   1 Okay, those are so not the worst lyrics ever. Almost all of the ones from my insipid lyrics post from a while back are worse, but I still think the Nena ones win. *grin* -J Reply to this comment.

   2 I was shocked that the Oasis song selected wasn’t “Wonderwall.” What the hell is a wonderwall? That has ALWAYS bothered me. Reply to this comment.

   3 i KNOW, right? “champagne supernova” you can picture, okay, sparkly explosion thingy. but wonderwall? wtf? oasis has always driven me crazy because i like their melodies but despise the trying-too-hard whimsicality of their surrealist wannabe lyrics. Reply to this comment.

   4 OK, how the heck did I miss that? A post from you about lyrics?! I can’t believe it slipped past me. The Nena example is hilarious, it’s true. But those Partridge family lyrics very nearly made my eyeballs bleed. Yowch. Reply to this comment.

   5 Todd Rundgren - We gotta get you a woman Talkin’ ’bout things about that special one They may be stupid but they sure are fun I’ll give it to you while we’re on the run Because we ain’t got time to get this thing together, ’cause we Got to get together with a woman who has been around, One who knows better than to let you down, Let’s hope there’s still one left in this whole town, And that she’ll take some time to get this thing together. “They may be stupid but they sure are fun,” how nice.

   6 Cher had a song that went something like, “There’s one thing there’s not enough of, and that is love and understanding.”. One thing? Two? Or are they the same thing??? From The Complexity of Songs (reformatted for text-only): S(0) = e (nothing), S(k) = V S(k-1) for k >= 1, V = ‘That’s the way,’ U ‘I like it,’ U U = ‘uh huh, uh huh’ Reply to this comment.

   7 Poop on them for pooping on Duran Duran. I always thought “Don’t say you’re easy on me, you’re about as easy as a nuclear war” was funny and kinda clever. Pfft. Reply to this comment.

   8 Obviously country was excluded entirely, or the entire list would have been country songs. Some of these lyrics aren’t that bad if you ask me. U2 and Oasis especially, but I agree with Duran Duran as well. There are far worse lyrics out there than these. Reply to this comment.

    11 i don’t think he means women, there–i think he actually means that the little things about a person are stupid but fun. i wound up putting it on the tape–go figure. Reply to this comment.
