Anyone know any shockingly bad lyrics from artists that really should know better?

Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer
"I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer"

What producer heard that and thought "yeah that's fine"?

[PopTodd]

"Billy Joe is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows exactly what the facts is."
-Steve Miller

[Morefrog Jones]

   
abracadabra wanna reach out and grab ya
gonna write a classic gonna write it in attic

Are two which really wind me up every-time i hear them.

[JonDavies]

Okay okay okay this one bugged me for the whole of 2016

“I want you all to myself
You’re metaphorical gin and juice”

Selena Gomez - Hands to Myself

Thanks for reassuring the good people that you aren't sensually caressing your drink Selena.

PopTodd my lord that's a honker
And Morefrog Jones the attic is the only place I write my classics. Not only that the kitchen is where I do my bitchin

Pretty much anything by Duran Duran.  If I'd asked for feedback from the members of this forum on the following, I wonder what I'd have had back?

You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer
But I’ll wait till you decide

'only time will tell if we stand the test of time'

 'why can't this be love' by van halen

 

[Yodasdad]

Yooooo!

I'll tell you what I want what I really really want
So tell me what you want what you really really want
I wanna, I wanna, i wanna, I wanna
I wanna really really really wanna zigazag ahh


...saying that, I didn't have to look them up!

....andactually no, they shouldn't know any better.

Argh! It makes me rage just thinking about it. My absolute pet hate is Rod sodding Stewart's Maggie May:

You laughed at all of my jokes
My love you didn't need to coax

Makes me wish I was dead already.

[Mike67]

Oh yeah, and 'I was only Joe King, my dear'.  Who the f is Joe King?

M

[mikek]

made me think of this funny clip of Jeff Tweedy performing Black Eyed Peas

[Bill Saunders]

Me? I'm just a lawnmower, you can me by the way I walk.

Good one Genesis.

How spook is that!?!?!??!

I have just got back from a band rehearsal where we played through this tonight as it has been requested at our next gig!

[tone]

His spook is that!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! hahaha

Do you have to sing the offending line? Will you be able to do it without retching? Such a risky manoeuvre

[shadowfax]

Interesting to note that all these artists with terrible lyrics are or have been a damn site more successful than any of us will ever be,
clearly when it comes to success, lyrics do not matter that much..

that's quite annoying innit!!

Da Da Da lyrics come to mind..can they actually be called lyrics?

My prize goes to "I'm just a shy guy looking for a two-ply" (Drive By by Train). Don't think about it too much as it will mess with your mind. Also contains the following poetically crafted line: "The way you move me, everything is groovy". Great rhymes, guys!
