Milli Vanilli - Girl I'm Gonna Miss You
"Like a honeybee you took the best of me"
I like the song but that lyric is pretty dire.

Ja Rule-I Cry
"When you died I cried we cried together"

Richard Harris - Mac Arthur Park
"Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!"

This one wins the award for stupidest lyrics ever

I don't know about stupidest but certainly most debated. Does anybody know what the hell it means?

It's a metaphor about love. As stupid as the lyrics are, this song wouldn't have been quite as bad if it weren't intended to be taken seriously. It makes Weird Al Yankovic's parody seem like a work of genius.

Leelee said:

Yeah, I get that it's a metaphor, it's just a deeply, deeply buried mataphor.

the whole song of "U SAVED ME"!!!!!

the video's just as bad.

I love the melody of this song...
Always thought it was about a wedding cake and the metaphore goes like a bride who is about to lose his groom...

Just thoughts

Wow. I had to check out the video, and yeah...it's really, REALLY bad. He's never impressed me as a particularly bright person, and that video really solidifies why. The intro is the best (worst) part, as he over-explains the inspiration for the silly song. He starts having convulsions at about the 5:00 point in the video, and I really had to turn it off to keep myself from laughing at what was apparently supposed to be a moving piece of spoken word.

The worst lyrics:

I was in the aisle of the grocery store
With a pain in my chest and I’m wondering where did it come from
I got tested, and the results came back
And the doctor said I’m sorry but you got cancer
I could not believe it so I called up my mama to calm my nerve
Mama, she got down on her knees.
Mama, she said a prayer for me
Mama, said just keep on thanking jesus
Mama, he’ll give you all you need
That was five years ago don’t have that pain no mo
Doc sayes you can go home cause all your cancer's gone

Yeah, but how many times in a day to we say the same thing!

Actually, Diamonds and Pearls has some of the weakest lyrics I've ever heard in a song. The chorus and concept is nice, but it sounds like the verses were a total rush job.

INTRO]
Huh Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hulkster
ahatever they call you, I'm comin after you, you coward

[VERSE I]
Hot diggity damn Hulk I'm glad you set it off (set if off)
Used to be hard Hulk now ya done turned soft
Doin' telephone commercials I seen ya
Dancin' in tights as a ballerina
I knew all along you had those tendencies
Cuz you've been runnin' from Macho like I got a disease
Dude please your pay per view event was a joke
You're avoidin' Randy Savage cuz you know you'll get smoked
Come on that phony fight the Rock spanked you fast
But when I challenged Hogan to a real fight he passed
I called him out but the punk was scared to go
It was a charity event but the Hulk didn't show
Hollywood Hulkster you're at the end of your rope
And I'm a kick ya in the butt and wash your mouth out with soap
Cuz like Rodney Dangerfield you gets' no respect
So come on Hulk let's wreck so I can put you in check

[CHORUS]
Be a man Hulk Come on don't be scared
Your runnin' from Macho that's what I heard

Be a man Hogan Come on don't be a chump

I never thought Hulk would go out like a punk

Be a man Hulk Come on don't be scared
You're runnin' from Macho that's what I heard

Be a man Hogan Boy you's a chump
Cuz Hulk Hogan is a real big punk

[VERSE II]
They call you Hollywood (hugh hugh) don't make me laugh
Cuz your movies and your actin' skills are both trash
Your movies straight to video the box office can't stand
While I got myself a feature role in Spider Man
Ya hidin' man but when I find you it's on
And when I slam ya to the dirt you'll wish you's never born
I smell a coward mmmm is that you Hogan
Macho's gonna kick ya butt is the slogan
You try to ignore me thinkin' I'll go away
But I'm a keep on messin' wit ya dude day after day
And once you step to Macho you're through
The joke's on you so Hulk what you gonna do
Probably nothing cuz you're a real big punk
You called my dad up on the phone man you's a chump
Cuz if you really got static take it up with me
And I'll punk ya butt out for the world to see

[CHORUS] 2X

That's by design, of course.

Kissmequick said:

Didn't think of that

Smooches;)

The line in This Kiss by Faith Hill about "centrifugal motion".....
(Not a word that trips off the tongue, most would agree....)


Others that spring to mind:

"Your love is a 187,
Taking me to heaven"
(By some lame early-nineties r'n'b group. Nothing quite like a carefully chosen metaphor, to express one's affections for a young lady.....)

"When I'm feeling blue,
All I have to do,
Is take a look at you,
Then I'm not so blue"
(What a load of poo - Phil Collins sang the song, not sure who wrote it, but they need a slap!)

kev1n said:

I had forgot about "Be a Man"... his personal "threat" to Hulk. And the line about having a featured role in Spiderman...he was only in there for like 5 min.

The sad thing about it is that he was actually serious while makin' the cd. He shoulda kept his day job.


"ohhh yeeaaaah"

ANYTHING by R. Kelly, and that damn City High song...

"what would you do if you're son was at home..."

I can't be bothered to type any more, but you know the one.

FINALLY some1 mentioned the ass-crap lyrical asswaxing of R. U. Smelly.

"U remind me of my car"?! If some1 said that 2 me, U betta not have a polo or mini!

'dre

Queen - Put Out the Fire
"People get shot by people, people with guns" No kidding.

Culture Club - Do you Really Want to Hurt Me
"In my heart the fire's burning
Choose my color, find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step, a step too far"

Yes, George, I really do want to hurt you
[This message was edited Thu Jul 22 17:24:41 2004 by Leelee]

Leelee said:

Those were Culture Club lyrics, not George Michael's. And they actually have a subtext to them, although they seem stupid if you take them 100% literally.

Leelee said:

I thought it was a metaphor about being stoned out of your mind. Or maybe it was more autobiographical than metaphorical.

I Can't believe I typed George Michael, I meant Boy George.

Leelee said:

I thought as much .

let me think...

anything by OL' DIRTY BASTARD!(FROM THE WU-TANG CLAN)

AKA BABY JESUS
AKA O' SIRIUS

memorable lines(from some of his songs that i remember):

shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yeah shimmy yea
gimme the mike so i can take it away.


"shame on ya when ya tried to step to the ol' dirty bastard.brooklyn zoo."...LMAO!

getting up on stage acting like a pig,trying to hog s***!.....LOL!

Everyone knows I love Janet, but what was up with these lyrics from "He Doesn't Know I'm Alive"?...

The last evening I drived on by,
Just to see if he was home.
And when he opened the door,
I could have died!
I said, "Excuse me, I thought my friend lived here."...

Jadakiss-Why

Lyrics:

[Jadakiss]
Aha
It's dat real
Yo, why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets
Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in dept
And why them dudes ain't ridin' if there part of your set
And why they never get it poppin' but they party to death
Yea, and why they gon give you life for a murder
Turn around only give you eight months for a burner, it's goin down
Why they sellin' niggaz CD's for under a dime
If it's all love daddy why you come wit your nine
Why my niggaz ain't get that cake
Why is a brother up North better than Jordan
That ain't get that break
Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly
Why is rattin' at an all time high
Why are you even alive
Why they kill Tupac n' Chris
Why at the bar you ain't take straight shots instead of poppin Crist'
Why them bullets have to hit that door
Why did Kobe have to hit that raw
Why he kiss that whore
Why

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
All that I been givin'
Is this thing that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent up on the highway
Why, oh why
Why they do me like that

[Jadakiss]
Why would niggaz push pounds and powder
Why did bush knock down the towers
Why you around them cowards
Why Aaliyah have to take that flight
Why my nigga D ain't pull out his Ferrari
Why he take that bike
Why they gotta open your package and read your mail
Why they stop lettin' niggaz get degreez in jail
Why you gotta do eighty-five percent of your time
And why do niggaz lie in eighty-five percent of they rhymes
Why a nigga always want what he can't have
Why I can't come through in the pecan Jag
Why did crack have to hit so hard
Even though it's almost over
Why niggaz can't get no jobs
Why they come up wit the witness protection
Why they let the terminator win the election
Come on, pay attention
Why sell in the stores what you can sell in the streets
Why I say the hottest shit but we sellin' the least

[Chorus]

[Jadakiss]
Uh, yea, yo
Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get a Oscar
Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it
Why they didn't make the CL6 wit a clutch
And if you don't smoke why the hell you reachin' for my dutch
Why rap, cause I need air time
Why be on the curb wit a "while I" I need a bare sign
Why all the young niggaz is dyin'
Cause they moms at work, they pops is gone, they livin' wit iron
Why they ain't give us a cure for aids
Why my diesel have fiends in the spot on the floor for days
Why you screamin' like it's slug, it's only the hawk
Why my buzz in L.A. ain't like it is in New York
Why you forcin' you to be hard
Why ain't you a thug by choice
Why the whole world love my voice
Why try to tell 'em that it's the flow son
And you know why they made the new twenties
Cause I got all my old ones
That's why

[Chorus]

A 7 yr. old could've wrote it. The man makes some good points, but it's just like the average person askin' everyday questions.....so STUPID! Especially the line about Bush knocking down the towers...everytime I hear that line, I think of a little kid goin'..."Mommy why did Bush knock down the towers"

"Sweet Lady" by Queen...

Actually, I think that's pretty good.

I think the all time stupidest lyrics have to go to Poison for "Talk Dirty To Me".

My dog could write better lyrics.

Oh, and those are some of Posions better lyrics!
