Bad lyrics
Live (the band)
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries Her placenta falls to the floor.
Hope the baby’s ok
Bad lyrics? Not sure if they count but I reckon any song that has the title in the first line is shit. It's like there's no build up and the suspense is gone straight away.
So put 'Panic' by The Smiths and 'I Want To Break free' by Queen in there, and maybe 'We Built This City On Rock and Roll' by Starship, which I'm sure you'd all agree would be a thumper if it wasn't for the first line lyrical flaw.
Uugghh Starship! That’s a bad song full stop. Hard to believe they evolved out of Jefferson Airplane
This meets your category Stu and mine.
John Mayer
Your body is a wonderland
Keep it up Seeds, mighty fine work. With you 100% on “ We built this …” as well.
Chilli Peppers have some real stinkers
“I don’t wanna see a ghost,
It’s the sight I fear most
I’d rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news”
Life,
Oh Life
Ohhhhhh Life etc
I have to counter that stinker with a personal favourite. QOTSA - I sat by the ocean:
“Time wounds all heals as we fade out of view”
Unfortunately that delicious spoonerism is ruined by starting line being the name of the song Stu…
hmmm,,
De Do Do Do
De Da Da Da
Is all I want to say to you.
"There's a dead skunk in the middle of the road,
Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
A dead skunk in the middle of the road,
Stinking to high heaven"
Hush yo mouth Adam, that is a classic. Fish heads just another matter: " I took a fish head out to see a movie, it didn't have to pay to get it in..."
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right, it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge
Haha VJ I like that song
Nickel back
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say "Please"
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you got buns, hun
Geez VJ we’re on different planets haha
Classic lyrics. So bad they’re good. Possibly?
Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Bird On The Wire, Leonard Cohen
Just a perfect day
Drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home
Perfect Day, Lou Reed
William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath’rin’
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
Take the rag away from your face
Now ain’t the time for your tears
The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, Bob Dylan
#1stLines
So it's Halloween
And you feel like dancin'
And you feel like shinin'
And you feel like letting loose
Whatcha gonna be?
Babe, you better know
And you better plan
Better plan all day
Better plan all week, better plan all month, better plan all year
Halloween, Jello Biafra & Dead Kennedys
I heard a comedian rip the lyrics of Steve Miller Bands 'Abracadabra' yesterday.
"Sounds like something Forest Gump would write .
'I wanna reach out and grab you Jenny,,, I know what love is...'"
seems fitting given the current indo/adam/raw/andy/tbb convo:
Heard a Anderson Paac song on local radio today.
One lyric had me laughing.
‘Got your hair in the wind and your skin glistenin'
I can smell your sweet perfume
Mmm, you smell better than a barbecue’
