This thread was inspired by hearing Every Rose Has It's Thorn by hair metal band Poison on the car radio this evening.
However, I will start with a different song who's lyrics I've been trying to wrap my brain around for a year now.
"There's a Class For This" by Cute is What We Aim For (most annoying band ever, and yet, they were too catchy to pass up buying their album.)
What you got now gotta, gotta give it up
What you got now gotta, gotta give it up
What you got now, what you got now
We keep ourselves a mystery
But we provide, provide the clues
So the rest is up to you
and don't forget to check the obvious
We are so serious
So I guess it all comes down to how curious you can be
What you got now gotta, gotta give it up
What you got now gotta, gotta give it up
What you got now, what you got now
Chorus:
Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back
I may be ugly but they sure love to stare
Drama doesn't follow me it rides on my back
I may be ugly but they sure, they sure, love to stare
And you check labels more than the FCC
and these calories are, are killing me
But this is a sticky situation
So keep your chest in the game
And drop your jaw and coax me
(just coax me, just coax me)
What you got now gotta, gotta give it up
What you got now gotta, gotta give it up
What you got now, what you got now
Chorus
This is a party without the people
This is a show without the sounds
This is a dance without the steps
Now I gave you the clues, so find what I've found
This is a party without the people
This is a show without the sounds
Now I gave you the clues, so find what I've found
Chorus
Reason why it's bad: ...What in the name of the lord is the meaning of this song.
What do I got that I'm supposed to give up?
Why would we make ourselves mysteries if we also provide clues?
Why would I check the obvious if it's obvious?
And why does being serious come down to how curious we are? WHY MUST YOU RHYME WORDS WHEN THE REST OF THE SENTENCE DOESN'T GO TOGETHER?
I suppose the first line of the chorus makes a bit of sense... but then if you're mad ugly, OBVIOUSLY people are going to stare.
How does the Federal Communications Commision relate to your daily calorie intake? I Wikipedia'd it up, dude. I'm pretty sure they don't manufacture canned goods and the like.
And I'm sorry if this means your fighting some sort of eating disorder or anything.
It's a sticky situation - but WHAT is the situation? Is there an FCC/Kelloggs cereal conspiracy going on? And you need me to coax you out of believing it?
And those three clues at the end don't help one bit. Because I STILL cannot realize the message you are trying to put across with these lyrics.
And I'll post Every Rose Has It's Thron now. It's chorus is so horrendous. (I have starred* the parts of the verses that I find terribly cheesily hilarious as well.)
We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
*Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside*
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess thats why they say
Chorus:
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the dj say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that youd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow
I guess
Chorus
Though its been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
*Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains*
Solo (I love how they have to mention the guitar solo IN THE WRITTEN LYRICS. Proof of how bad they are.)
I know I could have saved a love that night
If Id known what to say
*Instead of makin love
We both made our separate ways* <--LOL BEST PART.
But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
*To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife* <--So many cutting/knife refernces!
I guess
Chorus
So. I want you guys to share your favorite bad lyrics. I know ya'll can find some good ones. And by good I mean flippin' terrible.
