Poll: What are the worst lyrics you've ever heard?

Water, water everywhere and
all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere not a drop to drink."

iron maiden rime of the ancient mariner, they have really great lyrics but these sound so goddamn cheesy

That's taken from a poem, The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (which is what Maiden based the song on). So they didn't actually write those lyrics. Their lyrics are, on the whole, usually pretty good in my opinion.

OT: for me, the worst lyrics are from Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas. 'I'm so 2000 and eight/ you're so 2000 and late'.
Really?... That doesn't make any sense at all...

Anything by Lady Gaga deserves a mention as well.

I read an interview with a crazy electronic band with a cute Japanese/Swedish lead singer. When they asked her about Lady Gaga, she said "Crazy clothes, boring commercial music. Yawn, next."

[Insert chart topping pop song] You know the ones, they're all the same so you can never actually think of one when trying to argue against it. I can never really remember bad lyrics because I actively try to get it out of my head as soon as possible.

The Distillers

(believe it or not, she's actually pretty hot underneath all that shit)

The tall guy should try washing his hair.

OT: Any song where the lyrics are just repeated over and over again. Womanizer, I got a feeling, etc.

Also, brokeNCYDe

I find her retardedly attractive in that picture and in her early days with the charged hair and whatnot but I'm different from most people.

I stopped masturbating to Brodie out of solidarity after she stepped all over Tim's heart. All the cute punk girls stopped talking to me as a result.

"You?re a sacrificial suicide, like a dog that?s been sodomized" - Green Day

um...yeah, thats my nomination

 

[Amarok]

my hump, my hump my hump my hump my hump, my lovely lil' lumps

OR

Oh I wish I was a punk rockerrrr with flowers in my hair
(one stop towards that dream would be stop singing shitty pop songs)

"No I don't listen to any of that Staind, POD bullshit, that Creed nonsense. It's just this simplistic 10th grade suburban white girl lyrics that should not be coming out of 40-year-old men. I would rather hear the death rattle of my only child then listen to that shit for 5 minutes. What do they do, just sit inside a junior high locker room waiting for the inspiration to hit? 'I will take you higher, yes, that's it!'" --David Cross

That is a beautiful quote, and I'd like it on my headstone, please.

Yeah, the most annoying thing about Linkin Park is the fact that they're 40-year-old men cashing in on teen angst. This sums it up nicely.

It's stupid/not funny after the first minute or so, but the beginning is priceless. Somebody should do this to Evanescence.


Ooo, ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo! I forgot about 3 Days' Grace. No offense to any fans if it's actually not them, just assume I'm referring to any one of the dozens of shit bands that sound exactly like them.

"You come home, and I am ALREADY STONED!
You turn off the TV, and you SCREAM AT ME!"

When will Nu metal die?

I'm too young to know the songs that my producer ripped..."

Eh, wot?

The tall guy. As in the one towering over all of them.

 

[omega 616]

N-dubz, for Christ sake one of them is called dappy, any band were one of them has a nick name like that will never release a good song.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

Hey, Ozzy is a better singer than he is a talker, and I actually like Styx.

My vote would go to any singer who doesn't really sing, either that or a singer who is more popular than they are talented.

My best example would be that shit that those weird people made, the uhh..."Boom Boom Boom" song? I don't follow that crap anymore.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

Dude, all Vampire Weekend and Taylor Swift and all pop-oriented music, because nowadays music is only ever popular when it isn't serious or political. people are shit, and they're only getting stupider and stupider to just ACCEPT whatever MTV and mainstream media WANTS them to consume. Where did the beauty and style of classic artists go? where did the speed and power of 80s thrash go? why can a movie about giant robot testicles exploding make more money than a deep politically-charged movie that uses discrimination against aliens in africa as an allusion to modern-day segregation? It's Idiocracy happening all around us

 

[GreyWolf257]

Almost anything by "Rage Against the Machines". Every time I hear one of their songs I want to punch a kitten in the face because it sounds as if though it either means something or as if though it has a lot of emotion to it. It never really means anything (at least anything substantial, and it just seems pointless), thus the emotion is useless and meaningless.

 

[SmartIdiot]

Hard to say...

As much as I love them, many of Bring Me The Horizons early lyrics are pretty dreadful >.<
For example, this passage from (I used to make out with) Medusa
Your beauty is no more.
So why don't you just fuck yourself, you fucking whore?
Oh, your beauty is no, no more.
So why don't you just fuck yourself, you stupid fucking whore?

Argh... makes my skin peel itself. If you disregard the lyrics it's actually quite good but... man that's awful...

Or this, from Traitors Never Play Hangman.

I'm speaking these words... and I'm talking to the mirror

You're a traitor to my heart
You're a traitor to us fucking all

Eh... again, good song if you just miss a few of the lyrics.

This is a BAD thing? Making cheesy, stereotypically 'dark' lyrics to make a mint off the endless ocean that is teenage wangst? It's not 'pure and true to the music', god knows, but damned if it doesn't make me enjoy them just for their business plan.

EDIT: OT, my sister's into the new big thing, which is taking an older, better song, synthesizing the new singers to the point of absurdity, changing a handful of lyrics, and setting it all to a pre-recorded bass-and-MIDI background. My friends, I give you: nu-plagarism.

i was gonna say anything thats rap but then i was like meh. then i decided that it really is anything thats rap. especially 'rap-sung-by-black-people' or as i would call it, niggar-rap...

 

[Trotgar]

DragonForce's lyrics are bad. They are almost always just random lines thrown into a pile.

 

[Disaster Button]

"Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy" That's from that god awful song by that whore Kesha.

I mean what does waking up in the morning feeling like P Diddy ACTUALLY feel like?
