Always loved The Corrs but the lyrics for I Never Really Loved You Anyway always made me barf
"You like watching MTV while I like dreaming in an MT bed"

"Before you go I must remember to send a thank you note to that girl, does she know you're not a spender?" (cringeeeee)

I'm surprised that line has not been bolded ! When I heard it I was like WHAT THE F(**K?!?!?!?! Catchy tune but I can't help but to laugh at the lyrics!!!! Especially the part "twinkle twinkle little star" - reading it makes me crack up even more !!!

On the subject of awful lyrics, here are some I can think of:

Justin Timberlake - Sexyback

I’m bringing sexy back
Them other mother ****ers' don’t know how to act
Come let me make up for the things you lack
'Cause you're burning up I gotta get it fast

Take 'em to the bridge

Dirty babe
You see the shackles
Baby I’m your slave
I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave
It’s just that no one makes me feel this way

Take 'em to the chorus

Timbaland f/Soshy & Nelly Furtado - Morning After Dark:

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after

When the cats come out the bats come out to play, yeah
In the morning after
The dawn is here, be gone, be on your way, yeah
In the morning after dark

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"

Really? I've always liked the song, although I accept that I may be biased as I would like Shontelle with nothing but my T-shirt on.

Yes, there are lyrics I despise. I just have to find the ones I can type without wanting to vomit over my monitor.

As a general one, I hate anything with "the morning light" in, just as I hate any line ending in 'baby' as it will always, ALWAYS be coupled with 'maybe'.

Now, unless it's a town full of jails, I would surmise that it would be fairly obvious where a jailbreak is going to happen...

I'm only going to say this once.

Thin Lizzy are beyond all reproach. Step the f**k off.

(Actually, my dad brought that one up, too.)

Rita Ora ft Tinie RIP

Tinie "I will make you call me daddy even though you ain't my daughter" Cringe Cringe Cringe Cringe Cringe Cringe Cringe.

[Tiki - Taka]

Any song where another artist (and their lyrics) are mentioned, like Conor Maynard's "Vegas Girl"

"I’ll knock you down like you’re Keri
Forget your name like Rihanna
You can run the world, Queen B
Be unthinkable, Alicia"

Don't ask me why, but I just can't stand it. It takes the shine off of any song for me.

I don't class lyrics such as "A pizza hut, a pizza hut, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut" as bad lyrics... Because that is clearly the whole point of the song (to sound cheesy, pointless and stupid)

It annoys me more when artists try to sound clever and witty, and end up sounding stupid (e.g. the Tinie Tempah lyrics above mine)

[Rui_Phillips]

Far East Movement are repeat offenders

"Yo, hell yeah, dirty bass
Ghetto girl, you drive me cray
Hell yeah, dirty bass
Yo, yo"

This beat make me go wow
This drink make me fall down
I party hard like carnival
Let's burn this motha down

[Bex.]

"I’m gonna saint your mother just for giving you birth"

Never crossed your mind that the words are "Empty bed" then?

Not all singers but Dappy throws in a few names on "No Regrets". Ugh.

"Gimme some, gimme some sweet F.A.
Have a nice day as Americans say and
Scream if you wanna go faster baby
Scream if you wanna go faster"

[kenny12]

Jackie. O. We loved her so
So did 'Mr. President'
As far as we know!

Norma Jean had a Seven Year Itch
Some like It Hot to a Fever Pitch

Sandy, Danny, Summer Love
Pink Ladies, T-Birds, Blue Mood Above!

That's all in the past
Legends built to last
but we've got something new

She's a power girl
in a 90's world
and she knows just what to do

'Cos the lady is a vamp
She's a vixen not a tramp
She's a da da da da da da da

Come on fellas place your bets
'Cos you aint seen nothing yet
She's the talk of the town she's the best (yes)

Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh,
Sporty yes now that's your lot
We're the Spice Girls ready to go

Ladies and Gents
won't you please take your seats
and we hope
that you
enjoy the show!

'Thankya verr much!'

And Tinchy Stryder...

"Tell Cheryl Cole and Rihanna that I love them"

In that one he did with Pixie Lott, song title escapes me ATM


Oh and talking of them two, their duet Spaceship,

"I got one or two on my list, lemme tick em off, Rochelle from the Saturdays, Pixie Lott"

[ICON111]

How do you think I feel when you call my name
You got me confused by the way I have changed

WTF?

I usually agree, but I think Ed Sheeran namedrops meticulously well in "You Need Me, I Don't Need You".

"When I perform live feels like I am meditating
Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me
Young singer-writer like a Gabriella Cilmi"

"Cos with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right,
I won't stop till my name is in lights
At stadium heights with Damien Rice, on red carpets

That is the point - the lyrics printed on the album booklet had "MT" bed like it was clever

[Rip the TV Eye]

I also hate the numerous songs that rhyme 'radio' with 'the songs we/you/I know'.

[woofwoof77]

Take That- Back for good


'got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup'

i cringe every time

[woofwoof77]

all the lyrics in ' mama' Spice girls , make me cringe too

[woofwoof77]

Girls aloud- life got cold


We text as we eat
As we listen to the freaks
As we wait for the right of way
We text as we talk
We're running as we walk
Cos we surf our little souls away
We smoke as we choke
As we sink another Coke (always wondered are they singing about drugs here )
And we grin when it blows our mind

"The wild dogs cry out in the night, as they grow restless longing for some solitary company.....I know that I must do what's right, sure as Kilamanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti"

Toto - "Africa"


A great band, and actually a great song, but that lyric is bloody awful.

Agreed. It always made my saliva curdle.
