Nominate the 3 worst song lyrics that you can recall (That have not yet been posted). Include the “artist” if you can.
I’ll start;
“Having my baby, what a beautiful way to say how much I love you.” (“artist” - not sure)
“I write the songs that make the young girls cry, I write the songs of love and speeeecial things.” (Barry Mansahoe)
“Sometimes when we touch, the honesty’s too much, yakity-yak? bla-bla? …and cryyyyyy . (“artist” - not sure)

Too many culprits to mention during the musical dark ages known as the 1970's.

Not sappy, but if you can find a worse line in a song, I don't wanna hear it:
Billy Mac, is a detective down in Texas
And though he knows just exactly what the facts is

"The Night Chicago Died"
Brother what a night it really was..
Glory beeeee.
Followed closely by "Billy Don't Be a Hero"
-
"Bill-eeee, don't be a heeee-roh,
Don't be a foool with your lii-fe!"
****************************
"Run! Joey, Run! Joey, Run...
Daddy please, don't,
it wasn't his fault,
he meeeans so much to me.
Daddy please, don't,
we're gonna get mar....ried....
Run! Joey, Run! Joey, Run..."

"If I die before I wake, feed Jake.... he's been a good dog."
Not only the line, but the whole basis for the song "Feed Jake"
-
"Wanna put your tender heart in a blender"
What kills me, is this guy was praised as being great with lyrics. Man.. I shake my head whenever one of his songs come on.

oooo.... this one is for Fatty and Creamo...
"With the space he invades he gets by on you."
This one line ruins an otherwise excellent song.

Too easy.
PUT THE BONE IN
Put the bone in
She yelled at the store
'Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in
She yelled out once more
Because the meat from the pork is so sweet
And the bone from the pork give to me
Put the bone in she begged him
As she paced across the floor
Put the bone in she yelled out once more
Put the bone in
She yelled at the store
Cause my doggie's been hit by a car
And I do want to bring him home something
Put the bone in
She yelled out once more ...
It was a flip side on a 45 I remember as a kid, I think on what that song "Seasons In The Sun", which at the time I thought was 'groovey'and is equally as hideous. Then I heard 2112 and Ted Nugent. Early seventies.
Dega, don't ruin my perfect Sunday! (well the Bucs won, so ok)

“Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby. Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby. I love you, I really do.”
This POS is stuck in my head while getting coffee on the way to the airport.
Hey NUKE; always make sure your dog gets fed. Heck, write a song to remind everyone about it. ;)

Man, this thread was a bad idea.
I hope I don't have any of these songs buzzing through my mind tommorow.

ALL OUT OF LOVE
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
Chorus:
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Chorus
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Chorus(3x)
The guys who wrote this one win the pathetic lovesick award.

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
[break]
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
[extended break]
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

Google says it's Westlife. And their hit Seasons in the Sun sucks just as hard.
Goodbye Emil, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye Emil, it's hard to die
When all the bird's are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
I wish we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the hills we could climb were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to show me right from wrong
But too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa, it's hard to die
When all the bird's are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little kids are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Francoise, my trusted wife
Without you I'd had a lonely life
You cheated lots of times with them
But I forgave you in the end
Though your lover was my friend
Goodbye Francoise, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With your lovers everywhere
Just be careful, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me joy and helped me find the sun
And every time when I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Glug, glug.

Feed Jake by Pirates of the Missisppi.... other lyrics in same song:
"Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake, feed jake, he's been a good dog"
"Now if you wear an earing, some will call you gay
But if you drive a pickup, well you must be straight"

John Prine & Iris DeMent

Ahh Meatloaf - Things in the rear view mirror appear closer than they really are
What kinda handsomehunk song is that?

Honey - Bobby Goldsboro.
Such classic lines as..
"She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad, but what the heck" WHAT The HECK!!!! :rolleyes:
"You've done What"!!!! more like.
Though I admit "Seasons in the sun" probably beats it.

Paul Anka was responsible for 'You're Having My Baby"

That accursed ketchup song!

"keep me after class,

"Anticipation" - Carly Simon
Didn't James Taylor write that? I like it, anyway.

Me and you and a dog named Boo.
Got that song stuck in my head one time while driving a tractor with no radio. That I was going to go mad.

"Worst": Any Rap/Hip hop song degrading woman, or slamming Police officers.

Not a song...but nice and sappy.....>
My "I love my wife thread"?:D
The worst and sappiest song would have to be:
"Kiss an Angel Good Morning"..artist unknown. I heard it one morning before I went deep-sea fishing...it ran through my head all day while I puked over the side of the boat.
-
Any and all songs by that B*tch Celine Dion
-
Sappy songs?...Paul Mcartney
Silly Love songs"I.........Love........You..."..Repeat until nausea.
-
Some classics here, hard to really pick a worst or sappiest.
I would add: Billy Don't Be a Hero, for it's too sappy to be a real anti-war balled lyrics, and the fact that as a 9-year-old it motivated me to go out and play Army whenever it came on.
The marchin' band came down along Main Street
The soldier-blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys"
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"
"I need a volunteer to ride up"
"And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said
She said
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away
I also have a special fondness for Yummy Yummy Yummy as it was the only song of the great late 60s rock era to really make an impression on my 3-year-old mind :)

Heard this one on the radio several years ago. The dj introduced it as the one voted in a poll as the worst TV them song lyrics in history. After listening to it, I can understand why.
Words to "STAR TREK" them song, written by Alexander Courage:
Beyond the rim of the starlight
my love is wandering in star flight.
I know he'll find
in star clustered reaches
love, strange love (snicker)
a starwoman teaches. (guffaw).
I know his journey ends never.
His Star Trek will go on forever.
But tell him while
he wanders his starry sea,
Remember,
Remember me.
Try singing that the next time you watch a rerun.
Regards, Shuckins

'74 sucked musically because it was the year between Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. ;)
'74 ruled because that's the year I was born! :D

1974.... Jr. year, traumatized by the lack of good rock and roll I turn to the "FM" dial. Yes children, as recently as 1974 FM was on the edge of legitimate and still kind of unusual to find in a standard car radio.
KMET - LA's cool rock station. The home of Dr. Demento. 94.7 this side of Heaven.

I remember hearing Dr. piped out to Minnesota in early 74'-75, back when FM used to have no commercials, and played album sides.

If I'm not mistaken, that was a British pop band that did that thing, right? That song really touched me deeply when I was like, 10 or 11 years old. Its probably what drove me to the clutches of KISS and Led Zeppelin a few years later.

KMET - LA's cool rock station. The home of Dr. Demento. 94.7 this side of Heaven.
I was in a Boy Scout summer camp in the middle of Florida and a guy in our troop was heavy into radio and electronics. He brought along all of his gear to camp and turned his tent into the radio shack, complete with spare power pack. Late at night when the solar interference was reduced, he would string an antennae up a pine and pull down Dr. Demento. Not sure what station was broadcasting it, but we didn't care. The show was edgy and had the catchy jingle "Doc-Tor De-mento-Oh Doc-tor Demento-oh!".
I think that was the same year the local stations overplayed Paul McCartney's "Wings" band tunes. I still get nauseous dry heaves whenever I hear "Somebody's knocking on the door-or, somebody's ringin' the bell. Do me a favor, open the door, and let'em in....". In fact, I'll nominate that as one of the worst songs ever.
-
Yuck, lots of bad stuff in there, including some songs that later became so ingrained in our collective consciousnesses that they became catch-phrases twenty years later, like "Looking for love in all the wrong places...".
But there were a few on that Top 100 from 1974 that continue to rock pretty well, even today:
17. Rock On, David Essex
24. Time In A Bottle, Jim Croce
55. Never, Never Gonna Give You Up, Barry White
58. Rock And Roll Heaven, Righteous Brothers
78. Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Elton John (actually, Roger Daltry did a better remake of it)
85. I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song, Jim Croce
98. Call On Me, Chicago
99. Wild Thing, Fancy

Why the hell do people sing about their tormented hearts, their undying love, the woman/man who they want back?
It's just silly. No one cares about you or your white trash trailer living homecoming queen or how she used to smile to you. Go away.
"oh but it stirs emotions. We've all experienced something similar".
Sure, but SOME don't go around parading with it tattoed on our forehead. SOME get on with it instead of whining.
F*cking suck it up and follow through. No need to be a screamy girl about such little things in life. It's not like it matters in the long run. It's not like there ain't 3 billion people of the opposite sex.
Sheeesh. I absolutely HATE love songs sung by rutabagas who have yet to experience what hardship REALLY is about.
What a bunch of schoolgirls.

I agree. That's why the best songs are about ships that go down in November storms on the Great Lakes, or guys who give their sons girly names, or big men who save the lives of miners by holding up the beam while his coworkers escape, or about surfing, or about driving really fast cars, or about Christmas, or about sensing vengence in the air tonight, or about the levee breaking, or the ultimate rock-n-roll tune about Kashmir.

I fell in love with a Mexican girl..." (Marty Robbins)

That "I am woman" thing by Helen Reddy drove me nuts, but I'll have to settle on the theme song for Billy Jack....

EVERYTHING about the movie "Billy Jack" was stupid, not just the music.

You're right - the ultimate pop song award goes to the Beach Boys for "Good Vibrations", which was considered a dud when the Boys were recording it. They thought Brian Wilson was insane (and he probably was) when he came up with the chord changes. You can't dance to it, it has no continuous beat, but the spirit is rock solid.
Ultimate Rock n Roll tune - "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin. That song is so immortal its even been soundbit'd for rap songs (which may or may not be a good thing).
Gordon Lightfoot may have been a 1 or 2-hit wonder balladeer, but he did manage to get a song right and do it so that nobody else could copy it with the same feel. Its like the national anthem by Jimi Hendrix - you can try, but you'll never be better than the original. Jimi hit the highwater mark for guitar solos with that one and nobody is going to be able to recapture that soul.
{edit: I gotta include the ultimate ballad in this post: "Ghostriders In The Sky", one of the best American folk songs turned into pop recording ever put on a 45}

Huck! Puke!
Good lyrics include:
"Out in the west-Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl..." (Marty Robbins)
Top THAT all you big city, hard rock dweebs!
Shuckins
In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to that man, José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
My wife and I get a kick out of dashboard-dancing to that one when we're in the car.
"Kashmir" may be the best rock-n-roll song written, ever. But probably the best ballad I've heard has got to be "Ghostriders In The Sky". In fact, I'm going to go back and amend it to my earlier post.
An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day,
upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
when all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw.
Their brands were still on fire, and their hooves were made of steel,
their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,
for he saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry.
Chorus:
Yipie i-oh! Yipie i-ay! Ghost riders in the sky.
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their shirts all soaked with sweat.
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet',
'cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
on horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry.
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name :
"If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range,
then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride,
tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies."

How could the band that gave us Ventura Highway and Horse with No Name simultaniously give the world Muscrat Love?
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...

Someone should hand her a mirror and let her know how butt-ugly she is. No wonder she sleeps with her dad....errrr, manager. And this from the same country that gave us Shania Twain....who I think is a better singer and a little easier to look at.

Truly a subversive thread somehow resurrected after six months, just won't die like the songs themselves.
Many magnificent candidates, but one that always prevails simply for epitomizing the double entendre is Yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy....

Dude, you have to keep going to get the full awfulness of that verse:
Billy Mac, is a detective down in Texas
And though he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off of other people's taxes
Mix in some hand claps... groan. And I Like the Steve Miller band lol.
But as far as sappy songs, for me it's a toss up between "McArthur Park" and that god awfull song from Titanic.

Still maintain... worst lyrics ever:
Inside Out
By: Eve6
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet
Chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time had gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
So Cal is where my mind states but it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami
Folded up and just pretend demented as the motives in your head
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you (Rendezvous)
I alone am the one you don't know you need take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close sink when you get close tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don't know you need you don't know you need me
Make me blind when your eyes close
Tie me to the bedpost
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through now
I'm through with you
Through with you!
Rendezvous then I'm through with you.

Worst excuse for music....Any rap noise you want to name.
Latest repetitive song. There's a hole in the world tonight. Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
Those two lines comprise 85 to 90% of the entire song lyrics. They must have bought the lyrics at a bargain basement music store. Probably the dollar store. :rolleyes:

Dirty Laundry by Don Henley. Hate that song.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Boy named Sue, Big John, too many choices, too many choices, dunno, American Pie, Zeppelin rules.

Cherry Pie by Warrant.
And if that isn't bad enough for you, whatever that song is that goes "I don't want anybody else, when I think about you I touch myself."

this one is not for everyone. it DOES contain one of the best lines in a song IMHO. So for the faint of heart, skip this post. For the rest of y'as, sit back and enjoy the greatest love song ever written. (p.s. Skuzzy delete this if ya' think it goes overboard)

.A LAP DANCE IS SO MUCH BETTER
I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert that night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love. It had been a while.
In fact, three hundred and sixty-five had come and went since that midnight run haulin' hog to Shakey Town on I-10.
I had picked up this hitchhiker that was sweatin' gallons through a pair of Daisy Duke cut-offs and one of those Fruit Of The Loom tank-tops.
Well, that night I lost myself to ruby red lips, milky white skin and baby blue eyes.
Name was Russell
Yes a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Yes a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well I find it's quite a thrill
When she grinds me against her will
Yes a lap dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin'
Well, faster than you can say, "shallow grave", this pretty little thing come up to me and starts kneadin' my balls like hard-boiled eggs in a tube sock.
Said her name was Bambi and I said, "Well that's a coincidence darlin', ‘cause I was just thinkin' about skinnin' you like a deer." Well she smiled, had about as much teeth as a Jack-O-Lantern, and I went on to tell her how I would wear her face like a mask as I do my little kooky dance.
And then she told me to shush.
I guess she could sense my desperation.
‘Course, it's hard to hide a hard-on when you're dressed like Minnie Pearl.
(CHORUS)
So, Bambi's goin' on about how she can make all my fantasies come true.
So I says, "Even this one I have where Jesus Christ is jackhammering Mickey Mouse in the doo-doo hole with a lawn dart as Garth Brooks gives birth to something resembling a cheddar cheese log with almonds on Santa Claus's tummy-tum?" Well, ten beers, twenty minutes and thirty dollars later I'm parkin' the beef bus in tuna town if you know what I mean.
Got to nail her back at her trailer.
Heh. That rhymes.
I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on when I found out she was doin' me to buy baby formula.
(CHORUS)
Day or so had passed when I popped the clutch, gave the tranny a spin and slid on into The Stinky Pinky Gulp N' Guzzle Big Rig Snooze-A-Stop.
There I was browsin' through the latest issue of "Throb", when I saw Bambi starin' at me from the back of a milk carton.
Well, my heart just dropped.
So, I decided to do what any good Christian would.
You can not imagine how difficult it is to hold a half gallon of moo juice and polish the one-eyed gopher when your doin' seventy-five in an eighteen-wheeler.
I never thought missing children could be so sexy.
Did I say that out loud?
(CHORUS)

to bad there is not English version of this :Bide et musique (http://www.bide-et-musique.com/)

The most unprintable would probably be this song:
"A-holes, b**tards, ****ing c**** and p***ks,
aerosol the bricks"...
- Plaistow Patricia, by Ian Dury & the Blockheads. Plaistow, by the way, is a town in Essex - not far from Mile End, on the Central line. No surprises there. Lots of Ian's songs referred to places in Essex, like this one -
Billericay Dicky
Had a love affair with Nina,
In the back of my Cortina,
A seasoned up hyena,
Could not have been more obscener.
She took me to the cleaners,
(and other misdemeanours!)
but I got right up between her
rum and her ribena...
...so you ask Joyce and Vicky
if candy floss is sticky
I'm not a flaming thicky
I'm Billericay Dicky
And I'm doing.... very well.[/size]
Kinda makes me want to move to Essex - not.
But as Straffo is here, the naffest lyrics I heard in a song recently were these: "Je voulais te dire que je t'attends" - Manhattan Transfer

KMET - LA's cool rock station. The home of Dr. Demento. 94.7 this side of Heaven.
Robyn Hitchcock actually wrote a song about how bad 1974 sucked.

oh man. got heat exaustion and in my delusions I remembered a worse song then any of these. Dont remember who sung it but it was on the radio alot when I was a kid.
I think its called.
"My Girl Jim" or something like that.
