[MUSIC] Worst Lyrics Ever - Do You Agree??

[Corki]

This is a repost from a thread that didn't make it over in the move. Feel free to copy and paste your old post, or start a-fresh!

 

 

I read an article in one of the free London paper's a while back about the worst lyrics ever, and have just done a quick look on the BBC website to find it. From what I understand, the radio channel BBC Radio 6 had recently run a survey to see what its listeners thought were the worst lyrics ever. Click here to have a look at the top 10. Or if you are lasy, here is a low-down on those lyrics chosen:

 

#1 Des'ree - Life

I don't want to see a ghost,

It's the sight that I fear most,

I'd rather have a piece of toast,

Watch the evening news.

 

# 2 Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer

I'm as serious as cancer,

When I say Rhythm is a Dancer.

 

# 3 Razorlight - Somewhere Else

And I met a girl,

she asked me my name,

I told her what it was.

 

# 4 ABC - That Was Then But This Is Now

More Sacrifices than an Aztec priest,

Standing here straining at that leash,

All fall down,

Can't complain, mustn't grumble,

Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble

 

# 5 U2 - Elevation

I've got no self control,

Been living like a mole now,

Going down, excavation,

High and high in the sky,

You make me feel like I can fly,

So high,

Elevation

 

# 6 Toto - Africa

The wild dogs cry out in the night,

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company,

I know that I must do what's right,

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

 

# 7 Oasis - Champagne Supernova

Slowly walking down the hall,

Faster than a cannonball,

Where were you when we were getting high?

 

# 8 Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know?

And firey demons all dance when you walk through that door,

Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war.

 

# 9 Human League - The Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops,

He scans the world outside,

And where there used to be some shops,

Is where the snipers sometimes hide.

 

# 10 Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Generals gathered in their masses,

Just like witches at black masses.

 

How a few questions:

 

- Do you agree with that list?

- If you don't, nominate your own lyrics and we'll compile our own little list of the worst lyrics ever!

Club Tropicana - Wham

 

Club Tropicana,

drinks are free

Fun and sunshine,

there's enough for everyone

[Auld Manriva]

If I could fall, into the sky.

Do you think time, would pass me by?

"A Thousand Miles" Vanessa Carlton

 

Why does a hack song like this get to be famous? "I like the rhythm, I'ts easy to dance to.... Is it now.... Thats what you call what yer' doin?  ;D
