Hey, Ya Know What?

Yer so bad...

I thought in homage to VH1's Awesomely Bad Songs series, I'd post my thought on some really, TRULY, bad lyrics. You, the one's where you are like, 'what does that mean', or 'dude, what were you thinking?', or even 'Wow'.

Lionel Richie - Truly - "Cause I'm truly, truly in love with you girl"

As opposed to what? Dishonestly in love with her? Either you are in love or not, right? This one was on Awesomely Bad Love Songs, but here is something they kinda missed.

Train - Drops of Jupiter - "Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken Your best friend always stickin' up for you even when I know you're wrong"

Ok, nice sentiments I guess, but come on. Was he in the studio goin', man, I need something to rhyme with stickin'. I know! Deep Fried Chicken!

Creed - Any Song But I am picking 'One' - Whole song

Yay! Creed, that bastion of the Civil Rights Movement. Come on...

The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian - Whole song

Whuh? What does that mean? Why do I want to walk like an Egyptian? Is this like the ergonimically correct way to walk? Do Egyptians walk that differently than say, the Irish?

Nickelback - Someday - "Now the story's played out like this Just like a paperback novel"

How stinkin' pathetic is this? The next line talks about rewriting an ending that fits. Why? I mean, if your relationships are like paperback novels, then just give this one up. I'm a guy. I know what happened. I think Chad Kroeger just thought, "man, it would totally rock if I could work paperback novel into a song."

John Lennon - Imagine - "Imagine no possessions"

Hypocrite. :-)

Paul McCartney - My Love - "And When The Cupboards Bare, I'll Still Find Something There With My Love"

I got John, now it's Sir Paul's turn. Ok, is the cupboard bare or not. What are you gonna find with your love? A dead roach? Some spilled flour? Man, that is romatic stuff.

  • Dude, don't crack on John and Paul...well maybe paul but not John. I agreed with everything you said until then.

  • But it's true. He didn't give up his posessions, yet, wrote that lyric.

  • I'll give ya this, he did say Imagine. And true to the word, the things he was imagining would never ever happen, on a wide scale anyway. But hey, the post was to be funny...

  • No, it's not ok to crack on Paul. "Remember the Super Bowl" is now my version of "Remember the Alamo". haha...no seriously...Paul must have been on some good stuff when he was in Wings. But c'mon, even Paul was allowed a stinker of a lyric every once in a while.
