We've all heard them...awful lyrics in popular songs.  Here are my most hated:

From Horse with No Name by America:

quote:

America wrote:
In the desert, you can't remember your name
Cuz there aint no one for to give you no pain.

Then there was the one-off superband, Emerson, Lake, & Powell who gave us this in their sorta hit Touch & Go:

quote:

the other white ELP wrote:
Man in the street, nowhere to sleep
No time for nothing, no Patek Philippe

The thing that always struck me about that one is that I have always had a place to sleep, but I've never been able to afford a Patek Philippe watch.  Funny how these prog-rock gods pity the poor guy who can't afford a $20,000 watch.

But, if you're going to drop names, you have to include what I think is the most awful couplet of all time, from Love Will Find a Way by Yes:

quote:

band way beyond its prime wrote:
Here is my heart
Waiting for you
Here is my soul
I eat at Chez Nous

What are yours?

"I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I dont care about clever I dont care about funny
I want loads of clothes and f***loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them"

 

Some profound thoughts from Lily Allen there.   Really, Lily?  No shit.  No.  Shit.

These lyrics are so bad, I even put them on my CD for Swap 7.  Pay special attention to the chorus:

I like things
That make me glad
I dont like things
That make me sad

Holy fuck.  This is why I support abortion through the 75th trimester.

quote:

Fannypack wrote:

Things
Parties,
Movies
Candy, toys,
Clothes, shopping,
Music, boys,
Flowers, beaches,
Mom and Dad
These here things
Make me glad

I hate Players
Cheaters
Suckers, liars
Boys who smoke
And go start fires
Cant stand school
Or when the weathers bad
These here things
Make me sad

I like things
That make me glad
I dont like things
That make me sad
Life is lived
And time goes by
The stars still shine
Up in the sky

I love my man
Hes the best
His hugs, his kisses
All the rest
His touch his voice
Hes so fly
These here things
Make me high.

Repeat Chorus

rapped very poorly by a 13-year-old:

Look at these things that we have here
Make me so happy and they bring me cheer
Boys, movies, and shopping too
My favorite things
I thought you knew.

We steamed up the windows of my old Chevy

I was willin' but she wasn't ready

So I settled for a burger and a Grape Sno-Cone

Dropped her off early but I didn't go home


I hear that and think that because she wouldn't put out, he made her buy him dinner and then kicked her out of the truck at her house on his way to the brothel to cure his blue balls.

Over the seas in all degrees

If you ever want to witness the drawback of coming off heroin, I recommend you listen to anything Lou Reed recorded in the last 20 years.  Here's a gem called Egg Cream from Set The Twilight Reeling:

quote:

washed up junky wrote:
When I was a young man, no bigger than this
A chocolate egg cream was not to be missed
Some U-Bet's chocolate syrup, seltzer water mixed with milk
You stir it up into a heady froth, tasted just like silk

You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream
You scream, I steam, we all want egg cream

Somehow, that doesn't compare to anything he did with Velvet Underground.

Speaking of Lou Reed...

ANIMAL LANGUAGE by Lou Reed

Miss Riley had a dog
she used to keep it in her backyard
And when the dog began to bark
all the neighbors began to shout
Then came a stormy night
Miss Riley let her dog out
And when the neighbors found him 'round
they put a gun down his mouth and shot him down
and he went

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow
Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow

Miss Murphy had a cat
on her lap it sat
And once in a great big while
it looked like that Cheshire cat did smile
But often it used to chase
anything that crossed its face
But one day it got so hot
that Cheshire cat had a blood clot
and she said

Ooohhh-meow, me-meow
Ooohhh-meow, me-meow

Meow

And then the dog met the cat
the dog was hot and the cat was wet
Then came some sweaty dude
he put a board between the two
Then they couldn't get at it
got frustrated all about it
So they did the only thing you could do
they took the dude's sweat and shot it up between the two
and they said

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow
Ooohhh-wow, bow, me, wow

There are far too many to even begin to list here.

That is the single largest drawback to working where I do. Sometimes there's no drunken idiots or beat up ho's to watch, so the music insinuates itself right into your skull.

There's a song by the Killers, which is a gross misallocation of an awesome band name, called human.

Now hold on, FTC, I lost my virginity to this song, so I have to pretend I like it. Of course, the guy I lost it to, if I ever see him I'm probably going to beat his ass, but I do have to pretend I like it.
