Mainstream entertainment is so full of crap these days, eh? I'm sure you've literally facepalmed at least once in the last year when hearing some stupid shit on MTV and the like.

So what's the most idiotic song lyrics you've ever heard? Tell me, I wanna feel dumb today!

Frankly, I'm split between these two gems.

Hanson - Mmm-Bop

[Error: unknown template video]

Sample:
“In an mmm bop they’re not there.
Until you lose your hair.
No, But you don’t care.”

...
“Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It’s a secret no one knows
It’s a secret no one knows
No one knows”


Or how about this one.

Emilia - Big Big World

[Error: unknown template video]

I'm a big big girl
In a big big world
It's not a big big thing if u leave me
But I do do feel
That I do do will
Miss u much
Miss u much


Really? It's not a big thing if U leave me, but I'll miss U much. Eh? Stupid bitch LOL.

Hands off. "Friday" by far defeats everybody else.

Rebecca Black - Friday
[Error: unknown template video]

7am, waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’

...

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

...

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin’)
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after...wards
I don’t want this weekend to end

Busi Mhlongo, Uganga nge Ngane.

She has a powerful voice and she always enchants the audience, but the lyrics of this number are really amazingly dumb: The kids, the kids, you're playing around with the kids... repeated over and over, etc.

Oliver Mtukudzi, Ndakuvara.

He's a legend in Zimbabwe, and I'm sure he meant to put some hidden meaning in this song, but still. It makes very little sense in Shona, and much less in English: I was injured while I was training the ox, I thought this ox would be like its elders but he ignored his elders. Everything is upside down now, the young ox kicked me and I'm hurt...

I really, really love Bush, but by God none of their lyrics make sense. A sample:

Blood on your dress
Hole in your sky
Blanket is gone
Permanent night

We're glued
We break
We all
Dilate

We please
We pain
Again

She checks her head
She's in the smoke
Figuring which way to turn
Now she's got a rope

Oh
We need solutions
A brave megaphone
We need solutions
A brave megaphone

Oh come on.

Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

No, actually, I don't think it is ironic at all. Unless you mean a song about irony that seems to have no clear idea of the definition of irony.

When the music comes first ...

The problem with lame lyrics can usually be attributed to the fact that most of our modern singer-songwriters start with writing a 'cool' piece of music first.

Then then add the lyrics to it later on. That is why Mike Stipe of REM used to mumble the lyrics on their early albums.

When the words are written first, then the music is written to match, and usually the song makes more sense.

I was interested to hear how David Byrne writes lyrics. He starts with the music, and then starts writing possible words & phrases in a notebook. At the start he has no real idea what the song will be about--he just starts in a very free-form way. Eventually he will choose the phrases that he likes best, and they will form the core idea for the song.

That. Basically, no one else in the world is Bernie Taupin.

And then we have Phil Collins, who cares so little whether his songs suck like the giant black hole at the center of the universe or not that he just throws whatever bullcrap phrases pop into his head onto the page, records the song that way, collects his check and goes and does whatever absolute crap songwriters who couldn't write a decent lyric to save their lives do when they're not writing absolute crap songs.

The Fifth Dimension - Age of Aquarius. Stupidest, most idiotic lyrics ever written.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars


It's all I can do not to grab my gun and shoot the radio whenever I hear it.*

* Granted, I don't have a gun, but if I did....

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

. . .

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhale
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!


Oooooh-aaaaaaah

I personally vacillate between Charlene's "Never Been to Me" (srsly, go look that one up sometime if you ever need to induce projectile vomiting and happen to be out of ipecac) and anything ever penned by David Gates of Bread fame.

Probably have to go with the latter given a choice, 'cause that dude's crapfests didn't even seem to be in English when the actual words obviously were.

I'm going to see Hanson!!!

"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
