Worst rock lyrics

Could we have a down-vote button?

...I seem to have gotten two bands mixed up. My bad, and it certainly deserves a dislike. I still say that lyric was poorly written, though.

Are they the first "poe" band?

Nickelback is, in my opinion, the Donald Trump of Rock - I like a bit of what they put out, dislike the rest, and because of my relatives being part of their die-hard fan base, I have to listen to their music all. The ****ing. Time.

That's the difference between a band I don't care for and a band I can't stand: exposure time.

Sometimes Jim Morrison's lyrics were deep and dark. Other times they just sucked.

There are a number of songs on Waiting For the Sun that only work if you have drank entirely too much....

Heh. Not the best lyric, but I think that at the time, the point was to shock a bit. Bands tended to rely a tad more on inuendo at the time, Stones included. Also, all around pretty good song....and great band.
 
Too many Nickelback songs to list here. But my top choice from the worst rock band of all time is:

"Figured You Out"
I like your pants around your feet
And 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

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress

----
This dude says he likes his girls with "white stains on their dress". Worst writing ever .

Lol dude didn't see your post before I wrote mine about Nickelback. Their best music video is the one where someone in the audience lobs a bottle at Chad Kroeger.

Can I nominate a song that at the same time has both the worst and the best rock lyrics of all time?



And when I have some words
This is the way I'll sing
Through a distortion box
To make them menacing

Yeah, then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
We're gonna need to have a chorus
And this would seem to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face
Yes, I'm gonna have to write a chorus
I’m gonna need to have a chorus
And this would seem to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face

Happy with what you have to be happy with
You have to be happy with what you have
To be happy with what you have
Happy with what you have to be happy with
You have to be happy with what you have
To be happy with what you have
You have to be happy with what you have to happy with

And for a second verse
Of terse economy
I'll brew another pot
Of ambiguity

Then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
We're gonna need to have a chorus
And this would seem to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face
Yes, we're gonna need to have a chorus
I'm gonna have to write a chorus
And this would seem to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face

Happy with what you have to be happy with
You have to be happy with what you have
To be happy with what you have
Happy with what you have to be happy with
You have to be happy with what you have
To be happy with what you have
You have to be happy with what you have to happy with

Then I guess I'll repeat the chorus
We're gonna repeat the chorus
I guess I'll repeat the chorus
We're gonna repeat the chorus
Then I guess I'll repeat the chorus
We're gonna repeat the chorus
I guess I'll repeat the chorus
We're gonna repeat the chorus

Happy with what you have to be happy with
You have to be happy with what you have
To be happy with what you have
Happy with what you have to be happy with
You have to be happy with what you have
To be happy with what you have
You have to be happy with what you have to happy with
 
Everything from Spinal Tap.

Haha, I thought of that too. Chad n Bill must like seeing their handiwork on their women.

Never got how Chad Kroger landed Avril Lavigne, she was pretty hot when they hooked up.

"fishcamp woman", by Unknown Hinson
Fishcamp woman… Lord, I like the way you smell, darlin’…
Fishcamp woman… baby, I like the way you smell…
Well, is it flounder, hushpuppies or slaw you smell like?
I’ll be damned if I can tell
Baby, come and wait my table…
I want you to write down my order with that pencil on your head….
Baby, come and wait my table…
I want you to write down my order with that pencil on your head….
And when you talk just a little bit of trash
And when you turn your face, turn it the hell away, you’re a pretty little thing ……

(Instrumental Riffs)

Fishcamp woman….baby, I like the way you smell, darlin …
Fishcamp woman…. Darlin’ is that Chanel…..?
Well, is it sushi, liquor or doughnuts you smell like?
I’ll be damned if I can’t tell…..
Yeah, Yeah….

(Instrumental finale)

Unknown Hinson's shtick is as a vamped backwater Elvis persona appropriate for "The World's Greatest Country Western Troubadour"
 
The problem with this thread is that you really can't separate the lyrics from the music and expect to get greatness every time. Lyrics are meant to be part of a song, not necessarily looked at separately. The context in which they're intended to be enjoyed is a huge part of what makes them what they are. If you take any one of a number of great poems and drop out the cadence, they sound like crap. Lyrics are the same way...

Especially since the lyrics typically get written last. They have to fit the music.
 
"I didn't go to school. If I went to school, I'd have majored in killing". (Growled in a manner that hilariously failed to be threatening; it was definitely not Weird Al)


No idea where it came from. Long ago, it came on the radio at the university's gym, and I remember it because it was so profoundly stupid that everyone stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, and then shook their heads.
