“She’s like, so whatever”.
It just doesn’t get any better than that.
By John Cougar. Or John Cougar Mellencamp. Or John Mellencamp. It may not compare with these others, but it’s enough to make me change the station or turn off the radio when it comes on.
(and A Priori Tea, you’re quickly becoming one of my favorite posters. Hope you’ll stick around)
I’ll take the schnitzel, noodles, and apple strudels…
Started your New Year’s diet a few days early, did you?
What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
I think this song started out as an intersting idea, but the refrain and chorus just don’t work. ‘God’ and ‘slob’ don’t rhyme; and they’re in the middle of the line, setting up a pattern that the third line breaks. And if the rhyme is supposed to be on the end of the line, repeating the phrase “one of us” looks incredibly lazy.

How the hell did this thread get so far along with no mention of My Humps? Is it just too obvious?
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
I’m getting closer to my home.
(Yeah, it really is repeated 29 times in “I’m Your Captain.” I counted once.)
How can you mention this song and forget the worst lines of all?
“Nobody’s calling on the phone,
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome.”
Regarding other replies in this thread, I have just come to the conclusion that there is a definite correlation between songs about fat girls and bad lyrics.
Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed…
What is this? A song about Sideshow Bob?
I’m pretty sure I’ve got trump on this one. I present the legendary Rob Base:
This song has it all: random, out-of-the-blue misophobia, mangling of the English language to rhyme “loser” with “choose-uh”, and wrapping it all up with an admission by the author that he has no clue why anyone would enjoy his lyrics.
And for the record, I love this song.
My personal un-favorite is the opening lyric from a Backstreet Boys song:
Empty spaces fill me up with holes.
Just hearing that will set me off ranting for the rest of the song.
“I like the Whopper! FUCK the Big Mac.” Brilliant.
90’s rap has some of the dumbest lyrics. Digital Underground’s Humty Dance has some gems:
And this line, which I’m simply cracking up at because I never realized he actually said it:
The popularity of “It Takes Two” et. al. (Spin magazine’s best single of all time 
) just shows why 99% of all rap is popular for the (stolen) sample, not the lyrics. I saw something on this duo once, and they said since they didn’t credit the sample, they got sued or otherwise had to pay big and earned nothing on the song, which is pretty funny.
