael Jackson at one point liked girls instead of boys ("The Girl is Mine").
Bruce Springsteen really DID "have a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack."
Billy Joel never served in Vietnam and yet wrote in the first person for "Goodnight Saigon", one of the best songs about that event ever written.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is exactly that -- full of Bohemian imagery in the broader, eponymic sense of the word (not the strictly Czech sense of the word). In that, it's easily some of the best lyric writing in pop music history. You may not agree with me, but you simply cannot write off the lyric just because Mercury wasn't "a poor boy". Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket, that's the most asinine thing I've ever read!

I thought that was Dead Or Alive...at least it was when that song was ridiculously overplayed in the 80s:

"All I know is that to me

You spin me right round baby right round
Like a record baby right round round round..."

No, the lyrics of that song were great. Marc Bolan wrote the song as an answer to critics of glam rock.

That is definitely true. Didn't know about the specific release for that single. I did like much of the album form which it was sprung, Parklife. Was Blur's "Song No. 2" (a.k.a. "Woo-Hoo") a similar kind of party-song release? I mean shit, if NFL stadiums play it after touchdowns....

These might be the worst lyrics ever... or the best:
Jedi Mind Tricks - Beyond The Gates Of Pain

[Sean Price]
Yes, just infest, the best is I
Leave you, stretched on the sket, in Bedford-Stuy
With a, lead to eject, but I bet it's I
Did that, like a rat, you testify
Niggaz like what's the matter with Sean?
I'm like nothing, just thinkin' of a verse
That can shatter the song, foreign bitches
Know the stamina strong, 20 g's for the pictures
Stay in the country, so I married the mob
Don, thirty-two, but the game is 12
And the fifth for these funny niggaz; Dave Chappelle
When Run-DMC was fuckin' Raising Hell
I was on the run from d's, these raised in hell
Kinda broke, couldn't raise the bell
Caught by many, broke two fuckin' arms, son, engage for bail
Beat the case, got my big gauge, back as well
With rap, you can sing such amazing tales, nigga
Ya'll niggaz bust my web, heat pop
Niggaz cut ya dreads, cuz ya'll scared
Rockin' and rollin', guns and roses
Pockets is swollen, son is holding
Sean P, I'm the master of ceremony
That's blastin' at every phony ass rapper that ever know me
Niggaz act like they ready for war
Get slapped with the tool, wake up bitch, get ready for school, one

[Chorus 2X: Vinnie Paz]
We in this game for the money and the long life
Whether we battle with the gats or it's all mics
We can rumble with the bats or the long pipes
Vinnie Paz, it's a wrap, with Sean Price

[Vinnie Paz]
I'm more powerful than Gargamel, guard ya grill
And you'll be starved and killed
It's hard to build, when God revel
That you eat lard for meals
So as the saga builds, we need raw shit
We need EPMD to drop more shit
The hardcore shit, bang out, bust a gat
The '84 shit, how they now hustle crackc
We build and we destroy until the sun rock
Until we hear the sounds of the last gun shot
But I'mma ride until the wheels falls off
Til the high in these last few pills wear off
You failed with frost, pussy rap, filled and crossed
Sellin' bags of that raw shit filled with salt
I kill ya thoughts, with a nine MA eagle
Make me sick to my stomach, like ya'll gay people
I'mma slay evil, that's what Allah likes
Vinnie Paz, Jedi Mind Tricks, Sean Price

[Chorus 2X]



I never noticed the gay people thing...

Not entirely sure when Song 2 was released. I know it was 1997. A quick google reveals it was 7th April. Interestingly the USAF wanted to use it at the launch of the Stealth Bomber, but Damon Albarn refused.

I think it was more an anthemic song, especially when compared to much of their output. It's short and sweet, and right from the start it's instantly recognisable. Why 'a.k.a "Woo-Hoo"' (apart from the obvious)? Is that what it's known as in America?

God of Wind by Korpiklaani:
[sung in a very heavy Finnish accent]
Let me tell you story
Story of a man
Who wants to be a God
God of the wind
He dressed to brown
Brown leather clothes
He used a bone mace
And ate mushrooms
He live in the woods
There trees are huge
Only friends were trolls
Who were all the time drunk
He saw nightmare
There big bad bear
Ran behind him
And shout these words:

[Chorus:]
If you want to be a God of wind
You have to beat me
If you want to be a God of wind
You must take my skin
If you want to be a God of wind
You must use my nails
If you want to be a God of wind
You must be like me, must be like bear

great song, but dumb lyrics :p I get the impression it would be complete genius if it where in Finnish though. Shamanistic grunting about forests and bears and so on are what that language was made for.

Put on my yellow shirt
I get a bite to eat
I go to work

I'm the A/V guy

I'm the piano guy
Let's go to sleep

Eh, I think the problem is that all of you are assuming some sort of brilliant lyrics to come from hip hop bands and rap. I don't count them in this search for the worst lyrics ever, because they're in their own group: "Utter Shit."

And whoever mentioned Eric Prytz's "Call on Me," I love that song! All 3 words of it!

Barbie Girl actually has good lyrics, because it's social commentary on the typical blonde, idiotic slut that happily populates the media. My favorite was that Aqua got sued by Mattel for that song, giving it lots and lots of publicity.

Hmm, I want to say "Oblivion" by Eve 6. "I've been burned like a wicker cabinet." End of story. But I generally loathe songs that are too lazy to find a rhyme, and just repeat a word instead.

Or so I have read.
My baby fits me like a Flesh Tuxedo,
I'd like to sink her with my Pink Torpedo!

Big bottoms, big bottoms,
Talk about bun cakes, my girl's got 'em,
Big Bottoms drive me out of my mind,
How can I leave this Behind?"

Woo, Bloodhound Gang rock!

They must also have the most random lyrics, for Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo (Great song! :D )

''Vulcanize the whoopee stick
In the ham wallet

Cattle prod the oyster ditch
With the lap rocket

Batter dip the cranny ax
In the gut locker

Retrofit the pudding hatch
Ooh la la
With the boink swatter

If i get you in the loop when I make a point to be straight with you then
In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though
I brazillian wax poetic so hypothetically
I don't wanna beat around the bush

Foxtrot Unifrom Charlie Kilo
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo

Marinate the nether rod
In the squish mitten

Power drill the yippee bog
With the dude piston

Pressure wash the quiver bone
In the bitch wrinkle

Cannonball the fiddle cove
Ooh la la
With the pork steeple

If i get you in the loop when I make a point to be straight with you then
In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though
I brazillian wax poetic so hypothetically
I don't wanna beat around the bush

Foxtrot Unifrom Charlie Kilo
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo

Put the you know what in the you know where
Put the you know what in the you know where
Put the you know what in the you know where
Put the you know what in the you know where pronto''

Complete nonsense, but they manage to get away with the innuendo easily. :p

I was sure that they mentioned 'nintendo' in there somewhere, but maybe not...:rolleyes:

While not the worst, certainly one of the dumbest is a bit from Neil Diamond's song, "I am I said" which goes like this:
I am I said
to no one there
and no one heard
at all
not even the chair.
Neil, Neil, Neil. Of course the chair didn't hear. It's got no bloody ears! It's not alive! The desperation of a man trying to make lines rhyme, eh?

However, the worst rhyme offender that I can think of, off-hand, has to be Joan Osbourne's "if God was one of us"
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome
Just desperation there, trying to rhyme 'ome'. When I first heard it, I was certain the next line was going to be "I want an icecream cone".
Just as much thought put into the chorus too:
And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whooo...must have taken forever to come up with that chorus.

Actually, now that I'm going on about Neil Diamond, let's look at some more of lyrics.
"If You Know What I Mean"
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean
Uh, no Neil. I don't.

"Play Me"
Songs she sang to me
Songs she brang to me
Neil, it doesn't count as a rhyme if you use the same word twice, and what the hell is 'brang'? It's not even a word!

"Shilo"
Shilo, when I was young I used to call your name
When no one else would come, Shilo, you always came
And we played.
Well, duh. Why else would anyone come but the person who's name you're yelling?

"Soolaimon"
Soo Soolaimon, Soolai Soolai Soolaimon
Neil, whatever drugs you're taking, stop right now. They're totally messing with your head. They're not even words you're singing anymore! You're just making shit up.

I'm surprised no-one's said it yet, but surely the worst lyrics in creation have to go to Alanis Morrisette's song, "Ironic". Not only is it an irritating song, but none of the premises suggested in the song are ironic in the slightest.

It's like rain on your wedding day
Not ironic, just bloody annoying.
It´s like ten thousand spoons
when all you need is a knife
Not ironic, just dumb. Also who the hell has 10000 spoons? Imagine the size of their cutlery drawer.
It's like good advice you didn't take.
Not ironic, just proves you're a dumbass.


Then there's this line in her song
"Thank U"
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots ?
Ok, I'll bite. How about them? While we at it, wtf are you on about? And more importantly, whatever you're taking must be some real good shit. Can I have some?

In reverse, I would say that some of the Bloodhound Gang's lyrics were pure genius :cool:

''Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought,
me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about.
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts.
Yes, I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up.
You've had enough of two-hand touch, you want it rough, you're out of bounds.
I want to you smothered, want you covered, like my Waffle House hash browns.
Come quicker than Fed Ex, never reaching apex. Just like Coca-Cola stock you are
inclined to make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time''

What immediately comes to mind is some voice acting from the beginning of Symphony of Enchanted Lands, by Rhapsody - the words of which are extreme-cheesy enough, but the delivery...! Indescribably bad:

Oh, cruel destiny... The tears soon covered the warrior's face, and Tharos, the beloved dragon, spread his wings for the last time, happy to have found the freedom at least in death... Fly... fly high, mighty Tharos... Your name will always be remembered by the people of the Enchanted Lands... and your memory will march with us forever against the hordes of the Black Lord for the salvation of the Enchanted Lands.
Goodbye, brother... goodbye...

In the morning laughing happy fish heads
In the evening floating in the soup

Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer they can't talk

I took a fish head out to see a movie
Didn't have to pay to get it in

They can't play baseball they don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers they don't play drums

Roly poly fish heads are never seen
Drinking cappuccino in Italian restaurants

Yep. That was going to be my next post, but I had to go to take a lesson. Classic nonsense lyrics.
Same song also contains these gems:

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
I mean, WTF? Has anyone got even the slightest idea what the hell he's going on about? What has a pair of pants being pressed got to do with spring, or dancing, or love And why striped?
Call the Analogy police!
Further proof that LSD was wayyyy stronger back in the 60's.

and you know i ain't a joke, by the chain on my neck, now
I'm Papa shot, Tired and True,
i may not be black,
But i'll beatcha ass blue.

I am the master,
They are the students,
I rock so good, and the Rhymes are Prudent,
I sound so smooth, it's like you caught in a dream,
Beats so blazin, they melt cho ice cream!
I'm the one, who started the team,
sittin in church, i thought a masta scheme,
to start a group, all gansta themed,
with rhymes that streamed out like a laser beam
i recruited my brotha, and 3 of his friends,
we gon' be so rich, we can buy a benz,
and maybe a coupla body guards,
I'll ace you retards just like a deck of CARDS,
Please give my regards, to the chef,
for cookin' up a masterpiece,
if my rhymes were food, you'd be obese!
Don't hit me please, all i want is peace!
(and to get yo niece and her friend, denise!)

Hmm, I want to say "Oblivion" by Eve 6. "I've been burned like a wicker cabinet." End of story. But I generally loathe songs that are too lazy to find a rhyme, and just repeat a word instead.

First of all, Eve 6 doesn't have a song titled Oblivion. The song you quoted is titled "Inside Out", and it has some of the best lyrics of any song I've ever heard. Not sure what your reference to "repeating a word" is talking about....since Inside Out does nothing of the kind. Or was that a separate comment not related to that song?

Personally, the only Eve 6 song I can think of that has bad lyrics is Showerhead, though I might be forgetting one or two. Although most of their lyrics look stupid if you read them off paper or off a screen, when you actually put them to the beat and think about them, they're some of the better lyrics out there. Max Collins is a genius.

Only song of theirs I heard before I was 16 or so was "Here's To The Night," which was on the radio a lot when I was in grade school/early middle school. Didn't start listening to them until senior year of High School.


Back on the subject of bad lyrics, the Barenaked Ladies have some of the odder lyrics I've ever heard. "Another Postcard" comes to mind. Not necessarily bad, just bizarre.

On the topic of bands in general, any song by Juliet Dagger sounds like the scribblings from a teenage girls diary put to music (with topics ranging from sitting by the phone waiting for a boyfriend's call to whining about how the lead singers friends are, like, total drama queens, OMG).

How can this thread have possibly made it to a seventh page without anyone nominating anything by Yes?

Personally, I'll go for Yours is No Disgrace from the Yes Album, but only because quoting anything from 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' would take up a PhD dissertation.

Try this:

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace.

Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are,
Lost in summer, morning, winter, travel very far,
Lost in musing circumstances, that's just where you are.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.

Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.

I mean....

"Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are"

Really? How lovely.

Hmmmm.... Have just googled the lyrics for the 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' album by Yes, and....

Well, why don't I let them speak for themselves? I'm including the song's introduction from the sleeve notes because, well, because it's so very special.

The Ancient: Giants Under the Sun
Anderson/Howe/Squire/Wakeman/White

Puranas: The Ancient probes still further into the past beyond the point of remembering. Here Steve's guitar is pivotal in sharpening reflection on the beauties and treasures of lost civilisations, Indian, Chinese, Central American, Atlantean. These and other people left an immense treasure of knowledge.

As one with the knowledge and magic of the source
Atuned to the majesty of music
They marched as one with earth

Sol, Dhoop
Sun
Ilios
Naytheet
Ah Kin
Saule
Tonatiuh
Qurax
Gunes, Grian
Surje
Ir
Samse

So the flowering creativity of life wove its web face to face with the shallow
And their gods sought out and conquered
Ah Kin

Do the leaves of green stay greener through the autumn
Does the colour of the sun turn crimson white
Does a shadow come between us in the winter
Is the movement really light

And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story that they had heard about
Does one child know the secret and can say it
Or does it all come out along without you
Along without you
Along without you

Where does reaon stop and killing just take over
Does a lamb cry out before we shoot it dead
Are there many more in comfort understanding
Is the movement in the head

And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story that they had heard about
Does one child know the secret and can say it
Or does it all come out along without you
Along without you
Along without you

<sigh>
They don't write 'em like that anymore.

Thank God.

Heavy Metal Jesus by Dream Evil

On my way to kill the beast
I met a holy man from the east
His name was Jesus & he was son of man
He warned me about the danger ahead

He was godsend, he was gonna bring the Metal back
And take away the sins that people did in the past
He came down here to change our lives
He said to me while he looked me in the eyes

"I'm the Heavy Metal Jesus!
I'm the Heavy Metal thunderstriking Jesus"

He said, "if you wanna kill the beast
You gotta be blessed by the man from the east
So why don't you get down on your knee
And I will bless you with my Flying V?"

Do you know what the lyrics to the "noomah-noomah" song mean? I do, unfortunately, cause they're in my native language. A sample of their absolute crapitude:
"Your face and the love from the lime trees remind me of your eyes. You want to go but you won't take me, won't take me, won't take me" ("Vrei să pleci dar nu mă, nu mă iei, nu mă, nu mă iei" - the "nooma/numa/noomah" part).

Any lyrics that promote a sexist, racist, or homophobic view are the worst. I'll try to think of the second worst.

Yeah. I have trouble with threads like these. Generally I only bother learning the lyrics to songs I like, so I can't recall any ones that I found especially terrible. I can mouth off bands that I can't stand listening to for more than 10 seconds like anything, but individual songs...nope.


The Doors have written some of the greatest songs ever (Light My Fire, The End). But yes, LA Woman is utter pants.

It's not *that* bad. It's pretty...mediocre...but hardly in the league of the worst ever, I don't think.

That's just ignorant. There's plenty of rap out there that has a message, and it's not all obscure. Ever heard of Public Enemy?

I'd go as far to say that the quality of mainstream rock is pretty much on a dismal par with mainstream rap, so enough of the elitism already.

Casually glancing at his toupee.

About to make the most out a toaster.

:

Fluffy, furry buddy, chewed his leg on the porch
Why¹d you do it Fluffy - on the porch
Good dog Fluffy, old friend, my pal
Fluffy¹s got his buddy, on the porch

Penny - she¹s my girlie, she sits here with me, on the porch
Penny looks so pretty, on the porch
Penny takes Fluffy -- for a walk -- out on the path
Fluffy chases the other doggies -- on the path
The pig says to Penny get Fluffy back on the porch
So me and Fluffy and Penny are on the Porch

"U-G-L-Y! You don't need no alibi! You ugly! Yeah! Yeah! You ugly!"

I apologize for all the bad memories I've brought back....

Horrible, horrible lyrics.

I think "Alien" is pretty funny actually...youthful enthusiasm stretched as far as it could go. However, if you really wanted to post bad Simple Plan lyrics, you really could have brought up "Addicted". It's songs like that where I really wish Pierre Bouvier and the gang- who are all almost 30- would act their age...

I actually heard an interview with the songwriter on the radio. He was a really funny guy.
I'm not surprised. He'd have to have a good sense of humour to write those lyrics.

mmm...context

1 : to move briskly and often ostentatiously
2 : to be busily astir : TEEM

See, now it makes sense

Or at least, more sense than it did before.:p
Ok, so it means the hedge is swaying. Still not alarmed. Just looking at it and figuring it must be a bit windy out there.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING LYRICS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO CAUSE CANCER, SERIOUS DAIN BRAMAGE, AND OTHER HARMFUL EFFECTS. READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL!!!!





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 that's just a-what I'm gonna do.
Ooh love, to hold ya,
Ooh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
Ooh love, I wont let you go.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I got love in my tummy,
And as silly as it may seem;
The lovin' that you re giving,
is what keeps me livin'
And your love is like
Peaches and cream.
Kind-a like sugar,
Kind-a like spices,
Kind-a like, like what you do.
Kind-a sounds funny.
But love,honey
Honey. I love you.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I got love in my tummy,
That your love can satisfy;
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And sweet thing, that ain't no lie.
I love to hold ya,
Oh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
Ooh love, I wont let you go.

Feel Good Inc. by The Gorillaz.

City's breaking down on a camel’s back.
They just have to go 'cos they dont hold back
So all you fill the streets it’s appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I dont get sleep, no..

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let’s turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Lining them up like ass cracks,
Ladies, homies, at the track
its my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in the heart of this here
Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
watch me as I gravitate
hahahahahahaa.
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
this motown,
with yo sound
you're in the place
you gonna bite the dust
Cant fight with us
With yo sound
you kill the INC.
so dont stop, get it, get it
until you're cheddar header.
Yo, watch the way I navigate
ahahahahahhaa.
(Repeat) Feel Good

Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Learn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever love is free
Let’s turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?

Dont stop, get it, get it
we are your captains in it
steady,
watch me navigate,
ahahahahahhaa.
Dont stop, get it, get it
we are your captains
in it
steady,
watch me navigate
ahahahahaha.
Feel Good....

What the frickin' hell are they on about? :confused:

Madonna's new song 'I Love New York' is lyrically abysmal:

''I don't like cities
But I like new york
Other places make me feel like a dork''

''If you don't like my attitude
Then you can F off
Just go to Texas
Isn't that where they golf''

''New York is not for little pussies who scream
If you can't stand the heat
Then get off my street''.

Black Eyed Peas "My Humps"

And leave off "Bohemian Rhapsody". Part of its appeal is that it is lyrically incoherent. Better a song that knows it is nonsense than one which tries to be too clever (looking at Nirvana).

**Sigh** Go with the second definition. It means "if there's something in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed".

And besides, whichever definition you're using, if you're not alarmed by the bustling, doesn't that prove that the lyrics are good and sensible?

Sure, but I don't need a stoned hippie to tell me that.
Come to think about it, maybe I should be alarmed if I see my hedgerow bustling. It might be a drug-crazed hippie wandering onto my property wanting to set up a goddamn commie druggie commune.

I quite like Ween. Not familiar with "Fluffy" though. But they do have a long and glorious history of doing songs specifically just to invoke a WTF response in the listener. I mostly like them because they aren't afraid of offending anyone. And I do mean anyone.
Like this one.

Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)

Why they wanna see my spine mommy?
Why they wanna see my spine?
It's gonna hurt again mommy
Much worse than last time
Am I gonna see God, mommy?
Am I gonna die?
It really hurts mommy!
Am I gonna die?

Smile on mighty Jesus
Spinal Meningitis got me down

I'm feelin' greasy mommy
Please don't let me die
Stinky vaseline mommy!
Please don't let me die
Am I gonna see God, mommy?
Am I gonna die?
It really hurts mommy!
Am I gonna die?

Smile on mighty Jesus
Spinal Meningitis got me down
Smile on mighty Jesus
Spinal Meningitis got me down

I didn't understand Ween at all until I heard this song, I guess about ten years ago. Then: It all made sense. They're amazing.

I just thought of a new contender: Rock 'N' Roll Are Four Letter Words, by Silverwing

we are living for rock and roll
nothing else moves within our souls
walking the streets, we show no mercy
if you don't agree then you're on your own

rock and roll are four letter words
rock and RRR-OWWWL are four letter words

Woo!

rock and roll are four letter words
rock and roll are four letter words

They are!!

rock and roll are four letter words
rock and roll are four letter words

are, are, are, are
hit it!!!

rock and roll are four letter words
rock and RRR-OWL are four letter words

they really really are!!

Woo!!

Something like that, anyways. It's an awesome song, though

Any song by the band "Simple Plan".
Seconded...again and again and again and again and again... Worst frickin' lyrics ever...

Generally, they go like this: "My life is so hard, you don't get it, I'm a privleged twelve-year old who spends on debit, be nice to me daddy!" UGH...

Everytime I hear her screaching pterodactyl voice, it makes my ears bleed:headbang:

Also, there is a song by Jojo that include the lyrics, "we got into some street fights..." Seriously, she's like a 14 year old white girl.

Liasia;10662023']I nominate 'when a blind man cries' by Deep Purple. Actually, thinking about it, Bohemian Rhapsody wins hands-down. I’m just a poor boy my ass.
Anyone else?
Isn't the Deep Purple one called Child in Time? Anyway, I got it on a greatest hits CD and out of all 2500 songs on PC, it is by far my least favorite.

The rest of that album is great though... Hush, Kentucky Woman, Black Night, Speed King, Highway Star, Smoke on the Water, Space Truckin, Woman from Tokyo... etc.

I still hear your voice,
When you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch,
in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness,
But I dont know why,
Without you it's hard to survive

(chorus)
'Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I can fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch,
I feel estatic,
And every time we kiss,
I reach for the sky,
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go,
Want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle,
Your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry (I cry)
The good and the bad times,
We've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall..

(chorus)
'Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I can fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch,
I feel the static,
And every time we kiss,
I reach for the sky,
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go,
Want you in my life.

'every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I can fly,
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side

I mean, it's like, annoying man. Oh and not all rap is bad, listen to De La Soul or A Tribe Called Quest. Or Outkast. They're like, awesome.
