After the "sun and moon" in "Save the best for last".

I've always found it slightly annoying in the Destinys Child song...

I thubnk Independent Women, Part1

Starting with

"Question, tell me what you think about me"
That's not a bloddy question, is it?

(guess noone cares...)

Probably got to be Life by Des'ree ...

I don't wanna see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news
Awful.

Anyone remember a song called "Summer Girls" from the 90's, by some terrible boy band - contained the unforgettable lines

Pretty much any Oasis lyrics you can think of.

The ultimate must be in "That Was Then But This Is Now" by ABC:

"Can't complain, mustn't grumble / help yourself to another piece of apple crumble."

Mario -Let Me Love You

The offending Lyric:

"You're a dime plus 99"

WTF?!

I absolutely detest the line:

"And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime".

Yes. and?

(from 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'.)

Maybe I don't understand its meaning properly, but whatever anyones says it doesn't make sense. Poor Australia having Christmas in the middle of summer!

Yeah, you're right. And come to think of it, when was the last time we (and many other cuontries) had snow at Christmas? And why does it matter? Hmm.

Pretty much anything All Saints claim to have written, but this in particular from 'Never Ever' which always made me cringe:

'Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find'

Well if you can't find them, how can you ask them??

It is a question.

"Question. Tell me what you think about me?". It might just be rhetoric, but it's a question nonetheless.

The song stinks, though, as do DC and almost all R&B groups

What I really hate is the likes of the boring Razorlight:

The songs on the radio sound the same
Everybody just looks the same

- In The Morning
Erm... stick your CD into your hifi and look in the mirror!

That line in "Do They Know It's Christmas?" annoys me, too. Of course they won't be Snow in Africa this Christmas. First of all, their climate isn't cold enough, and secondly, the Southern Hemisphere is in Summer during Christmas.

I once heard an interview with Midge Ure when he said that the original lyric was "there won't be snow in Ethiopia this Christmas time", but they couldn't make it scan! He admitted it's a lousy lyric...

OK, I'm not trying to be difficult (...), but I still cant see how this is a question...

I would call this a command.

"What do you think about me" is a question of course, but...

The one that makes me laugh is from the "rap" on Blue's All Rise

Step in my house
You find that
Your stuff has gone
(Gone)
But in reality to whom
Does the stuff belong?

Far to many, but....

Nelly/Kelly Rowland "Dilemma":

"No matter what I do, all I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo, boy y'know you know I'm crazy over you"

The use of "Boo" just drives me nuts. Besides the obvious misinterpretation of the word, they have twisted the word "beau" (the French for 'beautiful', and a term of endearment), just to get a rhyme.

Horrible, clichéd, predictable twaddle.
