Songs with god-awful lyrics.

[lightningandsnow]

My vote is for pretty much anything Shania Twain has ever written.

I thought this stuff was clever...when I was 10 years old.

Exhibit A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3GTPAJX96o

[Richardo]

1. Attach the link to stevemillerband.com

Thread over.

[Glorfindel]

20. Yes, you are EXACTLY right.

n/t

[blondeatlast]

73. Oh, yes. nt

[LynneSin]

91. You do not understand Steve Miller Band

Seriously - just one concert and you'll realize the beauty that is his music. And yes, Abracadbra sucks - but the rest of it is utterly sublime to the ears. The concerts are my favorite!

Let's put it this way - I've seen Steve Miller Band in concert more times than Robert Plant

[Steely_Dan]

2. American Pie n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

5. Hey Nineteen

just messing with you :headbang:

[jmm]

3. Worst song on the radio now-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha80ZaecGkQ

Of course no bad music thread is complete without-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9VzEulip9Q

I've repeatedly asked for hazard pay at work for having to deal with people who like songs like those.

[lightningandsnow]

4. "Got it going on like Donkey Kong"

lolwut.

You work with people who LIKE songs like this? What the hell is your job? :rofl:

[MiddleFingerMom]

6. That "Badonkadonk" one...

.
... reminded me of the time my ex-wife and I were walking along and,
coming from the other direction, was a woman who may have had the
most impressive-looking breasts in all history (not HUGE -- you had
to be there -- not even I remember why... all I remember is that we
were both HUMBLED by the experience).
.
We were both silenced. A good 5-count or more after we had all passed
by each other, my ex broke the silence with a reverent, awestruck,
"NICE... ... ... TITS."
.
Without missing a beat, I answered, "Damn straight."
.
That's all we ever said about it.
.
It's all that ever NEEDED to be said about it.

[kayakjohnny]

7. This one would do it for me....

Beatles ... Run For Your Life


I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or I won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl.
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind,
And I can't spend my whole life tryin',
Just to make you toe the line.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl.
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
Let this be a sermon,
I mean everything I said,
Baby, I'm determined,
And I'd rather see you dead.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl.
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.
I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl,
Or you won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
Hide your head in the sand, little girl.
Catch you with another man,
That's the end - ah, little girl.

[MadBadger]

8. LFO Obviously takes the cake...though I like them anyway

New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese Food Makes me Sick
And I think its fly when girls stop by for the summer, for the Summer


Its like Adam Sandler writing lyrics, except these people probably took themselves seriously

[blue_onyx]

27. LFO was horrible

I think they have to be the worst boy band ever.

[Initech]

9. This:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siv1JByAoaA

[lightningandsnow]

11. Thanks for killing any maternal instinct I may have had.

:rofl:

[Initech]

14. Kevin & Bean (the local LA morning DJs) had a 3-part "is he fucking kidding?" segment on this song.

That bit is absolutely hilarious. You can get the podcast of it on iTunes (December 8th, 9th and 10th) - definitely worth listening to.

[jmm]

13. I can't believe I forgot about R. "most overrated musician ever" Kelly when I saw this thread.

He has a couple of good songs but for every one of them he's got a bunch like these-


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf4yHgXdjPY (The whole song is bad but the last minute is so awful it's unintentionally hilarious)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv4TpHm0NPI

[Initech]

15. Dave Chappelle and South Park had great R. Kelly parodies

Love the "South Park: Trapped In The Closet" episode. :rofl:

[rcrush]

67. My favorite part of that episode

Stan staring at the camera after outing the Scientologists. "GO AHEAD SUE ME THEN! I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU! GO AHEAD AND SUE ME!" :rofl:

[Initech]

68. And then cue the credits with everyone's name changed to John Smith.

:rofl:

[rcrush]

69. I'll Sue you in ENGLAND!

:rofl:

[Mad_Dem_X]

18. Sweet Baby Jesus.

:wow:

[LibraLiz1973]

34. What the fucking fuck?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Initech]

35. Like I said - the morning DJs here in LA did a "is he fucking kidding" segment, it is hilarious.

They just totally trash the lyrics on this song, it's awesome and well-worth seeking out. :rofl:

[MattBaggins]

47. WOW just fricking WOW

R Kelly actually made something stupider than "stuck in a closet"?

[Fire Walk With Me]

72. A roommate has the RKelley "Chocolate Factory" CD on Repeat...

...and there's a song to all the mothers and women, apologizing for our being not so very understanding and supportive...and then comes the line, "ladies, when it's your time of the month, and you don't want to be bothered..." All in a smooth, ballad-style seduction...

There is no "finger down the throat" emoticon at teh DU. Imagine one here.

[Throd]

58. That's just...damn I can't...fuck...I'm speechless.

[Initech]

65. Is it safe to say I win the thread?

:rofl:

[GoCubsGo]

60. "You're Having My Baby" by Paul Anka

Ick. Just ick.

[Blue_In_AK]

92. Oh, my goodness.

That is wrong on so many levels.

[Blue-Jay]

10. Surfin' Bird?

[amyrose2712]

52. NO!! DON'T!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPttLty0TXk

Sorry I couldn't help it.

[abq e streeter]

55. Love it--but I guess that's just the intellectual in me

[Initech]

56. I've found one crazier than Surfin' Bird:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydpelid3vbU

[abq e streeter]

62. The poet in me will always be partial to Surfin' Bird, but this one's right up there

[amyrose2712]

88. That brings back horrid John Waters flashbacks.

[Doc_Technical]

12. King Crimson- "Indoor Games"

Indoor fireworks amuse your kitchen staff
Dusting plastic garlic plants
They snigger in the draught
When you ride through the parlour
Wearing nothing but your armour-
Playing Indoor Games.

One string puppet shows amuse
Your sycophantic friends
Who cheer your rancid recipes
In fear they might offend,
Whilst you loaf on your sofa
Sporting falsies and a toga-
Playing Indoor Games, Indoor Games.

Your mean teetotum spins arouse your seventh wife
Who pats her sixty little skins
And reinsures your life,
Whilst you sulk in your sauna
'Cos you lost your jigsaw corner-
Playing Indoor Games, Indoor Games.

Each afternoon you train baboons to sing
Or swim in purple perspex water wings.
Come Saturday jump hopper, chelsea brigade,
High bender-trender it's all Indoor Games.

No ball bagatelle incites
Your children to conspire,
They slide across your frying pan
And fertilize your fire;
Still you and Jones go madder
Broken bones-broken ladder-
Hey Ho . .

[EvolveOrConvolve]

16. "Every Breath You Take" by Sting/The Police

A song about stalking that is truly creepy if you read the lyrics.

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/police/every+breath+you+take_20110051.html

[BlueIris]

23. Quintessential stalker song. nt

[EvolveOrConvolve]

31. Yep - and a lot of people think it's a love song

Not even close, unless you count a stalker's love for his victim.

[BlueIris]

32. Just like people think "Wuthering Heights" is a (tragic) love story.

Blech. Listen to the words, crazies. No love in them.

[Mad_Dem_X]

17. Wow. That was terrible. n/t

[Juche]

19. Anything by Das EFX

[BlueIris]

21. Nickleback's "Photograph."

One of those songs that makes me want to rip my ears off.

[lazarus]

22. America - Horse With No Name

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

[Terra Alta]

61. When I hear that song, I always say

"Just name the damn horse already!"

[Enrique]

24. 'Cold as Ice' by Foreigner

aka "Rhymes with ice"

You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love

You never take advice
Someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before, it happens all the time
(Oooh-oooh) You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
You're digging for gold, you're throwing away
(Aaah-aaah) A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay

You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love

You want paradise (ooh they mixed it up a little here :thumbsup:)
But someday you'll pay the price, I know

[PhD]

42. How can anyone not like Foreigner?

[PhD]

43. What Would You Say by Dave Matthews Band

What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my life line
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say

I've never understood this group's popularity.

[av8rdave]

76. Instrumentally they are awesome..great live show

Some of the lyrics, I'll grant you...

[XemaSab]

25. Anything by Prodigy

x(

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

26. Onward Christian Soldiers

[SoxFan]

28. Nickelback-"Figured You Out"

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

Now that's fuckin' art, folks!

[cbdo2007]

29. Kings of Leon - Sex Is On Fire

Love this song.....love it...


Hate the lyrics. They just sound really really stupid. Sorry.

[unpossibles]

30. "Lonely is the night"

"When you find yourself alone"

yeah, no sh*t, Sherlock.

[Jade Fox]

33. Macarthur Park....

Jimmy Webb wrote some great songs (with great lyrics), but Macarthur Park is as bad as it gets IMO.

http://www.metrolyrics.com/macarthur-park-lyrics-richard-harris.html

[bluesbassman]

36. Captain and Tennille Muskrat Love

I so want some of whatever they were smoking! :rofl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgCk3bnvO5Y
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

La da da da da ...

[abq e streeter]

64. I saw the guy that wrote it, Willis Alan Ramsey, in a New Mexico roadhouse many years ago

and yeah, he did this one....but he was such an engaging and likable performer, that it was impossible not to like even this one. It came off as just cute'n clever and unpretentious. It was a real open and friendly mountain hippie kind of place, and I don't particularly remember, but I suppose it's not inconceivable that we DID have some of what he was smoking....Or vice versa...:smoke: :hippie:

[Urban Prairie]

38. I have loved listening to a lot of songs by The Who over the years

But this one is just bad, bad, bad!!

I won't bother to post a youtube link to the song, as most people have heard this one.



Happy Jack

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy


Blech.....:P

[Sebastian Doyle]

39. Anything by Sammy Hagar/Van Hagar/Montrose/Chickenshit/etc

Sammy Hagar is the worst lyricist to ever walk this earth. And a Repuke besides.

Here's one from the 70's...

OW!
I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
All I really know is, I don't need no breeze
Hangin' religon around my back, be a science-fiction feeling of fact
I don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
I got two fine cars, a house and a job
And by the time I'm 35, I'll be a fat slob
I don't care about 1985, cause if I ain't dead, you know I'll be half alive
I don't care about 1985,
C'mon, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Go on, get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
Get it while you can, just like a 20th century man
You'll be a 20th, century man
A 20th, century man
I'm a 20th century man
(Yeah!)
(phone ringing)
Aw Shit
Hey, get outta there!
Watch it!
(scream)
Hey, shut the door man, what's the matter with ya?
Ah, don't know what I want, I can't get no peace
Cause I'm a
20th, century man
Just a 20th, century man
I'm a 20th, century man
Be a 20th, century man
Get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
no
Go on
Get it while you can, there ain't much left to take
You got ta
Get it while you can, just like a 20th century man
Go, on be a
20th, century man
I'm a
20th, century man
Just a
20th, century man
I'm a
20th, century man
Just a
OW!

44. What Would You Say by Dave Matthews Band

46. I have to go with Steve Miller. I like his band live - very tight unit, but his words

are just dumb, dumb, dumb, shit except for a very few songs.

I like his guitar playing, and his band, but he has a poor sense of language for writing songs.

He was a literature major in college and learned guitar from his godfather, Les Paul.

48. Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle

Classic example of s sickeningly sweet love song.


Yeah Yeah I still love it though.

[blue neen]

49. "I Am I Said" by Neil Diamond

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the CHAIR
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still"

I didn't know that chairs have ears. :shrug:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

50. REO effing SPEEDWAGON, "Can't Fight This Feeling."

Note to Kevin Cronin: YES, you can rhyme. Congratulations. You forgot "Zsa Zsa Gabor"...that rhymes with door, floor, shore and more too.

:eyes:

I can't fight this feeling any longer.
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.

I tell myself that I can't hold OUT forever.
I said there is no reason for my fear.
Cause I feel so secure when we're together.
You give my life direction,
You make everything so clear.

And even as I WANDER,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever THOUGHT I MIGHT.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you.
I've been running round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl,
Cause you take me to the places,
That alone I'd never find.

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the wind,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

51. "Love Street" by The Doors

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

I see you live on Love Street
There's this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

[nomorenomore08]

71. I can't imagine Morrison singing that with a straight face. And "Tell All the People" is even worse.

[amyrose2712]

82. HA! I had just listened to this song like 5 min before reading this , and said...I love Jim.

[bif]

53. Anything by Jason Mraz

God he writes the worst tripe imaginable.

[bamacrat]

83. Yes and he is about the only person whinier than Dave Matthews.

If you just made up sounds in the place of Mraz words the songs sound better. Shouby doubie doo bop. Kinda like Sinatra, when in doubt shoubie doowop.

[chrisa]

54. HuffPo had an article like this before.

They had some pretty awful ones. Some of them had lyrics thrown in just to fit the rhyme. I remember one was like "Billy Shakesphere wrote alot of good sonnets," or something like that - in a rap song!

If I remember correctly, somebody wrote a song about Sarah Palin, or something like that, on You Tube, and it was one of the worst things I've ever seen (not even because of politics. The lyrics were just really out of sync and tempo, and it was horrible).

[Sabriel]

57. Seasons in the Sun

We had joy, we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun,
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.


We had joy, we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach

Urk.

[GoCubsGo]

59. What a godawful song that is.

It ranks right up there with "The Last Kiss", "Run, Joey Run", and all those other schlocky death songs.

[Beer Snob-50]

94. Last Kiss is awesome

especially Pearl Jams version. the ramones did a knock off of it called 7-11

I hugged and kissed and i said good bye
last thing i knew she wouldn't make it alive
on coming car rushed out of control
it took my baby and it took my soul

[amyrose2712]

89. How darest thou! That's pure blasphemy!

That was one of my very favorite 45s when I was about 5. That and Wildfire. Always been a little morbid I suppose.

[Terra Alta]

63. Escape(Pina Colada Song)

It's really cheesy. Guy is bored with his girlfriend, so he responds to a personal ad he reads in the paper. They make plans to meet and it turns out to be his girlfriend and they discover things they didn't know about each other. I mean really, how often does this happen in real life?

[Divameow77]

66. Cause I'd get 1000 hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs

Wouldn't that be 10,000 hugs then?

[bluesbassman]

78. Actually, 10,000,000.

Give or take. :)

[pokerfan]

70. Afternoon Delight

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might
try nibbling a little afternoon delight
Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

[av8rdave]

75. Anything by KC and the Sunshine Band

With this gem being the winner:

AahEverybody, get on the floor, let's dance!

77. Heart: "All I Want to Do is Make Love to You."

It was a rainy night when
he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella,
no coat
So I pulled up along side and
I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile
so we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name,
this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right,
is this love at first sight

All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will
You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel,
it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night.
Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me,
so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all
I left him was a note
I told him
"I am the flower you are the seed"
We walked in the garden
we planted a tree
Don't try to find me,
please don't you dare
Just live in my memory,
you'll always be there

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day,
we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise
when he saw his own eyes
I said "please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can"

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

It honestly sounds like something an 11 year old wrote while bored in class. The rhyme scheme is just simple and...bleech.

I think this is unbelievable this comes from the same band that gave us "Barracuda" and "Magic Man."

[Sebastian Doyle]

87. 80's Heart was terrible

It was their equivalent of Van Hagar. And that tequila swilling moron even wrote some of their songs of that era. Maybe even that one.

Even Ann & Nancy admit now that they are embarrassed by their "corporate rock" phase.

[Blue_Tires]

79. any number of R Kelly's "adultery ballads" could make the list...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

85. Jackson Browne, The Load Out

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet--
But I can hear the sound
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that's a sound they'll never know

Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and get'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still want to play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano

But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came

Now we got country and western on the bus
R an B, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
We got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play

People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait
Or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know you can't go wrong
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play -- just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song--
Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, say you will
Say you will

________________________________________________________________________________

I think the song itself is well intentioned, but the lyrics just stink. I guess he wrote it as a tribute to his roadies, or is it his band? I just don't know. The song just meanders for minutes upon minutes until even Browne gives up and just launches into a cover of "Stay".

[HughBeaumont]

90. Nearly 90 posts and NOTHING about the kings of bad lyrics, KISS?

Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die

Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes
Feel the magic
There's something that drives me wild
And tonight, we're gonna make it all come true
'Cause girl, you were made for me
And girl, I was made for you
I was made for lovin' you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can give it all to you, baby
Can you give it all to me

Get up
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up
Old Jim is workin' hard this year
Baby
Do the things I says to do

Baby, if you're feeling good
Baby, if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce

You've got something about you
You've got something I need
Daughter of Aphrodite
Hear my words and take heed
I was born on Olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by the demons (she laughs)
Trained to reign as the one

God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
(studio girl)
What? - I can't, I don't wanna do it too loud

You need my love baby, oh so bad
You're not the only one I've ever had
And you say you wanna set me free
Don't you know you'll be in misery
You know why

They call me
(Dr. Love)
They call me Dr. Love
(Calling Dr. Love)
I am your doctor of love
(Dr. Love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of

Plaster caster, grab a hold of me faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her
And my love is the plaster
And yeah, she's the collector
She wants me all the time to inject her


I'm the king of the night time world
And you're my headlight queen
I'm the king of the night time world
Come live your secret dream, alright

WHAT GEMS!! :rofl: :rofl:
