I don't know if it's the most ridiculous but this one goes a long way

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feelings got no rythm

Its from careless whisper by George Michael, me and my friend got hernia we laughed so hard when we first heard it... (well we were drunk... [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Can anyone top that?

'Wave your hands in the air, like you just don't care'

That is truly one of the worst I have ever heard - and the terrible thing is, so many artists/groups use it in their songs, it is probably the most overused phrase of all time. Whenever I hear it I first slap my forehead, then turn the offending piece of audio equipment off [img]smile.gif[/img]

"Whoa-ma lilly wha-wha bibby bobba wue-law oh yeah" Joe Walsh begining of "Meadows" or "Stonewall"

That annoying song 'doo wah diddy, diddy dum diddy doo' is pretty annoying and stupid.

Hate Ann Lee's song two times: "two times "garbled noises" (So bad I won't postit here)...

Control, by Puddle of Mudd
I thought it was pretty damn good till I started listening closely to the lyrics.."I love the way you spank my ass"
:eek: [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]
Eeaaughh..

Oh and everything in the Bloodhound Gang's Three Point One Four is stupid. But funny. And so is Afroman's But I got High..

I don't think anything beats pretty much the whole of OK Computer by Radiohead. Sections of which are:

Would you please stop the noise I'm trying to get some rest,
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head,
What's that? WHAT'S THAT??!!

Later on it has:

Karma Police, arrest this man,
He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge,
He's like a detuned radio oh,

Or possibly "Life in a Glasshouse" on Amnesiac:

Once again, we are hungry for a lynching,
Packed like frozen food and battery heads,
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones,
But I repeat myself,
Well of course I'd like to stick around and chat,
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat,

Radiohead truly are the band for weird indecipherable lyrics.

I hate that song too. It's totally stupid!

Jorath, not that I should know this, or am proud of it, but the line is "guilty feet have got no rhythm."

It's still stupid, but makes a little more sense, no?

I have to agree, that song sucks! First time I heard it I cliked it right off, still do.
How about Def Leopard- I'm hot, sticky, and sweet, from my head down to my feet.....Make me GAG

Oh, gawd... a friend of mine played a load of stuff he found on Napster a while ago, including a gangsta rap about, of all things, Chewbacca of Star Wars fame. Can't remember it all, but the Chorus still sticks in my mind as the most inspiredly absurd piece of music ever...

'I am CHEWBACCA!
I am a WOOKIE!
I fix the ROBOTS!
I fight the EMPIRE!
Don't you ANNOY ME!
I'm EIGHT FEET TALL!
I'll rip your ARMS OFF!
I'll kill your FRIENDS!'

How about:You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals,
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery channel?

These "great" lyrics were written by the Bloodhound-gang.
Quite funny the first time,but after that......

Pretty much any song aired on MTV since about 1998

Hey come on! Those are brilliant lyrics. In character, playing around with unusual similes and making biting social commentary.

The "what's that" line is superb! Very funny and dramatically relevent to the character.

Many hail Radiohead as one of the most groundbreaking acts around Barry.

I think the old quote "taste is the enemy of art" is mightily approriate here.

That said.......If we're going to have a go at lyrics let's look at "Don't tell my heart, my achey breaky heart." ;) :D

any lyrics by slipknot / limp bizkit / linkin' park (damn stop yer whining about yer fakish emotions) and hiphop / r&b lyrics too....

oh and much black/death metal lyrics too, but i love listening to them [img]smile.gif[/img] , but deicide's and satyricon's lyrics rule!...

Ricky Martin with my ex-military grandfather in the car was rather classic.

Eh... Worst lyrics would probably be O-Town's "Every Six Seconds". That song is downright embarassing. Those boys should get through puberty before thinking of serious singing careers. :D

I remember an Aussie band that had song with the chorus:
You s--- me to tears
just give me a break
am I making it clear?
for f---s sake
for f---s sake....

It was played regularly on the government sponsored youth radio network JJJ.

You got me all wrong guvnor'!! I am an absolutely massive Radiohead fan!

I actually like their lyrics, I have quoted lines from Paranoid Android in the war forum here before now. On HADB my signature is a line from In a Glasshouse. The problem is that, like a few other bands e.g. Counting Crows, Eels, REM, unless you are prepared to put in the time to really listen to their lyrics many of theri songs are completely incomprehensible. They are the kings of weirdness (note the question wasn't asking for bad lyrics per se, just seemingly ridiculous ones. I don't know why the two are so often confused).

Just a clue that I actually did like them - the lyrics for Life in a Glasshouse have never been published. I have listened to the song quite a lot in order to be able to write out the lyrics in confidence. It's not like Thom Yorke enunciates clearly these days...

Fair enough bro. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Fantastic song from Fat Les

Where on earth are you from
We're from England
Where you come from
Do you put the kettle on?

Kick it.

Nah nah nah
nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah

Bonjour monseur

[more nah nah's]

We're England
We're going to score one more than you....
England!

Can I introduce you please, to a lump of cheddar cheese?
Knit one
Pearl one
Drop one
Curl one
Kick it!

[chorus. No song should have this many freaking catchy 'nah nah's']

Me and me mum and me dad and me gran
Are off to Waterloo
Me and me mum and me dad and me gran
With a bucket of vindaloo

Bucket!

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

A true classic!

It strikes me that in the post Monty Python age a new conotation (sp?) is held within the word for many. And no, I don't mean that Radiohead are simply talking nonsense for the comedy, but often it helps to make a point if you make it in the straightest way possible. For Thom Yorke this inevitably involves lines that at first seem to have no meaning, but on closer insepection are often bitingly satirical or deeply moving. Trust me, I am with you on this one ;) . Do you listen to the Eels or Counting Crows much? I think they owe a lot to Radiohead at times, especially lyrically.

It et-ho like hello, Oh but that thing I SO wish I didn't know that!!
The most ridiculous lyric must be "who put the bop in the bop die shop die bop" didn't they see the first Bop in their (Real bad joke I know.
Anyway moving on the real most ridiculous lyric is "Hit me with your rymth stick das ist good Ich liebe dick."

Fellow Aussies! You should remember THIS ONE!!!!
I heard it a DREAM once.... ;)

I don't remember who did it. It goes something like this

I am the hound,
I smell like I sound,
I'm on the hunt,
I'm after you.

I would say anything by the Bloodhound Gang.

Or Staind. Thats right, STAIND. Why do I say Staind?

Well it gets a bit riduclous when you come out with the same song 5 times.

Or Slayer for the same reasons as Staind.

When did Slayer ever come out with the same song 5 times?

Bloodhound gang are trying to be ridiculous for sake of "comedy" (I know... hard to belief...). By the way they are the greatest band in the world when you are drinking and reach a certain stage... [img]smile.gif[/img] Ever tried cruising around town with a couple of friends blasting "Fire water burn" trough the stereo... oh the humanity...

:D

Any 5 songs they sing ;)

Well I wil tell you I havent heard much of slayer, but waht I ahve heard is all the same, IMO.

You're talking to an avid Slayer-fan here, so tread carefully. ;)

I will admit though, that they use the same themes a lot, both musically and lyrics-wise. I wouldn't say it's all the same, on the contrary, there's a lot of difference between their songs and albums. But I can see that it could seem that way if you don't have 'feeling' with their music.

And to add my two cents to the real topic of this thread, I'd say the lyrics to any song by Manowar are pretty ridiculous. They're the masters of clichéd heavy metal lyrics. And that's no mean achievement, cause they have a lot of competition.

[ 01-29-2002: Message edited by: J'aran ]</p>

I wouldn't call it ridiculous but oh well...

"I'm the king of the castle
you're the dirty rascal"

hehe from Dave Matthews band, the song, "Crash Into Me" [img]smile.gif[/img]

What the heck is wrong with Staind? I LOVE that band! There are FAR stupider lyrics than that.
And Crash into Me has tonnes of funny lyrics I agree (but I still love the song)
Hike up your skirt a little more
You show your world to me

My friend, the Witch Doctor, he told me what to do.
And he said:
Oooo, eeeee, oooo ah ah
Ting tang walla walla bing bang
Oooo eeeee oooo ah ah
Ting tang walla walla bing bang!

Though there's a lot to be said as well for Spike Milligan's I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas. :D
