I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy!

I LIKE this song!

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.

That was one of the big jokes when I was in high school. Nearly brought the house down when a garage band played it at one of my high school talent shows. "Louie, Louie" got rejected by the HS admin, but "Yummy Yummy" got through.

Sam but what is YOUR choice for worst ever?

Oops, I forgot to sign the last one. -Mike

I can't tell you how many times I've really gotten into listening to a song, without having a real clue as to most of what was being said. If it's got an infectious beat, who cares!

I believe that if you open up the category to Country and Western, C&W will take the top 10 spots.

Such as:
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Mike you caught me before I edited.

CW has to be another category/thread altogether with classics like:

Lyrics for Song: Did I Shave My Legs For This

Flowers and wine is what I thought I would find
When I came home from working tonight
Well now here I stand, over this frying pan
And you want a cold one again

I bought these new heels, did my nails
Had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress was a sure bet
For romance tonight
Well it's perfectly clear, between the TV and beer
I won't get so much as a kiss
As I head for the door I turn around to be sure
Did I shave my legs for this

Now when we first met you promised we'd get
A house on a hill with a pool
Well this trailer stays wet and we're swimmin' in debt
And now you want me to go back to school

I bought these new heels, did my nails
Had my hair done just right
I thought this new dress was a sure bet
For romance tonight
Well it's perfectly clear, between the TV and beer
I won't get so much as a kiss
As I head for the door I turn around to be sure
Did I shave my legs for this?

Darlin' did I shave my legs for this?

And who can forget "Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through the Goal Posts of Life"?

Oh, I don't know about that. C&W would face some strong competition from hiphop (rap):

What you gon' do with all that ass?
All that ass inside them jeans?
I'm a make, make, make, make you scream
Make you scream, make you scream.
Cos of my hump (ha), my hump, my hump, my hump (what).
My hump, my hump, my hump (ha), my lovely lady lumps (Check it out)

I can't believe that no one had posted that one yet! (And after Fergie & the Black Eyed Peas had been mentioned here already, even.) Maybe no one wants to admit that they've heard that song?

"Dead skunk in the middle of the road".

But maybe that doesn't count because that was deliberately bad. We probably should limit contributions to writers who were actually trying to write a decent song.

Thank you all for making me smile. Dark days here...................

The all time worst lyrics in a song goes to my old favorite, Screaming Jay Hawkins and the "Constipation Blues", a real song with national airtime play back in the late '60s.
And no, I will not print the lyrics.

His album "Voodoo Blues" is one of a kind.

I still like his ode to stalkers..........."I don't care if you don't want me, I'm yours"...............

Geez, Beags - I was so close to putting up some Screamin' Jay myself, but there aren't any sites that had the best of his "bad" lyrics, and I don't feel like transcribing.

Every one of his albums is one of a kind. "Somethin' Funny Goin' On' has such classics as "You Make Me Sick" - complete with sound effects and his odes to Amy Fisher.

Wasn't Screamin' Jay the one with like 75 children from a gazillion different mothers?

Oh, yes, he was. Here we are, I knew I had read this when he died.

All Things Considered, January 1, 2001 · Blues Musician Screamin' Jay Hawkins was an eccentric man. He wore outlandish outfits, claimed to practice voodoo and carried a skull named Henry on stage with him at every gig he played. But when his close friend and official biographer, Maral Nigolian, learned that Jay Hawkins had 57 children, she was shocked. After his death last February, Nigolian decided to look for the children of Screamin' Jay Hawkins to bring them together for a reunion. As independent producer Alix Spiegel reports, what seemed like a small simple idea, turned into a full-time occupation. The Website Nigolian posted drew thousands of responses, most from people who hoped to be connected to the man, some from people who actually were. The oldest of what soon became perhaps 75 children, Suki Lee Anne Hawkins remembers mostly her father's absences. She never knew he had any other children. Another child, Debra Roe, was 23-years-old before she learned that Screamin' Jay Hawkins was her father. This summer, Nigolian brought together these two women and some of the other 33 Hawkins children she has identified. It was a kind if practice for a bigger reunion she is planning for March. And it was rough. No one could believe Screamin' Jay had fathered so many.

ok, now you've got me looking for the Amy Fisher songs...

If I posted the lyrics it would have to be in the Steam Room.

I doubt that you will find them on-line. There are three of them on the "Somethin' Funny Goin' On" album, about 16 bars long each. They're not listed in the discography but inserted between tracks.

I have a hard time imagining any woman having the slightest interest in Hawkins if she had actually listened to his lyrics.

Now here's a deep lyric that made millions!

Someone's knocking at the door
Somebody's ringin the bell
Someone'e knockin at the door
Somebody's ringin the bell

Do me a favor
Open the door, and let em in.
