Worst lyric in pop historyThey have too many clicks - so here's the list:
The BBC 6 Music Taxing Lyrical Top 10
1. Des’ree - Life
I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news
2. Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer
I'm as serious as cancer
When I say rhythm is a dancer
3. Razorlight - Somewhere Else
And I met a girl
She asked me my name
I told her what it was
4. ABC - That Was Then But This Is Now
More sacrifices than an Aztec priest
Standing here straining at that leash
All fall down
Can't complain, mustn't grumble
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble
5. U2 - Elevation
I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
High and high in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation
6. Toto - Africa
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
7. Oasis - Champagne Supernova
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you when we were getting high?
8. Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know?
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war
9. Human League - The Lebanon
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
10. Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
I can think of a few that ought to be here...
White Stripes: Hardest Button to Button
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothing in it
Except a stick
A dog
And a box with something in it
The hardest button to button(x7)
*background: The hardest button to button (x3)
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Scar Tissue
Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin’ all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
I especially like the way they rhyme Wall and Bra.
