Which lyrics do you find, not necessarily weird or cringey, but just 'my two year old neice could have done better/what was the songwriter on?/Does the songwriter have the mental capacity of a hamster' stupid and annoying?

For me it's:

Room 5 feat. Oliver Cheetham- Make luv.

The whole song is, IMO, noise pollution, but the line 'make love and listen to the music' drives me mad. Are you likely to be listening to random music in a nightclub and having sex at te same time? Would most people go off and have sex with anything that stands still long enough- becasue that's what it sounds like when he sings it. Also the phrase 'Make love' just doesn't fit into the sound of the song- I don't know why, it just seems out of place.
Not forgetting that a toddler could write something like 'make love and listen to the music, you've got to let yourself gogogogo'.
In fact, a toddler could do better.

Soulja Boy- Crank That.

What are the words to that again? Oh yes. "Soulja boy, innit, oh, watch me crank that, watch me roll, watch me crank that Soulja Boy yeah Superman wooohhh! No one say Yooouuuu, No one say Yooouuu...

Or something along those lines anyway.

What the hell is it supposed to mean?

And finally... Kate Nash- Foundations

"Your face is pasty, becasue you've gone and got so wasted what a surprise, I can't bear to look at your face, 'coz it's making me sick. You've gone and got sick on my trainers, I only got these yesterday, Oh My God I can't be bothered with this."

It just sounds really clumsy- especially when seh says 'sick' twice within about five seconds.

It's funny how in every thread I've read about bad / annoying lyrics, this song pops up....and quite right too, because the lyrics are diabolical. Whoever wrote that should spend their life hanging their head in shame

Anyone remember 'Shake Your Head' by Was Not Was...

'You can't drink lava from plastic glasses' among other bizzare statements! Catchy tune though

And on the subject of James Blunt...why is he singing about being in a club in 1973?? He wasn't old enough to be in a club in 1973 surely??

In 2004, in one of those survey things, it was voted the worst lyric of all time, just ahead of "I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer" from Rhythm Is A Dancer...

Aside from those hideous examples, there are so many I have heard over the years. This classic came on my iPod yesterday (shuffle mode), and as much as I like Boney M, I can't forgive this ineptitude:

"He's crazy like a fool/What about Daddy Cool?/I'm crazy like a fool/What about Daddy Cool?"

Too many to give them all a mention but I always thought the entire lyrics from that pants Daphne & Celeste song "ooh stick you" were just pointless.

"Ooh stick you, your momma too AND YOUR DADDY..."

But the best (or should that be worst) bit was...

Your mama, your daddy
Your greasy, greasy grandmammy
You got a hole in your panty
Got a big behind like Frankenstein
Going beep-beep-beep down Sesame Street
Toot-toot-toot wear army boots
In your ear with a can of beer
Up your butt with a coconut
OOOHHHH!

PANTS!


The other ones that just were plain silly were from Shakira's "whenever, wherever" :

"Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains"

Surely if you don't want people to confuse your breasts with mountains (as she so says) you don't want people to notice and gawp at them... but by including a silly line like this in a song, surely it's gonna have the opposite effect and people will be eyeing up her breasts just to see how "small and humble" they are...

I dunno... make your mind up love!


The other one I also thought was stupid was from the delightful Ms Britney Spears...

"I'm not a girl, not yet a woman..."

YEAH RIGHT!

Finally - as much as I liked the song when it was out...

Meat Loaf - WHAT ON EARTH?

"I would do anything for love.... but I won't do that"

WHAT?! Oxymoron?

oooops!

I forgot to mention another lyric i always thought was a bit silly though I do confess, I like the song and the lyric has certainly raised a smile or two from me over the years.


Good old Macarthur Park... whether it be the Richard Harris or the Donna Summer disco classic ...

"Someone left a cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it

and I'll never have that recipe again...."

Oh dear - GET SOME THERAPY!

These are the worst lyrics ever.

I also think the "Elvis isn't dead" song is horrible. It just seems so ridiculous, it's like some art school haiku lyric that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Agreed. Calvin Harris' "girls" is pathetic for lyrics. The only time I ever saw the humour in it was when Scott Mills played a trick on some Swedish florist and got her to take down a message for a bouquet with the first verse of "girls" as the message and then got her to read the message back out.

When I posted this thread I knew that was coming! It was just a question of when.

I personally don't think it's that bad- weird and random, yes, but you have to admit it is quite funny.

Agree totally with both points.

I think Roy Stride will find Elvis IS dead and has been for a while. And as for the second bit- it's either an obscure metaphor or very bad and random songwriting. I hope for their sake it's the former.
