Forums >Off the Beaten Path>Dumb song lyrics
This isn't quite dumb song lyrics, but the song Stuck at the Airport was playing when I was shopping at Banana Republic a couple days ago and I was thinking, "This song is so annoying". A few moments later, a couple was joking about it. I think the guys said, "Then LEAVE!" I gave him a "I know, right?" smile.
ETA: I just listened to it again and I think it does count as dumb song lyrics.

IMO, most lyrics aren't that great/deep, etc. All you need is a catchy tune and the lyrics can be forgettable.
Here's a song I can't stand:
Trying to connect the dotsDon't know what to tell my bossThink the city towed my carChandeliers on the floorRipped my favorite party dressWarrant's out for my arrestThink I need a ginger aleThat was such an epic fail

LOL, Amazon had a The Smiths compilation on sale last month. Never having heard them before, and being a big Cure fan, I gave it a shot. That lyric in particular...stood out.
"God guides us on our journey, but careful with those feet." - David Lee Roth, of all people
It's a tie between Train's "Meet Virginia" and Train's "Drops of Jupiter." Terrible, just terrible.
If I go to Hell when I die, Satan is going to be standing at the gate with two tickets to a Train concert. "C'mon, Jason! The concert is about to start, and we don't want to be late!"

Have no clue what these lyrics mean, and it doesn't matter, they sound so cool: Camina Burana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD3VsesSBsw

Okay, read the lyrics and see if you think they're silly. If not, try this version (thanks bhearn, from the Classical Music thread).
Imminent Catastrophe
...And for the worst song lyrics in the history of music, I submit this:
She wrecked the car and she was sadAnd so afraid that I'd be madBut what the heckThough I pretended hard to beGuess you could say she saw through meAnd hugged my neck
From Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey", surely one of the most dreadfully awful songs ever to hit the top 40. It just doesn't get any worse than this.
Then there's Morris Albert's "Feelings". Always the last song at those late 70's high school dances. It's no wonder the world is going to hell.
"Able to function despite imminent catastrophe"
"To obtain the air that angels breathe you must come to Tahoe"--Mark Twain
"The most common question from potential entrants is 'I do not know if I can do this' to which I usually answer, 'that's the whole point'.--Paul Charteris, Tarawera Ultramarathon RD.

There are a lot of bad lyrics out there. The worst I've ever heard was a Queen Latifah song that goes:
"Easy lover is something that I ain't
Besides, I don't know you from a can of paint"
And then there's this song:
"Why do you build me up
Buttercup, baby,
Just to let me down,
And mess me around
And then worst of all,
You never call baby
When you say you will.
But our love is real.
I need you
More than anyone darlin'
So build me up,
Buttercup,
Don't break my heart."
And if anyone listens to Hem, there's this little gem of a line which sounds disgusting, but wasn't intended to:
"Throw my hat up when I meet you,
Find it when you're gone."
Merry Christmas!
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
So he calls me up again and he's like, I still love you
And I'm just like, this, this is exhausting,
You know,
Cuz like we are never getting back together.
Like ever.
Can she shut the heck up? Nobody even likes her.
Plus,
Hey I just met you
and this is crazy
but here's my number
so call me maybe
and all the other boys
try to chase me
(later on)
before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad.
dude, you can't miss someone that you don't know.
I wish I was as young as I look in the forum picture! But I'm not. :(
You know I was
I was wonderin
And you know
If
If you could keep on
Because
The force, it, it's got a lot of power
And
You make me feel like that uh
You, you make me feel like uh
WOOOOO
Night fever, night feve-uh-uh-uh
We know how to do it.

Honestly, the Smiths do not belong in this thread. Both off the above songs are awesome, and if you are going to pick on them, I'm sure there a YWCA lyric you can find which out-dumbs anything in this thread. But we're 25 yrs past strangeways, I'm sure there's much more contemporary fare...
