Single worst line of lyrics....

[effzee]

From memory, might be a little off:

There are 9 million bicycles in Beijing, that's a lot



Ok, she actually says "that's a fact"

 

[effzee]

Almost all this songs are decades old. I guess things have gotten better.

We're all old.

 

[effzee]

"Wrapped up like a douche
When you’re rollin in the night"

I know, I know ....

That's a contender for best misheard lyrics. A top contender. That was bizarre back in the days when it came out. Everyone thought that was the line. I think Manfred Mann might have misheard Bruce and really thought he was singing about feminine hygiene products.

 

[Skyhook]

"So sorry if you please, must learn some Japanese"

That's from Uptown Tokyo from the TV series Pugwall.

 

[AAT65]

“Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimise the cold”

A really klunky and uninteresting line from Genesis’s Domino. Plus (IRL) cotton sheets would do a much better job than nylon ones!
They were so far past their peak at this point, if you hadn’t guessed… obviously Rutherford and Banks didn’t ever have Gabriel’s whimsical poetry but why on Earth Collins agreed to sing this line is a real mystery…

 

[Twang-ineer]

OK... here is one from at least this century, only a bit more than a decade old....

Forgive me OP, but I will quote the entire verse so that the glorious magnitude of the Lyric will be apparent.

Shots shots shots shots shots
Shots shots shots shots shots
Shots shots shots shots shots
Shots, everybody
Shots shots shots shots shots
Shots shots shots shots shots
Shots shots shots shots shots
Shots, everybody

If you don't know the tune, don't bother to look it up. Your life is richer without this .....

 

[Twang Deluxe]

"Glory glory glory somebody touched me
Must have been the hand of the lord".


I don't want to hurt anybodys religious feelings, but it was very odd when they sang this old spiritual in my local church, just a few weeks after the abuse scandal

 

[MisterZ]

Only time will tell if we stand the test of time.

 

[burntfrijoles]

Alright Now - "Let's move before they raise the parking rate"

I always thought he sang “let’s move before they raid the f*****g place”.

 

[kplamann]

I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder

 

[57joonya]

On my list of top two worst songs of all time. And I am a fan.

I think there must have been some substance abuse going on when that song was written though

 

[57joonya]

"In the morning you'll know all you know"
(This song has SO MANY bad lyrics...)

True those lyrics are ridiculous, but that tone is killer ! I think I’m gonna download that on Spotify now…

 

[57joonya]

"In the morning you'll know all you know"
(This song has SO MANY bad lyrics...)

 

[Marc Morfei]

“Come on baby, don’t say maybe”

There is no greater sin in all humanity that rhyming maybe and baby. You know I’m right. Not negotiable. It has been said. Amen

Well there goes half the rock canon.

 

[Marc Morfei]

Almost all this songs are decades old. I guess things have gotten better.

I think none of us here have listened to any music made after 1989.

 

[wacolo]

Well there goes half the rock canon.

I would say Stupid and Cupid are right up there.

 

[wacolo]

I would die for you, climb the highest mountain. Baby there's nothing I wouldn't do"

-Love Will Keep Us Alive

After all of those had been used ad nauseum in countless songs, both good and bad, they had the nerve to leave that line in.

 

[joy-z]

Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball

 

[Peegoo]

"And no one heard at all, not even the chair."

-Neil Diamond, in I Am, I Said

 

[Durtdog]

I like big butts and I cannot lie...
