Single worst line of lyrics....

[BigDaddyLH]

For me it's "Right, right, you're bloody well right....you have a bloody right to say..."

The use of the word "bloody" (to me) seems like a clumsy and really dorky way to "shock" listeners. I also cannot stand the way that this chorus in the song interrupts an awesome melodic and rhythmic verse lead-in with plodding dirge and stupid lyric. I just love the song up until this line comes along. As a result, I can't listen to the song.

New thread idear: songs you can't listen to, and why!

 

[Red Ryder]

The smell of your shoes is like a Rose garden for your feet

I wrote that and it's a great line in a great song.

Supertramp are British, and bloody is a pretty benign swear word here. Your maiden aunt might be shocked if you used it over the tea and cucumber sandwiches but no-one else would raise an eyebrow. If they'd been going for shock value there were plenty of other choices. Try the Stones' "Star, Star", for example.

I don't listen to Supertramp either though, but that's because I don't like their stuff

That's the first triplet quartet I've seen.

The woman in the middle carried two distinct personalities.

I thought that was by these guys... View attachment 1054717

I wouldn't want her handling mine

There's this thing called Google...

Although the actual lyrics don't make much sense.

Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

I assume the 'deuce' is the little deuce coop [sic] that the Beach Boys sang about.

That's what Manfred Mann is singing.

The real song goes:

Yeah s/he was blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce
Another runner in the night

I hate the line on a number of levels. You may be right (bloody well right, I guess) and my imagination is adding intent where there isn't any. Still hate it. I don't much like their stuff generally either. Never listen to them.

 

[Robert Booker]

I can see already why I never wanted to become a lyricist.

Well at least we can agree on that

It's a very English term, used to reinforce a point when one is angry.

I hated Supertramp back then. Still do.

"Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting"...

 

[oldunc]

Still trying to decide if "But I'm biding my time, 'Cause that's the kind of guy I'm" (George Gershwin, somewhere in Oklahoma) is the best or worse. While I'm deciding, anything from "Under My Thumb" will do.

 

[Bourbon Burst]

I like Supertramp. I think they are bloody good.

Lou Reed “Hanging Round”

And on her face she wore dentures clamped tightly to her nose.

I don't agree but you got a bloody right to say
