Whats your favorite stupid rock song lyrics of all time? I have two.

My 2 votes (since we are near Chicago, you can vote multiple times.)

Neil Young's Mashed Potatoes song, when he went off the farm in the 80's (Got Mashed potatoes x 2, aint got no t-bone x 2.)

and

Black Sabbath War Pigs."Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses"

(Isnt it illegal and or unholy to rhyme a word with that same word?)

What about Pat Benatar's "Hell Is For Children?" "Hell!, Hell is for Hell! Hell is for Hell! Hell is for children." Then there's Journey's "Wheel In The Sky(Keeps On Turnin'):" "I don't know. I don't know. I do-on't know-oh-oh." Deep, eh? WW

Billy Preston has 2 good ones

"nothin from nothin is nothin"

"will it go round in circles, will it fly high up in the sky"
but man he could play the keyboards

>> Deep, eh?

Um... I don't know!

My vote has always gone to America's "Horse With No Name."

I mean: There were plants and birds and rocks and things

it just doesn't get any worse in any genre.

Someone's knockin' at the door,
Somebody's ringin' the bell,
Someone's knockin' at the door,
Somebody's ringin' the bell,
Do me a favor - open the door,
and let em' in,
Oh yea, let em' in.

You're Havin My Baby

Didn't have to keep it
Couldn't put you through it
You could have swept it from your life
But you wouldn't do it
No you wouldn't do it
And you're having my baby

I'll wager no one here has heard what I consider the worst lyrics of all time, courtesy of the fevered pen of Duran Duran's resident poet, Simon Le Bon. I present VENICE DROWNING:

Venice breeding shiny chimeras of sex and violence,
In the purple evening silence, venice dreaming of a partner.
Fill your arms with breasts of marble, from the cradle to the table
Coax this naked treasure, from your saviour.

Come swim into my love
Come swim into my life


Divine blasphemer tempting, holy beads of jism
With a scarlet catechism, her lips will answer
(ah, her lips will answer)

<we'll stop here before sickness ensues...>

Boy. Gonna be hard to pick a winner here.

(I never studied much in English or any other class for that matter, but I never understood that part in Pat Benetar that says, and I quote:)

"Hell, Hell is for Hell"

"For there ain't no one for to give you no pain."

Maybe not the stupidest, considering some of the entries already offered, but among the most puzzling (to me), considering their other prodigious "output" ...

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us.
Why don't we do it in the road?

With gems like that, it's no wonder those boys never made it ... :-)

UFO "rock bottom"
17 and nature's queen-ya know what I mean
21, a lonely one, see the number's run .... great song don't understand the lyrics

Love the Cars, but they have some of the strangest lyrics. Here are a few:

Moving in Stereo: Life's the same, I'm moving in stereo. Life's the same, except for my shoes. Life's the same, you're shaking like tremelo. Life's the same, it's all inside of you. It's easy to blow up your problems. It's so easy to play up your breakdown. It's so easy to fly through a window. It's so easy to fool with the sound. It' so tough to get up.

Gettin' Through: Living outside the misdemeanor. Some get lost, some are screamers. It's easy to tell the great pretenders. Broken wings and flip top fenders.

"Whomp bomp a loo op a womp bam boom!"

Little Richard wrote a song with words too filthy to release on a record, so the producer brought in a lyricist to help him come up with this nonsense. Obviously, a hot song doesn't need lyrics that make sense.

True, true.

Jo

P.S. Who put the bomp?

Here's the weirdest lyrics. Straight from the Dewey Cox Movie-Walk Hard, doing a fine Bob Dylan impression:

Mailboxes drip like lampposts in the twisted birth canal of the coliseum
Rim job fairy teapots mask the temper tantrum
O' say can you see 'em
Stuffed cabbage is the darling of the Laundromat
'N the sorority mascot sat with the lumberjack
Pressing passing stinging half synthetic fabrication of his-- Time
The mouse with the overbite explained how the rabbits were ensnared
'N the skinny scanty sylph trashed the apothecary diplomat
Inside the three-eyed monkey within inches of his toaster oven life


In my mind
I'm half blind
My inner ref
Is mostly deaf
I'm smell impaired
If you cared
My sense of taste is wasted on the phosphorescent orange peels of San Francisco axe-encrusted frenzy


So let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Where the Ro-yal Jelly gets made


Coleratura singers bringing weeds and social clingers
Hangers-on and fancy flingers
To the dress ball
Mushrooms and bowling pins
Stove pipe hats and other things I can't recall
From Juvenile hall
We're so unlucky and stuff
Woodrow Wilson never had it so tough
Dairy Queen and Vaseline and Maybelline
Paul Bunyan and James Dean


Allegory agencies of pre-Raphaelite paganry
And Shenandoah tapestries
Compared with good mahogany
Collapsing the undying postcard romance
With feline perspicacity
By the university
That night I held a paucity
Which you deemed common courtesy
I wasn't what you thought I'd be
I shouldn't have invited you to dance


In my tree
I'm halfway free
And in my chair
One quarter there
In my dream
One-sixteenth cream
In the coffee of the Courtier
Of the sycophant assistant to the king


So let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Let me touch you
Where the Ro----yal Jelly gets made

Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane ..."Here I am, Rock you like a Hurricane"

I always liked this forced rhyme by Uriah Heep in "Stealin'":

Stood on a ridge and
Shunned religion...

That's so bad it's almost good.

That Walk Hard movie was much funnier than we expected, especially the first half. The people responsible for the music and the film clearly know and love the things they're making fun of.

I totally lost it when Royal Jelly played. My favorite from the movie was "Let's Duet" though.

MM

Worst song EVER.

Starship - WE BUILT THIS CITY...WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK n ROLL

A sad day when Mickey Thomas who sang the GREAT Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" My how the great sell out! Kinda like Webb doing "Muskrat Love"

You know Tater, I sorta understand what that song is saying, but what on Gods green earth is a "Wheel in the sky"

The war dept got her records mixed in with mine and I found another: (Its hers. Really it is.)

Just like the white-winged dove
Sings the songs it sounds like she's singing
Oop, baby, oop, baby, oop, baby, oop

Then it really goes to town:
But the sea changes colours...
but the sea...
Does not change

In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all

I went today...
Maybe I will go again...
tomorrow

And the days go by....
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own...
I begin again

(Sounds like my 13 year old got into my goodie cabinet.)

A new suggestion. Anything by Wesley Willis. Or is that schizophrenic genius?

Anything with "Ooo" and "Baby" sung over, and over, and over again...and again...

Y'know, I heard Wesley Willis KICKED Batman's ass !!!!!!

MM

....Or was that Spiderman's ass????

MM

I don't know about Spider-Man, but he DID whup Superman's (__)__)

As well as Batman's, of course.

just don't tug on Superman's Cape.....

As for the Dewey Cox movie... I have yet to get to watch it ... but the guys on the radio have me hooked on one line from the movie. When Dewey meets Elvis - and E tells him "...got 2 things you ought to know - 1) I'm the king of Rock n Roll and 2) Look Out Now !!!! " and does his best karate kick.... well it sounds funny when they tell it on the radio....

There is this very strange group called Lordi which pretty much has nothing bad bad lyrics. Here's a sample from their classic, Blood Red Sandman:

"Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream
No-one leaves... The Monsterican Dream"

Ah, It's like Walt Whitman donned leather and bagan to rock.

Any song by Duran Duran has at least one or two lyrics that make no sense.

*began to rock*

Sorry about the misspelling.

Indeed too many to list but most of these hit it. I totally agree with Webb, I just heard these lame songs on the radio back to back yesterday on my way to the farmers market. I knew not to get in the car!!

Sorry? What was the question again? I got distracted while I was speaking on the pompitus of love.

exactly what is "pompitus" . a hairstyle or am I just confused.

Here, Mr. Yardmaster:
This might help.

I fully understand now....no hair style involved at all...just Maurice, peaches and a lot of tree shaking...gangsters that love and space cowboys...

We cannot leave out Frank Zappa. Here's a couple of lines from "Bald Headed John, King of the Plookers" from Joe's Garage:
Your Pomona is very extinct . . .
Yeah, I studied with the Dong of Tokyo
'N also with the oriental Kato . . .
My body contain uh water
I just loves the way these Copenhagens talks!
Driver, McDoodle . . .
Sausage
Salima
Salami
That looks like that stuff Freckles lets out
Once a mumfth . . .
