Hands down, the worst lyricist is....

[Rockbandfan23467]

The people who write for LFO.

Proof:

Yeah...I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summer
Do you remember, Do you remember?
...when we met..That summer??

[Chorus:]
New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer

[Verse 1:]
Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
Met you one summer and it all began
You're the best girl that I ever did see,
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Something in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad,
Left one day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home,
Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone
Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speaking
Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

[Chorus:]
New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer..
Since that summer

[Verse 2:]
Cherry Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
Always been hip to the B-boY Style
Known to act wild and make girls smile,
Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
Remind me of you because you rock my world
You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip hop and rock n roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love fun dip and cherry Coke,
I like the way you laugh when I tell a joke
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
In the summertime girls got it going on,
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like,
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

[Verse 3]
Bugaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpet
Think about that summer and I bug,cause I miss it
Like the color purple,macaroni and cheese,
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Call you up but whats the use
I like Kevin Bacon,but I hate Footloose
Came in the door I said it before,I think I'm over you
but I'm really not sure
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so,
Summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worth while and some are so so,
Summertime girls got it going on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike

[Repeat Chorus]

[Tralfmadorian]

The worst lyrics of all time are the lyrics to "She hates me" by Puddle of Mudd.

This is totally factual, and can not be refuted.

[JiggMaster]

whoever writes for metallica has to get take his pills more.

[JukeBoxHero]

Are we refering to merely lyricists in rock/metal only?

[PCTraitor]

Red Hot Chili peppers deserve a mention

[JMcQ77]

Based on that ridiculously bad song, "Rockstar," I would add Chad Kroeger from Nickelback to the list.

[OldFogey]

There already was a worst lyricists thread. I'll give it a bump if people want to continue that discussion.

Wow that is pretty bad...I like how some lines are just random and make no sense whatsoever, save for the fact that they rhyme...I mean
seriously...
You're the best girl that I ever did see,
The great Larry Bird Jersey 33
When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets?
That takes serious suckage to achieve.

This isn't a worst lyricist thread, I'm just stating my opionion.


What do you think of the lyrics?

[OldFogey]

My bad, I guess. The title of the thread was "hands down the worst lyricist is..." and people were responding to that, so that's what I picked up on. Not that I care, it just looks like we've got some new folks on the forum (welcome all) who might have enjoyed seeing what was said earlier.

Anyway -- you are absolutely right, those lyrics totally suck.

[OldFogey]

Should Blender have put them at #1 instead of Sting?

I don't know -- here's my thing about Sting. Sting writes some of the best music bar none in Rock history. And along with Brian Wilson is one of the few who truly compose the pieces -- he writes the parts out for all the different instruments and the background singers.

And then -- his lyrics make so much of the music unlistenable.

So do I just look at how stupid the lyrics are themselves, or do I take into account the music too and what the lyrics do to the music? If I do the latter, then Sting and VanDyke Parks are my candidates for worst, because they ruin so many good tunes.
