I hate that song..”Brim full of asha on the.. 45!”

Jesus tap-dancing Christ I hate that song. Here’s another sample lyric from the same song : “Everyone needs a bussom for a pillow, everyone needs a bussom.” Repeat x 10

Worst lyrics ever, in my opinion Rihanna’s unfaithful. I mean if she doesn’t want to hurt him anymore stop cheating on him. Gimme more by Britney Spears. Nickelback Figured you out, his like abusing the girl. And most of all Black Eyed Peace “My humps”

Most of the songs you sighted I agree 100% with, but the immigrant song and honey I’m home are both good songs.
Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and Shaniah ROCK!

this guy is dumb as hell. immigrant song bad lyrics? wtf?! That’s Led Zeppelin’s best lyrics…he can’t even pronounce Valhalla correctly…which obviously points that he has a lack of intelligence

Worst ever? Anything by james blunt! all he does is rearrange other peoples bad, cliche lyrics.
Other than Blunt there is allways KT Tunstal (even the mane is full of pretention ‘you spell it KATY’)! for this blinder -

‘i was tired of January, i was tired of June, i felt a change a coming…’

you can probably guess the next word so ill leave it out. No i cant resist it. the first time i heared it i found myself shouting SOON! at the radio before she had even got to that word!

I cant believe led zeppelin was on there. Almost all rap has terrible lyrics, besides some of the 80’s and 90’s rap. I cant even listen to the “popular” songs anymore, all it is is rap, r&b and emo.

U2’s lyrics in “Vertigo” is not them misunderstanding Spanish, Senor Smarty-pants. That was the beginning of their 14th album. It was actually clever to those of us who LISTEN. Dearest doof dog, there is such a thing in this world called wit. Look into it.

Worst lyric ever?

“As God has shown us by turning stone to bread” from We are the world, just because I am pretty sure no account of any God had that happen. I think they may be refferring to Jesus refusing to turn stone into bread…Or maybe it is Quincy Jones’ own religion. He was the genius behind thriller so maybe its worth following? I hear prayer meetings are minimal…

wtf led zeppelin on there?

immigrant song pwns

Rihanna-umbrella ella ella eh eh eh,(breaking a song down in sylabells[sic] is total crap. Also, jay-z’s rap at the beginning sucked too. anything else by rihanna sucks as well.

Hollaback girl- Worst song ever

Avril lavigne’s my happy ending uses lyrics that dont make sense.

Sean kingston- beatiful girls(gag)

Chris brown (is your man on the flo, if he aint let me know) go back to school

something called soulja boy(never heard it?, youre lucky)

and last, i was gonna metion lip gloss until i saw it posted so im gonna nominate “beatiful soul” by jesse mccartney, that song is just downright creepy to me.

How about a worst gag-me lyric factor?

The two that immediatly come to mind are -
“My Heart Will Go On”
“I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing”

I think ‘My heart will go on’ wins. Tyler manages to make me not throw up - barely. Thank God he didn’t write that song.

Lobo - 1973 or so “I’d love you to want me”

When I saw you standing there
I ’bout fell off my chair
When you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

It’s not hard for me to know
What you’re trying not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes

“lip gloss” by lil mama is one of the biggest pieces of garbage ever written. Here is a sample.
“what you know about me?”repeat several times. “My lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is cool,all the boys keep stoppin,they chase me after school”. Also anything by T-pain(or testicular pain) deserves to be banned forever.

Someone left the cake out in the rain.
I don’t think that I can take it,
cuz it took so long to bake it,
And I’ll never have that recipe again, Oh Nooooooooooo!

I was 17, and it was simply embarrassing.

i’m sorry but how can yall say that this is why i’m hot is a bad song…and my humps…have ya’ll ever heard of songs that were made for the club? and whoever wrote the lyrics for it, it’s Donna Karen, really, name brands kid. and also, hip hop is still thought provokin,cuz we still got luda, we still got Jay, we still got wayne, and most of the rappers put out mainstream hits on the rado so u can buy their album…yall sitting here dissin music y not write a song ya’ll selves, mad cuz yall can’t understand slang and saying hip hop ain’t thought provokin no more…pop ain’t neva made no one think but ain’t nobody mad about that

In Mean girls, i kinda like it well just the story line but here’s one 4 everyone…………

( at a party looking at her EX- boyfriend while her half friend likes him)

Regina: Why wouldn’t anyone break up with you? Your SO HOT!

Caddy: I never felt this feeling before, it felt like my ass was going to fall out my stomach like word vomit.

( later)

Janet: Regina is a bully, now Caddy, there are two kinds of peolple, people who see evil stuff going on and don’t try to stop it, or people who DO evil stuff. I need you to act as if nothing is wrong, can you do that?
Caddy: Yeah! I think so.

Janet: Great, let’s rock this bitch

Joel D. Bilbao , you do know that Soft Cell didn’t actually write Tainted Love. That was Ed Cobb for Jackie O.

U2 Elevation and Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl are awful.

Don’t forget Bon Jovi.
Cliches, only cliches.
You Give Love A Bad Name.
Livin’ On A Prayer.
Wanted Dead Or Alive.
Never Say Goodbye.
Bad Medicine.
UF

Insulting Immigrant Song is totally uncalled for. Those are some of the most awesome lyrics I’ve ever heard.

Perhaps this is a mixed-blessing. Disappointment with mass-marketed lyrical disasters that have a better effect on your stomach than a laxative brings a smile to me. I would like to extend my nomination to anything by 50 Cent.

“I’ll take you to the candy shop” - I bet you will …

“I got the magic stick” - I assure you; you do not

“This Rap shit is so easy” - Forget the last three words and you got where modern Rap is

Very, very, disappointing.

I think the problem with most lists like this is that some people can’t seem to understand the difference between:

a) bad singers (the guy from Def Leppard)
b) bad song writers (i.e, Def Leppard)
c) bad songs (most of Def Leppard’s)
d) bad lyrics (as I mentioned below).

As the title is supposed to be “worst lyrics”, that’s what the list should contain. So, yes, some of Neil Young’s LYRICS would fit. Maybe even some entire SONGS. But he is not a bad song writer.

Personally, I also think its wrong to include any pop or rap at all. Rock and folk lyrics will always been considered of higher quality because they mean more to the song.

AC/DC have some incredibly stupid lyrics. “Let Me Put My Love Into You” springs to mind.

Let me put my love into you babe.
Let me put my love on the line.
Let me put my love into you babe.
Let me cut your cake with my knife.

“All I Want Is Everything” by Def Leppard is incredibly stupid as well.

All I want is everything.
Am I asking too much?

AC/DC have some incredibly stupid lyrics. “Let Me Put My Love Into You” springs to mind.

Let me put my love into you babe.
Let me put my love on the line.
Let me put my love into you babe.
Let me cut your cake with my knife.

You are KILLING ME!

Led Zepplin John Lennon America

Are you not just listening to but understanding the words, get a dictionary

Lyrics are the writers POETRY and ART!!!!

Considering the bands above still sell their albums put out over 20 years ago the “Lyrics’ are pretty dam good.

this is why im hot, this is why im hot, this is why, this is why,this is why, im hot this is why im hot, this is why im hot, this is why, this is why, this is why im hot, im hot cuz im fly, you aint cuz u not, this is why, this is why, this is why im hot im hot cuz im fly, you aint cuz u not this is this is why, this is why, this is why im hot

can there really be anything worse than “Trapped in the Closet”, by R. Kelly?

My god.

Paris Hilton! Paris Hilton!
Anything that comes out of that girls mind is a joke!

I didn’t see it on here….no one mentioned Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard. It’s insanely bad!

Almost any lyrics are OK (i.e. entertaining) if you’ve ingested enough of the appropriate substances…

A lot of lyrics exist just to give the singer something to do with his/her mouth. Just ask Michael Stipe. Who knows whether they’re any good?

I don’t know what the worst lyrics ever are but the worst insanely popular lyricist of the last 20 years is definitely Lenny Kravitz. His songs get by on the energy of the music but the lyrics are embarassing.

1st thing to the dimwit that said ” anything by Neil young’, take your Brittney Spears CD & shove it in your Pie hole. Okay , how about ” There’s a World you’re living in, take it in & Blow Hard”, opps that’s Neil, he’s still one of the best Lyricist of the 20th century, it’s all in the context, you can’t unscramble a Egg & call it a chicken!

Anything by Nickelback “yeah yeah…yeah yeah,..oh yeah”

Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well it’s a brimful of Asha on the 45
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well it’s a brimful of Asha on the 45

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom

stxyx mr. roboto yeah and also the funniest/dumbest lyrics even written

Some the worst lyrics I have the misfortune of hearing are of Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love,” Black-Eyed Peas’ “My Hump,” Madonna’s “Die Another Day,” Eminem’s “Without Me,” and Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend.” We sometimes burn books. Sometimes we delete files. We should burn the master tapes of these God-awful songs.

Isn’t this sort of a moot point - songs tend to be ear-candy with no intended deeper meaning or they are written to have more than one meaning for the listener. Besides that, almost any lyric can sound pretty ridiculous when taken out of context.

what about porcupine pie by neil diamond

“porcupine pie, porcupine pie… better eat it with a glove or your hand’ll turn green”

oh come on - you can´t seriously think that the lyrics for “fly away” are the worst EVER! Where do you get off?

U2’s Some Days Are Better Than Others

Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you’re quick, but most days you’re speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others

Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can’t stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you’re a brother
Some days are better than others

Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won’t let you in

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you’re thankful for what you’ve got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it’s the enemy

Some days are work, most days you’re lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin’ for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others

Some days you feel ahead
You’re making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place

This topic is a fraud if there is no mention of LFO’s “Summer Girls.” “When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet/Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets.” Or, how about “I’ll steal your honey like I stole your bike.” Top that!

Corey Hart ‘Boy in the Box’ is Bad but this is Badder! I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave
Then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While she’s deceiving me
It cuts my security
Has she got control of me
I turn to her and say

Don’t switch the blade
On the guy in shades, oh-no
Don’t masquerade
With the guy in shades, oh-no
I can’t believe it
‘Cause you got it made
With the guy in shades, oh-no

What has happened to this magazine? You used to talk INTELLIGENTLY about music (kinda) and now your a liberal, propaganda spewing magazine, that craps on Led Zeppelin (the greatest of hard rock bands) and gives Byran Adams praise and Fall Out Boy (Angry teenager cry baby MUSIC) rave reviews. Where are their RETARTED lyrics?

Fall Out Boy:
We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

LOL…..I guess whiny music and sub par ANYTHING is what Liberals like anyways.

“Telephone Call from Istanbul”

“Never trust a man in a Blue Trenchcoat …. Never drive a car when your Dead”

Tom Waits

I’m still sticking with my Elton John attrocity (”If I were a sculptor….But then again…No”, which I have said for years is the most false lyric ever written. I occasionally try to say it believably in conversation as a sort of acting exercise, and I don’t think it can be done.), but there are some pretty strong contenders further down the list. The Rush lyrics submitted are particularly compelling. I think I had blocked them out of my mind like a horrific, traumatizing, violent event.

I don’t see the point of attacking hip hop lyrics that aren’t pretentious. They might be dopey, but they’re just playing. And Neil Diamond is getting unfairly attacked. He’s old and dorky, but he’s a good songwriter. Someone cited “and no on heard at all, not even the chair” as evidence that he thinks chairs can talk. Still trying to work out the logic there. (I’m pretty sure it implies that chairs can’t hear.)

only kidding the beatles are great and i have been to strawberry hill

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn’t matter much to me.
Let me take you down, ‘cos I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

HOW HAS NO ONE MENTIONED “THIS IS WHY IM HOT” BY MIMS?

and i quote….

This is why I’m hot(x2)
This is why(x2) uh
This is why I’m hot (uh)
This is why I’m hot(x2) whoo
This is why(x2)
This is why I’m hot

I’m hot coz I’m fly (fly)
You ain’t coz you’re not (mims)
This is why x2
This is why I’m hot(x2)

Verse 1:

This is why I’m hot
I dont gotta rap
I can sell a mill sell you nothing on the track
I represent New York
I got it on my back
And they say that we lost it
So I’mma bring it back
I love the dirty dirty
Coz niggas show me love
The ladies start to bounce
As soon as I hit the club
But in the Midwest
They love to take it slow
So when I hit the H
I watch you get it on the floor
And if you needed hyphy
I take it to the bay
Frisco to Sac town
They do it eryday
Coppin a Hollywood
As soon as I hit LA
I’m in that low low
I do it the cali way
And when I hit the Chi
People say that I’m fly
They like the way I dress they like (they like my) my attire
move crowds from side to side
They ask me how I do it and simply I reply

(Chorus)

Verse 2:
This is why I’m hot
Catch me on the block
Every other day
Another bitch another drop
16 bars, 24 pop
44 songs, nigga gimme what you got
I’m in there driving cars
Push them off the lot
I’m into shutting stores down so I can shop
If you need a bird I can get it chopped
Tell ne what you need you know I get ‘em by the flock
I call my hommie black meet me on the ave
I hit wash heights with the money in the bag
we into big spinners
See my pimping never dragged
Find me with different women that you niggas never had
For those who say they know me know I’m focused on my cream
Playa you come between you’d better focus on the beam
I keep it so feen the way you see me lean
And when I say I’m hot my nigga this is what I mean

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
This is why I’m hot
Shorty see the drop
Ask me what I paid and I say yeah I paid a ?quap?
And then I hit the switch that take away the top
So chicks around the way they call me cream of the crop
They hop in the car
I tell them all about
We hit the studio they say they like the way I record
I gave you black train and I did you wrong
So everytime I see them and they tell me that’s their song
They say I’m the bomb
They love the way the charm hanging from the neck
And compliments the arm which compliments the ear then comes the gear
So when I hit the room the shorties stop and stare
Then niggas start to hate rearrange their face
Little do they know I keep them things by waistside
I reply nobody gotta die
Similar to lil wiz coz I got the fire
(Chorus)

who are the people that are suddenly coming up with these “worst lyric lists” these are hardly the worst of the worst and who is the old fat bald guy reading the list? i think any lyric read by this guy would not sound good.

‘Avalanche’ by Stevie nicks, great song but ” I saw my reflection in the snow cover hill” obviouse drug reference . How about ” Drug Themes ” or references in songs that are really tacky as the next Poll?

” Groiss as in Henry Gross who wrote ‘Shannon”, Brilliant!

Very ‘Gross’, touche Holly. You must ” like Yoga, and have half a Brain’, no offence intended

What a gross set of lyrics..how trashy

Rush, Led Zep & Doors songs are lyrics’s & Music fused, U can’t separate a Scrambled egg & call it a chicken!! Ok My nomination is “Shannon ” a song about a dog, I named my Dog after it, & do have a sentimental luv 4 it but listen to this! “Shannon is gone
I hope she’s drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she’ll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard !” The Contest is over, if you’re not into yoga, & have half a brain, I will except the Worst Song Lyrics prize now
Thank You, Calgary, Canada

Once there was this girl who

Wouldn’t go and change with the girls in the change room

But when they finally made her

They saw birthmarks all over her body

She couldn’t quite explain it

They’d always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

maybe someone remembers this classic:

“Is Sheniqua there? HELL NO! Sheniqua don’t live here no more!”

I read it in the papers, I saw it on TV
I guess there’ll be one empty seat when I wrestle at Wimbely
I used to tear my shirt, but now you’ve torn my heart
I knew you were a Hulkamaniac right from the very start

CHORUS:
You were my friend
I’ll see you again
When the Hulkster comes to Heaven
We’ll tag up again
The world just lost another Hulkamaniac
I wish Hulk’s love could bring you back again
You were my friend
I’ll see you again

When I climb back in the ring, you know I’ll win this fight
I wish you were here at ringside to cheer me on tonight
The spotlight now grows dim, and now it’s not on me
The prayers we said together are still our guarantee

ANYTHING by Avril Lavigne…

“Hey hey

I dont like your girlfriend
No way

I think you need a new one
Okay
Okay

Uh huh, thats the way it is (x2)
La… la la la la (Uh huh)”

I’m With You
“Yeah-yah yeah, yea-yah, yeah-yah, yeah-yah, yahhhhhh-uhuhhhh”

Neil Diamond’s “Desiree” announces itself as one of the most pathetic lyrical turds ever unleashed on the American population with the immortal words “It was the third of June,
On that summer’s day…”
Um, Neil, summer begins on the 21st of June, no?
Trust me, it just gets worse from there:
“…When I became a man
At the hands of a girl almost twice my age”
Yikes.
Sorry Neil, I gotta tune out right now. I’m just too emotionally fragile to endure the mental picture of you poppin’ your cherry. Thank you, I need a shower now.

By horse, by rail, by land, by sea, our journey starts
Two men incensed by one man’s journey from the past
In Iceland, where the mountain stood with pride
They set off with their guide
To reach the mountain side

Roped as one for safety through the long descent
Into the crater of volcanic rock they went
Look up from our telescopic laair,
One star for us to share,
We continue on our prayer.

Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears,
Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries.

Rick Wakeman. Journey To The Centre Of The Earth. And it just keeps getting better.

” Im drinkning a soy-latte
I getta double Shottay
it goes right through my body and you know im satisfied”

worst f*cking lyrics ever written anywhere ever bar none even the hulk hogan lyrics quoted by fynondor are no match for that, they are close but F*CK ME THAT WAS BAD, also anything avril lavigne (little miss stage prescence) has ever contributed to should be included, watched an interview on mtv where she says that she wrote the chorus to “girlfriend” (shudder) in “liek 5 minutes”.. i got a newsflash for you

“YOU CAN F*CKING TELL”

gdiaf kthx

To the guy who said Sting is a lyrical genius: my friend, you are daft beyond repair. He and Ed K. from Live are the most pretentious (yet empty-headed) twits ever unleashed on the world of music. That Sting has been so encouraged by success is one of the great crimes of popular music. The “literary allusions” he drops into his songs, the deliberately archaic titles, and the convoluted “poetic” phrasing he uses, which seem to impress you so, are transparent window-dressing. Any half-bright teenager can write lyrics that sound “poetic.” But if you can tell the difference between pretentious, self-congratulatory claptrap and actual poetry, it’s painful to endure the fake stuff.

I love the idea that if you graduate from a respected school you are magically prevented from writing crap lyrics. I also love the idea that if a song is “about something,” then its lyrics can’t be bad (like Nickelback or MCR–who, by the way are not punk, poor, sheltered child).

I mentioned Live–they deserve some piling-on:

love will lead us, alright
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it’s in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us

life is like a shooting star
it don’t matter who you are
if you only run for cover, it’s just a waste of time
we are lost ’til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over

or:

this is not a black and white world
you can’t afford to believe in your side
this is not a black and white world
to be alive
I say that the colors must swirl
and I believe
that maybe today
we will all get to appreciate
the beauty of gray

Oh, when will the world realize that Live has all the answers?

“It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife” - Alanis Morissete

“Only time will tell if we stand the test of time!” - Van Halen

did barry say that nickelback has amazing lyrics? Barry go bedtime now come back when you turn eight

Fergie - London Bridge
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl
The Black Eyed Peas - My Humps
Paris Hilton - Turn It Up
Black Eyed Peas - Let’s Get Retarded

…

Pretty much all of the Black Eyed Peas lyrics are horrid.

U2 starting “Vertigo” with “Uno, dos, tres, catorce” meaning “1,2,3,14″ and any Nickelback cock rock

How stupid!! Sting read “A” book. Sting graduated from none other than…Oxford University! Ummm, isn’t that like THE premier university in the world, particularly for English Lit?! (Yes, I know Nabokov is Russian) Many of the older Police songs make literary allusions. Politically, Sting is a moron; lyrically, he’s genius.

Worst:

anything by Justin–doesn’t matter what the words are, this guy’s whiny falsetto could kill any song.

“I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that.”–do what meatloaf? Lose 50 lbs? Write interesting lyrics?

Anything by Neil Young

Madonna! Angel’s chorus is typical of her songs, just repeating a line twice and adding a kicker.
“Oooh you’re an angel
Oooh you’re an angel
Oooh you’re an angel
In disguise, I can see it in your eyes”
And lest we foget:

“I don’t like cities, but I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London, baby you can keep”

“She’s like, so whatever.”-Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend”

“If the light is off, then it isn’t on.”-Hilary Duff’s “So Yesterday”

“You make me wanna La La.”-Ashlee Simpson’s (wait for it…”La La”)

Yeah…

“Chug All Night” by the Eagles

I believe we can chug all night
I believe we can hug all night
The band is loose and the groove is right
You’re so much woman
I believe we can chug all night

We’re gonna do a little chuggin’
We’re gonna do a little huggin’

“we built this city” insipid lyrics for sure…

“you drive me crazy” fine young cannibals…

“maxwell’s silver hammer” the beatles… a hot, steamy turd on an otherwise classic record abbey road

ewww :s

Avril and Nickleback are bad and oh I forgot about eddie murphy making music yeesh. Also agree the music can make a song good even if the lyrics blow. See almost all rap songs and 80s stuff for the worst. Lest we forget MJ’s “I’m bad, I’m bad, you know it, you know cuz blah blah blah blah blah I’m bad!”

“You’re Having My Baby”
by Paul Anka

Havin’ my baby
What a lovely way of sayin’
How much you love me
Havin’ my baby
What a lovely way of sayin’
What you’re thinkin’ of me
The need inside you
I see it showin’
Whoa, the seed inside ya
Baby, do you feel it growin’
Are you happy you know it
That you’re

[Both:]
Havin’ my baby

[Odia:]
I’m a woman in love
And I love what it’s doin’ to me

[Both:]
Havin’ my baby

[Odia:]
I’m a woman in love
And I love what’s goin’ through me

[Paul:]
Didn’t have to keep it
Wouldn’t put ya through it
You could have swept it from you life
But you wouldn’t do it
No, you wouldn’t do it

[scratch your eyes out here…]

Mr Chevelle is correct that sometimes the lyrics are not intended to be read out of the context of the song. When John lennon wrote “I am the Walrus” for the Beatles he said that he put together a crazy mixture of images that were not to have any real meaning. The images and the music worked very well together and many people love that song. Then on:”The Beatles” you have the perfectly crazy little ditty: “Honey Pie”. I must admit that I have been listening to the recordings of the band YES for years and in some cases have no clue where Jon Anderson is going with the lyrics. However, they create a really powerful atmosphere and imagry that blends with the music wonderfully. It is all in the total context of the song that the lyrica should be seen.

“If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass us by?”

What?

“I’d walk a thousand miles if I could just see you tonight.”

Well you better get moving because a thousand miles is a pretty long way to walk in less than a day.

Vanessa Carlton, lyrical genius.

“If I were a sculptor…but then again, no…” Elton John

Honorable mention to the entire song “Sad Songs” and to every word ever written by Dave Matthews. I’d look some up, but it would just be too painful

P.S.: I actually think a lot of the lyrics others, including RS, listed are good. A lyric can only be so bad if the lyricist is just having fun and not taking himself too seriously. To be truly offensive, it has to be clear that they think they’re rhapsodizing.

The song “Brimstone and Fire” by Cyndi Lauper comes to mind, with this lyric:

“Now we have dinner every Saturday
I make spagetti, she brings cake
I make spagetti with tomato sauce
Because that’s all I can make”

is there gas in the car yes there’s gas in the car

Neil Diamond -”I Am I Said”

“no one heard at all not even the chair”

usually people who think that chairs can talk are sent away to the funny farm.

I would like to nominate one of Brian Hyland’s contributions to the earworm phenomenon: one Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini.

She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see

One, two, three, four
Tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the locker she wanted to stay

One, two, three, four
Stick around, we’ll tell you more

She was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around her she wore
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so she sat bundled up on the shore

One, two, three, four
Tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the blanket she wanted to stay

One, two, three, four
Stick around, we’ll tell you more

Now she’s afraid to come of the water
And I wonder what she’s gonna do
Now she’s afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl’s turnin blue

One, two, three, four
Tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the water she wanted to stay

One, two, three, four
Stick around, we’ll tell you more

From the locker to the blanket
From the blanket to the shore
From the shore to the water
Guess there isn’t any more

“You make me feel like dancing (gonna dance the night away)”.

Speaking of one single line that just totally grates for some reason, for me it is

-New Radicals
“someday we’ll know, why the sky is blue”

Um, we know now why that is. You can look it up. Just order some encyclopedias. You know, it would be a nice thing to have anyway

Vin Diesel is a fool. Did he even look at the lyrics for Hinder’s “Lips of an Angel” or “Photograph” by Nickelback. Lips of an Angel is about a couple who has already broken up and one person is trying to move on but the other hasn’t. Photograph is about looking back at your high school years and remembering. Most of Linkin Park’s stuff is about the thought of loneliness and I can be honest that if you want to look at something from Nickelback and criticize it, look at “Rockstar.” Again, Nickelback has some amazing lyrics.

This is why I’m hot is horrid. So is Starship’s We Built This City.

MacArthur Park has lousy lyrics, and London Bridge by Fergie makes me wanna puke, but no worst lyrics list if complete without the magic that Lindsey Buckinghams lyrics add to the Fleetwood Mac song Family Man. Brace for impact:

Walk down this road
When the road gets rough
I fall down
I get up
I am what I am…
A family man
I am what I am…
A family man
Mother… father… brother…
Mother… father… brother…
Walk down this road
In the cool of the night
Don’t know what’s wrong
But I do know what’s right
I am what I am…
A family man
I am what I am…
A family man
Mother… father… brother…
Mother… father… brother…
I am what I am…
A family man
I am what I am…
A family man
Mother… father… brother…
Mother… father… brother…

THAT is bad.

I don’t like her, but it’s Sha Ny A, not Shayna, and her song was a good interperation of what most working women do. And last but not least how dare you say that a Led Zeppelin Song is dumb lyrics. I’d like to see that stupid office nerd write lyrics as mystical as Robert Plant.

don’t worry, be happy

hey.. spoonman and the immigrant song are two songs that I really like man.. its cool that you made fun of them.. but there are some songs on the radio right now that I think have THE WORST LYRICS EVER — millions of times worse. Emo, not intellectuo ha ha ha

How about “Monster Mash” !!!

KISS - Dr. Love

You need my love baby, oh so bad
You’re not the only one I’ve ever had

Artist: Powerman 5000 Lyrics
Song: Bombshell Lyrics
Chorus:
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, this is out of control
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, (get gone)

Now look who’s coming, yeah, look who’s back
Quick, drop the bombshell straight to the track
21st century killing machine
Burnt on the inside, a five-headed team
Now I’m not the same because you’re not the same
And you’re not the same because I’m not the same
And we’re not the same this could never be the same
And we just want to survive

:Chorus:

Now you want to save us and you want it all
And you want the trasmit because you want the call
And you want the one that makes the worlds the collide
But since that has happened it has grown twice inside

(I’m not the same)

:Chorus:

Get up, get up (drop the bombshell)

:Chorus:

(everybo dy should drop the bomb)

Yeah!

Toto’s “Africa”

the line that goes:
“Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti”.

“I GOT,2 tickets to paradise”

anyone that thinks the lyrics to Spoonman are bad, or THE WORST EVER should honestly shoot them selves. especially if they WORK at a music magazine. if rollingstone goes under, that will just be one of the best examples of why.

the worst lyrics are ANY song by Ice Cube. that kid must be a retard, nevermind all the morons that buy his music.

SPOONMAN?!?
keep in mind when listening to that song that its about “spoonman” who is a street performer up here in seattle and you can hear him playing in the background of the song.

lyrics aren’t bad people just have no idea what they’re about

“Snot is running down his nose”

(from Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung”)
UGH.

“I would do anything for love,
but I won’t DO THAT!” .

Two things…

If most of you would go ahead and look up the origins of some of the lyrics you mentioned, you’d realize that they make sense. And therefore, are far from “awful”. Example: “Unter, glieben, glocken, globen” was just some spoken nonsense instead of simply going “1,2,3,4″. It definately wasn’t meant to be serious.

And second…Janie Lane made millions off of those horrible “Cherry Pie” lyrics. So how about we commend these musicians for writing great and/or popular songs without having to get all poetry-like?

RUSH—

“Net boy, net girl,
Send your signal
’round the world.

Let your fingers walk and talk,
And set you freeeee.”

“Cat scratch fever”

New Radicals - Someday We’ll Know
Just a few gems:

Whatever happened to Emelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the titanic cry

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries

Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you
Someday we’ll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I’ll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask god just one question
Why aren’t you here with me

T-Bone by Neil Young from the “Trans” album!

CORRECTION: T-Bone is off the 1981 Album “Reactor”, the predecessor to “Trans”

Stand in the place where you live.

All I really know is the day I heard Lil Jon “Oh Skee SKee SKee”
I realized life was over…. I was 21

Glad someone has posted some Def Leppard. Their entire opus, along with their very name, should be in the Hall of Shame, but mostly for “Are you getting it? Armageddon it!”

BTW, the Bangles song was actually written by Prince, who should be awarded a special Lifetime Achievement Award for anything that uses “u” as “you”, and “2″ for “two”.

“Thank you very much-o Mr. Roboto” - Styx

(The entire song is an abomination)

“I’m madly in anger with you” - Metallica (St. Anger)

“Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo,
Come on mama, light my fuse.
Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo,
Truck on out and spread the news.”

“You don’t have to read my mind
To know what I have in mind
I want to know
What you’re doing after the show”

“I am the Lizard King
I can do anything”

“Some win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues”

“TNT, I’m a power load
TNT, watch me explode”

“I am the walrus, goo goo ga joob”

“She’s young now, she’s wild now, she wants to be free
Got the magic power of the music from me”

“Love, love me do
You know I love you
I’ll always be true
So please love me do”

“All that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight”

“Unter glieben glocken globen”

“Rising from the grave
Kills the people he once saved”

“One day love will find you
Break those chains that bind you”

“I can’t fight this feeling any more
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
It’s time to bring this ship in to the shore
And throw away the oar
Forever”

“We’re an American band
We’re an American band
We’re coming to your town
We’ll help you party down
We’re an American band”

“Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan”

Absolutely moronic!

Rollin by LB is pretty bad…

Ladies and gentlement
Chocolate Starfish

Move in, now move out

Before you know I can’t help it
You know what I wanna do

Ain’t a good idea
Cuz I’mma want you now and here
The way that you shake it on me
Makes me want you so bad sexually
Oh girl

Are You Jimmy Ray? - Jimmy Ray
So bad, it’s bad

Anything by Asia — especially “Heat of the Moment”… it starts off bad enough, but then, inspiration —

“Remember when we used to dance, and incidents arose from circumstance”

Who in their right mind is gonna take credit for that???

i love this rant

jkl;jkl;jkl;jkl;rg

or any song by the beatles…cause they rape.

how about any song by journey

how about the one that goes:

i am greg of the hill people
bow down to me.
i am greg of the hill people
to be or not to be.

Undercover Angel by Alan O’Day

Cryin’ on my pillow
Lonely in my bed
Then I heard a voice beside me
And she softly said
“Thunder is your night light”
“Magic is your dream”
And as I held her
She said, “See what I mean”

I said “Whaaaat”
She said “Ooo-ooo-ooo-wee”
I said “All right”
She said “Love me, love me, love me”

She’s my cherry pie. cool drink of water…oh jeesh I can’t do it

Natalie Umbruglia, “Smoke”

my lullaby, hung out to dry, what’s up with that?
its over, where are you dad, mum’s looking bad, what’s up with that?
it’s dark in here, why bleeding is breathing, you’re hiding underneath the smoke in the room, try bleeding is believing
i used to, my mouth is dry, forgot how to cry, what’s up with that.

(ad nauseum)

T-Bone by Neil Young from the “Trans” album!

when one says MCR lyrics , MCR fans get annoyed and say others understand nothing ,if one say Zeppelin, Zeppelin fans do so ! if one say John Lennon most say ” oh he is a legend his songs shouldnt be on the list”

what are you talking about all musicians or bands have bad songs even legends!

MacArthur Park.
Cake in the rain.
’nuff said.

I’m going to have to vote for Daft Punk’s “Around the World”, most repetitive song ever:
Around the world, around the world

Around the world, around the world

Christina Aguilera - Candyman
every word is just a hint to sex
just boring and stupid

I’m sorry Zeppelin lovers, but the worst lyrics of all time? “Stairway to Heaven.”

They’re the worst because the music is so memorable, while the words are moronic. If you write a song that great, take the time to put down the bong and write some decent lyrics.

“Bustle in your hedgerow” my ass.

nuff said.

It’s so damn catchy though.

Love Hurts was written by Roy Orbison. Don’t blame Nazareth.

Who’s Johnny
She Said
And Smiled in her Special Way
Who’s Johnny
She Said
You know I love you.

How can that lose?

Whoever said “Call Me Al”…shame on you. That song is fantastic.

I know Creed has been mentioned, but once again:
“Above all the others we’ll fly
This brings tears to my eyes
My sacrifice”
And need I mention “With Arms Wide Open”?

The subject is the worst lyrics. A song can have terrible lyrics but be a good song. It can have no lyrics and be a good song. Some songs can be improved by changing the lyrics (See Weird Al).

Anyone who says Bob Dylan had the worst lyrics needs to go back to kindergarten. His singing was pretty bad, but his lyrics were fine.

You hate Dylan? Cool. I hate Elvis. But his lyrics weren’t terrible, either.

“Whiskey in the Jar” by Metallica? Oh, you mean by Irish folk singers since forever. Blame them. If you want to dog Metallica for bad lyrics, try: “Through the Never”

The Immigrant Song has bad lyrics. But it’s a great song.

“All the things she said” by Tatu has fine lyrics. Before it was translated to English. See also “99 Red Balloons” by Nena.

A song can have the worst lyrics in the world, but if it’s a good song, it’s a good song. A song with bad music can have the deepest lyrics. When they both match, you get a classic.

Any other questions?

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Hallelujah

What was that Handel guy thinking?

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Hallelujah

What was that Handel guy thinking?

Africa by Toto;
I don’t need to say anything more

“Walk the Dinosaur” by Was (Not Was)

Boom boom acka-lacka lacka boom
Boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
Boom boom acka-lacka lacka boom
Boom boom acka-lacka boom boom

It was a night like this forty million years ago
I lit a cigarette, picked up a monkey skull to go
The sun was spitting fire, the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired, so I watched Miami Vice

The Buoys “Timothy”. Just plain creepy.

What’s this crap about not being able to RIP Zepplin … Presence and In Through the Out Door were crappy albums … they’re not untouchable … so all you “Male Groupies” can Blow Yourselves … even though you’d rather Blow Plant & Page

Ok, so RS hates zeppelin.. whatever.. but how could you forget MF’n Triumph..

–
Somebody’s out there, somewhere
Waiting for someone to come their way
Somebody’s out there, somewhere
I will somehow be somebody’s someone, someday

Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice

All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don’t know
Turn off the lights and I’ll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle

The whole dang song is hilarious!

Oh yeah, and that one song by Seether, “Broken” I think it was… “’cause I’m broken/when I’m lonesome/and I don’t feel right/when you’re far away…” It just sounds like it was stolen from an acne-scarred teenage goth girl’s diary, an effect only amplified by Amy Lee’s overly-emotive backing vocal

mims-this is why im hot
fergie-all songs
black eyed peas-my humps
Yung Joc-Its Goin Down
Lips of an Angel-Hinder

I am amazed that anyone would put any Rush song in a worst lyrics conversation. For one thing, you can’t take four lines of lyrics out of context of any song and say that they are awful or don’t make sense. Also, though Neil Peart’s lyrics may not always make sense immediately, if you THINK about them for a while, their meaning will come. I’d love to hear anyone try to diss the lyrics to 2112 or The Spirit of Radio or Freewill.

How about Bruce Cockburn’s…

If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
I’d make somebody pay.

Rush - Tom Sawyer

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today’s Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

With all that meat hangin girl i feel like a butcher
Just wanna chop you up and cut ya
Got the whole place schemin like a hustler
With that beautiful skin the color of muster

This is so retarded. How dare they defile the mighty Zep like that? Plant and Paige should come forth and smite their asses with the mighty seal club of rock! Oh, and the most annoying lyrics is that police song “SOS” where they say, “I’ll send an S.O.S….”

Rick Springfield! “I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute I’d like to tell her that I love her BUT THE POINT IS PROBABLY MOOT”

These two will ruin just about anyone’s day:

Bangles: “It’s another manic Monday / I wish it was Sunday / ‘Cuz that’s my funday”

Supertramp: “C’mon you little fighter / No need to get uptighter”

Hey Jordan Lund: it’s
Mares eat oats and
does eat oats and
little lambs eat ivy.
A kid’ll eat ivy too,
wouldn’t you?

(Still doesn’t make any sense)

putting any led zeppelin song on this list is a crime. you people are worthless and pathetic, you can’t even pronounce basic words right. somebody should fire that old POS reading those lyrics and anyone else who collaborated on the making of this list.

let’s put the x in sex. love’s like a muscle and you make me wanna flex.

yum.

“I’m as serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer”

Take a listen to 88 Lines About 44 Women by The Nails. Now that’s some lyrical juggling. Not best lyrics ever, but a good example of the right stuff…

I seriously dislike the Finger Eleven song that is super repetitive and was so over played on the radio..”One Thing” I think. Also, that Tim McGraw/Nelly song “Over and Over Again” was just as lyrically terrible. As for those two who said MCR was terrible, I have a feeling they just put them there because they are considered a “punk/emo” band and they commenters seem to have a distaste for those sorts, also listing Hawthorne Heights and Fall OUt Boy. Well, if you take a listen to MCR’s lyrics and find the deeper meanings, you’ll find they are quite fascinating and that some are -gasp- uplifting…not so emo, huh? I’ll be the first to say Hawthorne Hights isn’t a great band, but MCR is entirely different. They try to create a different sound, incorporate more into their songs than some of the other more popular “punk” bands. They are literally the only “punk” band I enjoy.

Okay, seriously. ANYTHING R. Kelly sings is complete crap.
Especially Trapped in the Closet. That was just messed up.
But Ignition Remix? Holy GOD GAG ME.
“this is the remix to ignition
hot and fresh out the kitchen
mama rollin that body
got evey man in her wishin
sippin on coke and rum
I’m like so what im drunk”

I agree wholeheartedly with the person below me who mentioned “This Is Why I’m Hot” by Mims. I wish the rap wars would start up again so that Mims could get clapped, then maybe hip-hop would start getting thought-provoking again.

“…and you can call me betty,
and betty when you call me you can call-me-Aaaaal”

The Immigrant Song is one of Zeppelin’s most powerfully lyricized songs. Don’t read the words, listen to how he sings them. You can’t just say “Ah-hah” in place of the awesome sound Plant makes throughout that song. I can’t beleive that was placed next to dumps like a truck truck truck.

And as for losing the girlfriend to gollum in Zeppelin’s Ramble On, the lyrics actually go “then Gollum and the Evil One crept up and slipped away with her…” and it’s not the only Lord of the Rings reference Zeppelin’s had. The entire Misty Mountain Hop song is about slipping into the world of Middle Earth while hanging out in a park for an afternoon. The gollum Plant sings about isn’t the comical Andy Serkis, who I admittedly love from the great LOTR movies, but the creature from the books that reinvented the fantasy genre and blew the entire world away with it’s almost incomprehensibly large and imaginative scope. Those books had a huge impact on peoples lives when they can out. People like the members of Led Zeppelin. Hell they’re still inspiring the young and old today, movies or no. The line about Gollum stealing a girlfriend comes from a time that too few people see for it’s greatness compared to the Nickelback of a culture we find ourselves in today.

Let me show u the worst number one song ever on the bilboard charts history

Here’s just alittle from Mim’s “This Is Why I’m Hot”

This is why I’m hot(x2)
This is why(x2) uh
This is why I’m hot (uh)
This is why I’m hot(x2) whoo
This is why(x2)
This is why I’m hot

I’m hot coz I’m fly (fly)
You ain’t coz you’re not (mims)
This is why x2
This is why I’m hot(x2)

This is why I’m hot
Catch me on the block
Every other day
Another bitch another drop
16 bars, 24 pop
44 songs, nigga gimme what you got
I’m in there driving cars

This is why I’m hot
I dont gotta rap
I can sell a mill sell you nothing on the track

Oh really Mims you can sell a million making a track with nothing on it hmm and while ur at it maybe u can sell a mill making a decent track with actual decent lyrics maybe you should try that for a change

also, to be fair- bastardization of the language can be clever and brilliant. Let’s look at Dylan with ‘Don’t Think Twice’:

It ain’t no use in turnin’ on you light, babe A light I never knowed It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe I’m on the dark side of the road

* as for all the bad punnery - there are only six seconds written that weren’t about sex. So, folks gotta get creative with the language.

Whoa oh here she comes,
watch out boy she’ll chew you up.

read dave berrys book of bad songs. every last song you need to know is in there. i promise.

my bad lyric song?
“i am i said” neil diamond

“come with me” P-Diddy,
what was Jimmy Page thinking by letting him use the music to Kashmir.

Up in the gym just a workin on my fitness… Fergilicious

Now that is cheesy

How any any forget this gem by Lover boy?

“Working for the weekend:

Everybody’s working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

Firstly - to clarify regarding the Metallica comment ‘whack for my daddy-0′ That is a several hundred year old Irish folk song. Some of the weird chorus is (I think) Gaelic.

Secondly - you people are piling on Nickelback, which I think is great. I don’t listen to their music, because I can’t stand that over emotive pathos faking weasel of a singer

Thirdly - my prize goes to Jackson Browne for phoning this one in:

Open the door, baby turn on the light
We’re gonna have a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker

I’ve got a shirt so unbelievably bright
I’m gonna dig it out and wear it tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

Here comes Ricky, Danny, and Doerge
They got Petie’s number and they’re looking at me
Russell and Bobby setting up the drums
Gonna pound on ’till the landlord comes
Don’t want to argue, I don’t want to fight
But there will definitely be a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker
For a rocker

********* I don’t care if he ghost wrote half the Eagles albums, dude should be arrested for assault. For a Rocker? Jesus, Jackson, go write for Nickelback!

“ain’t nothin’ changed but the linens”

-P Diddy

“de do do do de da da da” from
the POLice, the line that goes:
..de do do do de da da da..

marconi didn’t invent the radio. Tesla did

How about Van Halen’s “Only time will tell if we stand the test of time”?

Tony Parker’s latest song “Balance toi”(that’s french).i think it should be better for him to go work his 3pts shot than rapping silly lyrics!Go Pistons!

Simon, re: Nabokov

You apparently don’t understand the reference.
