I can't believe D'yer Mak'er didn't make this list. The lyrics, the vocal portrayal, even the title... it's all bad.
I got about half way down the web page . . . read the lyrics by Prince (formerly . . . whoever) . . .
and felt terribly ill . . . . so I had to stop.
Good post . . . a must read . . . if you have a strong stomach.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.

The whole "Cars" catalogue of silly lyics . I loved the songs but the words made no sense at all .
If I claim to be a wise man , it surely means that I don't know .
i don't know which was worse, the lyrics or the article itself. what a pompous idiot.

I've learned a few things from idiots . . . I've even taken lessons . . . even read the book . . .
"How to be an Idiot for Dummies".

If there are any Doors fans, I apologize in advance for offending (though I like them too), but I gotta tell you, some of their lyrics are really out there.
"... his brain is squirming like a toad..."
George Harrison was, imo, probably one of the greatest, but...
"...let's give some bread, get their stomachs fed..."
Ay Dios mio! :roll:
It is difficult to answer when one does not understand the question.

That's gotto be priceless :p a 100 years later the song sheet might be actioned for a few million, one never knows. I dont know how long i laughed after i read that.
Though another way of lookin at this whole page would be that people like Led Zep and John Lennon are in there as well. We all write things which we are not proud of and these people have gone on to write and compose some of the best songs in history. So moral of the story, even if you suck you can still get better.
there's a lot of difference between an open mind and a hole in the head !
