Bad Song Lyrics

[China Doll]

Hi All,

Just heard a song I can't stand by a group I can't remember but it does have my most hated lyrics in it,

' I miss you, like the desert misses the rain'

It's a bl00dy desert, it does not miss the rain by definition and life continues there quite happily without it!

Anyway, enough of my ranting, do you have any song lyrics which for no real reason annoy the pants off you?

Cheers
China xx

what about that song about leaving the cake out in the rain. Not so much the lyrics but why the song? It's insane.
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages
And were pressed in love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
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!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
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!

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
Oooh, after all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why

Dooby dooby doo, Frank Sinatra

[spanner7853]

they chopped off some of my thread. there were a few more but I cant be arsed to retype it.

[minimonkey]

i like that song - everything but the girl - missing

I hate the new ordinary boys one ......lemme think of some more i hate.......

[Supernick]

Ironic by that Morisette character. Quite how it got through so many producers, execs, bosses etc without anyone asking her if she actually knew the definition of ironic is unbelievable.

[littleoldme]

The lyrics to one of the most overrated songs of all time (IMHO), so-called "rock classic" All Right Now by Free. Yes it's got a memorable riff (big chuffin' deal) but the lyrics are truly dreadful.

There she stood, in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet

erm...what??...How does that work?

I said "Hey, what is this"

it's a woman

Now baby, maybe she's in need of a kiss

If she's standing in the street grinning for no apparent reason, maybe she's in need of coming off the drugs. And don't call me baby.

I said "Hey, what's your name baby
maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate"

Let's move before they what? It's at this point that she should start edging away from him or looking around for a police officer.

I won't bother with the second verse, but it doesn't get any better.

[unruliejulie]

I hate this song too china doll.

[Hellion]

It's kind of ironic isn't it Supernick lol!

[B00]

Steve Miller Band's The Joker always leaves me baffled... especially the 1st verse....

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love


Errr- the what of love????

[China Doll]

Nick - Maybe the whole song is actually subtly ironic.... no wait, I am talking out of the proverbial! (Can't believe I forgot that one).

Oldme - I always thought that perhaps that song was about a pro anyway ;0)

Boo - Kind of like that actually.

Jules - Congrats on being an excellent judge of terrible songs that should never have been let out of the recording studio!

I would also like to add 'Wake up it's a beauiful morning'... in the words that so many of my alarm clocks have died to 'BOG OFF!'

[unruliejulie]

its the way she sings and i missuuuuuuuuuuuuu that gets me! ahhhhhhhh

[Goldspot]

I have always hated the Lloyd Cole lyric that goes " Read Norman Mailer , or get a new tailor" . arty nonsense .... nuff said.

[ermintrude35]

...ah the classic from Snap, rhythm is a dancer...they don't write them like this anymore ..... (err they probably still do )

"I'm serious as cancer , when I say rhythm is a dancer"

...................................................................................................


...aaah then we had those nice young un-potty trained boys from Busted...

" I messed my pants, when we flew over France".... inspiring

................................................................................

THE SONG: Peter Cetera, "Glory of Love"
THE LYRIC:"Just like a knight in shining armour/from a long time ago"
THE VERDICT: It's fun to picture him getting the "knight in shining armor" part and then struggling with how to follow it up. "From Medieval times�? �From the 12th century?� �F*ck it: 'From a long time ago.

[littleoldme]

LOL B00 - I can only assume he's trying to sing "hippopotamus of love" but can't quite fit the words in. Probably an imaginary friend of his or something. Why that should make people want to call him Maurice, I don't know. Perhaps Maurice is a common hippo name. He's a midnight toker too, apparently, whatever that is...

Hey listen, don't ask me. 25 years after Kim Carnes released Bette Davis Eyes, I've only just found out that I've been mishearing the lyrics for all that time, and that the subject of the song does not know just what it takes to make a CROW blush. Always thought that was a bit daft.

[Pippa68]

My take on the 'Missing' track (deserts miss the rain) by Everything But The Girl is that she doesn't miss him at all...the whole song sounds like she doesn't like him that much:

''I look up at your house ~ I can almost hear you shout down to me, where I always used to be''

I will get back to you with my hated lyrics!

[Pippa68]

I quite like arty lyrics that don't seem to make sense eg: Whiter Shade Of Pale, Bohemian Rhapsody etc but this one drives me insane:

Eiffel 65/ Blue

Yo listen up here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and his self
And everybody around
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen..

I'm blue daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die
Daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die(x2)

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette, it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die
Daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die(x2)

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette, it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die
Daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die daba di daba die(x2)

[China Doll]

Sounds like someone suffering from OCD with the colour blue Pippa.... I remember that song, terrible.

[BigDogsWang]

Yeah 'Ironic'.

"A black fly in your Chardonney".

That's not 'ironic'...........that's just sh*t.

[BigDogsWang]

How about the king of fake rap, Vanilla Ice.....

"To the extreme I rock the mike like a vandal
Light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle"

Doofus.

[China Doll]

BDW.... just have to say, I have not burst out laughing at another ABer's name for a long time! Fantastic.
