Bad lyrics

[gunrock]

My wife just called me to say that our (almost) 6 year old sings "Wooooahh, we're stuck in Mumbai-yah" to this song.

Obviously, outsourcing has become such a serious concern to the common man, rock stars are clamouring to add their social commentary...

[Jebus]

Lotta Kings of Leon hate in here? It's a fantastic pop song, not all music has to be shakesperian.

[prinnysquad]

The whole of Me and You Versus The World by Space is stupidly brilliant.

[Ady]

Merge request.

Thread's a dupe.

They're popular now innit. Because of the Times had a few ropey lyrics, but back then they were underrated darlings, so that was all okay like.

Pretty much anything by Kula Shaker - I would post something but it might break the thread, seeing as how it's really just crap without any trace of humour.

So instead how about -

"When we're making love it's like surgery....
she said oooo-ooooh I love u in me"

Prince. He's my favourite artist but he has a knack for writing both the best AND the worst lyrics. Surgery isn't exactly the most romantic image he could have conjured up.

The Killers, "Human"

"Are we human, or are we dancer?"

[Widegoat]

Merge request.

Thread's a dupe.

Done.

I love Red Hot Chili Peppers' music but some of the crap Anthony Kiedis comes up with is crazy. Can't remember the song title but my favourite is this:

I've got a sister making babies with a Black and Decker blow torch

[JP]

Beck, pretty much every song. As bad as the lyrics may be, I really like them...

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin with a loser and the cruise control
Babys in Reno with the Vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin down the trailer park

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
Cuz' one's got a weasel and the others got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and its hangin from a pigeon wing
You cant write if you cant relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin on a termite
That's chokin on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
Get crazy with the cheese whiz
Soy un perdedor
Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
Drive-by body-pierce

Im a driver, I'm a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it

Know what I'm sayin?

I love Red Hot Chili Peppers' music but some of the crap Anthony Kiedis comes up with is crazy. Can't remember the song title but my favourite is this:

Wha?....crazy?
What about:

"Like a ram gettin' ready to jam the lamb"

It's expressive, sensitive and it rhymes.

[dvdmike]

The Killers, "Human"

"Are we human, or are we dancer?"

Its a Hunter S. Thompson quote

[JP]

Its a Hunter S. Thompson quote

Although the internet seems to believe it's true, it's not actually a quote from Hunter.

It was however inspired by a comment from Thompson that he made concerning free will in which he stated that the US was "...raising a generation of dancers". He believed that generation was only able to do what their peers allowed them to do instead of thinking for themselves and he pictured them as dancers all performing the same moves.

Certainly not his best but when your good quotes are as memorable as Hunter's are, you can't really complain.

What about:

"Like a ram gettin' ready to jam the lamb"

It's expressive, sensitive and it rhymes.

Isn't this just a euphenism? Lyrikepedia would probaby say:

A ram (male goat), lamb (a young goat, hopefully above the age of consent) and jam (colloquial; verb; to jam - that is to have sex, slang to crudely describe the act of thrusting the male member into an orifice).

Try and explain the black and decker blow torch line then gunrock?
