re: Post some of the absolute stupidest lyrics you've ever heard.

Pretty much anything off Alanis Morrisette's first album. She tried too hard to be a poet and ended up sounding like a doofus.

quote:

---

Eiffel 65 - I'm Blue

GTFO with this. that is lyrical poetry.

I will add Pink - Funhouse:

I dance around this empty house
Tear us down
Throw you out
Screaming down the halls
Spinning all around and now we fall

Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle
Now a rash

This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down down down
I'm gonna burn it down

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun

Echoes knocking on locked doors
All the laughter from before
I'd rather live out on the street
Than in this haunted memory

I've called the movers
Called the maids
We'll try to exorcise this place
Drag my mattress to the yard
Crumble tumble house of cards

Lyrics always look stupid as frick whenever you type them out IMO

Honestly, that's not bad at all for pop music. In fact, that's pretty damn good for pop music.

A song that kind of drives me nuts because I really like the song, but many of the rhymes are painfully forced:

quote:

---

2, 3, 4

Goldenrod and the 4H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading

All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth

Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens

I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse

In the morning, at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared

All the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you

Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I found the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of your mother

On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom

In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window

In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing

All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window

All the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes

Reminds me of Still You Turn Me On by ELP. An absolutely gorgeous composition, but one line just punches you in the face with its awful forced rhyme:

quote:

---

Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder

---

Any rap song.... take your pick.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH WHEN YOU TALK SMACK ABOUT DONNA SUMMER

Donna Summer just sang a version of it, it was written by some dude named Richard Harris

quote:

---

but does she actually fricking say "and the other hand is twigging a cigarette?" :CRINGE: :CRINGE: :CRINGE:

probably the most cringeworthy lyric of the last 20+ years for me.

---

i'm pretty sure it's "flicking a cigarette." and i dont know where you got twigging from or what that even means.
