Single worst line of lyrics....

[Bourbon Burst]

Domo arigato mister roboto…

I remember when it came out and they interviewed one of the members of Styx. They said that sound was the future of music. I was thinking that the future looked bleak.

 

[Bendyha]

If I were a miller and a mill wheel grinding, would you miss your colored blouse and your soft shoes shining?

 

[Bourbon Burst]

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

Well played my friend. Well played...

 

[hepular]

My boy Lollipop
He makes my heart go giddy-up

izznt at "my boy's lollipop"??

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

1. They're both mountains. It's not a simile.
2. Cramming that lyric into a F#/A/F#/G# bar is quite a feat. That doesn't really work.

Honestly though, finding 'worst lyrics' is like shooting fish in a barrel.

For years I thought it was "...rises like an Empress above the Serengeti" Actually I kind of like that better.

 

[radtz]

that's mine too - kilimanjaro is way bigger than mount olympus.
size fail.
ffs.

For only 9 words, it is amazing how many things are wrong with it. I always pcitured Toto saying "it needs more Africa words" then the response was......

uh, yes. it IS a simile. But what's being aligned is the symbolic significance of each peak.

(& yea you also CAN extensively compare apples and oranges )

I saw an interview with singer/writer David Paich in which he stated he was reading a bunch of National Geographic magazines at the time.

We are never ever ever getting back together

 

[hepular]

tie between any line of "We didn't start the fire" or

"With the news there's something every day"

 

[jwsamuel]

"You can't find the door. You can't find it anywhere."

Duh...If you can't find something, you can't find it anywhere. If it was somewhere, you could find it, right?

 

[M2roadwarrior]

I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot
Who uses “moot” in a song, what the..

 

[jwsamuel]

"Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?"

The only worse word would be prerogative ... oh, dear ...

Taylor Swift? If not should be.

Taylor Swift? If not should be.

It's her!

If you compare a thing with a similar sort of thing it's not a simile. Saying a mountain looks like another mountain ain't simile. Sorry.

And symbolism? I don't think so

Err no, not really
