ROFL at the worst pop lyrics ever

[GiantSquirrelSpotter]

Apparantly Desiree "life" has one

But I liked that culture club

"War is stupid
and people are stupid
and ... [something else] is stupid
and ...[lalallala] stupid"

Definitely my fave

Or the Beatles

'She came in through the bathroom window,
Protected by a silver spoon'

Wish I was a lyricist.

Fantastic, Califrau..."nights in the scullery"; WTF was that all about? Funny little fella, Nik Kershaw...gravity-defying haircut and used to wear one of those snood scarf thingies that were fleetingly fashionable in the mid-1980s...

Oh yes Gary Tibbs. It's like a roll call of old crushes! If we're on that tip Sonny Crocket too!
Fave Beatles lyric: Happiness is a warm gun, bang bang shoot shoot!

Let's bury the decade. Howard Jones...

And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing

Under his nose was a dream come true
Been there all the time and he almost knew
Thoughts of people in misfortune stopped him doing things well
His duty was to use it - left his pearl in the shell

Wanker

I nearly forgot about Bob Dylan

'It aint know use in turning on your light babe
The light I nver knowed'

Lovely little song but a bit

I love Happiness is a warm gun too!!!

'When I feel my finger on your trigger, I know nobody can do me no harm'

The Reflex is a lonely child, he's playing in the park. The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark. Ta na na na.

Howard Jones...you'd have thought he'd have got himself a stage name, for gawd's sake. And remember the mime artist in chains (Jez? Jed?) who used to perform with him?

Oh sunyshiney - WELL DONE!

Oh John Taylor yum yum. I love the eighties.

He was called Jed wasn't he?

John Taylor. I would have Sandwiched with singer from Then Jericho. And AdamAnt. Er, Club Sandwich perhaps?

Don't remember singer from Then Jericho, but JT, AA (or Tibbsy) and Sonny Crocket would have been my 80s sandwich.

at memories of Howard Jones' shit mime artist.

we will be fine apollo 9 even though nasa says were out of line

Abra, abracadabra,
I wanna reach out and grab ya.

Don't say you're easy on me,
You're about as easy as a nuclear war...

(but Nick Rhodes looked very cute in his toy soldier outfit in the video... yum yum... )

Actually Duran Duran have been responsible for some godawful lyrics over the years -

Shake up the picture, the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers,
All of which I deny

New moon on Monday and a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite.... (wtf???)

Of course, at the age of 15 I thought this was the stuff of nobel literature.....

And I'm going to see them in Cork at the end of June! Tickets arrived this morning!!!! Yay!!!!

Oh Adam Ant was gorgeous though, wasn't he?

very bad lyrics though

God, am with norksbride on the club sandwich. A divine melange of 80s pop totty.

what about Boney M ? some real choice lyrics there as I recall, although the Adam and the Ants ouevre (sp? ) is right up there too.

Ma Baker, she tought her four sons
Ma Baker, to handle a gun
Ma Baker, she never could drive
Ma Baker - but she knew how to die.

or the pinnacle of Boney M's illustrious career:

Ra Ra Rasputin - Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on.

OOOOhh those Russians ( said as if in last stages of death)

Bloody genius IMO.

Donnie,believe itt or not,Rasputin was the first song i heard on arrival in Russia where we lived for a few years. Couldn't believe it.

Good God moondog. Did they all dress like Bobby Farrell? lol!

have just remembered some more of the lines:

some people looked at him with terror and fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.

it's so awful it's brilliant!

Boney-M. Heh heh heh!

snaf - get your own sandwich!

Lovecat - enjoy! It'll be extreme silly fun.
