“Western Union,” originally recorded by The Five Americans, a Texas band. Subsequently covered by the British group The Searchers.
Well, I was hoping that Aha would stroll in and find it before anyone else did

I think this song was actually just a joke. They weren’t seriously trying to write a song. I can just see the record producers…“Alright, guys, where are the REAL lyrics?”
Except the Pope, maybe, in Rome. With the exception of one guy, the Pope, who lives in Rome. Possibly. Yeah that’s English.

Well I guess the idea is if God became human he would develop petty concerns about who likes him and who calls him, like we all have. He’d be human.
Ummm, and isn’t the question of God coming to Earth in the guise of a human the whole crux (pardon the pun) of Christianity?
Sorry, I think those are fairly good lyrics.
From the Backstreet Boys appropriately entitled song: “Show Me the Meaning”:
“Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There’s no control
Are you with me now?”
MY LOVE FOR YOU IS TICKING CLOCK. BERZERKER!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY COCK? BERZERKER!
Now while they aren’t actually in a real song, they are some of the worst lyrics I have ever heard.
I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but “Who let the dogs out” gets my vote.
If it has been mentioned already, I second it.
Thank you. Y’know, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person on the face of the earth who heard it that way.
Based on a cursory websearch ‘we’ is the proper lyric (or at least a common enough error to get into all of the first 20 Google hits) but an implied ‘are’ is, while completely informal, not exactly uncommon. And this isn’t exactly a university essay, is it?
I always took it to mean:
I was born a rambler and a gambler
And I guess I always will ramble and gamble
But I agree that it’s not very clear.
I used to wish that I had misheard the lyrics to this, but as I remember it, the lyrics to a TERRIBLE rap song by a TERRIBLE group called IAM included the following lines:
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
never ate ham, never gave a damn
Never ate ham, never gave a damn?? Ok, so you don’t agree with your own kosher lifestyle (the most logical explanation I can come up with) but why sing about it? And this is a repetitive, chourus-type verse. This song drove me insane. HOW did this band ever get signed??
Anyone remember Leo Sayers and “When I Need You”?
Have you ever heard the theory that this song is about masturbation?
"When I need you, I just close my eyes and I’m with you…
“And all that I so want to give you is only a heartbeat away…” not to mention all over the sheets
“It’s cold out but hold out and do like I do…” well maybe not in the exact same way
“When I need love, I hold out my hand and I touch love.” ahem
Did anyone bever see him perform this live on stage?
Muskrat Love
Then, from The Muppet Movie:
Never before have two souls joined so freely or so fast
for me, this is the first time and the last…
Our love was meant to touch the stars,
but then we touched and made it ours
and would they take it back?
No, they wouldn’t dare.
Why would they take it back
when there’s enough to share with all the world
and fill the heavens above
with left-over love…
Miss Piggy singing to Kermit
I have come to the conclusion that the Tragically Hip are either stoned while writing lyrics, or they’re just deep beyond my cognitive capabilities. (I like 'em either way.) But in “The Bastard,” there’s a line about “so much for us purple Italians” (which sounds like “so much for our smurfing italians,” actually, but according to the liner notes it’s “purple”). Does anybody understand that?
Leann Rimes, “I Need You” (chorus):
I need you like [sunlight? summer?], like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy from Heaven’s Gate
There’s a freedom in your arms that carries me through
I need you
Every time I hear this song, I think Heaven’s Gate, the SUICIDE CULT, which would mean ‘mercy from Heaven’s Gate’ would be a euphemism for DEATH… I need you like poisoned koolaid!!!
I also hate all the new Faith Hill songs. Glurge!
Let’s make love
All night long
Until all our strength is gone…
Havok…any Kevin Smith reference makes me happy.
Kevin himself wrote that.
But you forgot the “soon we will be making fuck” part
If you get the Clerks soundtrack Love Among Freaks did a version of Berserker.
Awwww…c’mon. You can’t judge a “pass the mic” song by its chorus! You have to judge it by the verses!
Two words: Allanis Morisette. Total bad high school poetry shallow angry girl bullshit. And take that harmonica away from her!

I think this song was actually just a joke. They weren’t seriously trying to write a song. I can just see the record producers…“Alright, guys, where are the REAL lyrics?”
Awwwww… come on! That song had some of the best lyrics to come out of popular music at that time
“Well here’s another one (WHAT!)
In the gutter one (WHAT!)
Getting running up
Troblesome extra double double I come to feed them
The feed em then I shreed em
So what if that I’m cheating.
Now everyone wanna sound (YA) grimey (yeah)
I’m gonna show you how come on (ALL AND TOGETHER NOW!)
Yeaah, ohh yeaah!
YEAH!
That’s how we gotta be
so stop trying to beat loud as me cause you can’t do that
Think about the payoffer so left with an automatic rifle
For last against the lighting last bullets first
On Line
Toughest step and a rep and a run rep and a run wreck and a swine
Peace to the brothers on Riker’s Isle
Pumping up a tremple and didn’t like his
criminal lickin’ buck my eye,
Oh my god I’m so high
Just they say a Rodney say you like a criminum, what!?
Just they say to make get
Making milliangh, children SLAM! Slam!”
Brilliant to their very core!!
I will, however submit for you some very bad lyrics from the Big Tymers
“Verse 3 (Manny and Baby together)
I…like…loud pipes
Big…rims…mo ice
V-twelves…or better
No…itch…strictly leather
Playstation…DVD’s
Don’t worry about yo bitch
She comin wit’ me
Leavin stickers on the Bentley
To show the price
Arm out the windows
Just to floss my ice
Fresh…wait hold up
Thats that bitch…we fucked
Nigga…what yo bank bout
Dog i’ve been…lost count
Pop that Crist’… pop that Mo’
Slam that bitch…punch that hoe
What the fuck…hold on
Everybody get yo motherfuckin roll on”
There are unfortunately many of these so called “hip-hop groups” making a very bad name for all of the hard working and talented MCs
I think the Everly Brothers said it all in “Ebony Eyes”
“I’ll never kiss those lips again
They buried you today”
Ps Biggirl’ I think the line “what’s she going to look like with a chimney on her”, refers to a black eye.
That really IS bad. Really really bad. This makes me happy that I haven’t taken the time to familiarize myself with the boy-bands trend. Thank you, PunditLisa. I no longer have the nagging feeling that I might be missing something good.
Definitely one of the following two songs. I’m not sure if you all know the first one since the group is Dutch (although I think that they made it quite big around the world as well, you start to wonder why though), so the second is almost just as bad:
No Limits - by Two Unlimited:
Chorus:
No No
No No No No
No No No No
No No No No No No
No No
No No No No
No No No No
No No There’s no limit
(ad inifnitum)
For those of you who are fortunate enough to have never heard of this group, I present you with the following:
Life - by whoever
Life, oh life, oh lahahahife
oh life, tudutudu
Life, oh lahife, oh life, oh lahahahife
I’m afraid of a ghost
It’s a sight that I fear most
Never walk under ladders
I keep the rabbit tale
I take you up on a dare
Anytime anywhere
Name a place I’ll be there
Bungee jumping I don’t care
Life, oh life, oh lahahahife, oh life
(ad inifnitum)
How on earth does one get from ghosts to bungee jumping??!?
Damn! That was my hundredth post and I wasted it on stupid lyrics
