Worst Lyrics Ever
Some song lyrics touch your heart. Others tell a story or mourn a lost love.
Then there are these lyrics...
Battle of the Boy Bands

- "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by the Backstreet Boys
Am I original?
Yeah
Am I the only one?
Yeah
Am I sexual?
YeahAm I repulsive?
Yeah - "Hangin' Tough" by New Kids on the Block
Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance.
Just get on the floor and do the New Kids dance.
Don't worry 'bout nothing 'cause it won't take long.
We're gonna put you in a trance with a funky song,
'Cause you gotta be
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
We're rough.No, you're not.
- "Pop" by *NSYNC
Sick and tired of hearing
All these people talk about
What's the deal with this pop life
And when is it gonna fade out
The thing you got to realize
What we doing is not a trend
We got the gift of melody
We gonna bring it till the endOr at least until Justin kicks us to the curb.
- "Popcorn" by New Edition
Ah... "P" is for her personality
I said the "O" is for originality
And the other "P" is for the perfect love she gives to me
The "C" is just 'cause she loves me
And the "O" means she's the only love I got
And the "R" and the "N", our love will never endPop-corny
- "Sure" by Take That
Holdin', squeezin', touchin', teasin',
Wantin', wishin', waitin', thinkin',
Of you love, yeah yeah
Blindin', groovin', feel it, move it,
Findin', breathin', bracin', breedin',
With you girlRetchin', runnin', gettin' a restrainin' order
- "I Wanna Sex You Up" by Color Me Badd
'Cause you and I both know tricks are for kids
So get the Don Perignon outta the fridge
I wanna do the first thing that comes to mind
'Cause on a scale of one to ten
No question you're a dime
I'm attracted to ya 'cause you give me love
And sweetheart, Color Me Badd
Is gonna sex you up

You can spell it any way you want. You're still dorkks.
"(You're) Having My Baby" by Paul Anka with Odia Coates
Written by Paul Anka
Yuck.Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin' how much you love me
Havin' my baby
What a lovely way of sayin' what you're thinkin' of me
I can see it, face is glowin'
I can see in your eyes, I'm happy you know it
That you're havin' my baby
You're the woman I love and I love what it's doin' to ya
Havin' my baby
You're a woman in love and I love what's goin' through ya
The need inside you, I see it showin'
Whoa, the seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin'?
Are you happy you know it? That you're
Havin' my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doin' to me
Havin' my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what's goin' through me
Didn't have to keep it
Wouldn't put ya through it
You could have swept it from you life
But you wouldn't do it, no, you wouldn't do it
And you're havin' my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doin' to me
Havin' my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what's goin' through me
Havin' my baby (havin' my baby)
What a lovely way of sayin' how much you love me
Havin' my baby (havin' my baby)
I'm a woman in love and I love what's goin' through me
"(You're) Having My Baby"
Performed by Paul Anka
Dubious Great Lakes Geography by Gordon Lightfoot
from "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"
Lake Huron rolls, Superior singsIn the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams,
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her.
(Don't get me wrong. I like Gord as much as the next girl.)
Misheard Lyrics
"Yellow Ledbetter" by Pearl Jam
"Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz
Written by Lenny Kravitz
I wish that I could flyInto the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas
In all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !
[repeat 437 times]
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Honorable Mentions
Maybe not the worst, but really not good

- "I Am, I Said" by Neil Diamond
"I am," I said
To no one there,
And no one heard at all,
Not even the chair."I hear you, Neil," replied the coffee table.
- "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 425, definitely. Thanks for asking.
- "I Write the Songs" by Barry Manilow
I've been alive forever,
And I wrote the very first song.
I put the words and the melodies together.
I am music, and I write the songs.Barry, this song was written by Bruce Johnston, and you know it.
- "We Built This City" by Starship
Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
We built this city on rock and rollAnd then we polluted it with this crap.
- "MMMBop" by Hanson
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knowsPlant them all. In my ears. Please.
- "Still Fighting It" by Ben Folds
Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt.
You want a Coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95.
It's okay, you don't have to pay,
I've got all the change.Um, ok...
"Supersonic" by Oasis
Written by Noel Gallagher
I need to be myselfI can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your B.M.W ?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine
You need to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow
'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call
You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
She made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue
She needs to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
She needs to find a way for what she wants to say
But before tomorrow
'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call
"MacArthur Park" by Donna Summer
Written by Jimmy Webb
Spring was never waiting for us dearIt ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing chinese checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to make it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo

- The old song " I'm Just Wild About Harry" includes the dreadful lines 'He's sweet just like chocolate candy, and honeysuckle from the bee'. The metre might be right, but honeysuckles are plants. Unlike honey, they don't come from the bee.And if they did, where else would they come from anyway?
And while I'm on to it, there's an irksome line in "Cabaret" too.
'The day she died the neighbours came to snicker...
..that's what you get from too much pills and liquor'
It should of course be too many pills and too much liquor.
But never let correct grammar get in the way of a neat rhyming pattern!

- It should be noted that Paul Anka's song "Having My Baby" has, very briefly, served one useful social purpose. It occurred during a screening of the 1986 remake of "The Fly" staring Jeff Goldblum. According to David Barry, during a pivotal scene somebody in the audience sang out "Having my maggot..."
