Why is there not more outrage over My Humps by Black Eyed Peas. I seriously thought the song was a joke when I heard it. But, I also felt that way when I heard the lyrics "hit me baby one more time."
Terricota is what you use to make collumns infront of your house, not a food ya stupid stoners XD. t
Then the rest of the song, goes on about whores... i dont get it

Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Nobody's business but the Turks? Surely you could go to a library or even do a google search and find out something about Turkish history.

Do you remember when MC Hammer dropped the MC and became a "Gangster Rapper".
Chorus (4x):
Pumps and a bump, Pumps and a bump, we like the girls with the Pumps and a bump!
Verse 1:
Just when I thought could I hit another one
So up jumps see me with the pumps and a bump
All stiggitty stiggity girls, getting on my good nerves
Looking like ice cream ready to be served
Wreck it, check it, can I get in it
If you wanna kick it with a G baby here's me
Cause I come equipped, I'm a pimp, a slippity slip, I suppose you take a trip
Chorus(4x)
Pumps and a bump, now many say a big butt
But if you're hip you know that it's a phone crud
It's making the brothers go crazy in the 2-G
Shake like a bottle girl fine as wine G
So when I here I got a step (to a fine thing)
Never been a coward (cause it's a eastside thing)
Just step right up to the girl with the big butt
Tell her what's up you got the pumps and a bump
Bridge:
Men: Ooooh! Everyone for the rest of your life there's a girl fucking tight!
Ladies! All everyone there's a man who is tight who can hit it all night!
We gotta get the pumps!
Chorus(4x)
I don't like 'em stiggity fat! (No!)
I like 'em stiggity stacked (Yeah!)
You wiggity wiggity wack if you ain't got biggity back (Awwww!)
So when you hear the rump shaking on the dance floor
Keep you bottling get your eyes and get hypnotized
But a nigga like me will dance up to some chopping and chewing
Keep em bottling you know I keep 'em bobbing
I put my fingerprints all over that rump
I'm guilty as hell but I love the pumps and the bump! (Ow!)
Chorus (4x)
Bridge

I always used to parody it as
Just sip out the sack, Jack
Go cop me a gram, Stan
Or what about Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life?" It's a truly awful song, and everything about the recording--from the arrangements to her voice--makes it possibly the very worst of all time.

As far as I can tell, only about half of these cirticisms are written solely about the lyrics, which I think is the point of this site. whoever wrote #3 about Meatloaf's "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" did a great job, as the catchiness of the tune was acknowledged, though the words, I agree, are horrendus. It is all too obvious that whoever wrote about John Mayer, Guns and Roses and Coldplay dislike the work of these musicians in its entirety. Your criticisms seem to be attempts to justify your distaste by drawing attention to details about the lyrics that would not otherwise be considered bad. I wonder what one might say upon picking apart lyrics that you three have written...wait, have you even written any? Whoever wrote about Guns and Roses could have made a case about taking offense to some of the content, but since youdid not, you have no case. I would also like to ask why, out of all the bad rap lyrics, "Candyshop" was singled out. I usually don't take the time to comment on web material such as this, but I feel that some talented artists are being discredited unfairly. The lyrics to the songs on the list that remain unmentioned are legitimately bad...props to whoever posted them.

"I Can Help" by Billy Swan
"If you've got a problem, I don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I've got two strong arms, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good,
Let me help
It's a fact that people get lonely, ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby, should never have the blues
Let me help, I've got two for me, let me help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help
When I go to sleep at night, you're always a part of my dream
Holding me tight and telling me everything I want to hear
Don't forget me baby, all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you, if I can do anything at all
Let me help
If your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good,
Let me help"

Nearly any disco song could make the list. Perhaps the most egregious are "Fly Robin Fly," "That's Right, Get Up and Boogie" and "Disco Duck." The first two merely repeat the same inane line throughout the recording, while "Duck" was annoying even when my head was besotted with loud music and intoxicants back in the day. Actually, now that I'm sober, lots of songs seem inane to me now.

has anyone said anything about "Life is wonderful" by jason mraz? it has some great lines, and then some rediculous ones:
the song opens with
"it takes a crane to build a crane"
the chorus itself is pretty stupid:
"a, la la la la la life is wonderful,
a, la la la la la life goes full circle"
why dont you just see the rest of the lyrics and decide for youself:
"It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la
It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished
Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la
It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life it is...so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful"
But if it's trite banality you want, little can top this "masterpiece" from the hideously over-rated White Stripes:-

When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell

Oh, well
Well with me and chipin' me and kisses?
Not the man in my life I know
And I been going to mystery misses
I respect the art of the show
Take back whan you said little girl
And while you're at it take yourself back too
Woman I'm tired sittin here waitin

When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I been thinkin' about my doorbell
Oh, yeah
You don't seem to come around
Push your finger and make a sound
You don't seem to come around
Knock knock till you knock it down
Oh, well
Make a sound and I'll make you feel right
Right at home, yeah
Yeah, right at home, yeah
Nobody got ......?
But how come it's so easy to you
You know it's like me at times I can be careless
But your words seem so obtuse
But then again I know you feel guilty
And you tell me you want me again
But I don't need any of your pity
I got plenty of my own friends
They're all above me
And I've been thinkin' about the doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it
Yeah, I've been thinkin' about the doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it oh
I've been thinkin' about the doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it
Yeah, I been thinkin' about the doorbell
Oh, well
They don't seem to come around
Push the finger and make a sound
They don't seem to come around
??... they'll knock it down
Oh, well
Make a sound and I'll make you feel right
Right at home
Right at home
I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it

What about this classic (unintentionally?) hilarious verse from a really crap song. The gist of the song is "I've got another man, but don't feel bad about it, it's not your fault (oh really? thanks!) It's just that he's got a bigger dick than you.
There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me and he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill

So call me (dr. love)

Ooh, they call me (dr. love)
I am the doctor of love (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling dr. love)
Ooh, they call me (dr. love)

Love, love, love, (dr. love)
Love, love, love, love, (calling dr. love) love dr. love

I am a huge fan of music as a whole, especially hard rock. In my opinion, lyrics don't mean everything,; afterall, hard rock tunes aren't the same without a powerful guitar riff at the top. However, I do believe that songs with the worst lyrics get stuck in your head the fastest. Tremendously irritating. Artists throw trash in your face, then complain about their dropping record sales and condemn people who download music. With titles such as: "My Humps" and "Hollaback Girl", I wonder sometimes if artists are trying to test my patience, demean my intelligence or prove that they don't deserve their wealth. When any money-making musician writes poor lyrics and sings ear-pinching tunes like the ones mentioned above, they deserve a slap in the face.
On that note, here's ATC's Around The World:
The kisses of the sun - Were sweet I didn't blink
I let it in my eyes - Like an exotic drink
The radio playing songs - That I have never heard
I don't know what to say - Oh not another word
Just - la la la la la - It goes around the world
Just - la la la la la - It's all around the world
Just - la la la la la - And everybody's singing
La la la la la - And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
Inside an empty room - My inspiration flows
Now wait to hear the tune - Around my head it goes
The magic melody - You want to sing with me
Just la la la la la - the music is the key
And now the night is gone - Still it goes on and on
So deep inside of me - I long to set it free
I don't know what to do - Just can't explain to you
I don't know what to say - Oh not another word
Just - la la la la la - It goes around the world
Just - la la la la la - It's all around the world
Just - la la la la la - And everybody's singing
La la la la la - And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
The kisses of the sun
La la la la la - It goes around the world
Just - la la la la la - It's all around the world
Just - la la la la la - And everybody's singing
La la la la la - And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
Around - Around - Around the world

The song "I Need You" by Tim Macgraw and Faith Hill. The chorus is not bad, and the meaning is nice. But the opening i hate.
It is a love song and it starts out
"I want to drink that shot of whiskey
I want to smoke that cigarette
i want to smell that sweet addiction on my breath"
Those are the words i want to tell my wife.
"Hey honey! Im gonna drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. I need you so much that i need to get drunk before i come home."

Okay, I just stumbled across this site, so go ahead and insult what I'm about to say, 'cause I'll probably never see it.
First, it bothered me that I liked so many songs on this list...but that's not a complaint.
Great job pulling one of Jason Mraz's songs out and assuming that you wouldn't want to listen to him, "Wordplay", "Geek in the Pink" and some of the stuff off of "Waiting for My Rocket to Come" are all very intelligent, in a geeky sort of way.
At a John Mayer concert I attended he said that he was aware that people were making fun of "Wonderland" and it bothered him at first, but now he doesn't care.
Between The Barenaked Ladies and Bowling for Soup you'll be able to figure out all you need to know about me, because I think they speak the truth about just about everything.
Red Hot Chili Peppers rock and in several of their songs what seems to the non-creative to be just a stream of nonsensical big words is actually a great story.
Yes, I know I can't spell.
If you want a set of dumb song lyrics to disect try "Honky Tonk Bedonadonk"...
What does Donkey Kong and slapping your grandma have to do with big butts anyway?

Here are some real pearls of wisdom by Natasha Bettingfield:
Feel the rain on your head, no one else can feel it for you....no one else no one else
What can I say. Profound.
And this one by Akon (eminem's protege):
Come on over to my place where we can kick it like Taebo (sp?)
Dude said kick it like taebo, wtf?!

Abracadabra.. By Steve Miller Band. That is just embarrassing. Although the song is catchy, I admit, the lyrics are lame.
237 - Liessa
One modern song which no one has yet deigned to mention is 'Fast and Furious' by the Teriyaki Boyz. Not only do the lyrics make zero sense whatsoever, the twee accents and squeaky voices emplyoed by all the singers are enough to put one off racing movies. Forever.

Love to see 50 Cent on this list, Thank you!
But havn´t you concidered Manowar or Dragonforce for this list? I mean the Roleplaying theme is pretty lame :P "Brothers of metal, we are fighting for power and steel, fighting for metal, that´s all that´s real, brothers of metal will always the there, standing together with hands in the air"...I mean, don´t you find that more lame than "Fix you"? I do.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Nobody's business but the Turks? Surely you could go to a library or even do a google search and find out something about Turkish history.
Nothing like willful ignorance of basic history set to a catchy tune.

Do you remember when MC Hammer dropped the MC and became a "Gangster Rapper".
Chorus (4x):
Pumps and a bump, Pumps and a bump, we like the girls with the Pumps and a bump!
Verse 1:
Just when I thought could I hit another one
So up jumps see me with the pumps and a bump
All stiggitty stiggity girls, getting on my good nerves
Looking like ice cream ready to be served
Wreck it, check it, can I get in it
If you wanna kick it with a G baby here's me
Cause I come equipped, I'm a pimp, a slippity slip, I suppose you take a trip
Chorus(4x)
Pumps and a bump, now many say a big butt
But if you're hip you know that it's a phone crud
It's making the brothers go crazy in the 2-G
Shake like a bottle girl fine as wine G
So when I here I got a step (to a fine thing)
Never been a coward (cause it's a eastside thing)
Just step right up to the girl with the big butt
Tell her what's up you got the pumps and a bump
Bridge:
Men: Ooooh! Everyone for the rest of your life there's a girl fucking tight!
Ladies! All everyone there's a man who is tight who can hit it all night!
We gotta get the pumps!
Chorus(4x)
I don't like 'em stiggity fat! (No!)
I like 'em stiggity stacked (Yeah!)
You wiggity wiggity wack if you ain't got biggity back (Awwww!)
So when you hear the rump shaking on the dance floor
Keep you bottling get your eyes and get hypnotized
But a nigga like me will dance up to some chopping and chewing
Keep em bottling you know I keep 'em bobbing
I put my fingerprints all over that rump
I'm guilty as hell but I love the pumps and the bump! (Ow!)
Chorus (4x)

I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Lose Your Liver," uh, I mean "Fifty Ways to Leave your Lover:"
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
I always used to parody it as
Just sip out the sack, Jack
Go cop me a gram, Stan
Or what about Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life?" It's a truly awful song, and everything about the recording--from the arrangements to her voice--makes it possibly the very worst of all time.
248 - Guitarded
As far as I can tell, only about half of these cirticisms are written solely about the lyrics, which I think is the point of this site. whoever wrote #3 about Meatloaf's "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" did a great job, as the catchiness of the tune was acknowledged, though the words, I agree, are horrendus. It is all too obvious that whoever wrote about John Mayer, Guns and Roses and Coldplay dislike the work of these musicians in its entirety. Your criticisms seem to be attempts to justify your distaste by drawing attention to details about the lyrics that would not otherwise be considered bad. I wonder what one might say upon picking apart lyrics that you three have written...wait, have you even written any? Whoever wrote about Guns and Roses could have made a case about taking offense to some of the content, but since youdid not, you have no case. I would also like to ask why, out of all the bad rap lyrics, "Candyshop" was singled out. I usually don't take the time to comment on web material such as this, but I feel that some talented artists are being discredited unfairly. The lyrics to the songs on the list that remain unmentioned are legitimately bad...props to whoever posted them.

What about this morsel from The Doors:
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Was Jim Morrison trying to depict psychosis. The problem is that, as the saying goes, an actor can't play himself.

"I Can Help" by Billy Swan
"If you've got a problem, I don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I've got two strong arms, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good,
Let me help
It's a fact that people get lonely, ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby, should never have the blues
Let me help, I've got two for me, let me help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help
When I go to sleep at night, you're always a part of my dream
Holding me tight and telling me everything I want to hear
Don't forget me baby, all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you, if I can do anything at all
Let me help
If your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good,
Let me help"
253 - Jess
Bad lyrics?
errr, how about all of the vengaboys songs?
wans't there a girl in the vengaboys?
254 - Book Babe
Nearly any disco song could make the list. Perhaps the most egregious are "Fly Robin Fly," "That's Right, Get Up and Boogie" and "Disco Duck." The first two merely repeat the same inane line throughout the recording, while "Duck" was annoying even when my head was besotted with loud music and intoxicants back in the day. Actually, now that I'm sober, lots of songs seem inane to me now.
255 - Emma
has anyone said anything about "Life is wonderful" by jason mraz? it has some great lines, and then some rediculous ones:
the song opens with
"it takes a crane to build a crane"
the chorus itself is pretty stupid:
"a, la la la la la life is wonderful,
a, la la la la la life goes full circle"
why dont you just see the rest of the lyrics and decide for youself:
"It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la
It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished
Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la
It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life it is...so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful"

I haven't heard Jason Mraz and after reading that trite drivel I don't want to!

But if it's trite banality you want, little can top this "masterpiece" from the hideously over-rated White Stripes:-
My Doorbell
I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it

Oh, well
Well with me and chipin' me and kisses?
Not the man in my life I know
And I been going to mystery misses
I respect the art of the show
Take back whan you said little girl
And while you're at it take yourself back too
Woman I'm tired sittin here waitin

I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it oh

When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I been thinkin' about my doorbell
Oh, yeah
You don't seem to come around
Push your finger and make a sound
You don't seem to come around
Knock knock till you knock it down
Oh, well
Make a sound and I'll make you feel right
Right at home, yeah
Yeah, right at home, yeah
Nobody got ......?
But how come it's so easy to you
You know it's like me at times I can be careless
But your words seem so obtuse
But then again I know you feel guilty
And you tell me you want me again
But I don't need any of your pity
I got plenty of my own friends
They're all above me
And I've been thinkin' about the doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it
Yeah, I've been thinkin' about the doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it oh
I've been thinkin' about the doorbell
When they gonna ring it, when they gonna ring it
Yeah, I been thinkin' about the doorbell
Oh, well
They don't seem to come around
Push the finger and make a sound
They don't seem to come around

Oh, well
Make a sound and I'll make you feel right
Right at home
Right at home
I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it

Mockingbird Hill
by Vaugh Horton
When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la twiddely dee dee, it gives me a thrill..
Convinced yet?
260 - Santa Clause
If "Smells Like Teen Spirit" even has lyrics (which I doubt)it should be included. It's a tremendous song however just aweful uh... Lyrics (If you can call them that)
261 - Rodney Welch
You people are so naive. You strip a song down to mere words and then judge it as inferior if it's not on par with "Ode to a Nightingale." A lot of great songs have awful lyrics. You all ought to be old enough to know that.
262 - mr combs
Yes, there are a lot of lyrics with "perverted" meanings. But what do you think the words "ROCK & ROLL" refer to?
As for stupid lyrics, they sell. That fact tells me the majority of people either lack intelligence or refuse to use it when selecting music to purchase.
263 - ned samson
kings of leon is the best band that exists but because of the lead singers illinois drawl the lyrics have no apparent meaning only sound catchy and raw when you hear them
one example of this is:
And all the bros
Try for the girls
And try to fit you out those tight clothes
She gotta hide
And her has is his asshole
She be botherin me
264 - Pernice
That fine lyric about "the best Soy Latte that you ever had in me" in a song by Train does it for me.
265 - Tumshie
What about this classic (unintentionally?) hilarious verse from a really crap song. The gist of the song is "I've got another man, but don't feel bad about it, it's not your fault (oh really? thanks!) It's just that he's got a bigger dick than you.
There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me and he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill
266 - Tumshie
Sorry, forgot to say. The song is "Torn between two lovers" by Mary MacGregor. It was no 1 on both sides of the pond. A dreadful dirgy tune, whiney vocal and an unbelievably bad lyric
The song actually inspired a film of the same name, starring Lee Remick
267 - Herbert
What about the Kiss song Dr. Love.
You need my love baby, oh so bad
You're not the only one i've ever had
And if i say i wanna set you free
Don't you know you'll be in misery
They call me (dr. love)
They call me dr. love (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling dr. love)
And even though i'm full of sin
In the end you'll let me in
You'll let me through, there's nothin' you can do
You need my lovin', don't you know it's true
So if you please get on your knees
There are no bills, there are no fees
Baby, i know what your problem is
The first step of the cure is a kiss
So call me (dr. love)
They call me dr. love (calling dr. love)
I am your doctor of love (calling dr. love), ha
They call me (dr. love), they call me dr. love (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling dr. love)
Ooh, they call me (dr. love)
I am the doctor of love (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling dr. love)
Ooh, they call me (dr. love)
I am your doctor of love (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinking of (calling dr. love), yeah
Yeah, they call me (dr. love)
They call me dr. love (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling dr. love)
Love, love, love, (dr. love)
Love, love, love, love, (calling dr. love) love dr. love
(calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' (dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling dr. love)
They call me dr. love (dr. love)
They call me dr. love (calling dr. love)
I've got the cure

I am a huge fan of music as a whole, especially hard rock. In my opinion, lyrics don't mean everything,; afterall, hard rock tunes aren't the same without a powerful guitar riff at the top. However, I do believe that songs with the worst lyrics get stuck in your head the fastest. Tremendously irritating. Artists throw trash in your face, then complain about their dropping record sales and condemn people who download music. With titles such as: "My Humps" and "Hollaback Girl", I wonder sometimes if artists are trying to test my patience, demean my intelligence or prove that they don't deserve their wealth. When any money-making musician writes poor lyrics and sings ear-pinching tunes like the ones mentioned above, they deserve a slap in the face.
On that note, here's ATC's Around The World:
The kisses of the sun - Were sweet I didn't blink
I let it in my eyes - Like an exotic drink
The radio playing songs - That I have never heard
I don't know what to say - Oh not another word
Just - la la la la la - It goes around the world
Just - la la la la la - It's all around the world
Just - la la la la la - And everybody's singing
La la la la la - And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
Inside an empty room - My inspiration flows
Now wait to hear the tune - Around my head it goes
The magic melody - You want to sing with me
Just la la la la la - the music is the key
And now the night is gone - Still it goes on and on
So deep inside of me - I long to set it free
I don't know what to do - Just can't explain to you
I don't know what to say - Oh not another word
Just - la la la la la - It goes around the world
Just - la la la la la - It's all around the world
Just - la la la la la - And everybody's singing
La la la la la - And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
The kisses of the sun
La la la la la - It goes around the world
Just - la la la la la - It's all around the world
Just - la la la la la - And everybody's singing
La la la la la - And now the bells are ringing
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la la la - la la la la la - la la la la la la la
Around - Around - Around the world

The song "I Need You" by Tim Macgraw and Faith Hill. The chorus is not bad, and the meaning is nice. But the opening i hate.
It is a love song and it starts out
"I want to drink that shot of whiskey
I want to smoke that cigarette
i want to smell that sweet addiction on my breath"
Those are the words i want to tell my wife.
"Hey honey! Im gonna drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. I need you so much that i need to get drunk before i come home."
273 - timpani
Okay, I just stumbled across this site, so go ahead and insult what I'm about to say, 'cause I'll probably never see it.
First, it bothered me that I liked so many songs on this list...but that's not a complaint.
Great job pulling one of Jason Mraz's songs out and assuming that you wouldn't want to listen to him, "Wordplay", "Geek in the Pink" and some of the stuff off of "Waiting for My Rocket to Come" are all very intelligent, in a geeky sort of way.
At a John Mayer concert I attended he said that he was aware that people were making fun of "Wonderland" and it bothered him at first, but now he doesn't care.
Between The Barenaked Ladies and Bowling for Soup you'll be able to figure out all you need to know about me, because I think they speak the truth about just about everything.
Red Hot Chili Peppers rock and in several of their songs what seems to the non-creative to be just a stream of nonsensical big words is actually a great story.
Yes, I know I can't spell.
If you want a set of dumb song lyrics to disect try "Honky Tonk Bedonadonk"...
What does Donkey Kong and slapping your grandma have to do with big butts anyway?
274 - SellOutBoy
"Girlfriend"! Definitely one of THE worst lyrics I've ever heard!-right next to "Fergilicious". UGH!! What's with these conceited divas? Girlfriend goes like " 'Hey hey you you I don't like your girlfriend no way no way I think you need a new one.' " Fergilicious-don't even get me started-" 'I blow kisses i'm Fergilicious.' " When did lyrics lose their depth and meaning??
