Worst Song Lyrics Ever . . .

[Booko]

Even though it was before my time, I remember hearing a song by Paul Anka called "You're Having My Baby" and thought I was going to choke from laughing so hard.

Oh no...I had quite forgotten that bit of sentimental tripe! :faint:

Yes, I was also laughing, but my Mom was there so I had to turn around and make silly faces instead. She rather liked it. Well, she would.

 

[Phil Lawton]

Without doubt it's:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no there's no limits (or as we sang, lyrics)

repeated ad nauseum to a '90s Dutch techno 'tune'.

James

I dread to think of the sleepless nights they endured to churn those gems of the language out. Did the verse also not include the Tennyson-like jewel "Techno-techno-techno-techno!"?

Small wonder they picked up the Ivor Novello Award for that year.

 

[angellous_evangellous]

The entire song "Ticks" by Brad Paisley is the worst that I've ever heard.

Anything by New Kids on the Block. They only knew one word, anyway, "oh."

 

[James the Persian]

I believe you are correct. Unfortunately the general lack of lyrics throughout the piece had quite blinded me to the fact that they did use one other word, even if it also was meaningless and needlessly repeated.

James

 

[Booko]

For your delectation, B.

I also know a good shrink who'll sort you out afterwards:

Thanks, Phil! Well, I can pretty well guess why Eibhlin thought the lyrics were dumb. They are. She probably thought the music was pretty thin and wondered what the lack of choreography was about as well. I mean, why just stand there in pointe shoes and do ho' poses anyway?

Nah, I don't need a shrink, but I might go put on some Miles Davis.

That's the hidden cunning of their art, James.

I stand in awe (but it does come off one's shoes with a small amount of cod oil).

 

[Phil Lawton]

I might go put on some Miles Davis.

A man of infinitely good taste.

(Small threadjack - if you're into jazz, check out the Esbjorn Svensson Trio - also known as EST, thankfully - and the Tord Gustavsen Trio. The latter are Norwegian jazz minimalists and wonderful with it...the former - Swedish - are my favourite band at the moment...breathtaking)

Smurf house made another record on this.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no , no , no , no ,no.
Else it would be to hard for the kids I guess..
Yeah, the dutch knew how to make music back then


In that same era they made the song "James brown is dead", followed by another writer:"James brown is still alive"
Some time later we got the song "Who the f* is James Brown" :thud:

 

[Phil Lawton]

Yeah, the dutch knew how to make music back then

The antidote, of course, will always be Golden Earring, B.

I am still haunted by the demons released by LFO in their song "Summer Girl"

New Kids On The Block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by
For the summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer, since that summer

Hip hop, marmalade, spick-and-span
Met you one summer and it all began
You're 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 Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby
Somethin' in your eyes really drove me crazy

 

[doppelganger]

And honorable mention to the first ever mainstream appearance of "Rap" in the form of Blondie's "Rapture"

Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars

How about 50 Cent's "21 Questions"?

Here's an excerpt, although the song in it's entirety leaves something to be desired:

Now would you leave me if your father found out I was thuggin'?
Do you believe me when I tell you, you the one I'm loving?
Are you mad 'cause I'm asking you 21 questions?
Are you my soulmate? 'Cause if so, girl you a blessing
Do you trust me enough, to tell me your dreams?
I'm staring at ya' trying to figure how you got in them jeans
If I was down would you say things to make me smile?
I treat you how you want to be treated just teach me how
If I was with some other chick and someone happened to see?
And when you asked me about it I said it wasn't me
Would you believe me? Or up and leave me?
How deep is our bond if that's all it takes for you to be gone?
And always remember girl we make mistakes, to make it up I do whatever it take
I love you like a fat kid love cake
You know my style I say anything to make you smile

I love you like a fat kid love cake?

That just warms my heart. LOL




Peace,
Mystic

[9-10ths_Penguin]

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension

Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mister Enstein's theory
So we must get back to Earth at times
Relax, relieve the tension

No matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed...

- the introduction to "As Time Goes By", which was understandably left out of Casablanca.

 

[Trey of Diamonds]

Ok, here is a really recent one called Into the Ocean by Blue October. Like the America songs in the first post, the words sound nonsensical but as a song it sounds really good. Of course with America, the drugs certianly played a factor...

Into The Ocean
by Blue October

I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I'd rather swim ashore

Without a life vest I'd be stuck again
Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim
Like 'fourteen miles away'

Now floating up and down
I spin, colliding into sound
Like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom of my
Everything that freaks me out
The lighthouse beam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be
be

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down

Where is the coastguard
I keep looking each direction
For a spotlight, give me something
I need something for protection
Maybe flotsam junk will do just fine
the jetsam sunk, I'm left behind
I'm treading for my life believe me
(How can I keep up this breathing)

Not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending
I thought of just your face
Relaxed, and floated into space

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down

Now waking to the sun
I calculate what I had done
Like jumping from the bow (yeah)
Just to prove I knew how (yeah)
It's midnight's late reminder of
The loss of her, the one I love
My will to quickly end it all
Set front row in my need to fall

Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
into the ocean...end it all

[Zayra]
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion (yeah)
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down

I hate, hate, hate Toby Keith's Maintinance Man song!

Die!

I'd rather rub icy-hot on my cat's butt than listen to that crap.

 

[doppelganger]

O dear Lord....

Apparently there are no atheists in foxholes or at LFO concerts.

 

[Ðanisty]

I'll always have a soft spot for America because they did the soundtrack for the film version of Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn. I watched that movie obsessively when I was little.

Me too!

Behind Blue Eyes has the dumbest lyrics I remember right now. I'm not a fan of self-pity in lyrics. :sarcastic

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But now I have to hate you because The Who is my favorite band of all time and Behind Blue Eyes is one of my favorite Who songs. You didn't quote the good lyrics though, so maybe we can still be friends.



I love this song, but the lyrics are horrible...lol. It's sacred like the Safety Dance though:

Turning Japanese by The Vapors:
Ive got your picture of me and you
You wrote I love you I love you too
I sit there staring and theres nothing else to do
Oh its in color your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel and soft as clouds
I often kiss you when theres no one else around

Ive got your picture, Ive got your picture
Id like a million of them all round my cell
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
Youve got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning round

Im turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Im turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so

Ive got your picture, Ive got your picture
Id like a million of them all round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
Youve got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning round

Im turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Im turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder its dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone-ranger everyone

Thats why Im turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Im turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so

Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
(think so think so think so)
Turning japanese
I think Im turning japanese
I really think so
