What song lyrics can you think of that made you wince in disgust or say WTF?

Give the song, and a sampling of suckness.
My contribution:
GOOD MORNING STARSHINE (from the hippy musical "Hair"):

Gliddy gloop gloopy,
Nibby nobby nooby,
La la la lo lo.
Sabba sibby sabba,
Nooby abba dabba,
Le le lo lo.
Dooby ooby walla,
Dooby abba dabba,
Early morning singing song.

No, I'm not kidding.  Seeing these lyrics make me glad the sixties are over.
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

The blind guy's theme song in "Quest for Camelot" . . . the chorus repeats the line:

"All by myself, I stand alone!"

DUH!!!!! Where else are you going to stand all by yourself??? :hatred:
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

The extended version of a stupid song from a stupid artist who claims to be a 'rapper' just has this to say for a minute.
"Yeah, yeah"

The song is by Soulja Boy, and the song is called "Turn My Swag On" and the lyrics sucks.
yeah no.

Possibly a poster child for bad lyrics:
BLINDED BY THE LIGHT- MANFRED MANN

The song is FULL of 'em!

Madman drummers, bombers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat,
In the dumps with the mumps, as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat.
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round.
With its very unpleasin' sneezin' and wheezin' the calliope crashed to the ground.

Written by Bruce Springsteen, who sucks anyway.
"O the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day, is a curse that'll live on and on.."

    TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN by Steve Miller
I don't care what my wife says, the fact that "Texas" and "facts is" does not rhyme DOES matter.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

LOL....I saw that one coming. :teddyr:
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

I love the Christian metal band Barren Cross, but they have a song on their 1986 debut called "Believe" that contains the following lyric...

"Better than Pot, JESUS ROCKS! Come and Believe!
You will find out, joy will come to you
Take it, drink it, no fee, come and believe
Smoke on His love, believe!"

...I swear I am not making any of that up. I've had this album for over twenty years but whenever I hear the "JEESUS ROOOOCKS!" part I still cringe like I've been shot.
"If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

Petra's lyrics were WAAAYY better than that!
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

Yeah just like that other song, "The Bird Is the Word". I swear that one's enough to make you hammer holes in a wall somewhere...just what the hell is a "Papa Oom Mow Mow", anyway?

Popsicle Toes sounds horrible, yet entertainingly funny at the same time.
yeah no.

I have discovered in the past two years that Soulja Boy really is the king of unintentionally stupid, so-bad-they're-good-lyrics. Included in his repertoire are "my pants sag to show the Louie...I'm like 'ooie ooie'" "I'm hot in the kitchen cooking up that anime," "I switch lanes, with two chains, like 2 Chainz," and "I came out the water and I'm mobbin', Pretty Boy Gangster, Pretty Boy Goblin"

His song "Gold Bricks" is like a collection of non-sequiturs, trying to come off as "tough" :bouncegiggle:

All of Alanis Morissette's lyrics are idiotic. For example, "Thank You"......

"how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo"

Stupid. And isn't it ironic?  :twirl:
"Nothin' out there but God's little creatures - more scared of you than you are of them"  - Warren, "Just Before Dawn"

I love The Cult, but the opening to "She Sells Sanctuary" go
"Oh the heads that turn
Make my back burn"

What does that even mean? What. Does. That. Even. Mean?
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me
