What is a song that you think has awful lyrics?

[Nikki1989]

If you put De Do Do Da into Morse Code, it reads, ‘What is this Shit?

[RandomGirl42]

Ok, I approached this in a couple different ways. First I stayed out of anything country 'cuz I know where you keep your country music collection. Next, I stayed out of anything that came out during my generation 'cuz , well, I'm really hoping history will forget it all or it all gets erased in a large geoelectric magnetic storm or something. I wholeheartedly apologize on behalf of my generation for this attempt at music. Please, forgive us. We were confused.

Next I seperated lyrics from music. "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" Awesome music. Not the most complex lyrics. But not awful.

So, I settled with "Jump" from Van Halen. I mean, I know it got popular and all but what the hell is "Jump." My 5 year old niece could have written that. And just to display my displeasure for such dumb lyrics whenever I hear it play I never "Jump".

I mean, seriously? Like what was next, Hop, Skip, Run?

[Nikki1989]

Yes, Van Halen were never songwriting geniuses.

And TY for the MHO. 😊

And for those not able to translate the German, I can assure you 'da' is the lyrical high watermark of the song.

I've always held out a simmering hatred for Katy Perry's effort to sell out an entire sexual identity for the sake of the God of Green. To recapitulate, women are cowardly drunks, malignant users, subservient to their boyfriend's good opinion of them and sinners. Well, that's empowering!!

Or maybe I'm just too nostalgic for Jill Sobule.

This song seems to be a cross over between Deutsch and Russian lyrics of "I love the night" und "da" in Russian= ja/yes. That being said "I love the night,... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" still suck as lyrics.

[MrChinaski]

@WeezertheTeazer The basic theme is that two people don't love each other. Perhaps they were distracted by the handheld casio...

Kraftwerk still best German band!

AWFUL

[Nikki1989]

Ha! Good choice.

[MemeSupreme]

that covers a lot of songs lol

like red hot chili peppers can be off but i dont really mind

[LiamJHayden]

Well most modern pop. But a song I otherwise love? I always found the lyrics to "Highway Star" stupid. Epic guitar and organ from Blackmore and Lord deserved Dio-level lyrics.

[Xawyx-2]

Most songs by Nickleback, many of the rap songs... it's a very long list.

[progboy]

Lonely Day by System of a Down. It's a great song musically and I love SOAD but it makes me cringe when I hear the line "The most loneliest day of my life"
