Worst lyrics contained in a song?

Church on Tuesday

What do you consider to be the worst lyrics you have ever heard in a song?

My vote goes for this lyrical genius courtesy of Miss Minaji;

You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe

Incredible...

Wasn't there a
It's Friday friday friday ....
friday,saturday then comes sunday or some tripe like that ?

Anyway, its all marketting and kids listen to what they are told to listen to , talent has nothing to do with it, how else could a wailing beached whale like Adele that just screeches and bursts your eardrums be considered a top "artist"?

All socially engineered bullsh&t

I like TRex but Marc Bolan should be a contender,

Regardless of your taste in music or the lyrics or whatever else, Adele can sing. Definitely has talent.

I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair.

Reminds me of when you are a kid and your bike is better than your mates cos it’s got 21 gears and his only has 18

Fanny Wank

Pretty much all of that Charlatans song "One to another"

EyesClosed

"slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannon ball"
Even Noel has said thats nonsense

Achasanai

I always had a soft spot for rhythm is a dancer:


Got to be what you wanna
If the groove don't get you the rifle's gonna
I'm serious as cancer
When I say rhythm is a dancer

Particularly those last two lines.

Sgt Hartman

Troublemaker by Taio Cruz "I see you walking by looking like a supermodel, your ass from the side looks just like a Coke bottle"

The Princess Bride

" Calling occupants, of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft" by The Carpenters.

(Which I thought was "Calling octopus", but that's for another thread.)

Collie D

It's all about the money
It's all about the dum dum da da dum


Surely when she was recording it she realised "Oh yeah, I meant to go back and fill in something there"

The jail perhaps ??!! 😀

Two by artists I love, so I give them a pass (I'm sure they'd be so relieved):

"I like driving in my car... even with a flat ty-ar" (Driving In My Car by Madness).

"Hurry before it's too late. Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby... call him Nate... (if it's a boy)" (Sign O' The Times by Prince).

The second one is so silly that it's quite beloved.

Time to post this for the second time today:

As much as I adore Thin Lizzy, I think Phil forgot to connect the dots on that one!

"You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you...."

Yeah, makes sense....?

Gimme A Pound

My Hump by Black Eyed Peas.

Too much to choose from contained in that one track.

Riddle101

Not a big Shinedown fan but I heard this song played a lot and it's just ridiculous imo.

The song is called Devil but the lyrics are pretty crap.

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick up the phone

[Verse 1]
You said it yourself you're scared of being alone
You said it yourself that you can crack the code
But the static you hear automatically keeps you exposed, on your own
I hope you're ready, steady, smashing through the levy
The drama, the trauma, don't play the prima donna
My God
You said it yourself that you would never stop
Until you felt the needle drop

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you pack your bags, the party's such a drag
And everyone can tell that you're poisoning the well
But there are no mistakes, except what you create
You need to know your place

[Chorus]
'Cause it's about to get heavy (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
It's about to be on (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
Yeah, I'm bangin' slingin' napalm (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
So nobody move
'Cause I was sent to warn you
The devil's in the next room

[Verse 2]
The silence, the silence
The blinding ultra violence
Knockin' at your door (Hey)
Pacin' back and forth
What now? (What now)
The whispers and the screams
The stereotypical profiling ritual
Vicious and obscene

[Pre-Chorus]
So now you pack your bags, the party's such a drag
And everyone can tell that you're poisoning the well
But there are no mistakes, except what you create
You need to know your place

[Chorus]
'Cause it's about to get heavy (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
It's about to be on (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
Yeah, I'm bangin' slingin' napalm (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
So nobody move
'Cause I was sent to warn you
The devil's in the next room

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
'Cause it's about to get heavy (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
It's about to be on (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
Yeah, I'm bangin' slingin' napalm (Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
So nobody move
'Cause I was sent to warn you
The devil's in the next room

[Outro]
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
Yeah the devil's in the next room
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
Yeah the devil's in the next room
(Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy)
So nobody move
'Cause I was sent to warn you
The devil's right beside you

My nomination looking beyond the obvious "Do Do Do Da Da Da" syncopation type nonsense is by Adrian Gurvitz

Lennon/McCartney had a few gooduns too...

to wit:

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe

Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob, goo goo

Cream's poet in residence Pete Brown came up with a few doozies but I'm reluctant to throw them in as somehow it works.

Ah feck it here they are

When I was young they gave me a mongrel piano,
Spent all my time inventing the cup of tea.
Writing your name in the sea,
Banging my fav'rite head.

Missing the last bed, waving a cheery herring,
Balancing brass bands on the tip of my toe.
Phoning your home from my tree,
Drinking my fav'rite loch.

When I was old they gave me a model factory,
I met three salads out on the motorway.
Leaving your name at the door,
Breaking my fav'rite egg.

Missing the walrus, sharing my last banana,
Balancing zeppelins on the end of my nose.
Calling your name in the zoo,
Blowing my fav'rite mind.

Lord Glentoran

The Name of the Game from ABBA.

Not so much an ear worm as a musical tapeworm

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?


Tell me, please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child beginning to grow

Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd had some curious lyrics, one of his solo tracks Dolly Rocker had the line ' You want to meet Pearl?
she's as cute as a squirrel's nut. '

dirkmeister

love the way your hair falls in the summer
I'll treat you like your father treats your mother
And I'm kinda scared of your older brother
Oh yeah


You play with my hair like there's no other
And I'm no longer scared of your older brother
He said, "we're cool, man, I know you love her"
Oh yeah


This is the kind of sh!t that helped Picture This sell out 5 nights at The Point.

I hate people.

Faugheen

Lads how has nobody mentioned Hanson yet?

razorblunt

"Yes,yes, oh yeah".

Mike Skinner from The Streets had an absolute hissy fit when Chris Moyles called those lyrics shíte and lazy.
Moyles is shíte and lazy but he's not wrong.

Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want

Littlehorny

Remember that ****e boyband JLS had a song that went "She makes me want to oh, oh, oh,oh,oh. She makes me want to oh,oh,oh,oh,oh" repeat about 10 times and that was about the whole song.
Modern song writing scutter of the highest order.

Ah, the motto for Brexit , you never find out what they really really want.

Also
"Slam your body down and wind it all around"

Capt'n Midnight

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

But, they were just place holder lyrics to fit the tune until something better came along.

The moral is that if it's a good tune the lyrics aren't important.

I'm not saying You're So Vain isn't a great song - but that line literally makes no sense

Shakira - "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains" - wtf?! I'm assuming it's a phrase that sounds less stupid in Spanish and was directly translated.

"I've got all of Ethiopia... inside of me" - I mean really now Neneh Cherry.

"Hail a gypsy cab takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge...
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge." Alicia Keys singing bollox.
