I am a HUGE Elvis fan - loved his voice and what he could do with a song. Worst lyrics ever? Has to be "Well, bless my soul, what's wrong with me? I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree. My friends say I'm acting wild as a bug, I'm in love. I'm all shook up".

I grew up in the 80's as a big Duranie. Their lyrics can definitely be abstract, and I actually love that, but here are some that just get me:

From Duran Duran's "New Moon on Monday":
"Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide."

From Duran Duran's "Union of the Snake":
"The union of the snake is on the climb.
Moving up, it's gonna race, it's gonna break through the borderline"

I said wild thing...Wild thing, I think I love you...

Any song that makes stalking look cool is the worst for me. Like Sting's (?): "Every breath you take/Every move you make/Every smile you fake/Every claim you stake/I'll be watching you/Oh can't you see/You belong to me/I'm a fool who aches/With every step you take." God, I hate that song.

Best opening song line ever: I hate to get the lyrics wrong, so I'll just say it's the opening to "Joy to the World" from Three Dog Night.

Avril Lavigne's "Happy Ending:"
"Let's talk this over,

Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead"

First of all, of course we're not dead, otherwise we wouldn't be talking, now would we? And that line sounds just like filler anyways. Then she uses the word "dead" again 4 lines later! Awful!

Great site!

I said, 'doctor, to relieve this bellyache?'" He had to have been on a binge with John Lennon when he wrote that creative low!

I know I'm commiting a HUGE sin by saying this, But there'e a part from the Steve Miller Bands song "The Joker" that goes....." ...and I speak, of the pompitice(sic) of love."
Um...OK...What in all blue heck does Pompitice mean? Did Mr, Miller have a Flavor Flav moment and make up a word? I love this song, don't get me wrong. So much so that my friends and I dressed up as the song for Halloween one year.(And almost won the contest, I might add) But, evertime I get to that part, I kinda studder for a moment!!!!

All time worst for me is Burt Bacarach's "What the World Needs Now is Love". The "love, sweet love" part is okay, but when he starts going on about mountains and meadows...

Lord, we don't need
another mountain,
there are mountains
and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans
and rivers enough to cross,
enough to last
'til the end of time.

Lord, we don't need
another meadow
there are cornfields
and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams
and moonbeams enough to shine
oh listen, lord,
if you want to know.

What? Is he expecting the "Lord" to drop another mountain on earth, or clear away a city to make a meadow? Sure, the sun and moon are bright enough, but what does that have to do with love?

Rats, got the song stuck in my head now. Quick! Where's my iPod? I need musical therapy!

I'm going to nominate Madonna's rap from American Life for having the most cringe-worthy, uncool lyrics ever:

I’m drinkin’ a soy latte, I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body and you know I’m
satisfied
I drive my mini Cooper and I’m feeling super-duper
Yo’, they tell I’m a trooper and you know I’m
satisfied
I do yoga and Pilates and the room is full of hotties
So I’m checkin’ out the bodies and you know I’m
satisfied
I’m diggin’ on the isotopes, this metaphysics s*** is
dope
And if all this can give me hope you know I’m
satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager, an agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant and a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler and a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist, do you think I’m satisfied
I’d like to express my extreme point of view
I’m not a Christian and I’m not a Jew
I’m just livin’ out the American dream
And I just realized that nothin’ is what it seems

My vote goes to Patrick Swayze's memorable ditty, "She's Like the Wind". I mean, this song is horrendous. "She's like the wind through my tree. She rides the night next to me." Barf.

And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one.
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun,
And take away the plain in which we move,
And choose the course you're running.

Baby your secret's safe."

Rufus Wainwright - "Vibrate"

My phone's on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karioke too
I try to dance Britney Spears
I guess I'm getting on in years

My phone's on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears

My phone's on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio's now a boy
Who wants to turn back into a toy

So call me
Call me in the morning
Call me in the night
So call me
Call me anytime you like

My phone's on vibrate for you
For you

The new will.i.am song "I Got It From My Mama (Genetics)" is one of the most atrocious songs I've ever heard. It's so repetitive and inane.

Baby where’d you get your body from?
Tell me where’d you get your body from.
Baby where’d you get your body from?
Tell me where’d you get your body from.
I got it from my mama.
I got it from my mama.
I got it from my mama.

That's pretty much the entire song.

"My Humps" is without a doubt the single biggest sign ever of the decline of Western civilization, and that young people today have the worst taste in music in the history of bad music. It's stupid, it's repetitive, it's monotonous and above all, it's insipid.

But if you want a really good laugh, check out Alannis Morissette's parody version on YouTube.com. It's silly, but it's still a big improvement over the original.

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above

Nibbling on bacon, chewin on cheese
Sammy says to susie honey, would you please be my missus?
And she say yes

But I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend,
But I am,
Blue Canary in the outlet by the light switch,
Who watches over your?
Make a little birdhouse in your soul,
Not to put too fine a point on it,

Put a litle birdhouse in your Soul."

Without question- the worst song, as recorded by Bobby Goldsboro- "Honey"- how maudlin and syrupy-

One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved

Afternoon Delight
The Starland Vocal Band

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 you know the night is always gonna be there any way.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

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 rubbin' you is getting so exciting.

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though 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. Afternoon delight.

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

Bobby Goldsboro has to have the worst song ever written and it's called "Honey".

"See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show

And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good

Diann - how can you loathe "Freebird"? Yes, Sweet Home Alabama is their sig song, but Freebird is true magnum opus of the best Southern Rock band of all. I've seen Elizabethtown 5 times already just for the tribute piece. LOL...

There are some real classics like "Come Together" by the Beatles or "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Stones (as well as other early Stones songs) have very innocuous lyrics...

I'm going to have to go with the best display of logic ever.

I'm hot cause I'm fly
You aint cause you not

It's ridiculously juvenile and clearly meant for people playing Which of these is not like the other?

But what else would you expect from a song called This is why I'm hot?

Should also point out that it should be done without just using similes. Thank god someone else has control of the dictionary.

Don't be alarmed now

In "I Am, I Said," I believe the lyric is "and no one heard at all that even would care." Makes a lot more sense now, huh? And with regards to "pompateus" (or however you spell it), it is indeed a made up word. I remember Steve Miller doing an interview where he said he made up the word "because it fit." My older brother always maintained he was singing about the "competence" of love. I'm not sure how much sense that makes! Macarthur Park has always struck me as an unintentional joke. I'm sure Richard Harris thought he was creating a work of art, but that's a whole lot of emotion wasted on a friggin' cake!

"I like big butts and I cannot lie"... What a standout lyric in a song by Sir Mix-A-Lot. The music has a great beat to it and yet at the same time the lyric implies that men like women with big butts.

Hey that gives me an idea
lets get out of this bar
Drive out into the country
And find a place to park

CHORUS
Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you in a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks

I know the perfect little path
Out in these woods I used to hunt
Don't worry babe I've got your back
And I've also got your front
I'd hate to waste a night like this
I'll keep you safe you wait and see
The only thing allowed to crawl all over you
When we get there is me

I'm trying very hard to remember the name of the song that Neil Young performed with the worst lyrics yet. When he did it live, he said that he originally wrote 28 verses to the song and that the next one was the worst of the 28, but he put it in anyway just to show us how bad it can get. It went something like, "Now you're underneath the stairs, and you're givin' back some glares... to the people that you've met and it's your first cigarette."

I gotta mention the Simon & Garfunkel song "Leaves That Are Green." I like the song, but the last verse always makes me think Paul just was at a loss for words. Here it is:

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song.
Im twenty-two now but I wont be for long
Time hurries on.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl.
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Hello, hello, hello, good-bye,
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,
Thats all there is.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Cuz in the ceremony you'll be the best man."

"Meet virginia" by Train is full of awful lyrics:

"She smokes a pack a day, oh wait, that's me but anyway
She doesn't care a thing about that, hey"

Guilty for using "but anyway" as filler, then rhyming THAT with "hey", which is the the 2nd worst lyrical cop-out ever.

"Well she wants to be the Queen
Then she thinks about her scene
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna be the queen"

Rhyming a word with the same word later, in this case "queen". The worst lyrical cop-out ever.

"Well she wants to live her life
Then she thinks about her life
Pulls her hair back as she screams
I don't really wanna live this life"

And here they fo it again, rhyming "life" with "life"...TWICE.

And then...

"She only drinks coffee at Midnight, when the moment is not
right, her timing is quite-unusual
you see her confidence is tragic, but her intuition magic
and the shape of her body - unusual"

Pulling this stunt twice before wasn't enough, they have to do it a THIRD TIME!!!

For Pam in Yakima ... Burt Bacharach only composed the music for "What the World Needs Now". The actual lyrics were written by Hal David.

For caineme in Quincy ... pompatus is a neologism, which is a word, term, or phrase which has been recently created ("coined") — often to apply to new concepts, to synthesize pre-existing concepts, or to make older terminology sound more contemporary. From Wikipedia:

Some people call me the space cowboy.
Yeah! Some call me the gangster of love.
Some people call me Maurice,
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love.

The words "space cowboy" and "gangster of love" are both references to previous Miller songs. The "pompatus" line is also a reference to an earlier song of his, "Enter Maurice," which was recorded the previous year.

"And if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with." (I can't for the life of me think of who sang this. But yeah...settling makes it ALL better. That's how you make a relationship work. Just suck it up and be miserable.)

I just had this conversation about the Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way". It's not just that I hate this song (which I do, despite it's incredibly catchy melody and good performance and production value)...it's that I can't figure out WHICH WAY THEY WANT IT!

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

(from this I get that he really likes this girl and he's happy about it)

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

(Uh oh - worlds apart! So they're separated by something, and if she likes it that way she obviously doesn't care for him - or his boyband money.)

[ Chorus: ]
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

(Ok, it's obviously tough on this guy...so tough he's making no sense. Does he not want to hear her say she's glad they're "worlds apart"?)

Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way

(Ok, assuming this is the same girl I am TOTALLY confused. All the sudden the shoe's on the other foot. Does she now want him and he's with someone else? Is he glad she wants him anyway, so she knows how it feels?)

[ Chorus ]

Now I can see that
we're falling apart
From the way that it
used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down
inside of me...

(Who's falling apart? Is it his relationship with girl #2? Is he glad they're breaking up so now he can hook up with the girl who dissed him first?)

You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are, you are, you are

(Again: girl, he likes you)

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

(So he never wants to hear her say she wants it that way? The way she wanted it in the beginning? What other way could this confused girl want it? Broiled? Fried? With extra cheese???)

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Don't wanna hear you say it)
I want it that way
I want it that way

(At this point I'm tearing out what little hair I have left. So this whole thing was a mistake? A misunderstanding? Have I wasted my time typing this when I should be working? DEAR GOD, tell me WHY-EE!)

Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait" makes me cringe. Truthfully, any song from Dawson's Creek makes me cringe, but the lyrics for this one have been known to make me scream in the car and turn the radio off so my ears don't melt.

So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every I

New Kids on the Block, "Step by Step"...pretty much tne entire song has terrible lyrics but i think the worst is the actual run through of the steps: "Step one: we can have lots of fun..." Admittedly, it's these horribly kitschy lyrics that make me love the song...ironically of course.

I can't believe that no one has commented on the cheesy and totally unprovocative lyrics of R. Kelly. He's could fill a whole forum by itself. Can't think of the most of them at the moment, but one that comes to mind:

"Let me put my keys in your ignition, baby"

How, that's genius.

The first one that came to mind when I read this, though was a song by Joe called "All the things (your man won't do)". It's supposed to be slow and romantic, but, and he is good a good singer, but one of the last lines in the song says:

"I'll make my body scream like a sex machine, I won't stop until I hear you're mother scream"

What???

Please don't ever reference anyones "mother" and "sex" in the same song, let along the same sentence. What the hell were they thinking? Gross!

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think"

(No...no that isn't irony. Few situations in this song, if any, are truly ironic. Perhaps if he chose at the last minute to drive and died in a car accident whereas the plane landed safely, that would be ironic. My inner grammar teacher weeps quietly whenever I hear this song.)

"Emotional Rescue" by the Rolling Stones. There are no words to describe this song. I can't believe Mick and Keith wrote it. I can't believe they recorded it. And unbelievably so...they released it. The longer you read it, the scarier it gets:

Is there nothing i can say
Nothing i can do
To change your mind
I'm so in love with you
You're too deep in
You can't get out
You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house
Yeah, baby, i'm crying over you

Don't you know promises were never made to keep?
Just like the night, dissolve in sleep
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue

Yeah, the other night, crying
Crying baby, yeah i'm crying
Yeah i'm like a child baby
I'm like a child baby
Child yeah, i'm like a child, like a child
Like a child

You think you're one of a special breed
You think that you're his pet pekinese
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue

I was dreaming last night
Last night i was dreaming
How you'd be mine, but i was crying
Like a child, yeah, i was crying
Crying like a child
You will be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, all mine
You could be mine, could be mine
Be mine, all mine

I come to you, so silent in the night
So stealthy, so animal quiet
I'll be your savior, steadfast and true
I'll come to your emotional rescue
I'll come to your emotional rescue

Yeah, you should be mine, mine, whew
Yes, you could be mine
Tonight and every night
I will be your knight in shining armour
Coming to your emotional rescue
You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine
You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine
I will be your knight in shining armour

Fergie's current hit (proof of the ability of "stars" to put out terrible music that the kids just eat up) "Big girls don't cry":

And I'm going to miss you like a child misses their blanket

Seriously? You couldn't come up with anything better? A child cannot miss their blanket. The proper pronoun would be his or her. But besides that, the lyrics just suck.

I suppose this is second only to her other song, the chorus of which is:

Glamourous, g-g-glamourous, glamourous, g-glamourous, flouncy, flouncy.

"Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find"

and then the very next part of the songs says

"If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor just do what you feel"

"but their killing Jason off with (in?) countless screaming argonaughts!"

The lyric pops up out of no where and just comes out at us.

Ok I know that "Jason and the Agonaughts" is that sci-fi puppet show thing but why are they mentioned in this song?

Could TMG not surpress their geekiness long enough to make one serious song for the radio? Even their non-radio songs make more sense than this line.

Is the bird NightLite watching the TV while singing the song to us? Did Jason and the Argonaughts get killed? I don't know, I've never seen that show.

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye...
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
'Well isn't this nice...'"

8. "It's a traffic jam when you're already late"

9. "It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break"

10. "It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife"

"Isn't it ironic ... don't you think"

From Lisa Marie Presley (who I really like normally) and who lives in California (note the time zone):

"Lights Out"
You were a million miles behind
And I was crying every time I'd leave you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind

Ok, so one, we don't need "behind" twice in one verse, but also, Memphis is two hours AHEAD of California where LMP grew up. That grates on my nerves every time.

I really hate "I love you more today than yesterday - but not as much as tomorrow."

It suggests that I really do love you, but something is missing. I'm sure it will get better. But every woman I've talked to about it thinks the sentiment is just wonderful.

And I really did like Three Dog Night before they released "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog." Did they think they could improve on G. F. Handel's "Joy to the World"?

The entire lyrical content of the Buoys Timothy is a must for any worst list. Cause cannibalism makes for bad pop songs. Granted, Timothy was written by Rupert Holemes, who gave us " If you like pina coladas/ and getting caught in the rain".
And of course, ther is " Young girl/ get out of my mind/ my love for you is way outta line/ better run girl/ your must too young girl". Why oh why did Gary Puckett think singing about jail bait would be a good idea.
My champion comes from my all time favorite band, R.E.M., and the ridiculous " Shiny Happy People". Holding hands, laughing, whatever. Michael stipe, you broke my heart with that...

I like the "My Humps" to dance to, if not the lyrics. That's a real bootie-shaker. :)

Some other songs I don't like the lyrics of:

-- Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". I can't think of that song without switching genders, sadly. Maybe if I'd been older than ten in his heyday....
-- Aerosmith's "I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing/...Wondering if it's me you're seeing/Then I kiss your eyes...I don't want to close my eyes/I don't want to fall asleep/'Cause I'd miss you babe..."
God, that guy needs to get a life. The orgasmic screaming at the end really doesn't help.
-- (?) "I want to stand with you on a mountain/I want to bathe with you in the sea/I want to lay (?) like this forever/Until the sky falls down around me." Cheesy beyond words.
-- I'd probably like the song better if I knew the words, or even the real title of the song, but the "Dawson's Creek" theme has one of the weirdest lyric pieces I've ever heard. That part that goes something like "Open up your morning light/And say a little prayer for I/You know that if we are to stay alive/And see the peace in every eye" or something like that (that's how I understand the lyrics). I probably horribly butchered the lyrics, but I can barely understand the song anyway.

A couple of "gems" from Fergie showing off how "talented" and "classy" she is (do note her referring to herself as a lady):

How come every time you come around
My London London Bridge want to go down
Like London London London wanna go down
Like London London London be going down like

The glamorous,
The glamorous, glamorous (the glamorous life)
For the glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

Fergalicious definition make them boys go crazy.

They always claim they know me,
Comin' to me call me Stacy (Hey, Stacy),
I'm the F to the E, R, G, the I, the E,
And can't no other lady put it down like me.

On that note, I do agree that My Humps is the worst story in the history of mankind. If you are so hot and everyone wants you, is it necessary to advertise it in every song? I never see any of the beautiful, classy ladies having to say that.

I actually have to admit I like this song (reminds me of college), but Savage Garden's "To the Moon and Back" is full of downright silly lyrics. This line is the most egregious:

"If love was red then she was color-blind..."

Alternative ideas for getting your point across:

"If love was red, then she was a dog cuz dogs can't see the color red..."

"If love was red, then she was wearing those red-colored glasses that makes other red stuff impossible to see..."

"If love was red, then it must have been standing in front of a red background or something because somehow she couldn't see it..."

And so on.

Also, Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" lyrics:

"I hurt myself today to see if I still feel..."

I think a lot of country music has some terrible lyrics.

- "You're a fine piece of real estate, and I'm gonna get me some land" - Shania Twain (heck, even the title line of that song is awful "I'm gonna getcha good")!

- "She thinks my tractor's sexy" - Kenny Chesney

- "Way down yonder on the Chattahoochie, it gets hotter than a hoochie coochie" - Alan Jackson

Here's a line from a pop song that drives me totally up the wall...

- "Let me hear you say this s*** is bananas,
B-A-N-A-N-A-S" - Gwen Stefani

MacArthur Park was written by Jimmy Webb, and just emoted by Richard Harris. I would give the grammar award to Oscar Hammerstein II, because he certainly knew better -- this from "Geraniums in the Winder" from Carousel:

And coming home at twilight
it might have been so sweet
to take my catch of herring
and lay them at your feet.

The image is supposed to be funny, but a catch is an it, not a them.

This is one of those "guilty pleasure" songs that I actually will listen to once in a blue moon but have to admit the lyrics really are HORRIBLE!!

"So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark"

Rhianna's "Unfaithful" always makes me change the radio station. Honey, if you are so happy with the other guy, break up with your boyfriend. It is beyond ridiculous!

Our Love, his trust
I might as well take a gun and put it to his head
Get it over with
I don't wanna do this
Anymore
Uh
Anymore

But the song I find beyond appalling is Will.i.am's "I Got It From My Mama". Is he serious? I really didn't think he could get any worse than "My Humps".

If the girl real fine,
Nine times out of ten,
She fine just like her mama.

If the girl real pretty,
Nine times out of ten,
She pretty like her mama.

And if her mama real ugly,
I guarantee ya she gon’ be ugly like her mama.

And if her mama real ugly,
I guarantee ya she gon’ be ugly like her mama.

If the girl real sexy,
Nine times out of ten,
She sexy like her mama.

If the girl real hot,

She hot just like her mama.

But I blame radio stations more for playing them than for them being written.

The worst lyrics EVER belong to "Summer Girls" by LFO. The whole song is cringe-worthy!

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 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
{Verse 2}

Cheery Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
Always been hip to the B-boY Style
Known to act wild and make girls smile,
Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
Remind me of you because you rock my world
You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip hop and rock n roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry Coke,
I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

{Verse 3}

Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Lipit
Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it
Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Call you up but whats the use
I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose
Came in the door said it before,I think I'm over you
but I'm really not sure
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

Give me a break -- These have to be the most random lyrics ever!!!!!! Alex P. Keaton, Paul Revere, Cherry Coke and Chinese Food -- all in one song!

"'scuse me while I kiss the sky."

How can anyone forget the '80s atrocity, "We Are the World"? The lyrics were terrible and the music video was worse. The song commits one of the most glaring errors of any song I know: the line, "Just like God/Turned those stones to bread." Anyone who has ever been in Sunday School or watched an Easter special on TV knows that Satan tempted Christ to turn stones to bread, but he didn't do it. Didn't any of the song's producers think to check this?

Kristi, from the OC...I hear you about Hotel California and the colitas.
Actually it's sort of funny because I grew up on the US Mexico Border and when I was a little kid I assumed it was "Warm smell of gorditas / rising up through the air." (C'mon, how can you NOT love gorditas?) So that was what I sang for years until my mother pointed out that I had the words wrong. (I also thought it was "Her mind is sick and it's twisted" not "Tiffany-twisted" so I had a lot to learn about Hotel California)

However, when I learned the ugly truth my reaction was much the same as yours. What the high holy heck is a colita? Is it like colitis? Sounds nasty...

Nomination for bad grammar in a song:

"I shot the sheriff. But I didn't shoot no deputy."

This means the guy shot two law enforcement officers. Shame on him! Read the second statement carefully. It is a double negative statement, which makes it a positive statement. It means he did shoot a deputy.

For example, when people say, "I don't know nothing," that means they know something. A double negative makes it positive.

'Cause when I was a little baby boy my mama gave me a brand new toy

got sucked in ahole
now there's a hole in the sky
and the ground's not cold
and if the ground's not cold
everything is gonna burn

How about this one from Stevie Nicks' Klonopin days?

"Somewhere out in the back of your mind
Comes your real life and the life that you know
It seems like
It was a creation of the same old things
The old things left out in the light

She had trusted many, but was unfamiliar with
Almost anyone but
You
Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Every time you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you
If I do say so myself
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you.

She had trusted many
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence
That she could sense a mile away
She dreamed of a wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried and tried to taunt him..."

I'd go on but the rest of the song makes even less sense.

The one that always gets me is Thin Lizzy: "The boys are back in town"...

"You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got, Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming" (Cool or Red Hot? Make up your mind...It's steaming alright...in a great big pile)

(As we continue the poetry...)
"And that time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her"
(Every time I hear this stupid line I want to get up and slap the radio!)

(Any bar named after a cartoon has got to be filled with tough guys, right? ....)
"Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them"

Or else what, tough guy? You'll make me listen to this dumb song again?

Last but not least...The Moron of the Century award goes to Van Halen:
"Only time will tell if we stand the test of time"
Pure genius guys, pure genius.

This subject has been coming up around here a lot lately for whatever reason, and I stand firmly behind my pick of Rod Stewart's line from "Maggie May" as the single most awkward line ever: "I laughed at all of your jokes / My love you didn't need to coax."

If you include Duran Duran, they would sweep the top 100 or so worst lyric spots. But as an ode to the supremely ludicrous, may I suggest New Moon on Monday? A sample:

Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide

I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

While I understand that Wild Thing and Surfin' Bird are good candidates, I can't truly say that they're that bad because they were MEANT to be bad. They're just nonsense lyrics. No, only lyrics that were meant in all seriousness can apply for this particular award.

And so far, only one person has mentioned the true winner of all time: Wildfire.

I like this song, but... Procol Harum's Whiter Shade of pale.

But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed
also,

And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale

Sorry - "Humps" may be stupid and tasteless, but Those Kids Nowadays haven't come up with anything HALF as evil as "Honey". I know it's been mentioned several times above, but it can't be repeated often enough. The world must be defended from this horror!

The entire romance is vile, but I have to quote one tidbit: "She wrecked the car and she was sad, and so afraid that I'd be mad, but what the heck! Though I pretended hard to be, guess you could say she saw through me, and hugged my neck." Would that she had strangled him when she had the chance.

As Dave Barry said some years ago, the song is almost bearable if you believe Honey ran off with the HELLS Angels ("One day while I was not at home, while she was there and all alone, the angels came..."). Alas, the truth is that Honey was too passive-aggressive to tell her condescending husband how sick she was. So instead she maintained her stoic pose, except for the occasional burst of "crying needlessly in the middle of the day", until he was left to walk in the door and find her dead body. Yuck.

Finally, a chance to vent about this song by Lonestar, "I'm Already There". The guy is on a business trip and calls home from the hotel. His kid asks when he's coming home and instead of answering something simple, like "Tuesday", we get a response that probably gave the little boy nightmares.

A little voice came on the phone
And said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there

This was the FIRST THING that came to his mind????

We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

The lyrics of Highway 61 is a funny song, full of twisted literal and cultural touchstones, oh sweet nimrod of nimble perceptiveness. Broaden your education, please ... thy ignorance is on Broadway and it's a sellout, total SRO.

2.)I'm a big fan of Jeff Lynne, but on the wonderful 1981 Electric Light Orchestra sci-fi pop album Time, he pulled some howlers from gawd knows where and planted them in the middle of some great songs. For example, "Rain Is Falling", a great R&B gospel-tinged narrative number that describes a natural disaster provoked by either a scientific experiment gone wrong or a nuclear catastrophe, this awful middle-eight lyric sticks out like some ugly artifice: "With their brand new time transporter, they'll think maybe I fought to get away/ but with all their great intentions and all their great inventions, here I stay". Stops the song cold.

I'd have to vote:

Look into my eyes
Can't you see they're open wide
Would I lie to you baby??
Would I lie to you??...oh yeah

from "would I lie to you baby" by Charles and Eddy

mostly because in the song, it sounds like they're saying he'd tell you the truth forever. However, he's saying he'd lie - oh yeah.

"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,
you know the runner in the night..."

and Springsteen's original line, "cut loose like a deuce" is even worse.

one of the most mis-heard song lyrics ever! either way, i always thought it reeked.

Tru M., Cleveland, Ohio — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 18:56:18 GMT

OK, everyone wants to know what “colitas” is. From “using the Google,” I see it’s a reference to the little tip of a marijuana branch, which is where the leaf is supposed to be the most potent. That’s why their warm smell rises up through the air…

“No time for the killing floor” is a reference to a floor in a slaughterhouse. And Charley isn’t imagining “Three six nine, the goose drank wine.” It’s an old schoolyard rhyme that appears in Shirley Ellis’s “The Name Game” and UB40’s “Red Red Wine.”

To CW in Santa Maria, in “Winter Wonderland” the couple is pretending their snowman is a parson. A minister. That’s why they imagine him asking them if they’re married and tell him no, but he can “do the job.”

Andy: “Run for the Roses” is about a HORSE. Why shouldn’t it have the words “wobbly knees” and “withers” in it?

“Yummy, Yummy, Yummy” was technically by The Ohio Express, but given that nearly all bubblegum songs were actually by Joey Levine, that hardly matters.

Katie: I think when Chuck Berry said Johnny B. Goode could play a guitar “like a ringin’ a bell,” he meant Johnny had a good, “ringing” guitar sound, and maybe also that he was so good that he could make playing a guitar look as easy as picking up a bell and ringing it.

Lance who apparently never did catch all the many verses of “Dead Skunk,” which is actually pretty funny.

That said, I am right on board with a lot of the choices already mentioned, but I have a few more winners to add:

Stevie Wonder: “I Just Called to Say I Love You.” His most banal lyrics next to “Ebony and Ivory.”

“Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” by Mac Davis: “Girl, you’re a hot-blooded woman-child, and it’s warm where you’re touching me.” Ewwww. TMI!!!

From the Department of Reduncancy Department, the Supremes’ “Love Is Here and Now You’re Gone”: “You persuaded me to love you and I did, but instead of tenderness I found heartbreak instead.”

For those of you who can't remember, "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I Got Love in my Tummy" was done by The 1910 Fruitgum Company, not Paul Anka (his atricity was "You're Having My Baby," not "You Got Love in Your Tummy.")

How come no one's nominated Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl"? Or is that how all of us remember how to spell "banana"?

"25 or 6 to 4" was a response to the question "What time is it?" The moral of this story: Never an incapacitated (drunk/stoned) person for the time. Chicago likes to party (and write half-decent songs about partying).

I would also like to nominate every lyric Nirvana ever wrote (it's not "deep"; it's "random words mixed together").

And who could forget this gem from NOFX's song "Drugs are Good":
"Drugs are good/They make you do things that you know you not should" (Huh?)

"Welcome to Detroit City", by Eminem (normally a gifted wordsmith). Detroit City? Is that the capital of Detroit?

"Istanbul", I think by They Might Be Giants (not positive), but I do remember the lyrics.

"Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, now Constantinople,
Been a long time gone, Constantinople,
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks."

I like the song 'cause it's somewhat infectious, but you have to admit the words themselves are pretty ridiculous. Another song from my childhood, Lock-It(I have NO idea who it's by), has some of the weirdest lines I've ever heard:
"Don't hit me so hard, my feet hurt!
Don't hit me so hard, my toes hurt!"

WTF? And lets not forget those bastions of bad 90's dances, the Macarena and the Electric Slide; both have lyrics that can potentially make you cringe.

But there's always hope, and you can find it in some of the oddest places. Linkin Park's new album, Minutes to Midnight, has some of the best music I've ever heard from them (and considering there isn't a thing they've done that I haven't liked, that's saying something). The three songs that immediately spring to mind are What I've Done, Leave Out All The Rest, and The Little Things Give You Away (written after the band visited New Orleans and witnessed firsthand the destruction brought on by Hurricane Katrina). I also find the music of the new band Red to be remarkably compelling; Breathe Into Me and Break Me Down are my favorites, but I'd also have to say their song Already Over (parts one and two) is very moving. So, no matter how silly or crazy music gets, I'm sure there will always be bands and artists out there who are trying to genuinely say something meaningful with their music.

Holy cow, what a subject! The inspidity of lyrics these days is mind-boggling. There's a song about "Virginia" in which we hear the same word rhyming with itself, not once but several times -- "Well she wants to live her life/And she thinks about her life"; also, "queen" and "president" rhyme with themselves. Doesn't anyone realize that a word cannot rhyme with itself?

The same band has another song about "drops of Jupiter" which is complete gibberish. Not a word of it means anything. There's another song called "Thank U" (thanks for the rebus instead of a title!) which talks about, among other things, "transparent dangling carrots."

Speaking of rebuses, those are common. 4 instead of "for," 2 instead of "to" or "two," U instead of "you," etc. I don't know about anyone else but I outgrew that junk in 1st grade. If people have to use rebuses in order to get attention to their music, you know it can't be very good.

I think the worst lyrics in the world are done by a little group I saw as an opening act once. They were called the Republic of Safety, and I nearly died laughing while listening to them.

"The Roaches will not survive!"

"My body is my soul,
And my body is a truck,
My body is my soul,
And I like to f..."

I'll leave the rest of that to your imagination. And I'm impressed no one mentioned Aqua. Barbie Girl is pretty bad, though I always liked the ones from their song "Roses are Red".

"The only thing you said was
Dum dee dadada, dum dee dadada, dum dee dada
And roses are red."

The last verse of Ambrosia's song "How Much I Feel" always makes my husband and me want to vomit:

"Hows your life been goin on
I've got a wife now
Years weve been goin' strong
There's just something that Ive got to say
Sometimes when we make love
I still can see your face"

So horrible!

Also, the Bee Gees:

"Love you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out"

Could that be any stupider?

And I detest the Shania Twain song about how she feels like a woman:

"Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!"

Thanks for setting women back about 50 years there, Shania.

I think Britney Spears singing "Hit me Baby, one more time" definitely deserves to be in the top 5.

Bryan Adams singing "I want to be your underwear" just grosses me out.

Any of those skeezy, stalker or pervie pedophile sounding songs like "Hey little girl, is your daddy home?", All the Gary Puckett & the Union Gap songs "young girl", "Lady willpower", or even "Vehicle" (I can't recall the band that did that one).
And I heard the new Kid Rock single on the radio the other day, there's a new jewel to add to the pile

Worst lyrics ever: My lovely lady lumps

Bill Dauphin — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 21:10:57 GMT

I’ve now at least scanned 500+ comments, and I’ve come up with a couple observations:

1. It’s absolutely pointless to say that rock and roll (by which I mean everything from folk rock to gangsta’ rap) is vulgar, nonsensical, and ungrammatical: It’s *ROCK AND ROLL*; it’s *supposed to be* vulgar, nonsensical, and ungrammatical. Especially ungrammatical.

2. Before you nominate a line for Worst. Lyrics. Evar… you ought to know what the lyrics actually are (e.g., it’s “*Blew out* my flip-flops,” not “*Put on* my flip-flops,” which makes the next line – “Stepped on a pop-top” actually make sense… as long as you can remember the days when soda cans had detachable pop-tops.).

3. Think of those nonsense syllables as *notes* rather than words; otherwise, you have to put all the great songs that have fa-la-lahs and doo-wah-diddys on the “worst ever” list, along with every jazz song that includes scat-singing.

4. Just because a poetic phrase, metaphor, or literary allusion doesn’t make sense *to you* doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense.

5. People who think “My Humps” is the apogee of vulgarity need to check out their teenagers’ iPods: Trust me, there’s stuff on there that makes “My Humps” seem *cute* by comparison.

6. Notwithstanding all these quibbles, “Honey” really is the most execrable string of words every created in the English language. 8^)

Oh, BTW: "Maggie May" is one of the greatest songs ever written, and complete redeems Rod Stewart for his many other sins.

Oh, man, this stuff is absolutely great! I just wanted to throw in my two cents:

If you like (or more appropriately, hate) many of the 60s and 70s songs mentioned here, definitely read Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs. I'm a little too young to actually appreciate how truly awful songs like "Honey" and "MacArthur Park" must have been with such insipid lyrics and getting such heavy play time, but I still think the book is hysterical. If you can read this book and NOT laugh, you may in fact be technically deceased. And Dave, if you ever read this, do another survey. Actually, come out of retirement.

The line is: I smell sex and candy here (followed by - Who's that lounging in my chair?) from Marcy Playground's "Sex and Candy" (I own this CD).

The lyrics to Eve 6's "Inside Out" go:
I would swallow my pride/I would choke on the rind/But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside/I would swallow my doubt/Turn it inside out/Find nothing but faith in nothing/I wanna put my tender heart in a blender/Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion/Rendevous now I'm through with you (I originally retrieved this one back when Napster was free and song swapping was all the rage).

Seriously, if you are going to bitch about the lyrics, at least get them right.

Ill be watching you

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind

#1: Clay Aiken, “Invisible”
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight

and then “Invisible” gets even more lame:
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

"Cornflake Girl"

Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hanging with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Givin us a yo heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And I go at sleepy time
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is

Peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword

She knows what's goin on
Seems we got a cheaper feel now
All the sweetcaze are gone
Gone to the other side
With my encyclopedia
They musta paid her a nice price
She's putting on her string bean love
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is

Peal our the watchword
Just peel out the watchword

Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution

Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl
And the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much
Thinks he knows so much
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl

Makes me want to stop working for a living and go into the songwriting business....

McArthur Park. Of all the bad songs ever written, ever, this is by far,without question the WORST! Makes me want to puke every time I hear it! I defy anyone to come up with a plausible explaination for it. Written by the devil and recorded in hell.

Oh the pain ... of searching for a rhyme when you're stoned.
"Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, ..."
from "I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After

Bees make honey? Thanks for the hot tip.

How about Chuck Berry's songs, "Once I was swimming across turtle creek, man them snappers all around my feet. Sure was hard swing across that thing, with both hands holding my DING A LING A LING!!!"

I hate T-Pain period.
But with lyrics like
"She made us drinks to drink-we drunk 'em...got drunk" in his 2007 "hit" BARTENDER
How can anyone deny this man multiple Grammy's??

Okay I absolutely adore Prince but Diamonds & Pearls..

"If I gave you Diamonds & Pearls would you be a happy boy or a girl?"

I'm sure he could come up with something better.

Thanks to those who mentioned "Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs." Being such a fan of this topic, I had to order it, and it was, indeed, very funny.

check the 2nd and 3rd verses of this, so bad. The 3rd is the worse of the 2.

Steve Miller Band-Take the Money and Run
This heres a story about billy joe and bobbie sue
Two young lovers with nothin better to do

Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, old el paso
Thats where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie sue took the money and run

Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

Billy mack is a detective down in texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He aint gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin off of the peoples taxes

Bobbie sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
Billy joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey
You know they got away
They headed down south and theyre still running today
Singin go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America--- especially th exquisite lines:
Peaches come from a can,
they were put there by a man
In a factory downtown

Hey man, let's get stoned and write a song and make a million dollars...

Bobby Goldsboro's "See The Tree How Big It's Grown "; as he sings to 'Honey'. I found out during a TV interview back in the 70's that he is singing to and about his dead pet cat named Honey which he burried under a sapling...and another song from the 60's, "Brandy" which I thought was a song about a dog turns out to be about his Fiance.

Now that I know what the real words are in "Blinded by the light" I can rest easy. I always thought it was my tin ear that caused me to misinterpret song lyrics. Reading this blog was a hoot.
