Worst lyrics of all time - For the music fans who would rather have a piece of toast than see a ghost

[sadbird]

"Turn down the light
Turn down the bed,
Turn down these voices, inside my head"
-I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt

Still not sure what "turn down the bed" means in context, I just think she couldn't think of anything else for that line.

"Turn down the light
Turn down the bed,
Turn down these voices, inside my head"
-I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt

Still not sure what "turn down the bed" means in context, I just think she couldn't think of anything else for that line.

It means basically getting the bed ready for sleeping.

But yeah in context it's pretty weird

Some more candidates.

"Your butt is mine"
-Michael Jackson, "Bad"
No, Michael. MY butt is mine.

"I'm talking pedicures on my toes, toes"
Ke$ha, "TiK ToK"
Yano, I'm actually glad she clarified where she gets those pedicures. 2010 Kesha strikes me as the kind of woman who, if she didn't, would get those pedicures on her eyeballs.

"What rhymes with hug me?"
Robin Thicke, "Blurred Lines"
Rugby?

Kesha stopped making music because she was raped by Dr. Luke. I wish Dr. Luke would rape Bebe Rexha.

 

[Battlecruiser3000ad]

This is the first thing to come to my mind when I hear 'worst lyrics'. Behold, Aryan Terrorism's "Crush the Lies"

Spoiler: where edge and lyrical genius meet

Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the fucking lies

The time has come terminate the unnecessary branches.
Betrayers must die.
Jewish bloodsuckers try to kill our BLACK METAL FIGHT
by selling it like a theatre.
Today they receive our weapons,
the clowns which surround us.

Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the fucking lies

Dimmu Borgir are fucking clowns, gays, venal bitches.
They all sell their asses for a gram of heroin.
Explode the bomb on their gig?

Clowns of cradle of shit are perverts
trading in their defects,
singing with castrated voices of their teenager’s problems.
This is a pornographic clownade burn them fucking alive?

Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the fucking lies

The mother fucking Kovenant is beyond any hatred.
That homosexual bastard Nagash,
We should cut through his ass with a chainsaw.

what a painted mug?
these are the businessmen from Marduk.
panzer division Marduk?
Huh! Motherfuckers division Marduk!

Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the fucking lies

Ihsahn – bald-headed freak from “mystic” Emperor.
Where were all your mystics sold out?
or has it been exchanged for Israel’s citizenship,
were the money all you want?

After them all goes Nergal from Behemoth with a big fucking penis-horn on his forehead,so…he may put it into his asshole, it’s right place…

Death to posers! Continue to fight them! Crush the lies!
Don’t let them fool you.
ONLY TRUE BLACK METAL WAR!

SIEG UND KRIEG!
SIEG UND KRIEG!
SIEG UND KRIEG!
SIEG UND KRIEG!

Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the lies
Crush the fucking...

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, no!

 

[Frank D'arbo]

More picks:

"I ain't even seen her face
But she got beautiful boobies"
-Post Malone, "Spoil My Night"
Yes, that's an actual line. I really wish it wasn't.

"Man, this year I had three hundred one night stands
I keep a pack of Costco rubbers on my nightstand"
-G-Eazy, "No Limit"
Back when I was skinny and twinky, people often told me I looked like G-Eazy and I hated it. And lyrics like this are why.

"I knew that he was different in his sexuality
I went into his parties as a straight minority"
-Rush, "Nobody's Hero"
Neil, please never write about gay parties ever again. Please.

"I am not a robot, I'm not a monkey,
I will not dance, even if the beat is funky"
-Linkin Park, "When They Come For Me"
The best part is how Mike delivers that line.

I got another from GEazy

"I don't like talking to strangers, so get the fuck off me I'm anxious" from 'Me Myself and I'

Didn't he also go down the Logic/MGK route of making cringe rock earlier this year?

 

[Grand_Ole_Ostritch]

The first one reminds me so much of "There were birds and plants and rocks and things" from Horse With No Name.

I think the Kid Rock song is worse because he's rhyming the word "things" with the word "things".

Any Metallica song.

Even "One"? I'm not a Metallica fan myself, but that song has great lyrics, in my useless opinion.

 

[Jeff Boomhauer]

"Me not workin' hard? Yeah right, picture that with a Kodak.
Or better yet, go to Times Square, and take a picture of me with a Kodak!"
- Pitbull - Give Me Everything

"Are we human? Or are we dancer?" (No, that's not a typo.)
- The Killers - Human

"Cause you were Romeo
I was a scarlet letter."
- Taylor Swift - Love Story

"I'm so obsessed,
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest!"
- Train - Hey, Soul Sister

"Just took half a xan, 13 hours 'til I land,
had me out like a light, like a light, like a light..."
- Drake - Sicko Mode

 

[Yuuichirou Kumada]

"Happiness, no more be sad
Happiness, I am glad"
- "Thank You", Led Zeppelin.

The song is beautiful, but good Lord, this part irks me. Maybe it is the redundancy and the emotional way it is sung.

"Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor"
- "Lightning Crashes", Live

Couldn't you find a better way to describe the birth of a child?

 

[Fliddaroonie]

Basically any song written by Avril Lavigne, especially her albums after the first two. There is a person who didn't complete compulsory schooling and fuck me, does it show.

At least she didn't eat it.

"Is it weird that your ass reminds me of a Kanye West song?"
- Jason Derulo - Trumpets

"I'm like bim bam, I know you want some. Chewing on the dick like a piece of bubble gum."
- Yung Joc - I Know You See It

"She blew that dick like a cello."
- Lil Yachty - Peek A Boo (even better when he admitted he fucked up, but then went on to say he was thinking of the instrument Squidward played...the flute.)

"Shoulda known you was trouble from our first kiss,
Had your eyes wide open...Why were they open??"
- Bruno Mars - Grenade

"Having my baby, what a lovely way of saying
That you're in love with me!"
- Paul Anka - (You're) Having My Baby

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

"I WAS BORN FROM A BLOODY WOMB TO A WORLD THAT'S JUST SO FUCKING CRUEL!" - DMSLT by A Pale Horse Named Death

 

[Max Doof]

And no one's brought this classic yet?

"Young ladies, young ladies.
I like them underage see.
Some say that's statutory.
But I say it's MANDATORY!"

And the best part? It was in osmosis jones lmao

 

[Governor Jeb Bush]

"And if the pussy stop breathin', give it CPR"

Thotiana (Cardi B remix)

 

[Goyaanisqatsi]

"Tell your boyfriend if he says he's got beef,
That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him."

This is too obvious to include, right?

 

[McMitch4kf]

Seven Stars by Uriah Heep falls into the exact same issue that Sweet Child O’ Mine did: the kitschy love poem was not enough to fill the entire song. However, instead of being saved by a decent improvisation (“Where so we go now”), the boys in Uriah Heep jut start singing the alphabet.

Song’s pretty good otherwise.

 

[Jeff Boomhauer]

"Tell your boyfriend if he says he's got beef,
That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him."

"Shush girl! Shush your lips! Do the Helen Keller, and talk with your hips!" from the same song. It's one of those things that just kind of fails as a joke.

"Then you watch her leave out the window,
guess that's why they call it window pane."
- Eminem - Love the Way You Lie

"Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on!"
- Charlie Puth and Meghan Trainor - Marvin Gaye

"Abra, abracadabra. I wanna reach out and grab ya.
Abra, abracadabra... Abracadabra."
- Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra

 

[Screamer]

The truth is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt
And all I need to know
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that

-from "You're So Last Summer" vby Taking Back Sunday

Probably cheating by picking an emo band.
