Worst Lyrics?

[SmedIndy]

Some people are lyric people; some people are music people. I like a compliment.

However, I was thinking about the worst lyrics I've heard, and the below is right up there.

I know some bands intentionall write puerile lyrics, for effect, or whatever, but below seemed earnest and thought out (it was 1970, in fact). I can't connect the dots here. The tune really rocks, but man.....what was he trying to say.

SIN'S A GOOD MAN'S BROTHER by Mark Farner

Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by.
Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right.
Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die.
This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy.
If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more.


One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right?
You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might.
You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight.
Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll lose the nation.
You say we need a revolution? It seems to be the only solution.

Come Sail Away.......
When I was a kid I wrote that song in a poetry class I was in. I thought it was so lame I tossed it.
A year later I'm listening to the radio and I hear those lyrics.....
I almost S@#t!!!
It wasn't exactly the same obviously but it was so close as to be eerie.
What a horrible piece of juvenile poetry.
There's worse I'm sure , but that one always comes to mind when the subject of bad lyrics is brought up.
Oh...." Her Name Was...." by George Jones......Oh my god.... :rolleyes:

[sweaver]

Most of Elton John's songs, lyrics by Bernie Taupin.

ooooooooookay!

[Skip]

I'm sure there are worse but 'Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore' by REO Speedwagon is more full of cliche's than an MLB clubhouse.

A snippet:

....And even as I wander
I’m keeping you sight
You’re a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter’s night
And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
It’s time to bring this ship into shore
And throw away the oars, forever

... And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through the door
Baby, I can’t fight this feeling any more....

[spitball]

Skip,
I hope those were'nt off the top of your head. If they were...
you poor poor man.
Why is it the worst ones get stuck in our heads??

[SmedIndy]

"Wheel In The Sky" by Journey is another head-scratcher.

[KCBOOMER]

How about Michael Jackson's "Bad". Really bad.

[LeGrandOrange]

Who's bad? Certainly the title is appropo. :)

I don't normally respond to song threads, but I feel like it here, because my first thought was "Rockin' in the Free World" from Neil Young. Maybe it's Dana Carvey's impression of "every Neil Young song you've heard" that gives me this idea, but the lyrics have all the connections of parallel lines IMO.

You mess with Neil Young, you mess with me, LGO, especially THAT song. His performance on SNL of that really got me into Mr. Young, and now I drive my wife insane with his records. His biography is pretty illuminating about the sense, or lack thereof, of his lyrics.

(Though I can't defend everything he's done. I mean 'A Man Needs A Maid...')

And I don't think those lyrics are so bad. You weren't cognizant of the Reagan / Bush era pre Gulf War. It wasn't a love fest.

[spitball]

I always Took " A Man Needs A Maid" as men needing to be taken care of because...well....we do.

This is why I was a little bit leary of posting in the thread, I was afraid to upset the Neil Young faction.
I particularly like the song but I always had issue with the lyrics. Then again, I'm not right. :)

I'm not equating rap lyrics to the drivel I posted to begin the thread. Rap's its own beast.

Does anyone rap in free verse, or iambic pentameter? I'd like to hear that! :p

Anyway, on with the show....

Why is it the worst ones get stuck in our heads?? :loud: No, though I had the basic parts in my head, I did have to go look up the specifics. Actually, I was a fan of REO prior to their jumping the shark with 'hi infidelity' and beyond, although they were never strong lyrically. My wife and I have a running joke about this particular song though, and we both crack up hysterically whenever (increasingly rarely, thank goodness) we hear it on the radio.

[Gosfgiants]

Listen to Top 40 radio and you'll here plenty of awful lyrics. Brittney, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, etc. Talk about garbage. If I listen to it for than 5 minutes my brain starts to feel like it's going to explode.

LGO, you are so far off base on Neil Young. Alot of his lyrics have a message. Rocking in the Free World is about the have and have nots especially during the Reagan/Bush Sr. era. Alot of it stills holds true today.

[spitball]

The funny thing about ole Neal....he's a republican...go figure.

How about the lyrics to Jimmy Webb's " MacArthur Park"

For me, the worst part is how he sits on the "r"s. Foreverrrrrrrrrr.

Liked the song when I was in high school, though.

[Ytown Tribe fan]

When I was in college, the DJ at the 10-watt station decided to play "Wango Tango" for 12 straight hours.

[pwdennis]

Until I heard the witty spoof done by Australian singer Rolf Harris (arranged similarly to "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport"), I would have nominated Led Zeppelin's pretentious "Stairway To Heaven" as the worst set of lyrics I'd heard.

Now I think it's a tie between "I'm Too Sexy" and this 60s classic:

I'm 'enery the eighth I am, 'enery the eighth I am I am
I got married to the widder next door - she's been married seven times before
And every one was an 'enery , she wouldn't have a Willie or a Saul
I'm 'er eighth old man I am I am , 'enery the eighth I am

[SmedIndy]

I thought it was a "Willie and a Sam".

And that's really not what I was trying to get at. That was a novelty piece of doggerrel. So was "I'm Too Sexy".

Not noveltys. Actual attempts at writing lyrics of meaning that went hopelessly awry.....

[Skip]

I'm with Smed here. Stupid by intent/silly by intent shouldnt count. Bad by sheer incomprehensibility (like Smed's original submission), or bad by sheer ineptitudity (new word?) (like the REO example) are what I think of here.

In other words - Bad/Bad not Bad/Silly. Thats why I havent nominated 'I want you to want me', 'Da Do Ron Ron', and 'Duh Do Do Do, Duh Da Da Da' or whatever the title of that Police inanity was, (let alone Mother). Lord, for pure noise, just pick Hocus Pocus, by Focus.

Yes, now we can await the inevitable backlash in favor of the wonders of the last item in my list. In other words, I doubt I am any longer with Smed. :D

[SmedIndy]

Skip - you have to admit that was a hella guitar riff by Jan Akkerman and a great jam.

And Focus did have a great title to a song "Answers? Questions! Questions? Answers!"

Plus - be nice to Andy Summers. He had to be in a band with Eric Burdon when he was a "Sky Pilot" and all that rubbish....

[Skip]

1. No I don't.

2. So what.

3. Muuutttttthhhhhhaaaaaaa!

[SmedIndy]

Anyway....avoiding Mr. Crankyskip....

"Eye Of The Tiger" also has to have a cliche award. Not just for the title that became a cliche, but the rest of the song. Ick!

[pwdennis]

You could be right - I saw Peter Noone perform at the Grey Track in Sanford, FL a few years ago and it sure sounded like "Saul" but "Sam" does make the rhyme - could be his accent

If novelties are discounted then I'll reinstate "Stairway To Heaven" with "MacArthur Park" and "Blinded By The Light" as close competitors

[SmedIndy]

Ah, "Blinded By The Light". Springsteen does Dylan, and did it well enough that Manfred Mann covered it.

The "new Dylan" breed of protest singer songwriter could have its own category. A lot of guys were trying to be the next Dylan or Phil Ochs and just wrote a bunch of meaningless tripe that sounded "important".

And to go way off base here, is there a worse kids song than

Ring around the Rosie
Pockets full of posies
Ashes ashes,
We all fall down.

Either totally stupid, or in other accounts totally and absolutely morbid. Don't worry kids, be happy.

Edited to say - I'm not cranky, just concise and to the point. :)

Ah yes, the jubilant ditty of the plague.

Ring around the rosie: a nice red rash circling a matching welt.
Pocket full of posies: to combat the horrendous stench of the public's nasty sickness.
Ashes, ashes: burn the bodies to rid Europe of the plague. (Burn her, bury her, or dump her. -Dump her? In the Thames.)
We all fall down: hey look ma, I'm dead!

But for my money, I can't stand the stupid lyric of Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis eyes":
All the boys think she's a spaz, she's got Bette Davis eyes.

WHAT?!?!?!?

[johnny]

spy, not spaz :)

I love this song, and I know it's bluesy, but...

Even band members can mis-hear lyrics. Greg Hawkes admitted that he mis-heard a line in a Cars song, and added a synth effect that wasn't appropriate. Ocasek liked it and changed the lyrics to what Greg thought he heard.

Whenever I want to tick a buddy off, I bust out Eye Of the Tiger.
Invarioubly I get a call that night , " You bastard, I can't get it out of my head!!".
The intro always reminds me of the Solid Gold dancers.
It's made for interpretive dance.I recommend everyone try it.:)

NDFers who are enjoying this thread and enjoy Dave Barry, need to check out his book of bad songs (if memory serves, it's called Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs).

Those who read it will be treated to (among other things):
- Teen death songs from the '50s (While I was growing up in the post-American Graffiti '70s, me sainted Dad used to listen to the "oldies" stations -- great for learning about Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, etc.; also learned that bad pop/rock songs weren't invented in the '70s.).
- McArthur Park -- something about a melting park, and a cake. Very bad.

Just about any song by Ted Nugent fits this category. The man can play guitar, but as a songwriter, well, he sucks. Here is an excerpt from his opus, "Wango Tango":


All right! It's zee Wango, zee Tango
1-2-3-4
Come on boys
Time to Wango

My baby she like to rock
My baby she like to roll
My baby she can dance all night
My baby got no control
She do the Wango Tango

My baby she can scream and shout
My baby she can move it out
My baby she can take a chance
My baby got a brand new dance

Wango Tango
Wango Tango
It's a Wango Tango
Ooooh yeah! (oooooh..)
Baby!

My baby like to rock
My baby like to roll

Now, I contend that's more novelty...perhaps. Sure wasn't trying to make a statement, was he?

Little early in the day to be wasted, don't you think YTown.

You owe me $200 for my lost productivity during the minutes it took me to scroll through that post. :p

[Ytown Tribe fan]

Haven't been wasted in two decades...perhaps I'm long overdue?

Really, though -- you haven't seen a waste of bandwidth until you've visited the Bloodrock Home Page.

As far as pretentious, awful, serious lyrics go, you have to start a separate category for Metal bands, and that starts with Bloodrock. Years before Spinal tap redefined (intentional) pretentious metal lyrics, Bloodrock were at the forefront of truly awful, politicized metal lyrics.

Another group that deserves an entire category is White Rappers. Now, I'm the Beastie Boys' biggest fan, but when they try to get serious, it's nearly unlistenable. I'm not letting other rappers off the hook, mind you, just giving guys like ICP and Vanilla Ice what they deserve.

Now, metal ballads: the definition of seriously awful pretension.

[Skip]

My subtlety being lost, ... part of my point was that that was way too long a post, IMO.

I agree with you about metal ballads though - even though ballads in general have the same tendency. My original WTF!! memory in the ballad vein is Kiss singing Beth.

I don't like Ted Nugent's music and his political views are a little wacky, but you have to respect the man for his frankness and honesty. I remember reading an article years ago where he said the only reason he kept touring was because of all of the ***** he was getting.

Any interview with Ted these days is filled with expletives and discussions of the beauty of killing your own food.

[Skip]

So Nugent is the next Jesse Ventura? I can't wait for the first press conference where he comes out shirtless, and puts an arrow in the first female reporter who doesnt reciprocate.

I suppose we should get back to song lyrics. One problem I have is differentiating schmaltz from just plain bad. I like a good schmaltzy movie from time to time, but right now I can only think of one example of a schmaltzy song I like and my complaint is generally about the lyrics. BTW - The good one that comes to mind is "What a Wonderful World" sung by Satchmo.

[SmedIndy]

"Rainbow In The Dark" was by Dio, not Sabbath.

That has a KILLER riff, too bad the little twerpo had to sing, too...

How about :


everybody was Kung fu Fighting -- anyone remember that diddy? :D

or Everybody wang chung tonight.. :D

Classic garbage...

[b-ball-lunachik]

oh wait -- how did I forget this one -- when I was dating this guy back in 1989 he was a big Howard Stern fan...I never listened and thought he was just T & A or whatever...he said, just tune in and listen...so I did..

at the time, Howard was in a fight with Bon Jovi. So he was taking his new single and dissecting it and making fun of it -- it was a hysterical bit ...he'd stop it after each line and say "I heard your suitcase say goodbye-- Robin --does your suitcase speak?" :D here's the song:

I'll Be There For You...

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide

You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you




for those really brave, here's the rest of the song lyrics:

I can't help but wonder what the crap Journey started smoking about halfway through "Faithfully." I quote two of the middle verses. The first one should remind you of the tune. The second just boggles my mind. I think it is a love song, but I keep stumbling over that second verse.


"They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours-faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you"

I'm sure the circus was an analogy that only the brilliant mind of Steve Perry could understand. It's a bad song, but it does possess some nostalgic value. And I actually heard a couple talking about it as their wedding song.

Perry wasn't always the writer of the inane Journey lyrics. He didn't write "Wheel In The Sky"....which I still think befuddles most men to this day.

[Skip]

Nahhh .... Journey created a number (ok a big number) of bad songs, but they aren't in the dreck-league of a number of the other bands mentioned here. And no, I'm not a fan.

Though in the interest of full disclosure, I did go to a Journey concert in high school. Even more painfully, I admit that at that same time I was a real fan of Foreigner. This was also about the same time I liked REO. Hmmm ... a trend?

Diamond Dave was no poet, but at least he sounded like he was having a good time all the time....


If anyone can translate the words to the second verse of "Everybody Wants Some", please post them.

Steve Allen used to do this bit on TV where he would do serious renditions of the words to popular songs. I can still remember him doing a reading of the lyrics to "Hot Stuff."

Going to get some hot stuff, baby this evening.
Going to get some hot stuff, baby tonight.

Oh, my.

I wouldn't say this is the worst, but I always get a chuckle out of the over the top melodrama with the sound effects in the background:


He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!
