Here are a few for starters... Janie Jones - The Clash (The Clash) Taxman - Revolver (The Beatles) Our Prayer/Heroes and Villains - SMiLE (The Beach Boys) Government Flu - Plastic Surgery Disasters (The Dead Kennedys) Suspect Device - Inflammable Material (Stiff Little Fingers) New York, New York - Gold (Ryan Adams) Armenia City in The Sky - The Who Sell Out (The Who) Thunder Road - Born To Run (Bruce Springsteen) Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin II (Led Zeppelin) Highway To Hell - Highway To Hell - (AC/DC) Back In Black - Back in Black -(AC/DC) Tangled Up In Blue - Blood on The Tracks (Bob Dylan) My My, Hey Hey (out of the blue) - Rust Never Sleeps (Neil Young and Crazy Horse) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nevermind (Nirvana) Foxy Lady - Are You Experienced? (Jimi Hendrix Experience) and oh so many more I could mention

Those lyrics read like something that has been translated from something like Japanese into English. Truly, those were pitiful shite. The worst kind of navel-gazing 6th form pap.

Yeah, but Bad News were *meant* to be a joke. Most metal lyrics are appalling but kind of exist in a parallel universe where you kind've have to admire the cretinousness (is that a word?) or stuff like "Love Gun" by Kiss :-)

So far, it would seem that our preferences are for lyrics which try to be significant but just sound pretentious and wank rather than the more obviously lame efforts that pollute our ears every day.

Now that's fuckin' funny ROTFLMAO!

to paraphrase my earlier post - the title of this thread gives a clear indication of its content. If you don't like it go post something witty someplace else

Take it easy folks! I should say, for the record, that this is not an entirely serious thread. We are dealing with big, sweeping generalisations here. By all means vent but lets keep the social Darwinsism to an absolute minimum. By the same token, enough with the "hands off the chavs stylee posts - the thread title should clue you as to what to expect. I would also like to add that I have met more than a few arseholes among the people at gigs I've attended - more than once I've had to square up to some twat with an excess of testosterone chucking their weight around during a show (maybe I should put this bit into the moshing thread )

Earlier today Calum wrote... Also, we definitely do NOT need more neds. I'm certainly not feeling particularly well disposed towards them right now after a couple of girls I know randomly had a couple of them kindly attempt to beat the fuck out of them the other night, and then proceed to follow us back into Kef and get my mate chucked out because he pushed one of them who was trying to "brak his face." Not that I'm bitter or anything! Also, a ned punched me in the face on a bus a while back for looking at him the wrong way. Anyone else got any ned related complaints? Anyone have something to add to that?

I actually used to like that (along with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - the album from whence it came) but the "Diana" re-write with its "goodbye English rose" line just made me want to retch violently!

Of course you realise that the opposite also holds true - children with "alternative" parents might rebel by "going chav" This is true, sadly, very true.

After hearing the Stereophonics latest cry for help, sorry, I mean "song" on the radio today replete with Kelly Jones' "Cat, sat, mat" lyrics I felt prompted to ask what's everyone here's favourite bad lyric? Another one that sprang immeadiately to mind was Travis' "like the moon a big balloon" from Turn

Aye, have been on the blower to Orange to have that done. I'm just picturing chavvy going through my phone book and having fun making crank calls etc with the numbers.

Aye, well you can blame me for some of that as I'm a teacher. My judgement is also coloured by the fact that some fecking chav stole me mobile today! I even spoke to him - the call went: Me: "Hi, I'm the owner of the phone your holding could you please return it?" Chav: "Eh, naw ah dinnae hink so" followed by dialtone
