Regarded as the worst lyric apparantly in music history.
I don't know about much the song now as it was a bit before my time I have to be honest. But apparantly it was number 1 for massive 6 weeks this time 20 years ago.
Obviously a popular song back in those days I guess if you're old enough to remember it? Despite the weird lyric. (2:38 btw)

which at least explains your naive ramblings about one world governments and the like
what would you like to discuss exactly about the Snap! song?
Rhythm is a dancer
It's a saucepan handle...
I knew it made no sense, but combined with the crap serious as cancer bit thought it was possible.
Respect to the man
In the Ice Cream van.
...
I could never work that line out either!
For me, the worst lyrics are from the Des'ree song 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.
Just awful!
You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
Rhythm is a dancer,
smoking gives you cancer,
needles give you HIV,
doggies give you rabies,
shagging gives you babies
I just took some ecstasy.
Rhythm is a dancer
It's a source of anger...
Doesn't make much more sense though
I also seem to recall the 'serious as cancer' being a fairly common phrase at the time. I certainly heard it in a few other places although this may have been after the song was released. Even as a naive 14 yo, I couldn't help but cringe when I heard it.
Brilliant
"I'm cooking MCs like a pound of bacon"???
Yes, they're cancerous.
I think such lyrics are inspired, not dreadful:
"They're Justified, and they're Ancient,
And they drive an ice cream van.......".:D
Rhythm is a dancer
it's a souls companion
Now I find out that it is
a source of anger
All those years and it puts an entirely new spin on my younger days
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 the recipe again
Oh no........
Oh no indeed!
I think you're right and it is "it's a souls companion".
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
Rhythm is a dancer,
It's a dada dada
You can feel it everywheeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeee
Hail a gypsy-cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge
it's as if, hey, this is a song about New York, so we need to get Brooklyn Bridge in there, but what rhymes with bridge? bridge, bridge.....i know! fridge!
It's this though:
Rhythym is a dancer,
it's a soul's companion,
you can feel it everywhere
