we dreamed of giving everyone
a personal way to grow.

Our dream became reality
and now we're making history.

Bringing smiles to children's faces,
opening doors to brand new places.

Apple II forever and ever,
bringing the rainbow to you.

Forever.

And as the world keeps changing,

bringing them all to you.

Our future keeps on growing and growing,
our colors keep on showing and glowing.

^Beat This

These are easily the worst song lyrics EVER.

Wasabi
She's just like wasabi
Looks like a barbie
Yeah she's too hot for me
She's like a sunami
Can wipe out an army
With a blink of an eye, she can part the red sea
Drives a yellow ferrari
Wears Nike & Amarni
Her jewellery's all Tiffany's
She hangs out with Arni
Sipps champagne in Paris
But all she ever wants, Is to do it with me

Chorus
Wasabi
So damn hot
Yeah my head's gonna blow
Wasabi
She's on eleven
She can go go go

She's organic, Vegan
Eats tofu, no bacon
Every creature's so cute u c
Won't tolerate hate &
No furs & no pagans
Quotes every God, every guru schwarmi
She's wise as Kenobi
Listens to Moby
Every day on her plasma TV
Speaks french and malaysian
Scores 100's and a's 'n
All she ever wants Is to do it with me

Chorus

Flys jets cross the canyon
Sky dives with the band ain't
your average adrenaline freak
Tightropes niagra
Don't need no viagra
Cause all she really wants is to do it with me

Chorus

I'm ashamed that this song made it to No. 1 on the charts here. It's by a guy who came third in Australian Idol last year.
 
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet but what about that horrendous, semi-new song that is pretty much nothing but that guy whining "don't look at me that way it was an honest mistake". God that song makes me want to cut myself.

Those bands can be really obnoxious. I do like that song, however... to each his own I guess.

You'll love this

And I don't think it gets much worse:
Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl

Uh huh, this is my sh*t
All the girls stomp your feet like this

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna to happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

Ooooh ooh, this my sh*t, this my sh*t

I heard that you were talking sh*t
And you didn't think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms downs, getting everybody fired
up

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna to happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

Ooooh ooh, this my sh*t, this my sh*t

So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals,no student-teachers
All the boys want to be the winner, but there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That's right I'm the last one standing, another one bites the
dust

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna to happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

Ooooh ooh, this my sh*t, this my sh*t

Let me hear you say this sh*t is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
(This sh*t is bananas)
(B-A-N-A-N-A-S)

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just gonna to happen like that
Because I ain't no hollaback girl
I ain't no hollaback girl

Ooooh ooh, this my sh*t, this my sh*t
 
The worst I've heard for a while is the first verse of 'Life' by Des'ree. This was a big hit in the UK a few years ago, and has now become notorious for the shoddiness of the lyrics.

I'm afraid of the dark.
Especially when I'm in the park.
When there's no one else around.
Oh I get the shivers.
I don't wanna see a ghost.
It's the sight that I fear most.
I'd rather have a piece of toast.
Watch the evening news.

I'd rather have a piece of toast? :eek:

"Under a Glass Moon" by Dream Theater
They're awesome musicians but man, they've written some awful lyrics


Tell me
Remind me
Chase the water racing from the sky
Always beside me
Taste the memories running from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my dreams
Liquid shadows silence their screams
I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds
Stealing beauty from my eyes

Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear

Beneath a summer sky
Under glass moonlight
Night awaits the lamb's arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her survival

By your hand
I've awakened
Bear this honor in my name

I love that song.....Outside the soundness of your mind....baaaathing your soul in silver tears

Beneath a blackened summer skyyyyyyy.......praying for time to disappppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaar

:cool:

Definitely not bad lyrics, in my opinion. I actually think DT write great lyrics. Just listen to a song like "A Change Of Seasons." GREAT lyrics right there.

Funny. This is one of my favorite songs - lyrics and all.

Just goes to show you how we all have very different tastes when it comes to most things.

My all time least favourite lyrics ever. It's like when a kid's making up a poem. Ghost, ghost, post, most....toast! Yay. That'll do.

No, it won't.

edit: Sorry Kernow, I seem to have lost the ability to read. My apologies. And, er, I agree!

I feel old as these lyrics make sense to me.

Song is over 20 years old. Different time and place I guess.

Going beep-beep-beep down Sesame Street
Toot-toot-toot wear army boots
In your ear with a can of beer
Up your butt with a coconut

You got facial hair like a polar bear
You blow up like a toad and then explode
Your face looks mean like Halloween
You got big red eyes like cherry pies
You got the IQ of a digeridoo
You look insane and got no brain
You got a big fat belly like a bowl full of jelly
Your fat mum Milly looks like Free Willy

and the Marvelous followup single

I saw you walking down the street just the other day
I didn't see your damage from that far away
I should have got a clue when the kids started screaming
You walked up to me with your buck teeth a gleaming
Your hair was all frizzy and your face was a mess
I thought it was a sack but it's your favourite dress
You hurt the trees feelings and the birds all flew
I don't mean to insult you
Oh wait! Yes i do.
Your teeth are yellow, they're covered in mould
You're only fourteen you look a hundred years old
When looks were handed out you were last in line
Your face looks like where the sun don't shine
Did you fall off a building and land on your head
Or did a truck run over your face instead
There ain't no pill cos you ain't ill You're ugly!
U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi you ugly eh! Hey! You ugly x2
What you really need is to wear a mask
And book that plastic surgeon fast - (girl)
You're scary - you're hairy I heard about you
You're the main attraction at the city zoo
You're so fat and ugly with a belly full of flab
When you wear a yellow coat people shout out cab
(so funny)
You got eyes like a pig and your nose is big
And with hair like that you should be wearing a wig
Uncle fester remember him? I never knew that you had a twin
You can't disguise your googly eyes
In the miss ugly pageant you win first prize
Yo mama says you ugly -
You ugly!
U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi you ugly eh! Hey! You ugly x2
Get busy x9
Yo mama says you're ugly
Get busy
Yo mama says you're ugly
Get busy
Yo mama says you're ugly
Get busy you're ugly! U.u.u.u.
Now i feel like blondie
U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi you ugly eh! Hey! You ugly x2 Quasimodo
Camel breath
Squarehead
Ugly! Chicken legs
Pig face
Chin like bubba
Ugly! Fish lips
Toad licker
Poindexter
Ugly! Spaghetti arms
Limp butt
Freak show - ugly! U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi you ugly eh! Hey! You ugly x1
U.G.L.Y - you could make an onion cry
U.G.L.Y - like an alien chased by the F.B.I.
U.G.L.Y x6
U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi you ugly!

Jaffa Cake said:

I feel exactly the same way about it. It was the second song on my list. It did remind me of a song we used to sing in primary school that went something like this:

Mrs White had a fright, in the middle of the night.
Saw a ghost eating toast, halfway up a lamppost.

It then went through all the Mrs *insert colour*.
My favourite was always:

Mrs Brown went to town, with her knickers hanging down :eek: :D
 
Onizuka said:
I don't know who it is (mainly because I don't listen to ****** country music) but one verse goes:

"I've got a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt..."

Whoever sings this: DIE. No, seriously, please just kill yourself for being part of the degradation of Country music, and for writing like a five year old.

Johnny Cash is rolling in his grave...

Ughhh...Tim McGraw. Totally agree with you -- it's crap like that that gives good country music a bad name.

Depends on who is writing them. John Petrucci should just stick to playing guitar...I don't like most of the lyrics he writes. "Taste the memories running from my eyes, Nervous flashlights scan my dreams, Liquid shadows silence their screams" WTF is that supposed to mean?

John Myung writes great songs ("Learning to Live" comes to mind), and Mike Portnoy does as well (yes "A Change of Seasons" is great).

Anyways, not sure if this was mentioned yet, but Kevin Fedderline... er, K-Fed... has a song now called PoPoZow. It's AWFUL. It's so bad that Conan O'Brien did a bit where James Lipton came out and read some of it. Pretty damn funny... here's a link to the Conan Bit... http://www.devilducky.com/media/41218/

It's so bad that that bit covers the first 2 pages of Google results and I can't actually find the lyrics. :p
 
Madonna - I Love New York

I do like this song but the lyrics are just horrible.

Madonna - I Love New York

I don't like cities, but I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London, baby you can keep

Baby you can keep
Baby you can keep
Baby you can keep
Baby you can keep
Baby you can keep
Baby you can keep
Baby you can keep
Baby you can keep

Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad
Except New York
I love New York
I love New York
I love New York

If you don't like my attitude, then you can F-off
Just go to Texas, isn't that where they golf?
New York is not for little ******* who scream
If you can't stand the heat, then get off my street

Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street

Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad
Except New York
I love New York
I love New York
I love New York

Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street
Get off my street

I think it needed saying twice, just to emphasise the point. :D

I remember a Mark Radcliffe show on Radio 1 when they had a worst lyrics competition, and 'Life' won it convincingly. I seem to remember they actually spoke to Des'ree, and she was very good humoured about it.
 
Somebody had to do it

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget, the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you.)


-------------------------------



Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
