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

[Rooster893]

"Slap a girl, and make it jiggle."

 

[messy]

Basically any song that you're meant to dance too (a lot of songs mentioned her; black eyed peas, lady gaga etc.). E.g there is this one song called Riverside

Spoiler: this is the clean version, the real version just replace riverside with a term that is used to imply one engages in sexual relations with another's mother

Now the lyrics are terrible; now to dance to this is just awesome, but how you sit around and that's all you can come up with is amazing.

Chase and status normally have good lyrics for dance songs

"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?

I've woken up feeling p diddy but that's a completely different story and one for the courts to decide on

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.

I have to admit i kinda agree with you ,ironically RATM are one of the few bands who actually follow up on their anti-establishment threats i remember hearing of the time they filmed a segment of one of their videos (forget which one, it`s listed somewhere on wiki though so take it with a pinch of salt i guess)down at the stock exchange and got kicked out of the building for trying to disrupt tradeing they also supported some rebel group from central America (as i recall it`s somewhere in or around mexico)which let`s be honest is more than most bands do

Stream of consciousness for craptastic lyrics:

Nickelback
Linkin Park
P.O.D.

All with lyrics written by guys with a 200-word vocabulary, so they come up with rhymes like 'this' and 'exists'.

The Flaming Lips (For sheer ridiculousness).

For lyrics sung by people who have no business fronting a band, I'd have to go with Sean Killian of Vio-Lence.

Nickleback also gets shitty points for their singer, who sounds like he's defecating when he sings.

POD is a backdoor Jesus band, ala Switchfoot. That makes them bigger wussies than any former member of NSYNC.

 

[Red Right Hand]

Iron Maiden. Yes we all love them, but by god they are terrible!

 

[clairedelune]

So I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I as on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrrived in front of the dormitory
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in the mouth,
I was so in shock my heart went down south
So please listen to the message that I say
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend

 

[SimuLord]

What, no mention of the legendary Neil Diamond here?

"I am, I said/To no one there/And no one heard at all/Not even the chair".

The 70s were littered with "singer/songwriters" writing the most incomprehensible, gods-awful popular music ever composed by man (and yes, I'm including modern screamo in that list). For every Harry Chapin or James Taylor, you had a bunch of stuff like "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" or "Horse With No Name".

"Texted you on a Monday, but you didn't get it until Tuesday, because I have a network problem." (Cookie for reference)

 

[Arkhangelsk]

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

But... They're so uplifting...

"She's Got the Jack" by AC/DC

She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack

That's seriously what the chorus is.

"Texted you on a Monday, but you didn't get it until Tuesday, because I have a network problem." (Cookie for reference)

You texted me on a Thursday
To say that you would meet me at the shopping centre
And I texted you back and said
"Where should i meet you?"
And you said Dixons
But i did not know which Dixons you meant
Was it the one inside the door
Or was it the one further up by Currys
...These are my worries..

Sorry, I should have asked for examples. Please, offer up some "Rage Against the Machines" lyrics that have no substantial meaning. I had no idea they were now after a plurality of machines, they must be fighting on multiple fronts

But what the Hell, I'm a truth addict (aww shit I gotta head rush!)

I bloody love Bill Bailey.

A lot of Amon Amarth is lolworthy. Epic, awesome, but lolworthy.

but what takes the cake?

"Skullfuck! Skullfuck!"

Sometimes, you can't help but feel smarter than Trivium.

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST

Besides from the repetition of the same sentences over and over, here is another way to look at it: You are driving your car down the road with a friend when you get pulled over by a cop.

Cop: "Sir, please step out of the car, you are driving erratically."
You: "Fuck no! I won't do what you tell me!!!"
Your friend: "Yes sir, officer." [Gets out of car]
You: "And now you do what they told ya!"
Your friend: "Yeah, dude. I don't want to get raped in jail. You should, too."
Cop: "Listen to your friend, sir. Get out of the car."
You: "Fuck no! I won't do what you tell me!!!"
Cop: "Thank you God for this amazing job." [Tazes you repeatedly] "Stop resisting." [Taze] "Stop resisting." [Taze]


When you think about it, all it is is rebellion that's only being done just to say you are rebelling.

"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.

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.

My friend and I were discussing this very turd just the other day. No one who listens to this brain-wrinkling (cookie for the recent reference) trash seems to know that it's an old song. We were discussing if it's a royalty song, public-domain, or future lawsuit. I don't know if you read my earlier stab at MILEY! but a friend and I jumped on the same wavelength the first time either of us heard that "got my eyes on you song" and when the chorus came, we both had on our sunglasses at night.

I suppose some philosopher who's name I don't know because I'm not a pedantic fuckwit would say it is not bad, it simply is. But I say fuck that. People like Scott "I'll call myself a televangelist on VH1 but I'll still try to make a porn with Kid Rock" Stapp, who cover themselves in oil and market their manscaped chest to tween girls before singing about Jesus because, let's face it, Jesus is a big market and that's what Jesus would do, do not deserve to sit at the same table as Jello Biafra and Robert Plant.

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...

Ladies and gentleman, the troll-pportunist. I suppose talented rappers like the scrawny white guy from Linkin Park are off your shit list.
