What are your most hated lyrics in songs?

I've always hated T Shirt by Shontelle:

"Try'na decide Try'na decide if
I really wanna go out tonight
Never used to go out without you
Not sure I remember how to

Gonna be late Gonna be late but
All my girls gonna' have to wait 'cause
I dont know if I like my outfit
I tried everything in my closet"

Some of Tinie Tempah's lyrics are awful too, but his songs are still good imo.

Anyone else got some lyrics they despise?

[LoveBug.]

3 Words- Cheryl Cole. The whole song I'm cringing.

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

You got me so hypnotized the way your body rolling round and round that booty keep bumping, boobies just bouncin up and down--> Plies~ Hypnotized

I love that lyric.

I think its a bit of tounge in cheek irony and it always makes me chuckle.

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.

Also, from the same album.

"I've got soul but i'm not a soldier"

Which as Bill Bailey rightly points out, sounds like a very smart right on lyric, but is actually devoid of any actual substance, it sounds clever on the surface, but its utterly hollow.

[AliBaba2010]

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?..."

[gav016]

"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".

That made me laugh, but surely it isn't the actual lyric though

It's not...

It's "hate you or miss you" and "leave you or kiss you"

[jkimble123456]

'I've got so many clothes I keep some at my aunts house'

wtf is this shit?

It is isn't it on the album, leave you is the offical release.

[jkimble123456]

'Babra Streisand'

'Dirtybit'

'Rara ahahah gaga ahahah romaromama'

lmao.

[neel]

Much as the world want to paint everything Lady Gaga does as pop at its best.

The Lyrics to "love Games" are hilariously bad. Its actually almost the exact song that Old Gregg sings to Howard Moon in the mighty boosh.

[toanythingtaboo]

Second the 'plastic bag' lyric. Shame on you Perry.

+

'When I'm late for work, a vital presentation....' SMH.

[Adidas.]

ANY song that has "DJ" in the lyrics. (JLS "You can be the DJ, I can be the dancefloor"). Argh!

It's like a pathetic attempt to be a cert to get played in a club / bar.

Fight For This Love - "Every day ain't gona be no picnic". What an awful sentence in a song.

[Electroflower]

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."

As funny as Bill Bailey can be, I think he sometimes misses the point. That lyric isn't meant to be clever, it's just sounds good aurally, it's a good chant, sing-a-long and pop lyric for that reason. That's how I interpret it, anyway. In my opinion, good pop lyrics are often banal but sound interesting or use unusual combinations of words (wheras Shayne Ward's lyrics were trying to sound normal but ended up ridiculous without meaning to be, haha.)

[Makson]

Heidi from Sugababes has had some awful lines to sing;

"When I'm walking down the street they say 'Hey sexy', in my two piece at the beach they say 'hey sexy' "

"Slipping on my little black dress, 5 inch heels I'm bound to impress"

"I got a landing strip clear for you at the airport"

"The weather is nice and wet just south of the boarder"

[yakutz]

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the Sun goes round the Moon

No. I can just about accept the first line, but the Moon never, ever goes around the sun. Ever. I thought this was widely regarded as the worst lyric in music history?

[rantdontwrite]

'I'm so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest'

What.

The.

Hell.

[warszawa]

the whole of fight for this love is laughable. its like a thirteen year old wrote it for a school project.

[Mrscee]

one from years ago

rhythm is a dancer by snap

I'm serious as cancer
when I say
rhythm is a dancer!

[ajman]

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

I'm afraid of the dark,
'specially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around,

Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

I'm a superstitious girl,
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders,
I keep a rabbit's tail

I'll take you up on a dare,
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there,
Bungee jumping, I don't care!

So after all is said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to

Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon

[Squealer_Mahony]

Katy Perry: We can dance until we die
It just ruins the song especially as the emphasis is on DIE

Britney Spears Piece Of Me where she goes on about being a working mother.

Justin's Take it from here has some awful cringey lines as well which disrupt an otherwise pleasant tune

Oasis - in the palm of her hand theres a blister.

[glyn9799]

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'

Kylies 'Cowboy Style' also has some pretty bizarre lyrics...
'Cowboy style with a peaceful smile
You are from the temple won't you stay a while'
Eh???

[I love Ellie]

Any studenty crap from the Manic Street Preachers.
