The Museum of Embarassingly Bad Song Lyrics.

[pixiecrinkle]

Because I'm bored -- another post!

So last night automat76 and I were discussing things we have strong distaste for, and I brought up the idea of starting a list of horrific song lyrics.

My initial ideas of things to include were:

-"a mole, digging in a hole, digging in my soul" from U2's "Elevation"
-"your body is a wonderland" by john mayer (this song makes me gag, in a way it doesn't make most people, because I find it exceptionally sappy & trite)

automat brought up:
-The use of the word "moot" in an 80s song we heard recently (the name is escaping me -- what was that?)
-"All I wanna do is make love to you" by Heart

I have since decided to add:
-"Teenagers, Kick our Butts" by Dar Williams (and I *love* Dar Williams, but this was not a good song)

So else wants to play curator? Nominate the sappy, overly contrived, or just the bad stretches to make the rhyme....

They've revamped "Your Body Is A Wonderland" into "Your Body is a Wasteland."

I have some friends with a home karaoke machine, and at one party there were three girls who performed Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" as "Genie in your Butthole." Crass, but hilarious.

And I so agree with you on Train. They are also heinously guilty of filling in the ends of lines with a four or five syllable "yeah". Dude! That's not a word!
