h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I don't know if we've already had this before or not, but I wonder what h2g2 thinks is the world's worst song lyric. Could it be the timeless 'Wake me up before you go-go' by fey popsters Wham? Or the Ramones' 'I suppose I better tell 'em that I've got no cerebellum' (which I actually think is a great lyric)? What do you reckon?

I don't care for colds nor freezes
As long as I got my plastic Jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car

That one about walking through the park, in the dark I'd rather have some toast and something about ghosts. It's abyssmal - I don't want to bring myself to google it - someone else can identify it.

Liam.

Rhyming 'anarchist' with 'anti-christ' takes some beating...

And so should the person who wrote the lyric...

We're so pretty, oh so pretty...

Some of my favs:

She used to be a diplomat
But now she's down the laundromat
- Spandau Ballet, Highly Strung

I'm serious as cancer
When I say Rhythm is a Dancer
- Snap

She's an investigator
She's like an elevator
- Alphaville, mericfully I've forgotten the title


Quality stuff...

The toast/ ghost one is appalling I agree, but what makes it worse is it's by the same person as san "Gotta be bad, gotta be bold gotta be wiser" which is so good!

It was Des'ree, btw

Cloviscat has already posted my nomination (the "Rhythm is a dancer" one) and yes Sam, this topic has been discussed before: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F19585?thread=151929 Some truly horrible ones there

Ah, thanks for that Lady in a Tree. I've just been over there and some of them are truly nauseous.

"I couldn't live without my phone
But you don't even have a home"

from some dirge by Mel C must come close to the top of the naff lyrics list

And while we're at it, could some poetical reserearcher please tell me what rhymes with "district"? I've thought about it for so long, but the closest word I get is "bisquit"...

You're the light, You're the light
When I close my eyes I'm colour blind

'Restrict' rhymes with 'district' (at least, it does in my accent ), or are they too similar?

I'll cast a third vote for Rhythm is a Dancer!

Also:

You walk into an empty rooooooom
Suddenly your heart goes ... boooooom!

ROTFL

or:

We got no class
We got no principles
We got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes!
(Alice Cooper, I'm 18)

and of course the timeless (and talentless):

No no no no no no no no no no no no there's no limits.
(2-Untalented)

I had another one, but it's gone.

Ah yes, that was it ...

'Think of all the bubbles of love we made'

(They always come to me the moment I hit 'post'.

"Ready To Rumble" by cheeky geordie scampsters Ant & Dec

Anyone remember this?
"I'm blue da ba de da blue guy, a-da ba de da blue guy a da ba de da blue guy..."

And what about:
"I called up my friend the good Angel
But she was out with her answering phone
She said she would love to come help me
But the sea would electrocute us all"

A little gem from Radiohead there, 'Nice dream'

"Can't complain, musn't grumble. Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble"

ABC - That was then but this is now

"Hear me rappin' an you'll wonder
Is he a yankee?
No I'm a Londoner"
Street Tuff - By the Rebel MC

"..she died of a fever,
and no one could save her"
Molly Malone, just to prove it's not a new phenomenon.
