NFT: Lyrics that make you cringe?

ig
Link - ( New Window )

I thought you were linking a song by the real Iggy, and I wanted to find you and punch you.

"I really think you're groovey, lets go out to a movie" Really?

The thing is, nearly all of the Turtles songs were written either stoned, or with tongue implanted deeply in cheek.

No and yes. Just adding to the sucky, childish lyrics spirit of the thread

But "Barbie Girl" and "I'm Too Sexy" are two that jump to mind rife with shyte.

The men in my little girl's life.

rap can degrade all they want, but I would bet a song like She's a Lady would bring an uproar. Just my opinion.

except for a couple numbers, almost every song on the Snakes and Arrows album makes me cringe lyrically. Ditto "Wish Them Well" and "The Garden" on Clockwork Angels.

Blasphemy...if you want to bash Peart, go back to Test for Echo. Dog Years and Virtuality are awful..

this thread suggests about a song, but sometimes listening to those great Steely Dan songs reveal some really dark stuff when interpreted several ways.

"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 the recipe again 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.

that song "Unbelievable" by EMF. mumbles....your unbelievable for very long minutes...hype guys shouting in the background. Total shit.

Is anyone coming up with anything were an actual singer/songwriter shit the bed? The Rush ones are intriguing...

We drunk 'em...got drunk

Macarena in any language (Los del Río & the Bayside Boys)
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!

Hey ktinsc, I'm sure Lennon had someone in mind when he wrote this:
Working Class Hero - ( New Window )

Billy Don't Be a Hero was sung by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.

Paper Lace did The Night Chicago Died.

Inane lyrics, with a rotten performance by Richard Harris.

Say what you wanna say, and let the words fall out. I want to see you be brave. Ugh. This I feel will just open the floodgates for every annoying girlfriend. No! I don't want you to be encouraged to keep talking and "speak your mind"

Mark C is a clown, that's nothing new, but for this question your pick in Folsom Prison Blues? Seriously?

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.

"I used to love her, But I had to kill her."

Depending on how your love life is going, those are either the most cringeworthy or best lyrics ever.

.

But he is popular for the "beef" he got into with LL Cool J. This is the song that he put out to dis LL first... There is one line in particular that is disastrous:

Quote:

Somebody that he gotta know is better than him 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.

I'd go with "If You Seek Amy" by Britney Spears.

Just awful on so many levels. I feel embarrassed that it took me a couple of listens to finally get what she was saying.

started from the bottom now my whole team f***ng here

yeah drake, you and your crew started from the bottom, living in a community that is the rye, NY equivalent in toronto.

Drake is such a fucking vagina

You're going to catch a cold from the ice inside your soul.

Bruno Mars lyrics are pretty gay too. Literally... NTTAWWT.
