Songs where the Lyrics just wind you up
I don't mean when the lyrics are just a phrase said over and over, but when a particular lyric just makes you go 'arggggggggghhhhh'
This one used to get me all the time The Reynolds Girls - I'd Rather Jack The bit where they say 'Golden oldies, Rolling Stones, we don't want them back I'd rather jack than Fleetwood Mac No heavy metal, rock'n'roll, music from the past I'd rather jack than Fleetwood Mac' I like oldies, Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac and Heavy Metal and it used to get me so annoyed as their song was tripe |

All Right Now by Free never fails as the lyrics are so, so bad. Maybe I'm irrational as most song lyrics aren't exactly Dylan Thomas-esque. But this one gets to me more than any other for some reason.
Aside from that, I must be getting old as bad grammar in lyrics annoys me more than it should! It's not as if I'm an expert on the subject either I Can't Get No Satisfaction is a lovely example, though...

I've always disliked Avril Lavaigne's lyrics , but the ones from "Sk8er Boi" really
annoyed me: "He was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?" "He was a punk, She did ballet,What more can I say," So freaking boring! |

Apparently, the 10 most baffling lyrics are:
•“Are we human, or are we dancer”, The Killers, Human. •“I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob”, The Beatles, I Am The Walrus. •“What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?”, Michael Jackson, Earth Song. •“Tom bol li de se de moi ya, hey jambo jumbo”, Lionel Richie, All Night Long. •“Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad”, Carly Rae Jepson, Call Me Maybe. •“Beats so big I’m stepping on leprechauns”, Black Eyed Peas, Boom Boom Pow. •“The reflex is an only child, he’s waiting in the park”, Duran Duran, The Reflex. •“Club Tropicana, drinks are free, fun and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone, all that’s missing is the sea”, Wham!, Club Tropicana. •“Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet”, Taylor Swift, Love Story. •“Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball”, Oasis, Champagne Supernova. http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/go...#ixzz39MyNdIyr I don't know what's baffling about the Wham! lyric, that one makes sense to me. If they wanted a bad Wham! lyric they should have gone for Wham Rap. |

I had to laugh at that, because people still buy and admire all the
music slagged off in their crappy song, but nobody remembers the Reynolds Girls except as a punchline. ![]()

"He says the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers." |

I saw this yesterday and agree that the Wham! lyric isn't that weird. The Carly Rae Jepsen really isn't that bad either unless you take it completely literally. I've always assumed that the Oasis line is about being drunk and/or high. As for 'I Am the Walrus', surely that's intentionally nonsensical? Not quite the same as some of the others.
The Michael Jackson line is hilarious though - I'm amazed that I've never picked up on it before, I used to be a huge MJ fan! |

Shakira - Wherever, whenever
"Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains" Yeah, rumours have it there are several base camps containing confused mountaineers staring at their compass of many large breasted females, not Shakira though! |

That really pervy way Snoop ends 'Wiggle' by Jason Derulo, something about having a bright future behind you. Eewww!

Busted - Year 3000
''I've been to the Year 3000, Not much has changed but they lived under water,'' That's a pretty big change. In fact, almost everything has to change in order for this to be the case. |

"Baby drop them keys" - Irreplaceable by Beyonce
Should be "...drop those keys". It's not even as if "those" wouldn't work. |

But she's singing it to a man and saying to him "drop them keys, hurry up before your taxi leaves". I don't see anythign wrong with this one.
Also 'Beneath Your Beautiful' would make sense if they called it 'Beneath You're Beautiful'. As it stands, it's ridiculous. |

Grammar. Drop them keys is bad. No wonder kids today don't speak properly.

A comma in yours would make it better - "Beneath, You're Beautiful".

That immensely annoying lyric that was about somebody "needing some dollar". What made it even worse was when you started to here the more vacuous girls using it in conversation.
