    Regarded as the worst lyric apparantly in music history.

    I don't know about much the song now as it was a bit before my time I have to be honest. But apparantly it was number 1 for 6 weeks this time 20 years ago in the UK and a massive 8 weeks here in Ireland. One our longest numbers ones ever amazingly enough.

    Obviously a popular song back in those days I guess if you're old enough to remember it? Despite the weird lyric. (2:38 btw)



    "You can feel you can feel it..rhythm!" lmao

    Reminds me of a great Summer - Euro Championships in Sweden - played against a backdrop of Nirvana's Nevermind and trips to Dublin with Rollin' Rock carryouts, following our brilliant minor team. Wonderful memories!! :cool:

    What are you asking, is it "are there worse song lyrics?", or do we know the song.

    It isnt possible to define the worst lyric ever written. It is only possible to confirm that it exists somewhere within the sludge that is the Black Eyed Peas back catalogue.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭mud


    I always thought these were the worst:
    BIG MOUNTAIN

    but don't hesitate, cause your love wont wait...
    I can see the sunset in your eyes
    Brown and grey, blue besides
    Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
    Wish I could buy one out of season
    But don't hesitate, cause your love wont wait...

    The Saw Doctors
    I Want you more

    I want you more
    Than the stars in the sky
    Or a mountain bike
    Or a bit more
    Than al lift
    When i'm ages thumin'
    I want yo so much more
    Than any other woman
    More, more, more
    I want you more,
    I want you so much more.......
    And I want you more
    Than an ice cream cone

    More than a hungry dog
    Wants a bone
    Duty free fags
    Or a carton of wine
    More than a pint after closing time
    More than a ticket for the hogan stand
    More than I want to shake the presidents hand
    I want you so much
    More, more, more,
    I want you more
    I want you so much more

    Life by Des'ree has to be the worst lyrics of all time..
    I don't want to see a ghost,
    it's a fright that I fear most,
    rather have a piece of toast,
    watch the evening news

    Don't be silly.

    Ha! I see your Saw Doctors and raise you a Richie Kavanagh!

    The Abomination

    When I was just a little lad I used to go to school

    I’d sit down there in the seat, feeling like a fool

    The teacher toult us everything, everything we know

    She had a great big lump of a stick that was bent into a bow

    CHORUS:

    She’d go “Aon focal, da focal, two focal eile, And I not knowing no focal at all

    She’d go “Aon focal, da focal, two focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all

    …..

    She toult us how to say all our A.B.C.s

    She showed us how to make little men out a plasticine

    She taught us how to say our prayers, she toult us right from wrong

    The only thing about it, we didn’t go to school too long

    Chorus

    She taught about the history, the Battle of the Boyne

    And how to play a game with a chestnut on a twine

    She says “Open up your catechism, learn of that information

    If you don’t get it in, to your big thick head, you won’t get your conformation

    Chorus

    Well, the days we spent going to school, were the best years of our life

    Tho’ at the time we thought they were full of trouble and strife

    Now when I’m home on holiday I pass the old school gate

    I think a the time I spent in there, them times the surely were great

    Chorus

    She’d go “Aon focal, da focal ,two focal eile,

    And I not knowing no focal at all She’d go

    “Aon focal, da focal, two focal eile And I not knowing no focal at all

    Feiceann me,,, Feiceann tu,,, Thats The Truth says I ta you

    She’d go “Aon focal, da focal, two focal eile

    And I not knowing no focal at all

    And we not knowing no focal at all

    FFS they're only lyrics and purely used to rhyme with Dancer. It was No.1 when I was in Santa Ponsa on my first holiday abroad with a bunch of friends, i think it was in 1992 it was played several times in the night clubs each nite and holds such good memories for me.

    I can think of far worse lyrics....

    What about Dead Kennedys 'kill the poor', or GBH's 'Necrophilia' ???

    I remember one of the first times I was ever at a nightclub I requested
    R Kelly, She's got that Vibe.... it cleared the dancefloor as no-one else had heard of it, so I danced away like a demon... my poor friends stuck with me, now that's love :D

    I LOVED that song when I was 18 :D

    Never knew those lyrics! Infact I'd say I could probably be a contender for the what you thought the lyrics were thread :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    Not the worst lyrics, but probably the most offensive.

    No, anywhere that plays chart music.. you always get your bit of dance, bit of RnB.. and some 90's cheese at the end of the night..

    Break for the Border, The Palace on Camden Street, Q Bar, Dandelion to name but a few places where I have definitely heard that tune rolled out.

    +1000. I can generally get on board with most music out there and get something from it, but that lot... Jesus.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
