Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - Worst Lyrics of All Time

By a BBC Radio Poll

http://www.u2france.com/spip.php?article10467

1. DES’REE - LIFE

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

2. SNAP - RHYTHM IS A DANCER

I’m as serious as cancer; When I say rhythm is a dancer

3. RAZORLIGHT - SOMEWHERE ELSE

And I met a girl; She asked me my name; I told her what it was

4. ABC - THAT WAS THEN BUT THIS IS NOW

More sacrifices than an Aztec priest; Standing here straining at that leash; All fall down; Can’t complain, mustn’t grumble; Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble

5. U2 - ELEVATION

I’ve got no self control; Been living like a mole now; Going down, excavation; High and high in the sky; You make me feel like I can fly; So high; Elevation

The Police - Spirits In The Material World

Our so-called leaders speak.
With words they try to jail ya.
They subjugate the meek.
But it's the rhetoric of failya.


So sad.

Aqua - Barbie Girl

I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on Barbie, let's go party!

Not sure these are bad as much as interesting. The song, "Farewell Party".

When the last breath of life is gone from my body, and my lips are as cold as the sea. When my friends gather round for my farewell party, won't you pretend you love me.

Will Smith -- Gettin' Jiggy Wit It

Now honey honey come ride
Dkny all up in my eye
You gotta prada bag with alotta stuff in it
Give it to your friend lets spin

steve miller lyrics are usually good for a laugh

The Black-Eyed Peas "My Humps". I just can't process that kind of stupidity.

i love U2 but can't stand elevation or most of their newer stuff.

as far as gittin jiggy with it goes, i could never understand why people liked that song. one of my best friends used to listen to that song all the damn time & my a-hole side would come out during the entire song. i figured my a-hole rants against that song were by far better than the song itself. the same goes with any barenaked ladies song.

Yes... But the video is very nice. :love:

"....in the desert you can't remember your name, for there ain't no one for to give you no pain." It also might be the worst musically (two chords?)

Ramble On - Led Zepplin

I cant listen to the damn song anymore with out snickering and thinking its about that bloody hobbit Sam and his hottie hobbit girlfriend.

You mean Frodo?

You mean Frodo?

I thought Sam was the one who got married to blond hobbit with the big you know whats at the end of Return of the King?

I was kidding. I thought Peter Jackson's interpretation of Sam and Frodo's relationship was interesting, because he sort of made them gay. I mean it wasn't "Brokeback Hobbits" or anything like that, but it was there. Maybe Frodo and Sam's relationship as expressed in the book doesn't translate to modern ears very well. Or my ears very well. Regardless, it was a joke.

Yeah i got it now. D'oh. Like you i was waiting nervously for the movie to not go all gay porn on me. I looked upon Sam's marriage like a man released from prison. Frodo was ok cause thats all there was at the time, but he really would rather have a healthy blond wench, and once he got home, darn if he didnt.

If you haven't seen them already, there's a funny "very secret diaries" for the LOTR characters... http://www.ealasaid.com/misc/vsd/

Makes me laugh every time.

As for lyrics, I love the band Garbage, and sometimes their lyrics are pretty clever, but there's a song called When I grow Up that makes me crazy! There's a line that goes, "Watch my temper, I go mental, I'll try to be gentle, when I grow up... "

I go MENTAL!?

whoa whoa whoa, no mention of the mars volta?

a selection from Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus

My nails peel back
When the taxidermist ruined
Goose stepped the freckling impatience
All the brittle tombs
Five hundred little q’s
I’m splitting hairs to
Match the faces

All night long I’ll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia naci

Now this train don’t lie
An abortion that survived
A lineage of
Bastard mastacation
All the severed proof
Talons scratch my suite
These are the feathers
That replace them

I heard the Indigo Girls today and was reminded what a rich source of bad lyrics they are.

I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free

The whole of 'All I wanna do is make love to you' by Heart is lyrically and musically terrible, and puts horrible visions in my mind.

So we found this old hotel
it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night,
he did everything right.

Fat trollop. SPEW!!!!

The line 'slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball' out of Champagne Supernova by Oasis is one of the most stupid lyrics of all time. Good song otherwise.

But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in a cry...

Live and Let Die, by Sir Paul McCartney

And the whole of D'yer Maker by Led Zepplin:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You don't have to go...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You don't have to go...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby, please don't go.

"We've had laughs we had fun we had seasons in the sun "
or whatever that crap was. . .
bad lyrics are ok, but the debbie boone, terry jacks stuff makes me
want to puke.

Me First and the Gimme Gimme's do a great cover of "Seasons in the Sun."

No, seriously.
