Next: Great Songs With Crummy Lyrics

  1. “What’s Your Name,” Lynyrd Skynyrd

A great horn-driven rock and roll song…in the service of unironically gleeful lyrics about anonymous groupie sex.

Great Songs With Crummy Lyrics

  1. “What’s Your Name,” Lynyrd Skynyrd
  2. “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” - Elton John

Actually, quite a lot of songs by Elton John - one of the reasons I consider him a great songwriter is that he created so many great songs from Taupin’s awful lyrics - but “howling old owl in the woods” earned this one a place on the list.

Where do I start? “There were plants and birds and rocks and things.” “The heat was hot and the ground was dry.” And after 9 days, you think he could have given the fucking horse a name.

About BÖC’s Don’t Fear the Reaper, a great song with a memorable opening guitar riff that repeats throughout, but, Valentine is done? Romeo and Juliet are gone? 40,000 people everyday redefine happiness? Say what?

A cool tune, and the lyrics are pretty good, right up to the very end when it says,

All I want to do
Oh I really want to f*** you

Yeah I get it, what young and dumb guy hasn’t seen someone hot and thought that? But, crass.
