First things first, I'm not looking to get into a debate about true lyrics meaning and I'm not looking for those nitpicky lyric correctors. We will save that for another day and for a misinterpreted lyrics thread. Moving on, every single time I hear that stupid "Take Me to Church" song at work, an annoying chill rushes up my spine when I hear the " that looks tasty. That looks plenty."...man... that might be the worst thing I've ever heard in a song, and that is saying a lot...or very little
You?
In this ever changing world in which we live in...
Come on, Sir Paul! You can do better than that!
Otherwise, most cringeworthy to me goes to - Paul Anka!
Havin' My Baby
I won't even stoop to posting the lyrics here.
One of the first AC/DC tunes I heard was Shook me all night long. the line of "she told me to come, but I was already there" almost ruined them forever for me.
My friend it hasn't been too long,
it wasn't big."
I don't know who wrote this song,
But you can see his brain is blown,
his grave I'll dig.
They must have really been into LSD when they wrote that one.
What the hell were they on when they wrote "we all live in a yellow submarine"?
I Am the Walrus was purposely written to be inane. Lennon had read about a schoolmaster at his former school giving kids writing assignments to decipher Beatles lyrics. Allegedly, when Lennon finished "Walrus", he said, "let the little fuckers figure that one out!"
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have the recipe again
Oh, No!"
Good Morning Good Morning: taken partially from a TV cereal commerical
Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite: taken almost word for word from an old poster
I Am The Walrus, Everybody's Got Something To Hide, Hey Bulldog, Glass Onion, Dig a Pony, Come Together, Across The Universe, Whats The New Mary Jane (unreleased)...all pretty much just random words and thoughts shoehorned into a song
Please hold off on flaming me as a Beatle hater...I love almost all these songs! I'm just being honest. I really think John just stopped giving a crap about writing really good lyrics after meeting Yoko. The heroin addiction didn't help much either circa the Let It Be sessions.
Listen. Do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell? I'm in love with you
and when I touch you, I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
Although I completely disagree about many of the songs you list. Glass Onion is one of my favorite Beatle tunes. It was written as a companion piece to Alice in Wonderland, where everything is opposite (the walrus was Paul? No, it was John; I told you about the fool on the hill? No Paul told us about the fool on the hill, etc).
And you may be missing the humor in "Everybody's Got Something to Hide". If you look at the "monkey" as a bad habit, or a skeleton in the closet, I find it to be pretty funny.
Well, she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind I like to flaunt and take to dinner
But she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine
Well, she's never in the way
Always something nice to say, and what a blessin'
I can leave her on her own
Knowin' she's OK alone and there's no messin'
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine
Well, she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind I like to flaunt and take to dinner
But she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine
Well, she's never in the way
Always something nice to say, and what a blessin'

Knowin' she's OK alone and there's no messin'
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine
Interesting that you (and many others) think these lyrics would not fly today, yet the rappers can routinely refer to women as bitches, hos, sluts and worse, thoroughly degrading and graphicly shouting how they would use and abuse them, and yet there is no problem or outcry.
OK, class, conjugate the verb "do be."
"Always somethin' greener on the other side of that hill, I was born a wrangler and a rambler and I guess I always will."
Will what?
btw, if Whats The New Mary Jane was released as an offical song on the White Album as originally intended it would've been lumped right in with Revolution 9 as one of their least liked. It sounds like a bad high school demo by a couple of stoned kids.
Enough said. Effin' terrible.
My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
------
Wait, I thought he had a fucking plan. What happened?
And what do the first two verses have to do with anything? My life is brilliant? Yeah, but you're a dim bulb. lol
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
Confused, are you defending Nickelback? lol
I think thats a Kravitz song no?

No and yes. Just adding to the sucky, childish lyrics spirit of the thread
Blasphemy...if you want to bash Peart, go back to Test for Echo. Dog Years and Virtuality are awful..

Oh, No!"
we agree on that and what is weird is that the music has some nice harmonic stuff going in it and then those whacko lyrics are laid over it. Maybe they could not figure how to create a vocal line over it.
Wildfire - Michael Martin Murphy
Poker Face - Lady Gaga (appropriately she named herself after the hideous lyrics below)
Daddy Don't You walk So Fast - Wayne Newton
Billy Don't Be a Hero - Paper Lace
Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks
Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band
More Fool Me - Genesis (on Selling England By the Pound)
The entire song isn't bad, but Queen's
All we hear is
Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
sucks!

Paper Lace did The Night Chicago Died.
Thanks Greg, I see you're still incapable of encountering an opinion you don't share without resorting to name calling. You're as self-assured as ever... But as to the OP, the question was what lyrics make you cringe. I love the song; just find that line a little cringe-worthy.
Depending on how your love life is going, those are either the most cringeworthy or best lyrics ever.
but he feelin himself, cause he's got more cheddar than him
Well let me tell you somethin, you might got more cash then me
But you ain't got the skills to eat a ni***'s ass like me
It just blows my mind that's in there hahaha.
Just awful on so many levels. I feel embarrassed that it took me a couple of listens to finally get what she was saying.
yeah drake, you and your crew started from the bottom, living in a community that is the rye, NY equivalent in toronto.
Bruno Mars lyrics are pretty gay too. Literally... NTTAWWT.
