Lyrics so bad they give you dry heaves

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The worst song lyrics have to be:
"I'm blue da ba de ba do die, da ba de da bo die, da bo de da bo die."

ugggghhhhhh why did you have to remind me that that song exists? I had managed to forget about it *cries* I don't think that words can convey how much I hate this song. I think that that song is possibly the worst song in the history of mankind! Everytime I hear it I want to curl up into the fetal position and stab something sharp into my ears so that the noise will stop.

I probably won't be making any friends singling these one out, but they're both horribly overrated, undertalented airheads - Pink (Get This Party Started) and Sophie Ellis Bextor (Murder On The Dancefloor). I won't quote them, because there isn't a single decent line in either and I don't want to take up too much space.
 
Hahahahahaha hey Klod there is this great version of that Pink song, I dont know what it is called, but its so much better than the single I dont know why it wasn't released but then...if you hate it....:D

I think I will give my vote to Shakira and how she talks about her breasts being small so you dont confuse them with mountains or something like that, now I know that english is not her first language, but you would havet hought that someone in the record company might have stopped shiteful lyrics like those being recorded....oh dear!!!!!

That song by All Saints, "Never Ever". I can't believe it was a hit!?!

**Read at your own risk**

A few questions that I need to know
How you could ever hurt me so
I need to know what i've done wrong
And how long it's been going on
Was it that I never paid enough attention
Or did I not give enough affection
Not only will your answers keep me sane
But i'll know never to make the same mistake again
You can tell me to my face
Or even on the phone
You can write it in a letter
Either way i've have to know
Did I never treat you right
Did I always start the fight
Either way i'm going out of my mind
All the answers to my questions I have to find

My head's spinnin'
Boy i'm in a daze
I feel isolated
Don't wanna communicate
I take a shower
I will scour
I will roam
To find peace of mind
The happy mind
I once owned yeah

Flexing vocabulary runs right through me
The alphabet runs right from a to zee
Conversations, hesatations in my mind
You got my conscience
Asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I aint done nothing wrong, no
I'm just waiting cos I heard that this feeling won't last that long

chorus
Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way i'm feeling yeah you got me feeling really
Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own piece of mind
I've never ever had my conscience to fight
The way i'm feeling yeah it just don't feel right

I'll keep searching
Deep within my soul
For all the answers
Don't wanna hurt no more
I need peace gotta feel at ease
Need to be
Free from pain
Go insane
My heart aches yeah

Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head
The alphabet runs right from a to zed
Conversations, hesatations in my mind
You got my concience asking questions that i can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I aint done nothing wrong
Now i'm just awaiting cos I heard that this feeling won't last that long

chorus x3

You can tell me to my face
You can tell me on the phone
Oooh you can write it in a letter babe
Cos I really need to know
You can write it in a letter babe
You can write in in a letter babe(fade)
 
Did anyone pick "It's the story of a girl...who cried a river and drowned the whole world...and while she looks so sad in photographs...I absolutely love her, when she smiles"

Everything that band did made me want to retch. I don't remember their name.

Ironically, they recorded a little satire of their song for a local station, ALICE 106. It too was terrible.

How about Yellow Submarine(the whole song) by The Beatles

Oh, good, somebody brought up the Beatles first. Now, I don't feel so bad bringing up this little lyirc:

Na, na-na, na-na-na-na.
Na-na-na-na.
Hey Jude.


That wouldn't be NEARLY as irritating if they didn't sing it 40,000 times in one song, if they didn't make a mint off this song, or if Paul wasn't universally hailed as an infallible lyrical genius.

While I'm here, I'll bring up Aerosmith:

I'm the one that jaded you.

He jaded her? Is "jaded" even a transitive verb? Even if it is, it may be grammatically correct, but it's very hard on the ears.

Finally, while I can bring up Alanis (shudder), Paula Cole (double shudder), or one of several other bad writers, I think special consideration must be given to newcomer Vanessa Carlton:

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight


"If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?"

MEANINGLESS.

Utterly meaningless. She also covered the Stones' "Paint It Black" ON HER ALBUM (U2 was smart enough to keep something like that as a B-side), and said album is titled - get this - Be Not Nobody.

Gaaaaagh.

Not to harp, but...

"If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?"

What could this possibly mean?

- "If I fell into the sky, would I cease to be part of the space-time continuum and become, in effect, a non-event mass with a quantam probability of zero?"

- "In your opinion, would my falling into the sky turn me into a non-event mass?"

- "If I fell into the sky, would YOUR OPINION about my chances of becoming a non-event mass change?"

- "What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me?"

SERIOUSLY, there's NO POSSIBLE WAY that line can be made to make sense.

He was a sk8r boi, she said "see u l8r boi" - Avril Lavigne.

Did you know that Avril actually got her start by singing country songs at fairs and stuff? She's just some record exec's creation.

I feel sorry for her.

Oh yeah more weird lyrics.

What the hell is a "Champagne super nova in the sky?"

What is a "wonder wall" any way?
 
champagne supernova in the sky is poetic enough to be a good lyric. well thats my excuse cause ive always liked it.

TRAIN MUST BE SENT TO LYRIC HELL NOW

i dont usually critisize her but damn....

I am ready for the news so tell me straight
Hey doctor just what do you diagnose
There aint a surgeon like you any place in all the world
So now, shall I remove my clothes

So tell me what do you prescribe for these symptoms
A heart beating faster and work is a disaster
I'm lovesick when you're not around
Check me over
When strong hands and healing
I'm dancing on the ceiling


OH GOD, THEY ARE JUST SHOCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!KYLES, WHAT WERE U THINKING?!!!!!!!
 
THANKYOU Bubba for bringing up Alanis Happypants. Lets count how many irony's actually exist in Ironic.

Lets not actually. I hate the song and hate everything she has ever recorded. I have more talent in my arse.
 
- Well, Cranberries is a bottomless well of crappy lyrics. How about this pearl:

"Don't analyze, don't analyze,
Don't live that way, don't live that way,
That would paralyse your evolution" (er.... what??)

Or:

"In your head, in your head,
They are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs, and their guns"

- Their countrymen, the Corrs, aren't doing better:

"Irresistible, magical, physical,
So make-you-mineable..."

- Although I love the song, I think that Coldplay's "Yellow" has terrible lyrics.

- And I can't ignore those masters of suburban angst, Limp Bizkit:

"I did it all for the nookie,
The nookie,
So you can take that cookie
And stick it up yo..."
 
Thank God this thread was resurrected. There is some new Nelly song with that chick from Destiny's Child called Decided or Dilemma or something. And the chorus goes something like:

"something
something
Even when I'm with my boo
I'm still crazy about you"

even when you're with who? your boo? maybe you should ask nelly to give you his band aid for your boo boo...he has one on his face for no reason.
 
I'm a big rap fan, but here are some awful rap lyrics:

"North Carolina
Come on and raise up
Take your shirt off
Wave it round your head like a helicopter" by Petey something or other...

And yes, the lyrics of that Train song make me want to destroy my radio. :banghead:

What about the song "I Like the Crotch on You" by the ever-classy R. Kelly?

*lovin' this thread!*

yes! ugh. most early beatles stuff had about a verse worth of actual lyrics. all those na-nas and yeah-yeahs make me :barf:

YES!! ugh this song is so annoying. now that they don't seem to write their hits anymore, the aerosmith stuff i hear on the radio now has gone in the crapper. when i first heard that song, my initial reaction was "good god did someone say 'i'll give you a dollar for every time you say jaded?'" i mean the lyrics are like "you're so jaded cuz i jaded you and that's why you're jaded because i jaded you and your name is jaded because you're jaded because i jaded you." wtf? jaded is such an overused word in songs anyway nowadays, i wonder if these people even know what it means.

I think special consideration must be given to newcomer Vanessa Carlton:

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight


...and said album is titled - get this - Be Not Nobody.
:barf: i know. the main thing that bugs me about her is that she's yet ANOTHER female singer copying off of britney. not in the slutty way, but in that way where it seems EVERY female pop singer now inhales about a tank of helium for every song they sing. i think the olsen twins had less helium in their singing when they first broke out. :tsk:

oh, and be not nobody...ooh, so artistic, so deep, it's like she combined three words hardly used together (uhh, maybe cuz it makes no sense AND is grammatically incorrect?) to make herself sound...unique! she's so unique just like avril lavigne and every other pop newcomer who although they're so goddamn unique, i can't really tell who's who by looking at them or listening to them! :rolleyes:

I concur. That stupid Tae Bo line as well as the "deep fried chicken" nonsense in Drops of Jupiter. Uggh. There are many others but Train has always bothered me.
 
Hallelujah Here She Comes said:
she listens to Mozart while she does Tai Bo
Reminds her that there's room to grow


::::shudder::::

Even more frightening is that this song includes a lyric about deep-fried chicken!

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Peace.

We also can't forget the Limp Bizkit gem:

"Gimme something to break."

If you can't see the levels in that, then you are not a music fan ;)

Peace.
 
Nellie just may take the cake

"it's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes
I am getting so hot, I'm gonna take my clothes off"

Holy sweet Jesus, my eyes have been opened by this profound piece of prose
