"So her nights became nightmares... As she fought for their souls And the days became worse... For the ones she had lost Children of the world... the forgotten chimpanzee In the eyes of the world... you have done so much for me" - Stevie Nicks I should add I consider Stevie to be the greatest female rock songwriter to have lived thus far and I still say the lyrics above are the worst in any song. |

Those priceless lyrics, by the way, came from the song, "Scream and Shout," from their Condition Critical album. I love that album, but those lyrics are just, well... :yack: and -rolleyes- and :hscratch: and (most importantly) :lol: (They are, by far, the worst lyrics on that album.) 5 years later, and this is still the winner! :D |
I think Normand L'Amour wins.

My worst goes to some Eminem song: "The underground just spun around a did a 360, now the kids diss me like a bunch of big sissies" *Ok, as I typed this I realized something, so maybe I miss interpreted the line (or I don't know my Eminem history) If the underground was behind him the beginning than it wouldn't be a 360 it would be a 180. If the underground started off "dissing" him, then liked him, then "dissed" him again the lyrics would be correct. |
These always pissed me off from Barenaked Ladies' "One Week".
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink As I make you stop, think You'll think you're looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes Big like Leann Rimes Because I'm all about value Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits You try to match wits You try to hold me but I bust through Gonna make a break and take a fake I'd like a stinkin achin shake I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know The vertigo is gonna grow Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver Chickity China the Chinese chicken You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin' Watchin X-Files with no lights on, we're dans la maison I hope the Smoking Man's in this one Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic Like Sting I'm Tantric Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy Like Kurasawa I make mad films Okay I don't make films But if I did they'd have a samurai Gonna get a set of better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing I'm a true hip hop fan and I don't think there's a way a real hip hopper can like those lyrics. Same goes for anything by Cam'ron. |
There are some pretty dumb lyrics in this post. But I thought there were a lot of dumb ones in the thread where people were posting great ones so I guess I'm not a good judge.

Please people. Nickelback OWNS this thread.
Some gems from the song "Photograph" Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh Why do our eyes get so red? And what the hell is on Joey’s head? This is where I grew up I think the present owner fixed it up I never knew where we went without The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out I wonder if it’s too late Should I go back and try to graduate? Life’s better now than it was back then If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in Kim's the first girl I kissed I was so nervous that I nearly missed She’s had a couple of kids since then I haven’t seen her since God knows when note: I don't actually listen to this crap. |
I'm sure it's been mentioned in here already, but I nominate LFO's "Summer Girls".
"New Kids On The Block had a bunch of hits, Chinese food makes me sick..." etc. :yack: |

Savage Garden's Song
That features the lyric "Like a Chicken Cherry Cola." |
Unlike my wife, I rarely listen to FM radio, so I wasn't familiar with this gem we heard while riding to work in her car this morning:
Come my lady Come, come my Lady You're my butterfly. Sugar, baby Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my butterfly. Sugar, baby Such a sexy, sexy pretty little thing Fierce nipple pierce, you got me sprung With your tongue ring And I ain't gonna lie Cuz your lovin' gets me high So to keep you by my side There's nothin' that I won't try Butterflies in her eyes And the looks to kill Time is passing And I'm askin, "Could this be real?" Cuz I can't sleep I can't hold still The only thing I really know Is she got sex appeal I can feel Too much is never enough You're always there to lift me up When these times get rough I was lost. Now I'm found Ever since you've been around You're the woman that I want So yo, I'm puttin' it down Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my butterfly. Sugar, baby Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my pretty baby I'll make your legs shake You make me go crazy Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my butterfly. Sugar, baby Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my pretty baby I'll make your legs shake You make me go crazy I don't deserve you Unless it's some kind of hidden message To show me life is precious Then I guess it's true But to tell the truth, I really never knew 'Til I met you See I was lost and confused Twisted and used up Knew a better life existed But thought that I missed it My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child Trapped on a short leash, paroled The police files So yo, what's happening now? I see the sun breaking Shinin' through dark clouds And a vision of you Standing out in the crowds So... Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my butterfly. Sugar, baby Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my pretty baby I'll make your legs shake You make me go crazy Hey sugar-mama come and dance with me The smartest thing you ever did Was take a chance with me Whatever tickles your fancy Girl it's me and you like Sid and Nancy So sexy, almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head I used to think happy endings Were only in the books I read But you made me feel alive When I was almost dead You filled that empty space With the love I used to chase And as far as I can see It don't get better than this So, butterfly here is a song And it's sealed with a kiss And I thank you miss Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my butterfly. Sugar, baby Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my pretty baby I'll make your legs shake You make me go crazy Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my butterfly. Sugar, baby Come my lady Come, come my lady You're my pretty baby I'll make your legs shake You make me go crazy Come and dance with me (repeat x 11) - Crazy Town, "Butterfly" |
I'd have to go with this section of Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff":
Give me something to break Give me something to break Just give me stuff to break How 'bout your fuckin' face? I hope you know I pack a chainsaw, what? A chainsaw, what?, a mutherfuckin' chainsaw, what? So come and get it |
I hate to end this contest.
This was a hit by the band sweet ... Little Willy 'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home But you can't push Willy 'round, Willy won't go Try tellin' everybody but, oh no Little Willy, Willy won't go home I have to end here. I can't take any more. |

no long faces, no long looks no deep conversation I know how I want you to say goodbye Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees Tell me on a Sunday please "Tell Me on a Sunday" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Song & Dance isn't that horrible. |
I saw this on Saturday Night Live and my jaw dropped - I tried to edit it down to only the terrible parts but ended up copying the whole thing.
Gym Class Heroes "Cupid's Chokehold" (feat. Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy) Ba ba da da Ba ba da da Ba ba da da Ba ba da da Ba ba da da Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) It's been some time since we last spoke This is gonna sound like a bad joke But momma I fell in love again It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend And I know it sounds so old But cupid got me in a chokehold And I'm afraid I might give in Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin' I mean she even cooks me pancakes And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches If that ain't love then I don't know what love is We even got a secret handshake And she loves the music that my band makes I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) It's been awhile since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long But I promise this is on a whole new plane I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da) I love it when she calls my phone She even got her very own ringtone If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da) It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor She'll be back into my arms once more for sure Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) She's got a smile that would make the most senile Annoying old man bite his tongue I'm not done She's got eyes comparable to sunrise And it doesn't stop there Man I swear She's got porcelain skin of course she's a ten And now she's even got her own song But movin' on She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard And we can be on the phone for three hours Not sayin' one word And I would still cherish every moment And when I start to build my future she's the main component Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da) |
I've always thought this line from "The Power" by Snap was funny:
Or I will attack And you don't want that! |
Ben Folds "The Luckiest"
what if I'd been born fifty years before you in a house on the street where you lived maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike, would I know? Can you say Pedophile? :lol: |
Ok, I hate, hate, hate Nickelback (as most probably do). But that song about photographs and him describing people in the pictures makes me want to murder. Here's a sample:
Look at this photograph Everytime I do it makes me laugh How did our eyes get so red And what the hell is on Joey's head Everytime I hear the song, I get a great big dose of the rage virus. edit-ok, I didn't read the thread beforehand. looks like someone already mentioned this song. still.....pain....lot's of pain! |
I would have to say just about any Duran Duran song.

I'm not sure if anyone listens to My Dying Bride, but they do goth/doom/death type music, and layer the emo imagery so damn thick. Their latest album had this little gem:
What if love's intolerable pain never leaves us? Do we dash our bleeding hearts on the rocks of loneliness? |
