Happy New Year all

On the "Most Overrated Band..." post, someone mentioned the excesses of Yes, ELP etc.

It got me thinking that a Crap Lyrics thread might be cool. These might fall into the following example categories....

Bad Grammar - the writer can be arsed finding the right words

Pretentious - has some inner meaning for members of the band only or they're simply trying to look "clever" (e.g Yes, ELP)

• Yes - "In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky and they stand there"
• Yes - "Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are"

What The F***? - not to be confused with Pretentious - just plain daft lyrics.

• The Tamperer (featuring Maya) - "What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her?"

Cheesy - Any toe-curlers - usually 70's or 80's love songs (e.g. Spandau, Lionel Richie etc)

Spot The Cliche' - Predictable retreads (e.g. Whitesnake, any Hair/Poodle Rock Bands)

I've stuck a couple of examples in there, please feel free to submit you're own faves.

Love & Peace

The worst lyric of all time has to be the one about apologising for bleeding on someone's shirt after being stabbed by them. Just thinking about it boils my piss, it's incredibly false.

Buy a thesaurus, you lazy sod.

Nabakov wrote "Lolita".

I reckon 'I am the walrus' by the Beatles fits nicely into the "What the F***?" category......

Vey imaginative but profoundly silly. I give you.......


'Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob'

and.....

'Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo gooooooooooo jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba'

The "I am the Walrus" lyrics are great!

The worst lyrics ever maybe those of S.O.A.D's "lonely day".

[Mick Maverik]

Def Leppard - Let's Get Rocked - "Let's get the Rock outa here!" = worst lyric ever written! Hahaha, but ya gotta love it anyway!
