Brain numbingly stupid lyrics

[KZNSeagull]

I put it to you, M'Lud, that one Mr Ian Dury, is the King of this genre.
The case for the defence is below


(spoken)
good evening i'm from essex
in case you couldn't tell
my given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay
and I'm doing very well

had a love affair with Nina
in the back of my Cortina
a seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
she took me to the cleaners
and other misdemeanours
but I got right up between her
rum and her Ribena

well, you ask Joyce and Vicki
if candy-floss is sticky
I'm not a blinking thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and i'm doing very well

I bought a lot of brandy
when I was courting Sandy
took eight to make her randy
and all I had was shandy
another thing with Sandy
what often came in handy
was passing her a 'Mandy'
she didn't half go bandy

etc, etc

I don't class that as stupid - I would class it as genius. It sums up the essence of the song - ie taking the piss out of Essex lads.

Certainly isn't brain numbing, that's for sure.

I have to agree.

 

[Northstandite]

Gonna write a classic
Gonna write it in an attic
Babe, I'm an addict now
An addict for your love

Adrian Gurvitz, and sung in a boring monotone.

This is still the winner by a long way.

An embarrassing rhyme, and by golly: Gurvitz, his voice and that tune were DULL!

My current 'punch the radio' lyric is:

So let's set the world on fire
We can burn bri-er
Than the sun.

Vanessa Williams : Saving the best til last.

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon.

NO. IT. DOES. NOT.

Bob Dylan- Jokerman:


Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

The killers "Human"

" Are we human? Or are we dancer?"

Risibly pathetic. And to think they used to be a very, very good band.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The killers "Human"

" Are we human? Or are we dancer?"

Risibly pathetic. And to think they used to be a very, very good band.

And those 2 things are definitely not mutually exclusive.

"He was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?" - Sk8er Boi, Avril Lavigne

 

[Blazing Apostle]

ABC That was then.....

Can't complain, musn't grumble
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble
And consequently:
Hearts of oak are charged and blistered
Russians should be baby-sitted
Americans enlisted

 

[LennyD]

Think its Razorlight....

'I met a girl
She asked me my name
I told her what it was'

So moving...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"Guilty feet ain't got no rhythm"

The temptation for a member of the LAPD to ask George to dance shortly after nabbing him for toilet-related misdemeanours must have been somewhat high.

 

[16 bit 44.1]

He looks like Robert De Niro...
He Drives a Mitsubishi Zero....

Billy Bragg...

It might have had hidden depths but the song was so awful that I never took the time to investigate further!

"Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war" - Duran Duran ~ Is There Something I Should Know .... yeah, your lyrics are shit!!

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

I love you like a fat kid loves cake"

Absolutely - perhaps it's so stupid that it is genius. Great lyricist

 

[Norman Potting]

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
somewhere in this town"
Quality lyrics from Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak!

Probably from the jail Phil, I will forgive him that one as he did write some great lyrics ("Black Rose" for example).

My shout at the radio one from recent years is Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind" (although I believe Jay-Z may be the person responsible for the song)
"....big lights will inspire..." is one of many examples of questionable lyrics, I also hate the way that the dj's on Fart FM and the like fawn over it and claim it as a modern classic.

It's not, it's shite.

 

[halbpro]

"Sometimes when I look deep into your eyes I can see your soul."

Just terrible, nauseating stuff as a lyric, although it doesn't sound quite as bad in the song. I dunno quite what it's from, James or something? It's a friend of mine's favourite lyric, and she gets very wound up when I mock her for it.

 

[The Wookiee]

What's she gonna look like with a chimney on her ?
