I was listening to the radio earlier and I actually had to change the station, the lyrics of the song irritated me so badly. The lead singer kept singing:
"What don't kill ya
Make ya more strong."
Anyone else know of particularly bad lyrics that you want to share?

Interesting. Someone just told me I should think about this title for my book, "What Doesn't Kill"
(makes you strong). -
Most people don't listen to the lyrics as John Popper pointed out in his song "Hook". Many people thought that it was a love song. The song was actually about people not listening to the lyrics and making assumptions that it's a love song. He was right on the money-
Some people thought that song, "Every breath you take" (police) was a love song too--but it was just about the opposite--about a stalker.
-
Mike: I didn't know that! I never understood what the heck he was saying. I just looked up the lyrics... too funny
-
"Every breath you take" would be one creepy love song
-
Agreed--but Sting said that many people thought it was a love song.
-
I've heard people say they wanted to use that song for their first wedding dance. That always made me laugh. -
That's the reason behind my public service announcement: www.squidoo.com/creepy-love-songs

The dumest song lyrics...
"I Wish You Were A Beer" - Psycho Sluts From Hell. -
Brad Paisley's "I Want To Check You For Ticks" is kind of lame.
-
That sounds very lame!
-
The name Brad Paisley's sounds lame in the first place.

Hi RTBjr73. It's. Almost.Time. For. Baseball.
BOO-YEAH! -
Yeah baby!!!!!!!!!
I'm still thinking about taking you up on that trip to Fenway next summer!!! -
Hey hey hey. There'll be no trips without me!
Who will bring the cookies? -
The cookies will be baked AND brought by you, Ninja...remember the dead rat gift to your landlord?
LOL -
Ooh yes, I'd forgotten about that. *muwahahahaha*
-
Anytime, Tommy--you just let me know.

Lyrics that eternally amuse me- courtesy of Mr. Neil Diamond...
"'I am,' I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair."
Not EVEN the chair...
If the man was expecting the possibility of a chat with his recliner? I'm sorry to say poor Mr. Diamond needs a therapist to talk to, as well.-
ROTFL I forgot about the nigh-immortal Mr. Diamond. Let's see, Diamond, Paisley, and other lame names with bad lyrics?

Any song by Cake

No way! Stickshifts and Safety Belts is a classic.
"Stickshifts and safety belts
And bucket seats have all got to go
When we're driving in the car
They make my baby seem so far
I need you here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat..."
Pure poetry!
Okay, so I'd agree with you on every other song of theirs that I've heard, but I like this one.

My niece had a song about shoes on her ipod www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCF3ywukQYA It was enough to make me want to ram my head into the wall.-
I'm at work, is that the song sung by a crossdresser?
-
That song fascinates me LOL
Think about it, it's a reflection of society at this moment in time. And it's eerily accurate....
(OK, the lyrics suck, but the video was funny as hell - I mean, a guy in a purple bodysuit and cape? You can't beat that!) -
Yes. AGGGGG! Pounding my head!!!!!
Can't say it facinates me I grew up watching the guy in the body suit that had body organs. AGGGGG! -
Slim Goodbody?
Edited to add: W.T.F. There was so much wrongness in that Shoes video. And those $300 shoes were hideous! -
Shirley- MR GOODBODY, right? I totally forgot about him. What was he on?
-
Yes! PBS I couldn't remember his name but the image is ingrained.
-
It was the 80s. I vote, "Coke."
-
*Snicker* Nice one, Legbamel.
-
Pepsi and we can watch Micheal Jackson's hair.

If you want a whole subculture of crappy lyrics, listen to some Emo.
