What are the worst lyrics that you've EVER heard?

[Anonymous]

I agree lyrics usually aren't important to me but sometimes they can be so bad you can't ignore them.

I know.

I love Yngwie Malmsteen - sue me - but I can't help but cringe a bit at some of the lyrics.

And this coming from a guy who doesn't think twice about Manowar lyrics.

But Yngwie isn't the only one, oh no... but what I meant was, people shouldn't let lyrics stop them from listening to good music, but they do.

They'd rather listen to a hack with "deep & meaningful" - usually about love or rebelling against the system - lyrics than a good musician with balls for lyrics. And that's just wrong...

Cheers!

Just to confirm, the actual question really is "What are the worst lyrics you've ever heard, other than those written by Samuel Roy Hagar", correct ??

Ok I'll raise you especially if there is a worst possible taste category.


L.A. Guns - OK, Let's Roll


United Airlines Flight 93
Left 8:01 from gate 17
The victims of a war, they never knew existed
Hell looked them in the eye and still they resisted

Lost brave souls your courage we remember
Sacrificed young lives, Black September
We still hear your battle cry
Are you ready? Ok, let's roll
Are you ready? Ok, let's roll

So began the massacre at twenty thousand feet
Red Devils lead the charge, pulled the captain from his seat
They watched them cut and slash at anyone left standing
We knew deep in our hearts, this plane would not be landing

Never once were they ever in control
Lives were lost but they never took our soul
We still hear your battle cry
Are you ready? Ok, let's roll
Are you ready? Ok, let's roll

Skies of Pennsylvania became a battle ground
Two hundred miles away, the towers had come down
One last chance to say goodbye, he called her on his phone
Said he knew what must be done, "I am not coming home"

Are you ready? Ok, let's roll
Are you ready? Ok, let's roll
Are you ready? Ok, let's roll
Are you ready? Ok, let's roll

Ratt "Heads I win"

Heads I win, tails you lose
I may not be Sherlock
But you ain't got a clue
Heads I win, tails you lose
I may not be a doctor
But you're sick as a flu
Heads I win, tails you lose
I may not be a surgeon
But I'll cut you right through
Heads I win, tails you lose
I may not be a preacher
But it's hell I'll send you to


Holy shit the last line is the icing on the cake!

OMG....never paid too much attention to RATT lyrics, but I think everyone here could take 5 minutes and come up with something better

No one listened to Duran Duran for the lyrics...

I don't listen to them for anything! It was on at work and this gem caught my ear.

Cherry Pie. If it wasn't for mute that fucker would have died instantly (you know damn well you watched the video on mute). If you ever need a reason why that whole pop metal scene had to die I submit that song.

Lyrics are just something to sing along with the music, who cares?

You start giving lyrics too much credit & pretty soon you'll have mediocre "musicians" having insane success because they rage against the system... oh, wait...

And that's why I am able to listen to Manowar & love it. Cheesy lyrics, but excellent music.

Cheers!

Your 10000% right. Despite the horrible lyrics, I always thought that Burn Bitch Burn and Bang Bang You were two kickass KISS tunes. In long run, the cheesiness dosent matter.

Unfuckingbelievable....

Jesus, I was in a bar where I heard the phrase I rarely hear anymore, "last call." After enduring bad rap and shit hip hop, I was rewarded with some fine rock and roll by none other than Van Hagar on the jukebox. "Why can't this be love?" I dunno Sam, maybe it's because you're a cunt and everyone hates you. Did some asshole really play "Mas Tequila" for fuck's sake?!

Why Can't This Be Love isn't even that bad of a song, try Love Walks In

Now THOSE lyrics are pretty bad because they make almost no fucking sense whatsoever. What the fuck does aliens invading earth have to do with love?! And all the chicks in the 80s was like "LOVE WALKS IN IS SUCH A TOUCHING SONG!!"

KISS-I Still Love You
Heart-Alone
Dokken-I'm Alone Again Without You
Motley Crue-Home Sweet Home
Cinderella-Nobody's Fool

Five hard rock love songs that are touching and sad because their lyrics actually MAKE SENSE. Unlike "Some kind of alien waits for an opening and simply pulls a string" WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH LOVE?!

Oh, fuck it.

ManOwaR - KILL WITH POWER

Hear what's written on the wind.
We come to kill and kill again.
Our arrows fall like hail
Trample on the dead. - ride through the
Gate of clouds - stand on the open step.

Run beserk - spreading fear and pain.
Black shield and weapons, black our chain.
None can harm us - not their fire
Iron or steel - for we have the
Will to power - with power we will
Kill.

Kill with power - die die
Kill with power - die die

To the war God Odin you will pray.
And the curse of weapons shall
Remain. on the blood of all our
Fathers - on their weapons we now
Swear to avenge - not lament.
Give the false ones death.

Kill with power - die die
Kill with power - die die

Horrible lyrics, but witness THE POWER of the music itself.

Man, Eric can growl & wail like no other.

Cheers!

Whether he's standing in a leather thong or onstage the bass player always looks really awkward like he's in Quantum Leap and just arrived in that situation...

Oh shit, at first glance I thought those 5 songs you were slamming. Was about to rip you up man. LOL. Some great tunes there.


My submission for worst lyrics - Warrant, Cherry Pie

It's all about Hagar's ET experience.

After his first rectal examination on the alien spaceship there was quite a lot of blood and fecal fluid so they inserted a tampon. The song refers to the moment that they removed it before taking him back down to earth and how much he loved it.

I thought everyone knew that?
