Worst Lyrics Of All Time

« on: February 15, 2014, 03:36:07 PM »
I was listening to Africa by Toto the other day and I realised I'd just heard what could be the worst lyric of all time: Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I mean SERIOUSLY that just CANNOT be a lyric!?😂😂
Anyway, after that I've been really interested in laughing at 'bad' lyrics (the spice girls are another personal favourite), so I just wondered what your favourite worst lyrics were- which lyrics make your inner songwriter cringe?

Hahaha that's a good one Jess.

The one that always gets me is Maggie Mae by Rod Stewart:

I mean FOR THE LOVE OF GOD man this is unacceptable!

Des'Ree wins. Everytime

I'm afraid of the dark
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers

I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news


Lordy Lordy. So bad I want to hug her. Or slap her..

And congrats Mr Tone!  ;D ;D

Gotta go with

Buying bread from a man in Brussles,
He was 6'4 and full of muscles,
I said 'Do you speak my language?'
He just smiled and gave me a veggie mite sandwich

Lethal song and one of my personal all time favs but these lyrics are absurd. Come to think of it the whole song is mental.... I guess my taste in music is as despicable as my lyric writing ;)

Not exactly classic lines from Mr McCartney.

I need a
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary,
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary.

Mister marks, could you send her quick,
'Cause my regular has been getting sick.

I need a
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary.

"If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show"

Well, at least you're not a lyricist.

Wait...

How about this appalling couplet from John and Paul from She'a a woman
" My love don't give me presents, I know that she's no peasant"

'When you're finally finished feeling sorry for yourself, come on I'll give you a reason to feel sorry for yourself'

Nice one, Brian Fallon of TGA. He is usually much better than this, I swear.
