I’ll admit that I’m no Leonard Cohen when it comes to writing prose but I
feel I’m at least worthy enough to judge the latest Chris Brown song
‘Transformer’ as having some of the worst lyrics of all time. It’s as
if they were written by a prepubescent boy who had just come back from
watching Megan Fox running around in her denim hotpants on ‘Revenge of
the Fallen’. “Imma transform ya like a transformer…” “turn you from a
human in to a ca-ar!”
In mock honour of this pathetic attempt at rhetoric I’ve listed some of
my Worst 5 song lyrics of all time! I’m not judging the songs, just the
lyricism.
5. “I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig Ahhh." (Spice Girls – Wannabe)
I really really really wanna blow my self up (after listening to this song)
4. "...scared of a ghost, rather have a piece of toast... keep a rabbit's tail... blah blah blah" ('Des'ree - Life)
Infuriatingly dumb lyrics. By the way, correct me if I'm wrong but
isn't it the rabbit's foot not the tail that's supposed to bring luck?
3. “And there's music playing but I can't hear a sound just the sound of the rain falling silently down” (Cheap Trick's - 'Ghost Town')
What does silent rain sound like?
2. "My humps, my humps my humps my humps my humps my humps (x infinity)" (Black Eyed Peas - I can't recall the name of the song, something about humps)
I hosted a kids karaoke comp once when this song first came out. It seemed that every other 5-10 year old girl wanted to 'sing' this song. 5 year old girls SHOULD NEVER be allowed near anything Fergilicious.
1.“It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife” (Alanis Morrisette – ‘Ironic’)
Every lyric in this song is just plain dumb considering the fact
that there are no ironic examples. This one takes the cake though. Who
the hell has 10,000 spoons and no knife? Maybe a spoon collector but still, how does she butter her bread? With the back of a spoon?
