Forums > Social Chat > The Worst Lyrics In The World.... Ever!

Inspired by the outstanding level of awful lyrics in the Rock Thread I thought the topic deserved a little corner of its own!

A few to kick us off:

"Once he built missiles, a nations defence
Now he can't even give birthday presents"

Iron Maiden - Man On The Edge


"Legalistic people suck
Legalism makes me sick
I wonder what makes them tick
I wanna go and puke on it"

MXPX - I'm The Bad Guy

"He was a boy
She was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can i say"

Avril Lavigne - Skater Boy


"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends."

Spice Girls - Wannabe

Lol, and if you thought the Maiden one was bad:

"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!"

Donna Summer - MacArthur Park

genius!!!

"So long and thanks for all the fish."

Well. Bad lyrics surely can't be mentioned without some of that Fred Durst magic;

i did it all for the nookie (come on) the nookie (come on)
so you can take that cookie and stick it up your (yeah)
stick it up your (yeah) stick it up your (yeah)
stick it up your



In this talk of being nasty about lyrics, I would point out that what we're doing is all a bit self-deprecating, as most of us are putting up songs that we've heard enough to be able to recal the lyrics. Even songs we have quite liked. Now we use hindsight to make a joke of it. And why not eh?


(And yes, I was once quite a fan of Limp Bizkit )

Some things you have to see to believe, but
Some things you have to believe in to see.

"i am exotic, and must keep my arms down" - Rougie

"i don't understand what penises have to do with getting married" - Foxie

I still think I win the strange japanese bear people

i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey

Rougie: but that's what I'm doing here
Arnwyn: what letting me adjust myself in your room?..don't you dare quote that on HoP...

"ring ring ring ring ring ring ring,, BANANAPHONE! Boop boopidoopidoop!"

I love the song, but the lyrics are lame I love it ^_^

"I'd like to fly, but my wings are bent and so am I"

love the music but my god these guys must've been stoned to write this

Alice In Chains btw

Are you up for it?

Fox, I'm certainly not anti-commercialist... but I really don't see what's wrong with sharing some stupid/silly things you've come across and having a laugh about them

I still think, especially with stuff like 90s-techno-pop (which maybe you didn't get so much of outside mainland Europe - lucky you!) it was just a fill-lines-with-something-that-rhymes-and-is-dance-or-sex-related job, and unless you're really not talented with language that's not too hard. Ditto with lyrics for lots of tv casting show people. But we can agree to disagree

"vices are like genitals - most are ugly to behold, and yet we find that our own are dear to us."
(G.W. Dahlquist)

Owner of Dragosani's left half

The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."

I don't see why not being able to write lyrics should stop someone criticising other peoples. Silliness! I probably wouldn't make much of a politician but I'm certainly not gonna let that stop me criticising how my countries MPs act.





Most lyrics (particually the ones written specifically for commercial consumption) are awfull and cliche ridden through laziness on the writer's part or just from a supreme lack of creativity.

Also, when alot of lyrics are written they are pretty much to fill a gap. Just for ANYTHING to say. The vocal melody is far more important in most pop/RnB style songs than the words. Therefore usually almost no effort is put in to writing them.



Anyway, it's not like it's a hate campaign, I love lots of music that has awful lyrics!



Punk makes me laugh, it's one of the most dogmatic, close-minded, musically tired, unchanging scenes in existence. If it's not exactly like it was in the 70's then you're selling out!!!

I came to the stunning realisation a couple of months after dusting off one of my old AIC albums that they were Emo music for the 90's still awesome though.



There was no emo in the nineties
It was just that "weird metaller who's dressed in black all the time"

Are you up for it?

*cough*

Actually, emo was an offshoot of punk. S'been around for time, but was never really popular.

'Till now, that is.

Sorry , there was the scene of it but it was never called Emo, over here anyway

britney spears Baby One More Time: "my lonliness is killing me" in 1999.

she keeps us informed of how she'e feeling in 2000 in Stronger: "my lonliness ain't killing me no more"

it'd kind of her to put our minds at rest about the her life threatening cindition

In that case, we need to also put up some Kid Rock, who I am a fan of btw....

"My name is KiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiD"

Thanks for that introduction.

"Kid Rock!"

Oh, and there's a last name

"Bawitdabadibangdabangdiggydiggy....."

You get the idea of the profundity I'm hinting at.

i like these Lyrics in Donovan's "Mellow Yellow":

"Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase"

Hoppers are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Which in itself, is ironic... (Genius or Geni-arse?)

(the only one in that song is the bit with the guy who was afraid of flying only to die in a plane crash on his first flight!)

"I used to want to change the world, now I just wanna leave the room with a little dignity..." - Lotus Weinstock

Normality is the playground of the unimaginative
