WORST lyrical songs ever?

[Aardvark747]

Has anyone heard of The Locust?

Another dreadful band in the same vain as CC. The album I have in here right now, has 23 'songs' on - and lasts in total just over 20 minutes....

Here is one lovely titled example:-

Priest With The Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Get Out Of My Bed


"Santa Claus hijack, fuck-a-rama
always getting a good look
at the meat rack
Before shooting blanks into a loaded crowd

Hypothetical hunger is not directly proportional to hypothetical appetite"

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Cannibal Corpse are hilarious in an odd kind of way. I mean, the name itself is just outrageously funny, isn't it?

I read somewhere they write their lyrics by sitting in a group and thinking of the grossest things possible and putting them down.

 

[Dalton]

How quickly we forget.....


Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you



To Be With You by Mr. Big


Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.....

I'm going to make one pathetic attempt, and one only to get back to the original thread with the Police "Doo doo doo, daa daa daa". Thank you, you can all go back to the rotting anuses and eating entrails stuff now.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.

'Le Moribond' was a great song, too.

We were already on topic. Why do you think we were talking about rotting anuses, etc.? Certainly those can't be called good lyrics.

 

[2Hearts]

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

Sounds like Shakespeare.

 

[lmjhitman]

That made me laugh. You should have told him that he might attract a pretty girl someday if he would stop listening to Cannibal Corpse.

i was a little frightened at that point and just wanted to end the conversation. and i steered well clear of him after that, too. if i saw him walk into the store, i made sure i was 'busy' in the back. i worked with a lot of guys at the store, and it didn't help that they followed me around for weeks after that saying, 'you're really pretty,' in that creepy voice.


sorry, i guess i should keep this on topic. um, ok, bad lyrics...

a mole, living in a hole
digging up my soul
going down, excavation

not nearly as bad a cannibal corpse but still, they're quite terrible, aren't they?

 

[Numbology]

Neunundneunzig Luftballons....

 

[2Hearts]

Not really. It just suggests that you've lost touch with your soul, heart, or whatever you want to call your spiritual element, and want to reconnect.

 

[LJT]

The likes of Elevation were never meant to be lyrically great songs...so i never understand why people keep going on about how bad its lyrics are ...its meant to be just a great fun rocker...something to jump about to having a laugh, and maybe as 2hearts says its about reconnecting with your heart/soul....laughter is soul food...tis a good song to do that

....and on the note of bad lyrics, anybody ever recall a song by a dutch group...'No, no, n-n-no, no no no, there's no limit'...constantly repeated with a very awful awful awful rap in it...not only was it not fun it was irritating

 

[wolfeden]

heartlandgirl: *heh* still singing the sorrow, I am...
---------------

now now, if you're gonna bring Cannibal Corpse into this, it's only a short step to GWAR...... Sexcuse me!!

...but getting back to stuff that isn't intentionally cringeworthy...

..George Michael's "Father Figure" gives me the *creeps*.

 

[Jack In The Box]

but Cannibal Corpse and The Locust are all about that

you can't blame them for "bad lyrics" (actually by 'Safety Second, Body Last' by The Locust is a great album, noisy and fast), because their topics for songs are different, isn't about what wonderful the world is or what sad you are because you broke up with you girlfriend/boyfriend

for a school project I will use a Cannibal Corpse or Carcass song

Be careful.... scaring the SHIT out of your teachers/professors is a sure way to get a failing grade!!!

Be careful.... scaring the SHIT out of your teachers/professors is a sure way to get a failing grade!!!

The vast majority of teachers will just think you're trying to get attention, and see this stuff as childish and immature.

I've already made the point earlier in this thread that these lyrics are indeed piss poor. Maybe not 100% of them, but it doesn't take long to find an entire verse or two that are as boneheaded as any other lyrics posted here.

 

[2Hearts]

Carcass lyrics on the whole are MUCH better written than Cannibal Corpse. Now if we're talking "Descanting the Insalubrious"-era Carcass, then there are a ton of bad lyrics. On that album, there are numerous instances where they just string together a bunch of words that do not belong together.

 

[FlyYourKite]

my vote goes to gwen stefani's hollaback girl.

the song makes no sense. the bad rapping, the hollaback girl thing, the bananas... what is she on about?

That song makes me want to gouge my eyes out!!

 

[XHendrix24]

Nonono. I believe I've found the winner.

Britney Spears - Do Somethin'

Do you feel this
I know you feel this
Are you ready
I dont think so

Somebody give me my truck
So I can ride on the clouds
So I can turn up the bass like

Somebody pass my guitar
So I can look like a star
And spend this cash like

Whatcha gonna do when the crowd goes ayo?
Why ya'll standin on the wall?
Music`s startin everywhere
So why dont u just move along

I see your looking at me
Like i'm some kind of freak
Get up outta your seat
Why dont you do somethin'?

I see your looking at me
Like I got what you need
Get up outta your seat
Why dont ya do somethin'?

now your all in my grill
cuz i say what i feel
only rock to whats real
never gonna bump bump
but i cant do that with you
only here with my crew
you can roll if you can
don`t be a punk punk

whatcha gonna do
when the crowd goes ayo?
why ya'll standin on the wall?
music startin everywhere
so why don`t you just move along?

I see your looking at me
like im some kind of freak
get up out your seat
why dont you do somethin'?

na na na na na na na na na na na
uh huh
na na na na na na na na na na na

I see you looking over here

if you know like I know

Starin at us
Wow
get your own space
and do somethin'

FREAK
do somethin'
oww
why don`t you do somethin'



Note: All of the "Do Somethin"s are pronounced "Do Suh In." Just for reference.

 

[Zoots]

Oh. My. God.

Britney Spears...

 

[corianderstem]

Why doncha DO sum'in!

That song is dumbest of the dumb ...

... but I kind of like it, as far as big, dumb pop songs go.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

a mole, living in a hole
digging up my soul
going down, excavation

A while ago a radio station here (JJJ for you Aussies) had a phone in competition for anyone who could do better than the abovementioned "lyrics". My fave:

A train
Going to Balmain
And coming back again
Central Station

If that aint poetry, I don't know what is.

 

[2Hearts]

now your all in my grill
cuz i say what i feel
only rock to whats real
never gonna bump bump
but i cant do that with you
only here with my crew
you can roll if you can
don`t be a punk punk
and do somethin'

This is indeed horrible. Can you imagine these lyrics in 'Elevation'? Bono could never write anything this bad. Just look at the line "you can roll if you can". Nice one.

a mole, living in a hole
digging up my soul
going down, excavation

Can anyone please explain why these lyrics are so bad? It must be the 'mole, living in a hole' line, because the rest is just fine. And even the 'mole' line is somewhere between average and fair. Certainly not the abomination it's made out to be.

 

[the soul waits]

Well, I for one like Elevation, the whole thing : the lyrics, the woohooo's, the music.
It rawks.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Elevation

 

[1stepcloser]

elevation f*cking rocks and i really don't care that it has poor lyrics

 

[u2popmofo]

elevation f*cking rocks and i really don't care that it has poor lyrics

Exactly how I've felt about the vast amount of other songs people have posted on here.

It's all relative. If its ok for U2 to make songs that "werent supposed to have good lyrics", why is it not for everyone else?

I don't think Elevation has bad lyrics....they are fun lyrics....just kinda fun to shout them out loud....i think it takes some kind of genius to have yeahs and ooooohs in the proper places in songs

 

[smurf_sista]

lol most of the songs you guys have said (exept the corpse ones) my best mate loves!!! persionaly i HATE EVERY LAST ONE!!! but i mean what about Avril - sk8ter boi or what ever
1) she can't spell and the way she's spelt it is shocking!!!
2) i quote
He was a skater boy, i said see you later boy.!!
LAZY JUST LAZY!!!

 

[Nate Dogg]

Is Cannibal Corpse playing Live8?

 

[impy13]

There is a song that gets constant radio attention despite its cookie-cutter sound and awful lyrics. This song is "Cold" by Crossfade, and it is the bane of my existence.

Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannnot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you

And I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now i can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
I never meant to be so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me theres just no hope
I never meant to be so cold


I just threw up in my mouth after reading it again.
