You'd Be Better Selling Water To The Gremlins Up In Space!

    Just heard that lyric in 'You Won't Get A Tan In The Costa Strabane' by Curtis McGee. I think it's the wrongest thing I've ever saw writ.

    Gremlins didn't come from space.
    They have no money to buy water.
    How would we get the water to them?

    Anybody think of a worser example of shoddy writing than that?

    Agree with Liz.

    You're just picking your knickers out your arse,
    Like you're playing a one stringed harp!

    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


    Worst. Ever.

    Wow- funny isn't it,because I think Bell X1 lyrics are fantastic,really clever. Now 'shine bright like a diamond' is pure balderdash.Diamonds don' t shine,they refract light. That's all.

    Clever?

    There can only be one ICP :D

    Actually maybe not so confusing as showing the confusion of the singer.

    I had no sleep last night, it's Monday and the heat's getting to me, but that makes perfect sense to me. That second 'in' transforms Live And Let Die from a cabaret crapfest into a masterpiece.

    Lou Reed has written some dreadful lyrics:

    "I would cut my legs and tits off when I think of Boris Karloff."

    That's off his Metallica collaboration.

    MacArthur Park is a classic of awful (yet kind of awesome) lyricism:

    "Between the parted pages
    We were pressed in love's hot fevered iron
    Like a striped pair of pants.

    MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark,
    All that sweet green icing flowing down.
    Someone left the cake out in the rain.
    And I don't think I can take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it
    And I'll never have that recipe again."

    This has to be one of the maddest reflecting what was obviously the burning question of the day.
    [Oh-me, oh-my, oh-you
    Whatever shall I do
    Hallelujah, the question is peculiar
    I'd give a lot of dough
    If only I could know
    The answer to my question
    Is it yes or is it no

    Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
    On the bedpost overnight
    If your mother says don't chew it
    Do you swallow it in spite
    Can you catch it on your tonsils
    Can you heave it left and right
    Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
    On the bedpost overnight

    Here comes a blushing bride
    The groom is by her side
    Up to the altar
    Just as steady as Gibraltar
    Why, the groom has got the ring
    And it's such a pretty thing
    But as he slips it on her finger
    The choir begins to sing

    Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
    On the bedpost overnight
    If your mother says don't chew it
    Do you swallow it in spite
    Can you catch it on your tonsils
    Can you heave it left and right
    Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
    On the bedpost overnight

    Now the nation rise as one
    To send their only son
    Up to the White House
    Yes, the nation's only White House
    To voice their discontent
    Unto the Pres-I-dent
    They pawn the burning question
    What has swept this continent

    (Lonnie speaks)
    If tin whistles are made of tin
    What do they make fog horns out of
    Boom, boom

    Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
    On the bedpost overnight
    If your mother says don't chew it
    Do you swallow it in spite
    Can you catch it on your tonsils
    Can you heave it left and right
    Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
    On the bedpost overnight

    On the bedpost overnight

    (Man)
    Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight

    (Lonnie)
    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
    Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night

    On the bedpost overnight

    (Man)
    A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime

    (Lonnie)
    He's singin' out the chorus
    But he hasn't got the time

    On the bedpost overnight, yeah

    I get that dull wave of contempt every time I hear that shite.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭Crooked Jack


    I dont know what song it is or who sings it but it was never off the radio there a while back.
    There's this one bit in it where some prick goes

    *something something something* spiral
    My love for you went viral.

    Makes me want to cringe, vomit and hit someone at the same time.

    Just look at it, complete gibberish, why I don't even think he can speak Engrish
