Worst Pop Lyric of all Time

[JudyS Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close JudyS]

Whoever compiled that list clearly has no idea off what true dreck really is. All of those examples must humble and bow when compared with:

Yummy, yummy, yummy.
I've got love in my tummy.

I really liked those "bubblegum" songs when I was a kid. I've recently learned, though, that the lyrics to "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" in fact refer to a very adult activity.

Of course, for shear annoyance, it's hard to beat Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney singing The doggone girl is mine. The only good part is when MJ declares, I love you endlessly to the girl, but it sounds like he's telling Paul, I love you and Leslie.

Please...have mercy.

I'm still debating....

Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks

or

Muskrat Love - The Captain and Tenille.

Both are sure pukers.

I can come up with more if asked but those are DEFINATELY in my top 10.

Ok I have finally decided. Gotta be Muskrat Love:

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny

Oh SAVE me and how many times did they subject us to this on top 40 radio?

I think I will start another thread about most depressing songs of all time...

ETA That "Midnight at the Oasis" was another real groaner, flip the channel type of song.

The worst thing about Muskrat Love is not the godawful lyrics, but the sickening little muskrat noises.

I had pretty much forgotten about Musrat Love until I read your post, Lawren. Thanks a heap.

I think that a thread of "earworm" songs is in order. you know - the ones you just cant get out of your head once you hear them. My nominee would be "Wasn't me" by Shaggy. Absolutely detestable lyrics, but so catchy I find it stays for days.

"You're havin' my baby...
What a lovely way to say how much you love me."

Need I say more?

Right song but the worst line...

Didn't have to keep it
Wouldn't put ya through it
You could have swept it from your life
But you wouldn't do it
No, you wouldn't do it

Too much information....

Oh, I don't know. This one sparks a right-to-life debate for the baby. The other one sparks a right-to-life debate for the SINGER.

DO IT!

I know I have things lodge in my head for days but never heard the term "earworm song".
Try the banana splits song. YouTube - Banana Splits - The Ultimate Intro!

One banana
Two Banana
Three Banana Four.
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.

na,na,na
na, na, na, na.....

Here's just a small sampling of the absolutely worst song of all time. Can you guess the title of the song and the "artist"?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So your girlfriend throws a Honda
Playin workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt

And the answer is....

A different list than we might have thought....

The BBC 6 Music Taxing Lyrical Top 10

1. Des'ree - Life

I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news

2. Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer

I'm as serious as cancer
When I say rhythm is a dancer

3. Razorlight - Somewhere Else

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

4. ABC - That Was Then But This Is Now

More sacrifices than an Aztec priest
Standing here straining at that leash
All fall down
Can't complain, mustn't grumble
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble

5. U2 - Elevation

I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
High and high in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

6. Toto - Africa

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

7. Oasis - Champagne Supernova

Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you when we were getting high?

8. Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know?

And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war

9. Human League - The Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide

10. Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses.

"Baby Got Back" but don't know the artist.

Carol only you could smack the muskrats so hard that they are now moles.

My anaconda....oh where is my puking smiley when I need it most? <FA perhaps?>

I beg to differ... Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot belongs on the list of "best lyrics of all time"
