Donna Summer. "I Feel Love". Worst. . .Song. . .Ever.

No. A true dancefloor and groundbreaking classic. Morooooder. :)

Lyrics don't count for much in dance music.
 
I'm a little flea...

"I'm a little flea, I love the birds and the bees.

I'm a teeny tiny, little ant... checking out this and that."

It was a nice try Flea but perhaps sticking with bass might be a better idea:)

Actually it was quite a nice little tune:p
 
How could the thread have gone on this long without someone mentioning Rupert Holmes' Escape (the Pina Colada song)?
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
This is at least a tie with MacArthur Park (which IJ mentioned early on).
 
No Spice Girls?

Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really

If you want my future forget my past,
If you wanna get with me better make it fast,

So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is.

What do you think about that now you know how I feel,
Say you can handle my love are you for real,
I won't be hasty, I'll give you a try
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye.

Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig ha.

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is.

So here's a story from A to Z, you wanna get with me
you gotta listen carefully,
We got Em in the place who likes it in your face,
we got G like MC who likes it on an
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady,
and as for me..ah you'll see,
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around.

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is.

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta, you gotta, you
gotta,
you gotta, you gotta, slam, slam, slam, slam
Slam your body down and wind it all around.
Slam your body down and wind it all around.
Slam your body down and wind it all around.
Slam your body down zigazig ah
If you wanna be my lover.
 
"It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all, it's a small world..."

Has anyone mentioned this song yet? The only song that actually made me consider ending it all...:D
 
Manfred man - Blinded By The Light

Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer
with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped
the merry-go-round
With the stereo pleasin' and sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed
to the ground

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what
it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the
song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts to see
if it was safe outside
And little Early-birdy came by in his curly-wurly and asked me
if I needed a ride

Some brimstone baritone Andy Sack from rolling stone preacher
from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone,
reminding him of romance

three verses of it!!!!
 
"We were at the Beach."
"Everybody had, matching towels..."

Rock Lobster - Most pointless lyrics...


Also on the list: The Final Countdown:

This song actually gets me quite pumped, but the lyrics don't make much sense... Here's to the most awesomly bad song ever. :cool:

We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again
It's the final countdown...
The final countdown
Ooh oh
 
Ill second the Madonna "I love New York" lyrics.

But the all time worst rhyme has to go to Black Sabbath-

"Generals gathered in their masses...
Just like witches at black masses."

THEY FRIKEN RHYMED "MASSES" WITH "MASSES"??!!

GENIUS!:eek:

Pop music..the dumping ground of bad poets.
 
Read it and weep, coffinstuffers!
So many kinds, where can we start?
we like them dumb and we like them smart.
I like the ones with the pretty eyes,
Well i like all kinds of guys.
Stop. What happened, how about the ones we especially like?
Which ones?
You know the ones with the cars that go..
I hear you..
Hit it!

{beat...............}
It was me and the posse with Bunny (D)
We were cruising in the Jags and the Lambourgini,
When low and behold there appeared a mirage,
He was hooking up a car in his daddy's garage.
We stopped short, did a double take,
He was looking so fly, I thought I wasn't awake.
He was obviously hooking up bass, I asume,
But then he turned a little button and the car went boom.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom,
We're Tigra and Bunny and we like the boom.
We like the cars, the cars that go boom.
We're Tigra and Bunny and we like the boom.


We like them short, and we like them tall,
We like them one, and we like them all.
They're always adding speakers when they find the room,
Cuz they know we like the guys with the cars that go boom.
And see my boyfriend really knows where it's at,
He's got 50 inch woofers all along the back.
He makes a comment on going to my room,
But I'd rather stay out with his car that goes boom.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom,
We're Tigra and Bunny and we like the boom.
We like the cars, the cars that go boom.
We're Tigra and Bunny and we like the boom.

Now if your car ain't got it, go out and get it,
We like the boom and don't you forget it.
So turn down the treble, and flaunt your bass,
So your car can be heard almost any place.
Cuz when you're in the street you can't go far,
Without hearing the boom pouring out your car.
So if your speaker's weak, then please turn it off,
Coz we like the cars that sound so tough.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom,
We're Tigra and Bunny and we like the boom.
We like the cars, the cars that go boom.
We're Tigra and Bunny and we like the boom.

Everybody just beep your horn
Everybody just beep your horn if you hear us,
Now clap!
Hit it!
Beep, beep beep beep beep!
Come on everybody!
Hey, hey hey hey hey!
Beep, beep beep beep beep!
{beat continues......}

You win. :eek:

Although some of Le Tigre's are pretty, uhh, nonsensical. Don't worry about it too much though, its fun to dance to and was played at just about every party in SC I went to. :)

Who took the bomp?

Every day and night,
Every day and night,
I can see your disco disco dick is sucking my heart out of my mind.
I'm outta time; I'm outta ****in time.
I'm a gasoline gut with a vaseline mind, but
Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?
Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme.
One! Two! Three! Four!
You got what you been asking for.
You're so policy free and you're fantasy wheels and everything you think
and everything you feel is alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

I take you home, now watch me get you hot.
You're just a parrot when you're screaming and you're shouting,
"More crackers please, more crackers please."
You want what you want but you don't wanna be on your knees.
Who does your... who does your hair?

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?

How are you?
Fine, thank you.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.

You bought a new van the first year of your band.
You're cool and I hardly wanna say "not" because I'm so bored
that I'll be entertained even by a stupid, ****ing linoneum floor, linoleum floor.
Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor.
I'll walk on it.
I'll walk all over you.
Walk on it, walk on it, walk on. One, Two!

Who? Who? Who? Who?

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?

See you later!
See you later.
See you later!
See you later;)

Agree'd
 
Hmm I'm bored so I'll put up another candidate. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet.

yo vip let's kick it
ice ice baby (x2)
all right stop collaborate and listen
ice is back with my brand new invention
something grabs a hold of me tightly
flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
will it ever stop yo i don't know
turn off the lights and i'll glow
to the extreme i rock a mic like a vandal
light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
dance go rush to the speaker that booms
i'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
deadly when i play a dope melody
anything less than the best is a felony
love it or leave it you better gain weight
you better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
if there was a problem yo i'll solve it
check out the hook while my dj revolves it

chorus
ice ice baby vanillla (x4)

now that the party is jumping
with the bass kicked in and the vegas are pumpin'
quick to the point to the point no faking
i'm cooking mc's like a pound of bacon
burning them if you ain't quick and nimble
i go crazy when i hear a cymbal
and a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
i'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
rollin' in my 5.0
with my rag-top down so my hair can blow
the girlies on standby waving just to say hi
did you stop no i just drove by
kept on pursuing to the next stop
i busted a left and i'm heading to the next block
the block was dead
yo so i continued to a1a beachfront avenue
girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
rockman lovers driving lamborghinis
jealous 'cause i'm out getting mine
shay with a guage and vanilla with a nine
ready for the chumps on the wall
the chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight balls
gunshots rang out like a bell
i grabbed my nine all i heard were shells
falling on the concrete real fast
jumped in my car slammed on the gas
bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
i'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
police on the scene you know what i mean
they passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
if there was a problem yo i'll solve it
check out the hook while my dj revolves it

repeat chorus

take heed 'cause i'm a lyrical poet
miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
my town that created all the bass sound
enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'cause my style's like a chemical spill
feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
conducted and formed
this is a hell of a concept
we make it hype and you want to step with this
shay plays on the fade slice like a ninja
cut like a razor blade so fast other djs say damn
if my rhyme was a drug i'd sell it by the gram
keep my composure when it's time to get loose
magnetized by the mic while i kick my juice
if there was a problem yo i'll solve it
check out the hook while shay revolves it

ice ice baby vanilla
ice ice baby (oh-oh) vanilla
ice ice baby vanilla
ice ice baby vanilla ice
yo man let's get out of here
word to your mother
ice ice baby too cold
ice ice baby too cold too cold (x2)
ice ice baby
 
McArthur Park hands down.

"...MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
and 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, no!"
 
Surely my eyes deceive me... 4 pages of crap lyrics and no one's yet mentioned The Streets???

Every line's a corker!!!

So when i looked at you standing there with your hoard,
I was waiting in the queue looking at the board
Wondering whether to have a Burger or chips
Or what the shrapnel in my back pocket could afford
When i noticed out the corner of my eye
Looking toward my direction
Your eyes locked on my course
I couldnt concentrate on what i wanted to order,
Which lost me my place in the queue i waited for YEAH

The man's a bottomless well of bollocks.

Yes it is.

Here's an example of disco gone wrong:

[dd=Donald Duck voice]
[bs=background singers]
[ep=Elvis voice]

Went to a party the other night
All the ladies were treating me right
Moving my feet to the disco beat
How in the world could I keep my seat

All of a sudden I began to change
I was on the dance floor acting strange
Flapping my arms I began to cluck
Look at me..
I'm the disco duck

[dd] Ah, get down, mama
I've got to have me a woman, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[dd] Got to have me a woman
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[dd] Oh, get down, mama
[bs] Try your luck, don't be a cluck, disco
[dd] Disco
[bs] Disco
[dd] Disco
[bs] Disco
[dd+bs] Disco
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[dd] All right
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[dd] Ah, get down mama,
Oh mama, shake your tail feather, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

When the music stopped I returned to my seat
But there's no stoppin' a duck and his beat
So I got back up to try my luck
Why look

[dd] Everybody's doin' the
[dd+bs] Disco, disco duck
[dd+bs] Disco, disco duck
[bs] Try your luck
[dd] Wave to me
[bs] Don't be a cluck
[dd] Disco
[bs] Disco
[dd] Disco
[bs] Disco
[dd+bs] Disco
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[dd] My, oh my
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[dd] Ah, get down mama, ha, ha, ha, ha
[bs] Try your luck, don't be a cluck
[dd] Disco
[bs] Disco
[dd] Disco
[bs] Disco
[dd+bs] Disco
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[bs] Disco
[bs] Disco, disco duck
[bs] Try your luck, don't be a cluck
[ep] Thank you duck
[bs] Disco
[ep] For gettin' down
[bs] Disco disco disco
[ep] Thank you so very much
[bs] Disco duck
[dd] You're welcome
[bs] Disco Disco Duck
[bs] Try your luck, don't be a cluck
Disco, disco, disco
 
BTW^^^ Disco Duck is a Rick Dees classic!! And should not be on this thread!:eek:

"Pitch the baby" Cocteau Twins (Just about any song by this band could be on this list)

Here, too, have to have been to care for ya'
Only no-one to love missed his friend
Pitch the baby should be their murmur
Slip me home as we seal us in
You and that land which one dresh(?) are leaving
Hold me onto a mess a plenty
Me and that land should grow, end to a hard part
Meant a Christmas that's me and a friend
I only want to love you
I only want to love you
(x2)

Here, too, have to have been to care for me
I only want to love you
(x2)

I'm heart, and in space the plane
On fill our hearts' ascension(inside you)
It's heft driven since the urge
To sell the place isn't very, very, very big
(x2)

I'm heart, and in space the plane
On fill our hearts' ascension
(I only want to love you)
It's heft driven since the urge
To sell the place isn't very, very, very big
(x2)

We were revisiting some blast from the past 90s pop in the studio today, and came across this little gem from Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap :)o).

I'm serious as cancer,
when I say rhythm is a dancer.

Er, yeah.
