WORST lyrical songs ever?

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
There has been an onslaught of similar sounding nü-metal crap like Crossfade, Three Days Grace, Smile Empty Soul, ect... they all have cliche lyrics that involve booze and/or getting high as well as whining about parents.

How about this atrocity:

Go!

It's a-1, 2, 3
Take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine

I say, you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine

4, 5, 6
C'mon and get your kicks
Now you don’t need the money
When you look like that, do ya, honey

Big black boots
Long brown hair
She’s so sweet
With her get-back stare

Well I could see
You home with me
But you were with another man, yeah
I know we ain't got much to say
Before I let you get away, yeah

I said, are you gonna be my girl

Well a-1, 2, 3
Take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine

I said, you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine

4, 5, 6
C'mon and get your kicks
Now you don’t need the money
With a face like that, do ya honey

Big black boots
Long brown hair
She’s so sweet
With her get-back stare

Well, I could see
You home with me
But you were with another man, yeah
I know we ain't got much to say
Before I let you get away, yeah

I said, are you gonna be my girl

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
C'mon!

I could see
You home with me
But you were with another man, yeah
I know we ain't got much to say
Before I let you get away, yeah
Be my girl
Be my girl
Are you gonna be my girl?
Yeah!

I despise Jet with a passion, and those lyrics are just awful. "Because you look so fine that I really wanna make you mine??" Christ almighty.
 
that stupid Madonna song, some of the lyrics are " I do my pilattes in a room full of hotties", and something else like " I drive a mini cooper, and its really superduper" and by the way, she is rapping this part.
 
Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice... particularly this line:

"Quick to the point to the point no faking
I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon"

Like a pound of bacon? :huh:
 
I'd say Little John and the East Side Boyz..I goes "Wait till u see my...oh"

But I can't understand it with all the whispering. So I'll go with...

2 live crew: Hoochie Mama
Big booty hoes hop wit it!
Hoochie mamas hop wit it!

She ain't nothin but a hoochie mama
Hoodrat hoodrat hoochie mama!
Yeah, she ain't nothin but a hoochie mama
Hoodrat hoodrat hoochie mama!

Funny tho since this is my theme song for my neighbor. :whistle:
 
Samantha Mumba "Always Come Back to Your Love". Actually anything by her. Who the hell has she writing her lyrics? I honestly think, I'm actually not just saying this it is my honest opinion, that I could have written better lyrics for her when I was aged 11 or 12. I am 17 now and even my simplist lyrics would probably be over my head (most of my lyric writing has been inspired by Bono's absolutely stunning songwriting).

"I've been up and down,
I've been all over town"

With opening lines like that, you know it's only going to go from bad to worse...
 
After careful deliberation and summer of crap songs, I now have a 5-way tie

Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
Incomplete - Backstreet Boys
My Humps - The Black Eyed Peas
Don't Cha - The Pussycat Dolls
Fix You - Coldplay
 
"Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains"

Whenever, Wherever - Shakira

:eyebrow:
 
Scars, by Papa Roach: Worst. Song. Ever.

Amusingly, it drips with a sweet irony that it could be so trite and meaningless, yet the whiny teen angsty crowd is like 'OMG :heart: THAT SONG DESCRIBES MY LIFE'... Cliche? Very. I hope they choke.





On a different side... Rock Lobster by the B52s is a terrible song, absolutely terrible... the lyrics are crap. Yet it entrances me in some perverse way, and I love it. THEY ALL HAD MATCHING TOWELS! ba nuh nuh nuh dah nuh nah nuh nah nahhhhhhh rock lobstahhh?! ... classic. :wink:

Shakira has some messed up lyrics, but I like her anyway.
 
how many times has elevation been posted so far?

is it time to post those lyrics again?
 
It's got to be that Nickelback song where he sings "I like your pants around your knees"

Talk about embarrassing.

Almost as bad is that awful Puddle of Mudd song:
I Hate Everything About You

so painful to listen to.

Train - Drops of Jupiter. Enough said.

Man that song sucks. I haven't really paid attention to the lyrics, but they kind of must be bad, to be in a song that horrible.
 
Kevin Federline is getting to make music? What the hell? ... All sorts of talented indie bands, and that nobody marries Brattney Spears and suddenly he's first in line to be the next big thing? FFS... Our society is like a hopelessly addicted crack addict, except apparently our crack is 'terrible ideas that should never have been implemented in the first place'.

...


Dear record company executives,
That thing you're doing right now while you sit on your large piles of money; some might call it "thinking", "developing buisness strategy", "preparing to unleash hell", but whatever you want to call it: stop doing it. Take a coat hanger, straighten it out, and stick it up your nose; now, it'll hurt a little at first, but soon enough everything will blur into a happy numbness. And please, don't stop the bleeding; the blood means it's working. Stop the crimes before they happen: Abort bad ideas.
Thank you,
Common Sense



I'm going to go live under a rock... :|

Worst song of all time in my opinion and i couldn't agree with you more.

THIS BAND SOLD OUT BEFORE THEY EVEN RELEASED THE SONG

It is just terrible. simply terrible. i cringe whenever i hear it.

it's utterly awful

The sad state of Aussie rock is certainly on show here
 
I've got a few on my list:

AC/DC Big Balls- Great band, but this song is simply a few wasted minutes of metaphors about nothing but the male anatomy.

The Black Eyed Peas- My Hump- WTF?

Green Day- American Idiot- Yay! Anti-establishement! And they get teens to hate Bush without them knowing WHAT HE ACTUALLY DID WRONG!
