:D

Where does one start listing what is wrong with most of that? Heavens...

On worst lyrics in general, while I have all of their albums, only Sting could manage to rhyme "cough" with "Nabakov" (Don't Stand So Close To Me). Honorable mention to Toto also for the line "as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" in "Africa".

Maybe it's the vocal delivery but that line in "Africa" doesn't sound too bad in the song itself.

Many, many pop songs have terrible lyrics, but it seems worse than ever these days.
From an 80s shocker though:

"Aga doo doo doo, push pineapple shake the tree, aga doo doo doo, push pineapple grind coffee"

Highlighed worst lyrics in BOLD!!!!

I got a letter just the other day
She sent a picture but she didn't sign her name
She wore high heels and a little black lace
I knew her body but I couldn't see her face

She didn't leave a number, not an address or a clue
But something in that photograph reminded me of you

Baby, let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby, let me be your private eye

I got a call in the middle of the night
Heavy breathing never sounded quite so nice
She said, "Ohh, yeah, I wish that I was there"
I asked her who was calling but she wasn't playing fair

Sometimes you gotta suffer for the pleasure that you seek
You're begging for an eyeful but you only get a peek

Baby, let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby, let me be your private eye

I heard somebody knocking, so I opened up the door
She wore a hat, shades and a trench coat
Wasn't wearing that much more
She said she knew my secrets but I didn't have a clue
Then I saw those black lace panties
And I knew that it was you


Baby, let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby, let me be your private eye

Let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby, let me be your private eye

Let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, let's put the X in sex
Keep it undercover, baby, let me be your private eye
Let's put the X in sex
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
song by Paul Stanley - 1988

It's a Great Great Club
And the Club We Love
We're the Good old Red and Whites
The Mighty Roosters we're called
All for One, One for all
If we're down we Fight Fight Fight
We like to Play as a Team
And we Play it Clean
We're Never out of Sight
Be it Wet be it Dry
We Try Try Try
We're the Good old Red and Whites

Mind you, "dashing and gay" is a lyric that I'm sure seemed to roll off the tongue nicely when it was first penned, but with the wisdom of years past now makes us cringe :D

Remember a certain song by Billy Ray Cyrus a while back. Has to be the worst lyrics ever. Something to do with an achy breaky heart. It's shocking

What, you don't like this...."I hope you know I pack a chainsaw, I'll skin your ass raw, and if my day keeps goin this way I just might, break somethin tonight". Not sure if Fred wrote it though.....

How about this beauty from a while back by Warrant...

Swingin in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't
Cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swingin' in there
Cause she wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater

Charlene - I've Never Been To Me


Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
