Worst Line(s) In A Song

You know, the ones that really stick out as being terrible, even when the song itself is pretty good.

OK, well,
This is the city of Los Angeles,
And it never sleeps,
It may look like it,
But it doesn't.
It lives and breathes nocturnally

"Stand Your Ground" by Rancid. Great band, an otherwise pretty good song, marred by this godawful spoken word interlude. This might be my least favorite part of any song ever.

Whatever the hell that guy Snow sang on "Informer".

Nickelback - Never Again

"Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure"


Now I think that domestic violence/spousal abuse is one of the lowest attributes of mankind, but these are some of the most cheeseball lyrics I've ever heard. Whenever this song plays on the radio I feel embarassed for this band. But it's not like these few lyrics ruined the whole song for me. I could give two shits about this band or their music

"Get some better beats and get some better rhymes."- Fred Durst. What a little bitch with man titties

"Yes we were born, born, born to be alive."

Duh. Ya think?

"What else can I say? Everyone is gay." - Nirvana "All Apologies"

got my arms a flip flop flip flop flip-NIN-getting smaller NIN is my fave band of all time but that lyric is just incredibly bad.

"you put the art in retarded" -the bravery

i put the retarded in retarded by knowing this. i have a good excuse though.

"take a look to the sky just before you die. its the last time you will"

there are a lot more bad lines. makes me not feel so bad about shitty lyrics i write

We can dance and party all night
And drink some Cherry Wine.

CherryWHATNOW?

paint it black - the stones.

its a good song, but the lyrics are kindof brutal in parts and don't make much sense.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black?

Dude, "a licky boom boom down" is fucking poetry, k?

i love that song.

"uh..yeah......

we won't stop

we can't stop

Bad Boy... Diddy"


Just about every P. Diddy (used the P out of spite) song ever made....

Interpol can't just be covered by one song:

"She can read
She can read
She can read
She's bad!
Oh, she's bad"

"Your hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby you're really the best"

I always loved-loved-LOVED The Bangles' Manic Monday, which is why I jumped at the chance to sing it at karaoke. Only I never really knew the words to the bridge. I'd always thought it was just about slogging through the workday after a great weekend. Then we got to that point and the teleprompter said:

Of all of the nights,
why did my lover have to pick
last night to get down?

and I practically spit my midori clear across the room. By the time it got to:

He tells me in his bedroom voice:
"C'mon, honey -- let's go make some noise!!!"

I was too astounded by the weird sleazy-cheesiness of it all to properly make it through the ending rounds of chorus. Horrible.

Come on... you could hear the words clearly........

Blame Prince. He wrote it, so of course it's sleazy-cheesy.

What I hate about the "C'mon honey..." line is that little walk up vamp that follows it, it's so retarded sounding.

"Hold on to sixteen as long as you can,
Changes come around real soon to make us women and men"

John Cougar Mellancamp
"Jack and Diane"

Sounds like a line from a sex ed film in 1971.

PRINCE WROTE MANIC MONDAY?!?!

That's it, Keith. That is IT. My world is shattered, my eternal flame has expired, and even if I had an aer-oh-plane I still wouldn't make it on time.

Haha oh god man that whole bridge is bad.

Time... it goes so fast... WHEN YOU'RE HAVIN' FUN!!!!

Hahahaha. Yeah, the rumor is that he wrote it because he had a crush on Susanna Hoffs.

Heh, well I guess that's fair. I mean, who doesn't?

She's got peripheral vision like WHAT.
