The 12 Worst Pop Music Lyrics Ever
8. Bob Dylan: Idiot Wind
A double-header of mangled words delivered by the man with the biggest post-adolescent mumble in pop.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing down the backroads headin’ south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You’re an idiot, babe.
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
Teeth. Breathe. Works best with a lisp.
Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.
Null shall sleep…
7. TLC: No Scrubs
Cuz I’m lookin’ like class and he’s lookin’ like trash
Can’t get wit’ no deadbeat ass
Trash and ass? Or as Chris de Burgh would says: Trarsh and Arse. Rubbirsh.
6. Kanye West: Jesus Walks
Having softened up the listener with:
They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us
Saying “we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast
West delivers the coup de grace:
A trunk full of coke rental car from Avis
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us
Taxi for Kanye!
5. Toto: Africa
The song that infected the 80s like a dose of smallpox. It’s car sick music for the masses:
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
Take meeee, now Tarzan. Aggh-aghhhh-aghaaaa, Aghaaaaaahhhhhhh!

You missed out the most overdone one of them all
the rhyming of war
with
what are we fighting for?
can currently be heard in 10 673 songs the last time i checked

The most overdone rhymes ever:
heart - apart
hand - understand
joy - boy
dance - chance
love - above

Pussycat Dolls’ “When I Grow Up” takes some beating:
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have boobies.
Although, to be fair, they redeem themselves a little by exchanging ‘boobies’ for ‘groupies’ in the radio edit.
Blondie rhyming Maria with ‘See ‘er’ is a highlight of pop music too.

When pedestrians try to cross
I let them know who’s boss
I never blow my horn or give them warning
I drive around the town
Trying to run them down
It’s seldom that they live to see the morning
Plastic Jesus - Various Artists
and the anthem of BMW drivers everywhere

They’re probably not the perpetrators of bad rhymes but can I nominate doo-wop music? Why must we still hear its gibberish to this day? Like fins on cars, it was ugly and pointless.
“…Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp
Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong
Who put the bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop
Who put the dip in the dip-de-dip-de-dip
Who was that man, I’d like to shake his hand…”
Really? I’d like to see him suffer eternal torment.

That was Adam Faith who sang Lonely Pup, he was Rickmans predecessor, even after my dad and AF crashed into each other

That’s very moving, Yampster.
Actually, what I really wanted for Christmas was the Cellulite Action Pack; do puppies work?

As it’s Christmas. I give you Lonely Pup by Arthur Alexander in its entirity. Every line, every verse, every chorus a true master class. You will be singing this for days. I know I have been …..sob
Soft brown eyes that seem to say
Stop a while, I want to play
Would you, could you, do please stop
He’s a lonely pup in a Christmas shop
Thank you lady, thank you sir
Is there someone else that you’d prefer
He’s not selfish, just a flop
Though he wags his tail in a Christmas shop
Mister Santa, if you would
Send him someone, oh so good
Someone who will take him home
For ev’ryone to see
Christmas time, a Christmas tree
With a happy family
Pity him, he’s got no Pop
He’s a lonely pup in a Christmas shop
Mister Santa, if you would
Send him someone, oh so good
Someone who will take him home
For ev’ryone to see
Christmas time, a Christmas tree
With a happy family
Pity him, he’s got no Pop
He’s a lonely pup in a Christmas shop

By the time I’ve worked out what the words are, the song is old hat

A shade better than Maizey dotes & dozey dotes & little lambsy divey!!
Mares eat oats & does eat oats & little lambs eat ivy.
