Worst Chorus Lyric EVER!

Life by Des'ree

Ooh, Yeah
Oh yeah
Oh Life
Oh Life

I'm afraid of the dark
Especially when I'm in the park
When there's no one else around
Oh I get the shivers
I don't wanna see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news

Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life
Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life

I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbits' tail
I'll take you up on a dare
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there
Bungee jumping, I don't care

Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life
Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life

Life

So after all's said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun
If you really want to
Sometimes living out your dreams
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world
In a beautiful balloon

Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life
Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life

Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life
Life, oh life
Oh life, oh life
Oh life, oh life..

"thong tha thong thong thong"

...or...

"we rollin rollin rollin"

-"Undercover Angel"

(This one from "Live is Life" by Austrian mid-80s one hit wonders Opus)

Live (na na na-na-na)
Live is life (na na na-na-na)
Let us all talk about life (na na na-na-na)
Live (na na na-na-na)

"Your body is a wonderland . . ."

Oh oh, la la la
Oh oh, la la la
Oh oh, la la la
Oh oh, la la la

'Life, oh life, oooh life, oh life, doo doo doo doo' X 10

the worst lyrics i've ever heard of (i think they're the chorus,although i haven't heard the song,only one of my friends describing it) are

"paradise
is very nice"

ll cool j i believe

Guttermouth-Diamond Studded Bumble Bee (Gorgeous,1999)

It goes well with a sequioned dress
and accentuates my hairy chest
i love carrots not in stew
holiday in africaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Catfood
Catfood
Catfood
AGAIN!

Dear Heaven that song makes me cross.

So it was. My mistake.

What a shitty song...

Thus spake the Poet.

I nominate "We're a garage band - ohh, ohh, ohh/We come from garage land - ohh, ohh, ohh/Ohh ohh ohh"

Ooh, ooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, ooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you.

That one is pretty bad. But this is all time, hall of fame bad:

2. Rush - Free Will

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose free will.

"She had a pretty face but her head was up in space. She needed to come back down to earth."
"Now he's a superstar slammin on his guitar to show pretty face what he's worth."
"I'll be backstage after the show. I'll be at the studio singing the song he wrote about a girl he use to know."

Grr.

I actually really like that song, but check out the awkward sentence contruction, especially that "my secrets to reveal" line.

This is in no way the worst chorus lyric ever, in fact it is brilliant, but I wanted to quote it and this thread was nearby.

(Please repeat title of the song 2000x for about twenty minutes)

Depeche Mode-People Are People

It's cliche, I know, but it's the true winner.

New Order - Crystal

Tremendous song apart from that.

just awful. bloody awful.

By the Polecats. Forget the title...

"And we go doot.
Doot doot.
And we go doot.
Doot doot".

As I said, I love the song immensely, but fuck me...

Worst chat-up line ever?

Worst response to worst chat-up line ever?

(I'll stop now)

Are we human, or are we dancer?

YOUR SEX IS ON FIRE

Ice Ice Baby -- talk about inane!

or is that insane

ly awesome

i need to get off the computer

Say what you need to say/Say what you need to say,
Say what you need to say/Say what you need to say.
Say what you need to say/Say what you need to say,
Say what you need to say/Say what you need to say.

-repeat at least FOUR fucking times throughout song with, I swear, not a speck of self-aware irony.

oh man that kings of leon sentiment is right on

oh man that kings of leon sentiment is right on

the one-two punch of that line being followed by the squealing bendy guitar bit is the most boneheaded thing I've ever heard

Are we human, or are we dancer?

an idiotic dichotomy on par with McCain's arab OR "decent family man citizen."

And I said "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said "I think I remember the film
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it"
And I said "Well, that's the one thing we've got"

Dear Heaven that song makes me cross.

I know there's some apologists for this song on ILX, but I really fucking hate:

New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think its fly when girls stop by for the
Summer, for the summer

I think the computer program that generates the voice of Mizz Spears just entered the race with "Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer....

Common ft. Canibus - Making a Name For Ourselves:
"Y'all niggaz is scared, I'm your worst nightmare squared
That's double for niggaz who ain't mathematically aware"

Ironic and really fucking stupid.

Not so much a chorus, but a pre-chorus, from Yes' "Love Will Find A Way" :

"Here is my heart
Waiting for you
Here is my soul
I eat at chez nous"

For years I thought I was mishearing that last line.

oh come on mentioning Lyte Funkie Ones on this thread is like battering a Furby to death

woman is the * of the world

that line always left me wondering what black people are the * of

i am i said
to no one there
and no one heard at all
not even the chair

The shelf in the room
Has been the way
Of holdin' me
And letting me stay

The shelf in the room
Has been so true
I can hide in
The shelf in the room

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?

God, how I used to groan at "The Shelf in the Room." I'm sure payola was involved somehow.

Don't forget me
I think I remember you said:
'Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead.'

also the "Breakfast At Tiffany's" song, as mentioned upthread, is all-but-indefensible; however I like to think that there exists a possible world in which Deep Blue Something are redeemed by self-awareness & insincerity (... a la Steely Dan??)

(nota bene : I have heard zero other DBS songs, so sue me if I talk shit too long)

I think it's pretty obvious that the utter banality of the chorus of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is intentional, and the narrator is full of shit? The verse lyrics have a very different tone from the chorus, they have a much more traditional and sentimental "breakup song" quality:

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

CHORUS:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

I see you - the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over -
When so much is left undone

CHORUS:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

CHORUS:
And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."

So basically it's about a couple breaking up because the other person feels their incompatible with each other, and the narrator is grasping at straws, trying to find anything to prove his partner wrong. And the futility of this effort is undermined by how banal and temptative the dialogue in the chorus is: As I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it. So these are quotes from their actual dialogue, and when you compare it to the much more dramatic statements made by the narrator in the verses, you can see how he's fooling himself. I think it's key that the line But I know you just don't care is there just before the chorus: in the verses, the narrator is trying to say that his partner's claim that they are incompatible and that's why theyre breaking up is not really true, that in reality s/he just doesn't care... But immediately after this statement we learn that his defense that they do have something in common consists of pointing out that they both maybe kinda liked "Breakfast at Tiffany's". So it's obvious the narrator is just fooling himself, his grandiose delusions in the verses being deflated by the realism of the chorus.

"how banal and tentative the dialogue in the chorus is"

Who wants honey?
As long as there's some money

No way no way
Mahna mahna

And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it.

^^^ I always thought the line was "we both kind of hated it", which makes for a far more interesting song - couple on the verge of breaking up realise the only thing they really have in common is that they both hate the film Breakfast At Tiffany's.
