The most ridiculous song lyrics you've ever had the misfortune of hearing

Just as the title says folks! :biggrin: What are the most mind-numbingly idiotic lyrics you've ever heard; lyrics so bad that a part of yourself died inside; lyrics so awful that your cat yelped off of your bed and cowered beneath it?

Scroll to see replies

I do love them, so it's not really a misfortune, but I think they're undeniably ridiculous:
Kraftwerk - Showroom Dummies
We are standing here
Exposing ourselves
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies
[...]
We go into a club
And there we start to dance
We are showroom dummies
We are showroom dummies


David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome
(Own up, I'm a gnome, ain't I right, haha)
"Haven't you got an 'ome to go to?"
(No, we're gnomads)
"Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school? you look like a rolling gnome."
(No, not at the London School of Ecognomics)

Now they're staying up the chimney
And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!)
Cause they're earning me lots of money
Writing comedy prose for radio shows
It's the-er (what?)
It's the Gnome service of course

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, oh, dear me


And then there's crap like 'Now every day aint gonna be no picnic' and 'Is it better, is it worse/Are we sitting in reverse' that make me feel actual authentic anger and despair within.

'You could be the DJ, I could be the dance floor/You could get up on me' I also find ridiculous, but it doesn't annoy me, more just of a 'Hmm, well that's no good is it' kind of thing.

Katy Perry - Peacock:

I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock
I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock, cock
Your peacock, cock, cock
Your peacock

I just hate not being able to understand the meaning of this one :O

Cheryl Cole - Parachute

I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down

F*cking hell.

Give me The Smiths any day.
I've been Southampton but I never been to Scunthorpe... :awesome:

Also:

Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard
When we drink we do it right gettin' slizzard
Sippin' sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6
Like a G6, Like a G6
Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6


Hell Yeaa
Drink it up, drink-drink it up,
When sober girls around me, they be actin' like they drunk
They be actin like they drunk, actin'-actin' like they drunk
When sober girls around me actin'-actin' like they drunk


BAHAHA. :rofl:

Taylor Swift: The Way I Loved You

He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better

He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says, you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine

But I've been screamin' and fightin'
And kissin' in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you

Breakin' down and comin' undone
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

He respects my space and never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing, and I'm comfortable

But I've been screamin' and fightin'
And kissin' in the rain
And it's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you

Breakin' down and comin' undone
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

He can't see the smile I'm fakin'
And my heart's not breakin'
'Cause I'm not feelin' anything at all

And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated
Got away by some mistake and now

I'll be screamin' and fightin'
And kissin' in the rain
It's two a.m. and I'm cursin' your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you

Breakin' down and comin' undone
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

And that's the way I loved you
I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

Ima gangster, straight up G,
the gangster life is the life for me
shooting people by day, sexin bitches by night,
being a gangster, I like to fight.

Though I must note these are my own lyrics.
'And I was like, baby, baby, baby ohhhhhhhhhhhh'.

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me - Charlene

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

You could be the DJ
I could be the dance floor
You could get up on me
(On me, On me)
You could be the DJ
I could be the dance floor
You could get up on me
(On me, On me)

The club is alive with the sound of music
Who’s that girl in the spotlight oo coz she turns me on

EDIT: To whoever negged me; I pity your existence if you believe these lyrics don't belong in this thread!
