The 10 Worst Song Lyrics Ever
Blogcritics put out a call to a number of music bloggers requesting their help putting together a list of the
Top 10 Worst Song Lyrics Ever. They asked: "Which song contains the worst lyrics you ever heard." Paul Banks of
Interpol escaped mention, but Stylus magazine
dedicated an entire article to his lyrical travesties. Here is the list. Check out the
article for full commentary:
1. "Your Body is a Wonderland" -
John Mayer ("We got the afternoon / You got this room for two / One thing I've left to do / Discover me / Discovering you")
2. "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" -
Meatloaf ("there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box")
3. "MacArthur Park" -
Donna Summer ("Someone left the cake out in the rain / I don't think that I can take it / 'cause it took so long to bake it / And I'll never have that recipe again... Oh, no!")
4. "Fix You" -
Coldplay ("When you try your best, but you don't succeed / When you get what you want, but not what you need")
5. "Burrito" -
Pete Yorn ("It's a 7-11 / Do you want to take a walk outside / If you want a burrito / You can have another bite of mine")
6. "Cherry Pie" -
Warrant ("Swingin' in there / Cause she wanted me to feed her / So I mixed up the batter / And she licked the beater")
7. "One in a Million" -
Guns `n' Roses ("Radicals and racists /Don't point your finger at me/I'm a small town white boy / Just tryin' to make ends meet / Don't need your religion / Don't watch that much TV / Just makin' my livin', baby ,/ Well that's enough for me")
8. "Muskrat Love" -
Captain & Tennille ("And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed / Singin' and jingin' the jango / Floatin' like the heavens above / It looks like muskrat love")
9. "I Write the Songs" -
Barry Manilow ("I write the songs, I write the songs,")
10. "Candy Shop" -
50 Cent (""I'll break it down for you now, baby it's simple / If you be a nympho, I'll be a nympho / In the hotel or in the back of the rental / On the beach or in the park, it's whatever you into / Got the magic stick, I'm the love doctor ")
