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....

please also add the whole "rap" at the end of blondie's "rapture". although it's so bad that it's actually good, it should be on the list.

some lines from the above-mentioned:

"flash is fast, flash is cool
francois sez fas, flashe' no do"

"and you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
then, when there's no more cars
you go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet"

yeah, that Blondie song is a definite.


Along those lines, the entire rock opera "The Iron Man" by Pete Townsend goes in here. There's a song which has a very similar "eating up cars" theme (makes sense in the plot) called "I Eat Heavy Metal". It's sung by a giant robot. What?
