The worst lyrics, post your best examples.

I was looking for a song that I listened today in the radio, I found its lyrics, what the #@*! . The baddest lyrics I've ever read in my life, oh yes! If not check it out:

Black Betty-Ram Jam

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-Lam)
I said Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
She really gets me high (Bam-ba-Lam)
You know that's no lie (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-Lam)
And she's always ready (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's from Birmingham (Bam-ba-Lam)
Way down in Alabam' (Bam-ba-Lam)
Well, she's shakin' that thing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Boy, she makes me sing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty BAM-BA-LAM

What are your choices?

 

America Horse With No Name

I can't even bring myself to type that mess.

Check out these two threads we have going now--

Creative grammar - The songs that wreck havoc on the English grammar system


Let's nitpick some lyrics

 

I can manage a little...

"ain't no-one for to give ya no pain."

I suppose we'll be seeing some Steve Miller soon.

 

You realize that that's a Ledbelly song don't you. Ram Jam just resurrected it and rocked it up. BTW, my two year old loves that version of the song!

 

No, I thought it was a Huddie Ledbetter song, I'm missing something here? A child's classic perhaps?
And yes, I like the song in the music way....not by its lyrics....

 

A triple threat from Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, which would have been spectacular as a single lp.

Bernie Taupin - "Dirty Little Girl"
"All the Girls Love Alice"
"Jamaica Jerk-Off"

Just terrible stuff.

 

Haha, I love the song Black Betty- rocking guitar and beat.

My choice-

See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me... I cringe to even type that much.

 

Huddie Ledbetter was Leadbelly's real name.

 

Ok thanks!

Artist: The Chordettes
Song: Lollipop
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

Call my baby lollipop
Tell you why
His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin' dance
Man, I haven't got a chance

I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, chimry or lime
If you had a choice
He'd be your pick
But lollipop is mine

Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop.....

Crazy way he thrills me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me till I can't see straight
GEE, MY LOLLIPOP IS GREAT

I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop...

 

"Who's drawers are these?
You know I wear a size 4..."

From Mya's "Moving On", a popular single in the 90's.

 

I love the beat to this song,....but the words leave an awful lot to be desired.


I DO
J.Geils Band

Two, one, two, three, four

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Oh do I love you with all my heart
I do, I do now, yes I do

Do I want you to stay by my side
I do, I do now, yes I do

Do I want you to be all mine
I do, I do now, yes I do
And I love you my baby, yes I do
And I want you my baby
yeah, yeah I do now

Oh do I want you to stay by my side
I do, I do now, yes I do

Do I want you to be all mine
I do, I do now, yeah, yeah, I do now

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I love you my baby, yes I do
And I need you my baby, yes I do
yeah, yeah, yeah baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
Do, do, do, do, wah

 

Huckleberry, cherry or lime

 

All right, it was copy pasted from a site in the net, go figure!

 

A Small Cigar - Ian Anderson

A small cigar can change the world,
I know, I've done it frequently at parties
where I've won all the guests' attention
with my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearing.
A little flat tin case is all you need
breast-pocket conversation opener
and one of those ciggie lighters that look rather good
you can throw away when empty.
Must be declared a great success
My small cigars all vanish within minutes.

Excuse me, mine host, that I may visit a nearby tobacconist
to replenish my supply of small cigars and make the party swing again.
I know my clothes seem shabby
and don't fit this Hampstead soiree,
where unread copies of Rolling Stone,
well-thumbed Playboys
decorate the hi-fi stereo record shelves.
If you ask me they're on their way
to upper-middle-class oblivion.
The stupid twits, they roll their only
one cigarette between them.
My small cigar's redundant now
in the haze of smoking pleasure.
Call it a day,
Get the hell away,
Go down the cafe
For a cup of real tea.

By the tube station, there's a drunk old fool
who sells papers in the rush hour.
I hand to him ten small cigars.
He smiles, says, "Son, God bless you''.
A small cigar
Has changed his world, my friend
A small cigar
Has changed the world again

A small cigar, a small cigar,
a small cigar, a small cigar
a small cigar.

 

Randy Newman said: "when I heard 'the heat was hot' I knew it would be a hit".

 

Coming from you is a brave choice....

 

Even though I like the song "The Way You Do The Things You Do" by the Temptations, the lyrics have always been cringeworthy to me. "I'm holding you so tight, you know you could have been a handle".

 

I have always been an Elvis fan, for sure, but I always disliked the Teddy Bear's lyrics:

Elvis Presley-Teddy Bear

Baby let me be,
Your lovin teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck,
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

I dont wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I dont wanna be a lion
cause lions aint the kind
You love enough.
Just wanna be, your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

Baby let me be, around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair,
And cuddle me real tigh.

 

Come on, 21 posts and no McCartney lyrics yet?

"My love don't give me presents. I know that she's no peasant"

Or how 'bout "Big Barn Bed" or my favorite, "oo you":

Look Like A Woman
Dress Like A Lady
Talk Like A Baby
Love Like A Woman
Oo You
Oo You

Walk Like A Woman
Sing Like A Blackbird
Eat Like A Hunger
Cook Like A Woman

Oo You
Oo You

Look Like A Woman
Dress Like A Lady
Talk Like A Baby
Love Like A Woman

Oo You
Oo You

Golly golly golly goo goo

 

You know...I've never thought about it before, but does anyone think this song is positively rife with innuendo?

 

"Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. My particular "favorite" being:

"That dreamy look in your eye gave me a tropical contact high."

 

What's your problem with "See Me, Feel Me"?
