The worst lyrics in a song?

After hearing the dreadful Des'ree song called life, i was wondering what you thought were the worst lyrics in a song. For those who thankfully have never heard this awful song here are the lyrics in full.

LIFE

Chorus:

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,

doo, doot doot dooo.

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,

doo, doot dooo

I'm afraid of the dark,

'specially when I'm in a park

And there's no-one else around,

Ooh, I get the shivers

I don't want to see a ghost,

It's a sight that I fear most

I'd rather have a piece of toast

And watch the evening news

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm a superstitious girl,

I'm the worst in the world

Never walk under ladders,

I keep a rabbit's tail

I'll take you up on a dare,

Anytime, anywhere

Name the place, I'll be there,

Bungee jumping, I don't care!

(Repeat Chorus)

life, doo, doot dooo

doo, doot dooo

So after all is said and done

I know I'm not the only one

Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to

Sometimes living out your dreams,

Ain't as easy as it seems

You wanna fly around the world,

In a beautiful balloon

(Repeat Chorus)

I think that the worst lyrics have to be from Mario's 'Let Me Love You'

It's all nice and loved up:-

"If I was ya man (baby you)

Never worry bout (what I do)

I'd be coming home (back to you)"

And then he says:-

"Every night, doin' you right"

Yeah,coz she well wants you now. You must really love her to 'Do Her'. Lol.

Without question the worst lyrics are from Total Eclipse of the Heart.

For a start the title is medically impossible so she gets off to a bad start. How many times does she "turn around" and it cant be every now and then if you say that phrase about 20 shagging times.

Every now and then its every damn verse you poodle haired croaky voiced daft bint and dont even mention the video.

dunblane, stirling

Your love for me is not debatable

Your sexual appetite's insatiable

You never ever make me waitable

Delectable, inflatable you.

You don't have problems with your weight at all

You never steal food off my plate at all

I never have to masturbate at all

Unstoppable, inflatable you.

You never seem to menstruate at all

So you're not angry when I'm late at all

I feel permanently felatable

Unpoppable, inflatable you.

With you in my arms I feel we could just fly away

With the right kind of gas I might even try it some day

In this ocean of life I'm never afraid we might drown

We could just float forever whatever the weather

Whenever my inflatable lover's around.

Your thighs and buttocks are so holdable

You always do what you are toldable

And if we argue you just foldable

Controllable consolable you.

My mates all reckon you are suitable

I took you around to watch the footable

And Steve and Gary said you're rootable

Commutable, refutable you.

You're never sensitive or tickley

When I rub you my skin goes prickerly

It's know an static electricity

Felicity when I'm kissing you.

Your skin is so smooth "I couldn't afford you with hair

You have all the holes real girls have got plus one for the air

Your problems are simple, I don't need my Masters in Psych

To know if you get down I just perk you right up

With a couple of squirts from the pump off my bike.

You never wake up when I snore at all

A trait which I find quite adorable

You have a box and you are storable

Ignorable, back-doorable you.

Any sexual position's feasible

Although you don't bend at the knees at all

Your hooters are so firm and squeezable

Increasable, un-creasable you.

You don't complain about my hairy back

Or about the inches that downstairs I lack

You're not disgusted by my furry crack

Burt Bacharach, Jack Kerouac ooo.

Now birth control is not an issue

I clean it all up with a tissue

I bet my jealous friend all wish you

Were insatiably inflatably theirs.

Don’t let me down.

Don’t let me down.

Don’t let me down.

And I won’t let you down.

Tim Minchin.

What I remember about that song (Life) was that it kept cropping up time and time again, not just as background music for montages on various programmes but with her performing/miming the song in studios and such, over and over again. I've never known any performer milk a single song so much as she did, I never heard her perform anything else.

As for lyrics, well I have to go back to the song I mentioned in your other blog, the one that goes

'When you get caught between the moon and New York City,

I know it's crazy, but it's true

When you get caught between the moon and New York City,

The best that you can do.... the best that you can do

Is fall in love'

As for the best lyrics....well I could go on for a long time citing all kinds of songs, but the wittiest, cleverest lyricist of all time has to be Ray Davies of The Kinks, and Lola is my favourite....

I met her in a club down in old Soho where you drink champagne

and it tastes just like cherry cola

C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance

I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola

L-O-L-A Lola

la la la la Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy

but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

oh my Lola

la la la la Lola

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

oh my Lola

la la la la Lola

la la la la Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night

under electric candle light

she picked me up and sat me on her knee

and said "Hey boy won't you come home with me?"

Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy

but when I looked in her eyes

Well I almost fell for my Lola

La la la la Lola

la la la la Lola

Lola la la la la Lola

la la la la Lola

I pushed her away I walked to the door

I fell to the floor

I got down on my knees

Well I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay

and I always want it to be that way for my Lola

la la la la Lola

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls

it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world

except for Lola

la la la la Lola

Well I left home just a week before

and I'd never ever kissed a woman before

but Lola smiled and took me by the hand

and said "Hey boy gonna make you a man"

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man

but I know what I am and I bet I'm a man

and so is Lola

la la la la lola

la la la la Lola

Lola la la la la Lola

Des’ree’s song, ‘Life’, in my humble opinion, has to go down in musical history as the most nonsensical lyrics:

“I don’t want to see a ghost, It’s the sight that I fear most, I’d rather have a piece of toast.”

That was what happened when they desperately looked up the rhyming dictionary.

Racked m ybrain trying to think of the worst lyric I've heard.

Then thought WTF I haven't listened to commercial radio or the charts for about 15 yrs at least.

Anything written in that period is a pile of shit.

Have a friend who makes a living out of writing lyrics for some of the biggest names in the business.

A talented guy but hi talent is wasted as he is asked to write dross for the likes of Beyonce, Britney, Cheryl etc

Anything decent he does, the artist stands on stage and claims "This is a new song I wrote"

My own son writes and sings in a band that were recently approached by Sony for one of his songs.

He told them to f**k off unless he got to record it first. Then whatever manufactured shit can release t and take it to number one.

All the good songwriters are being exploited for Simon Cowell, Stock Aitjken and Waterman etc etc etc.

Rant over.

PS Bonnie Tyler only sang Total Eclipse it was written by Jim Steinman the guy who produced ALL Meat Loaf's work

" ...it was written by Jim Steinman the guy who produced ALL Meat Loaf's work "

Just for veracity, and as you stressed the 'ALL', Steinman WASN'T Meat's producer, but the writer of his more famous works, and even then not all of them (the dire Midnight at the Lost and Found album had nothing to with Steinman). The producer you might be thinking of is Tod Rundgren, who produce the Bat out of Hell LP, but again wasn't exclusive to Meatloaf.

After looking back over the replies given here I feel I should ask 'Does it always matter if the lyrics are stupid and/or don't make sense?'

On their own the lyrics of Agadoo are pretty bloody stupid, but in a sense the lyrics are actually pretty good coz it's a dance song and they describe the actions of the dance, which then ARE really fucking stupid.

What I hate is when a song appears to be trying to say something meaningful, but comes out with total bollocks like 'when you get caught between the moon and NYC.....etc' (yes I really have it in for this song)

Song lyrics don't necessarily need to make sense or have meaning if they compliment the actual music. To me a good song has good rhythm (which is why I hate jazz music and it's randomness), so if there is rhythm in the lyrics and it adds to the 'feel' of the song then it can say pretty much whatever it likes. So on that note another especially irritating song is 'What I am is what I am' by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians, which grates on my nerves for the way she seems to have just tried make an ordinary sentence fit a not especially good tune, and sounds the same as when kids try to sing words as they come into their heads. Not a good advert for Nepotism (she's Paul Simon's wife, who you'd think might've at least been able to tell her it was shit)

ahhhhhh classic song!!!!!!!!!!!!

used to love skating to this at the all night roller disco "

Follow it up with a classic from the era, like warren G's Regulate, and you have yourself a proper night!

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon

Warren g was on the street trying to consume

some skirts for the eve so I can get some funk

just rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone...

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole

Nate dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold

Now they dropping and yelling

Its a tad bit late

Nate dogg and warren h had to regulate.

You'll all probably hate this but i love these lyrics :-

"Whats your reason for existence

do you believe in anything?

or does your lifestyle contradict

the words you write

and the songs you sing?"

Subhumans - Reason for existence

That christmas song, "A winter's tale", can't remember who it's by.

A line in the chorus states, "On a worldwide scale, we're just another winter's tale". But the the whole world isn't experiencing the hardship of winter at the same time.

It would have made a lot more sense if it said; "In the northern hemisphere, we're just another winter's tale"...

But it would still have sounded shite.

I wish I was a little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a '64 impala

You missed off "regulaters: mount up!" Just goes to show: love this song lol.

A classic I didn't even know I had on my ipod is by a "talented" young man named Lil Wayne. The song is entitled A Milli and includes the haunting lines:

I'm a veneral disease

I'm a menstral bleed

Ye gods!
