Worst lyrics ever.

[Chasm64]

Anything by Foreigner, my band member friends used to laugh at them and say garage band makes good

I cannot believe nobody's mentioned this work of genius:

You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

I say high, you say low
You say why and I say I don't know, oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
(Hello goodbye hello goodbye) Hello hello
(Hello goodbye) I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
(Hello goodbye hello goodbye) Hello hello
(Hello goodbye) I don't know why you say goodbye
(Hello goodbye) I say hello/goodbye

Why why why why why why do you say goodbye goodbye, oh no?

You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

You say yes (I say yes) I say no (But I may mean no)
You say stop (I can stay) and I say go go go (Till it's time to go), oh
Oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello hello

Hela heba helloa
Hela heba helloa, cha cha cha
Hela heba helloa, wooo
Hela heba helloa, hela
Hela heba helloa, cha cha cha
Hela heba helloa, wooo
Hela heba helloa, cha cah cah [fade out]

For reference: MacArthur Park by Richard Harris - Songfacts

• There's not much middle ground on this song, as listeners either love it or hate it. In 1992, when Miami Herald humor columnist Dave Barry asked his readers to send in their pick for the single worst song ever released, the majority chose "MacArthur Park." >>

Forgot about this one.

Lyrics are stupid, but the tune of the song is pretty good.

Maybe the song has some meaning about 2 incompatible people going in opposite directions when one says "hello" and the other says "goodbye," and then vice-versa.

Not sure if that was the intended meaning or if there is another metaphor with these words, or no metaphor at all.

This is Paul doing AABA again, his favorite formula.

John was right. Paul was a great tunesmith, but he often wrote "$hite lyrics."

It's the most unlistenable song in the whole Beatles catalog. I'd rather listen to Wild Honey Pie twice than Hello Goodbye once.

I remember back in the late 60s when WMCA in NYC was still playing top 40 (Murray the K!) they did this thing where they were aiming for the Guinness record for playing the most songs in a day. So they played what seemed like a half hour rotation of like a dozen songs all under 2 minutes. And Wild Honey Pie was one of those.

A reminder of what we're talking about:



But question for Mr. Wonderful... would you rather hear Revolution #9 than Hello Goodbye? Or Within You Without You?

Yes, I would rather listen to Revolution #9 and Within You Without You back to back than even 1 minute of Hello Goodbye, sir.

Now excuse me while I rip the guy who dissed Come Together a new one...

Edit:

And yet both Hello Goodbye and Come Together were #1 hits, so neither of us had the pulse of the zeitgeist of the times.

All things Steve Miller-he probably his a handfull. I mean Big Old Jet Airliner? Come on man.

I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-ass cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing xxxxxxxxxxxx just because he had one or two sorry-ass records out. Quote from MIles Davis

I haven’t read through this thread yet so sorry if this is a repost, but I’ve always loved the complex wordplay by Dr. Dre on ‘Nuthin but a G Thang’…

“Never let me slip, cause if I slip, then I’m slippin’.”

Thank goodness he can make beats (and Beats).

Black Keys regret inducting Steve Miller into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

After Miller’s angry tirade mars ceremony, singer Dan Auerbach tells Rolling Stone ‘the whole process was unpleasant’ and that he and bandmate Patrick Carney left while Texan’s band was still playing

Interesting article about Steve Miller's R&R Hall of Fame induction. Shows what a complete jerk he is

 

[TheChamps990411]

Dont have a song but this reminded me of back in the 90s i was watching a rap battle and one guy said a line so bad that 25 years later i still remember it and the laughing and boos that went through the crowd still fill me with embarrassment. The line was:
"My flows be cold im the snow man abominable
hit you hard in your cerebral abdominal"
What?!!!
btw no it was not me.

Lol Dre was never a rapper nevermind a lyricist. P Diddy was worse though.

This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off of the people's taxes
Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey, you know they got away
They headed down south and they're still running today
Singin' go on take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Oh lord, go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hey, yeah, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Oh lord, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run, oh lord

blasphemy. one of the best rhythms and rhymes, ever. they even made a movie starring that classic with the legendary intro.


here, have another redo posted only a handful of hours ago.
Nuthin But A G Thang 2021 Version! (Prod By AKT Aktion) Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg - YouTube
it just may have the most repeated individual lyrics of any song, ever.
'It's like this and like that and like this and uh'

Nope. (I've seen just about every tour, in whatever configuration plus a couple solos, since 1974.)

Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Man-made terror, hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths, I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue, killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes, baby, they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks, I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams, they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood, even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness, my appetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue underwater walls
Half man, half shark, my jaws don't fall

From Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl...."I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot"
just bad on so many levels....

Bonus pick: Any lyrics by Sheryl Crow....example from Everyday is a Winding Road
"He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone...."
??????? wtf. sorry but she's unlistenable (a word that is probably in one of her songs)
