A post in another thread got me thinking about the band Men Without Hats and how absolutely awful their lyrics are. This is how they began one of their songs. Yes, it was meant to be serious:
They got the red book, they got the new look
All the little people that are living in China
They got the answers to all the questions
All the little people that are living in China
So let’s all post some terrible lyrics we’ve heard. I’m sure we all have examples.
Here’s another, from Rush’s Roll the Bones:
Jack, relax
Get busy with the facts
No zodiacs or almanacs
No maniacs in polyester slacks
Just the facts
Gonna kick some gluteus max
It’s a parallax, you dig?
You move around
The small gets big, it’s a rig
It’s action, reaction
Random interaction
So who’s afraid
Of a little abstraction?
Can’t get no satisfaction
From the facts?
You better run, homeboy
A fact’s a fact
From Nome to Rome, boy
