    It's an obvious choice but Des'ree's 'Life' always cracks me up.

    I remember this being played ad nauseum when it came out.

    Thankfully, the lyrics have since been recognised for their awfulness. There's even an article on the Beep's website about it from 2007: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6626239.stm

    I still can't believe the track got so much play with the "ghost/toast" line...definitely one of the most cringeworthy lyrics in music history.

    Toto - Africa

    As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

    It doesn't even scan properly!

    I've been to southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe

    If he has been to Scunthorpe, it won't ruin the lyrics because I've heard of another place that rhymes with Scunthorpe.

    That 'Cooler than Me' song has such cringey lyrics.

    None of those are as bad as some of Shayne Ward's which are hilarious, I always think these two in particular must have been written by a drunk person or something:

    "I wanna make you feel like you are heaven on earth
    I'm gonna saint your mother just for giving you birth"

    "There was something sexy 'bout your voice
    Everything you say makes a beautiful noise."

    :D

    You beat me to it, lol! :D "If it's ok with you" also features "I wanna keep your toothbrush in my appartment" :eek:

    That Cheryl Cole track

    Skylark-lark-lark-lark
    Skylark-lark-lark-lark

    Let me guess, they heard some French and thought they'd try and use it and sound cool.

    I love Fergie, and the song, but I cringe at 'I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket' in 'Big Girls Don't Cry' :eek: :

    Great song though. :cool: But add to that one ( from the Black Eyed peas):

    "My humps my humps my hump, my lovely lady lumps.
    Check it out." * :eek:

    * sorry if the lyrics there a bit wrong, I'm 33 so I'm not exactly down and 'with it' with the yoof. :D

    Rihanna - Photographs

    Heres a little story i gotta tell
    Bout this boy i know so well
    ...
    Thought he was the one for me
    Other boys I could not see

    Rihanna - Stupid In Love

    So I made it, even though Katie
    Told me that this would be nothing but a waste of time
    And she was right

    Its a shame cos Rated R is such an awesome album. The lyrics let it down.

    All of Cheryl Cole - The Flood. I read them on here a couple of months ago and LMAO.

    "This beat is hot this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" - Gaga. Just embarrassing.

    There's probably loads but a lot of songs have **** lyrics. It's nothing new :)

    "I'm wearing all my favourite brand, brands, brands, brands" is quite painful to listen to.

    Or that Saturdays lyric where it's like "I don't know if I should stab you or kiss you".

    The lyric is "slap" on the album.

    It isn't on mine. The single version was changed to slap but on the album it's stab you or kiss you, unless later printings had the single version put on instead.

    For me, much as I think its one of the best pop rock albums of the last decade, Hot Fuss by the killers is full of cringe worthy "did he really just say that" moments.

    For example:

    Glamorous Indie Rock and and Roll could basically be posted in full:

    "Indie rock'n'roll is what I want
    It's in my soul, it's what I need
    Indie rock'n'roll, it's time"

    It actually phyically makes me cringe. I can't fully explain why, its the sort of socially uncomfortable feeling you get from Gareth in the office.

    "A coffee shop with a cause, then I'll freak you out"
    Right Brandon...
    Believe Me Natalie is a bit odd too
    "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?..."

    That reminds me of this one from Sister I'm a Poet by Morrissey:
    "A plastic bag stranded at the lights
    This once was me ..."

    Cheryl Cole seems to be a repeat offender.
    Fight For This Love, 3 Words, Parachute, Promise This and The Flood are all brutal lyrically.:mad:

    Other Pop artists have the occaisional bad lyric, but all of her songs have at least one major clanger.:rolleyes:

    Far East Movement

    "When we drink we do it right/Gettin' slizzard... Sober girls around me they be acting like they drunk... Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6" although god help me it's a catchy tune lol

    The entirety of Puff Daddy's (or whatever he calls himself these days) 'I'll Be Missing You'. Prime example - 'give anything to hear half your breath, I know you're still living your life after death'. Absolute kindergarten tommyrot, and synonymous with an embarrassing episode in mass hysterical sentimentality.

    "What does it really mean when you dream of being famous and sucessfull when you was born to be SPESHULLL"

    Tinie Tempah is an awful lyricist.

    Hate to be the ruiner, but if you're going to diss a song, at least get the lyrics right.

    Is that aimed at me? Those lyrics are right.
