Utterly stupid lyrics

As I'm goofing online, I'll often have some type of tunes or a ball game on. Usually pay little heed. I stopped for a momment to ponder, I hear U2's Bono singing from Achtung Baby,

"I'm going to run to you ... a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle ..."

Any other incredibly inane lyrics where you want to take the writer in a backroom screaming WTF!

 

Oh, think of the lyrics that you've thrown away for being too inane to realize someone took a dancable beat, and an equally good or better melody just made a million selling it to the masses.  Even lyricists who write good lines have some real "groaners."      

 Try "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" or "I Am the Walrus" by the Beatles. You need to teach a lot of vocabulary, but that's not a bad thing. I did "Lucy" with my post graduates this semester and it was a riot. I also taught "Love Me Like a Reptile" by Motorhead. 

I'm reminded of Spinal Tap: "The majesty of Rock/ the pageantry of Roll",  and "Because the less things change/ the more they stay the same"

 

The worst lyrics ever are in the Michael Jackson-Paul McCartney collaboration "The Girl is Mine".  The absolute nadir is when Jacko says "I think you got me wrong Paul - I'm a lover, not a fighter."

 Listening to The Doors classic Strange Days album at the moment. A lot of their more epic songs come to mind. "The End" (ride the snake?), "When the Musics Over" (the scream of the buttlerfly?) and so on.

Horse Latitudes is utter cod-poetry drivel.

"Everybody's talking all this stuff about me/ Why don't they just let me live?"  Brittney Spears covers Bobby Brown's My Prerogative. 

To get the true moronicity of this choice, you have to see the video.  a swanky high school house party is going on; all of a sudden a convertible sports car sails over the fence and crashes into the swimming pool.  Brittney hops out in a halter top and starts singing.

Add to this snogging Madonna onstage, sliding out of her limo vagina first at numerous public venues, and generally acting like a twit in front of the cameras of the world, and she has the NERVE to complain about a lack of privacy? 

 Oh!Oh!Oh! I got a good one! "Bang a Gong" by T-Rex. Anyone out there want to explain what it means to have "the teeth of the hydra upon you?" to a Chinese classroom? Or the line, "You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl" 

When I first played Nirvana's "Nevermind" to a mate, he thought the line "Likes to shoot his gun" in "In Bloom" in fact said "Likes a jewish cunt". 

My friends swore that In "Love is a Stranger" Annie Lennox sings "And I want to suck a circumcision"  (  "And I want you so, it's an obsession).

Just came to mind:

Schools Out by Alice Cooper:

Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
