    I was just thinking about some of the awful lyrics Ive heard in the past and I reckon that Tom Jones - Sex Bomb is probably the worst song EVER written (Lyrically).

    Well, either that or possibly something like Shakira - Whenever, wherever.

    What do YOU reckon?

    Worst song ever written?

    The lyrics below are not the worst but the best songs ever written

    Tears on the telephone
    Help poor out the rain
    Where Were You (when the world stopped truning)

    Or the song without lyrics ODB freestyling
    Go axe yo mamma
    what is the recipe
    uh dum de go axe yo dad he uh

    Raekwon tries to give him an out but ODB just keeps digging.

    I advise all of you to search and read the lyrics.

    There will be a test.

    Tom Jones - Sex Bomb.. I agree. I always found that song ridiculous, especially the bit where he laughs.

    What about these lyrics from a Pras song called 'For The Love of This':

    ...Scuba Diving with the Navy Seals in the Yellow Submarine

    Headed for, the Philippines, microphone fiend with are regain green

    It burns when I eat tangerine, wash it down with a cup of Gasoline

    Burn into flames...

    I know it's only recent, but this surely is a contender:

    What you gon' do with all that junk?
    All that junk inside your trunk?
    I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
    Get you love drunk off my hump.
    My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
    My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps. (Check it out)
    Etc., etc., ad nauseum

    My Humps - Black Eyed Peas

    But she's soooooooo hot. And if they make a video for it (which they did!) it's even better!

    Yep this wins, hands down. Worst lyrics ever by a mile. Other contenders are... Where is the love? Another Black Eyed Peas classic. In fact all the sh*te that they've ever done. Proves you don't need talent when you've got apparent style and a hot singer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 Greenhorse


    Lads your way off the pace with Black Eyed Peas,

    You need go no further than that man Scooter:. Go on sing it out loud. I bet you never new the words anyway. The first verse makes the only bit of sense in the whole thing lol

    The Logical Song

    When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
    a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
    And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happilly,
    so joyfully,
    Oh, playfully watching me.

    Good morning!
    Yea-ah!
    1,2-1,2,3,4!
    Pump it up!
    Aah!

    I ramp, me no ramp, me no skin, me no play, yeah!
    When me chant 'pon the microphone and me say with the DJ...
    Junglists in the place!
    Junglists on the case!
    Scooter, are you Ratty?

    Come on!

    Love, peace and unity! Siberia the place to be!
    The K, the L, the F and the ology...
    Halleluja!!
    1,2-1,2,3 Yeah!
    Rough!
    Aaahh...!!

    Here we go!!

    Stand up!!

    Once again!

    We're gettin' jiggy!

    Siberiaaaaahhh!!!...

    Yeah!

    Goodbye!


    How bloody marvelous was that eh? :confused: Not a clue what he was talking about but danced like a maniac when ever it was played.


    ps I must also give a nod to Right Said Fred for " I'm to sexy" and "Deeply Dippy"

    Bloody fantastically awfull!!

    No contest peeps - The Stylistics' "Na Na is the Saddest Word" (Even the title conveys its absolutely ballsology)

    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

    Na, na is the saddest word I ever heard
    Baby, don’t say it
    Please don’t say it

    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

    Na, na is the surest way to break my heart
    Baby, don’t do it
    Please don’t do it


    After these masterful verses they round it off with this gem of a canon

    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Na, na, na, na)
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Na, na, na, na)
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Na, na, na, na)
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Na, na, na, na)

    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (Na, na, na, na)
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na


    Quite startlingly bad.

    There was this dodgy irish boy band called D-Side a couple of years ago had a song called "Invisible". I think it was supposed to be romantic but it just came across creepy and perverse if you ask me. Sample Lyrics...

    "If i was Invisible,
    I would just watch you in your room
    ...
    If I was invisible I'd make you mine tonight"

    Was i the only one to think this song was wrong on so many levels?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 584 ✭✭✭hallelujah


    great band tho but this one is terrible...

    The Libertines, Up the Bracket's I get along

    "I get along, just singing my song, people tell me I'm wrong..... F*ck 'em"

    *hi5*

    Who cares what the stupid bint looks like? Since when do looks ahve anything to do with how good or bad a song or it's lyrics are?

    Ihad a similar argument with a guy at work the other day when this POS came on the radio;
    Me; "It's shíte, turn it off"
    Him "Yeah but she's a ride"
    Me; "It's on the feckin radio"


    Following a close second to My Humps, is that one Mr Blunt is currently aurally assaulting us with, Wise men or something....I've heard it X many times and it still makes NO sense, even though the lyrics sound l;ike they're supposed to. cack.

    I'm sure there's loads more, but that'll do for now...


    [edit] Oh scooter...good call. I'd prefer to just blank him from my memory and thankfully he didn't get airplay on most of the stations I'd listen to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    The worst lyrics for me, besides all that meaningless pop drivel vomited up by the latest starlet or puppet-band, would have to be Nymphomaniac Fantasia by my beloved Nightwish:

    The scent of a woman was not mine...

    Welcome home darling
    Did you miss me?
    Wish to dwell in dear love?

    Touch my milklike skin
    Feel the ocean
    Lick my deepest
    Hear the starry choir

    Rip off this lace
    That keeps me imprisoned
    But beware of the enchantment
    For my eroticism is oblivion

    Old love lies deep you said
    Deeper shall be the wound between your legs

    People, people... The Logical Song was by Supertramp... all Scooter did was butcher it up a bit.

    For me it has to be Life by Des'ree

    Life

    I'm afraid of the dark,
    'specially when I'm in a park
    And there's no-one else around,
    Ooh, i get the shivers

    I don't want to see a ghost,
    it's a sight that I fear most
    I'd rather have a piece of toast and
    watch the evening news

    Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, doo,
    doot doot dooo. Life, oh life, oh life,
    oh life, doo, doot dooo

    I'm a superstitious girl,
    I'm the worst in the world
    Never walk under ladders,
    I keep a rabbit's tail

    I'll take you up on a dare, anytime, anywhere
    Name the place, I'll be there, bungee jumping,
    I don't care!

    So after all is said and done
    I know I'm not the only one
    Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to
    Sometimes living out your dreams,
    Ain't as easy as it seems
    You wanna fly around the world,
    In a beautiful balloon


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Roxette The Look

    1-2-3-4 walking like a man
    Hitting like a hammer
    She's a juvenile scam
    Never was a quitter
    Tasty like a raindrop
    She's got the look

    To be quite honest this whole verse confuses Pighead but the bit where Per yells "Tasty like a raindrop" always made me worry about the poor lads tastebuds.
    Steak and Chips with a runny egg and peppered sauce=Tasty
    Raindrop=Wet, slightly acidy and maybe refreshing but absolutely a million miles from tasty.

    And as well as that if the girls walking like a man and hitting like a hammer she can keep that Look to herself thank you very much.

    saints and sinners,cant stand it!



    Anyone can loose it all
    Anyone can loose it all
    If you don't heed your warnings call
    Anyone can loose it all

    Anyone can make a mess
    Anyone can make a mess
    Just take so much and make it less
    Anyone can make a mess

    When you got time and streets making saints & sinners
    Ink on sheets makin' losers and winners
    Well it's not what your dreams should be

    Anyone can be a saint
    Well anyone can be a saint
    Well you just forget that you ain't
    Well we can go and be a saint

    Anyone can be a star
    Well anyone can be a star
    We'll just get in your car
    And we can go and be a star

    When you got time and streets making saints & sinners
    Ink on sheets makin' losers and winners
    Well it's not what your dreams should be

    You know I wish we had more time
    You know I wish we had more time
    You know I think it was a crime
    The things we waste trying to not waste our time

    When you got time and streets making ends for beginners
    Shuffling feets on these losers and winners
    Well it's not what your dreams should be

    Okay People,

    It is becoming painfully obvious that to make a lot of money singing songs they dont need to mean ANYTHING! :eek:

    However me thinks that there needs to be somthing else apart form the lyrics.

    **** lyrics go un-noticed by most people if there is a catchy tune or memorable video to go with. Or in the case of Scooter, Pills, Pills and more Pills - Siberiiiiiiiiiaaaaaa - :rolleyes:

    Bo Selecta :cool: ,

    Black eyed peas are terrible.

    But what about this tripe from Meatloaf - Anything for love.

    Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
    Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
    Will you make it all a little less cold?
    I can do that! I can do that!

    Will you hold me sacred? will you hold me tight?
    Can you colorize my life, I’m so sick of black and white?
    Can you make it all a little less old?
    I can do that! oh oh, now I can do that!
    Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands?
    Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
    Can you give me something I can take home?
    I can do that! oh oh now, I can do that!

    Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
    Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
    Will you take me places I’ve never known?
    I can do that! oh oh now, I can do that!
    After a while you’ll forget everything
    It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night’s fling
    And you’ll see that it’s time to move on
    I won’t do that! no I won’t do that!

    I know the territory, I’ve been around
    It’ll all turn to dust and we’ll all fall down
    And sooner or later, you’ll be screwing around
    I won’t do that! no I won’t do that!
    Anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
    I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that, no I won’t do that

    Don't tell me you've all forgotten about the musical abomination that was Vanilla. Four horrid Essex slappers, singing about you not being able to shag them, even though they've probably seen more action than Ron Jeremy.

    We can get a kick out of you, boy

    *Repeat

    Ah, you can hold me in your arms
    Ah, but if you fought yourself on me

    Dont forget the king of bad lyrics - Noel Gallagher , great tunes but crap words
    Slowly walking down the hall faster than a cannonball

    And so Sally can wait she knows its too late
    Just a few that came to mind there's loads more
