What is the strangest line you have heard in a song?

I had to do a double take in:
Shakira - She Wolf -
'I'm starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office'

shakira has form for silly lyrics. although, gloria estefan co-wrote `whenever, wherever` and this line was definitely one of those moments.

`lucky that my breasts are small and humble,
so you don't confuse them with mountains`.

Here's one from Sugababes 2.0
Joy Division
'I ain't just a piece of meat sitting in a delicatessen'

Katy Perry's infamous opening line for Firework;

"Do you ever feel,
like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?"

Lady Gaga's Pokerface;

"I'm bluffin' with my muffin." Makes me cringe....

I was just about to type the Firework one. The song in general makes me cringe.

I always think of the American Beauty film when I hear the plastic bag reference in Firework. I don't know if that was intentional but I love both song and film.

I'm pretty sure it's something to do with translation from their native language? Could be wrong on that but I'm sure I read that as an explanation for She Wolf (Although I think the coffee line is awesome!)

Nicola Roberts - Gladiator 'and if my balls of steel have stuck half way down your pipe, I got some KY, time to open open open wide'

Or something like that

That line could possibly be a reference to the Teton mountain range in the Rockies - Tetons means 'breasts' in French and early French voyageurs called them 'Les Trois Tetons'

Alexandra Burke's Bury Me:

You need to think about this moment
Before you eat around this doughnut
You ain't got time for me
I'm on to another recipe

Doughnut!? I mean wtf...

Another vote for Katy Perry's Firework.
I get what she's saying, and it's a nice positive message, etc.
But really? A plastic bag is the strongest thing she could come up with?

By the way, I don't think Shakira should count, as she uses a rhyming dictionary to write her songs.

Pretty much every Nicki Minaj lyric, to be honest.

Did It On 'Em is awful. As is her rap on Rihanna's Raining Men...

Nicki Minaj - Roman In Moscow

When I landed out in London
It was looking like Mike Dare, Mike Jack
Who's bad, ain't know my period
But I got a new pad
Channel 5, news flash
P-ssy clean, who smash
None of y'all, canary yellow ball
These b-tches should be worshipping me in the synagogue

I mean SERIOUSLY?! How does that even really make sense.

Alexis Jordan - Good Girl springs to mind
"You got what it takes. You better have some cake."

Also Will.i.am and Nicki Minaj - Check It Out has a few stupid lyrics. This one's my favourite:
"I stay niggerrific you don't need to ask why. You just got to see with your eyes."
wut.

that is possibly the worst lyric ever and the song is a joke that just keeps on giving.

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

I like The Fratellis music but their lyrics are crap

Take your pick
She said oh my, I don't know why
I was just busy watching everyone go by
Outside the shite bar, and you're a red car
Me and your girlfriend and your sister with the big scar

I said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I once heard? You drive a bluebird?
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard

And it's all right, she'll be sucking fingers all night
Wearing those shoes, oh any excuse to go to the gang fight
And oh she's alright, everybody says she's uptight
Sick in the head, first in the bed
So easy to be Friday's nightmare

I said oh no, oh please just go
You got no eyelids and sweet ella loves me so
She got my number, though I can't stand her
I can't help diggin her a hope I guess I wonder
And oh it's clear, you want me dear
It would be easier if I was never here
You got the money, and I got the reason,
I'll stick around with you for just another season
