One of us cannot be wrong
Maybe the guys (I don't actually know their names) behind Creed, Nickelback, and that band P.O.D that seemed popular for a while back in the late 90's. And then there's the ones with good music, but crap lyrics, and there's a lot of that around. So, what do you think?

I read a list of worst lyricists somewhere recently, and it said Sting was the worst. Paul McCartney and some others were on the list too. [I was liek wtf :cigar:]


But, seriously, there are loads of bad lyricists out there (including me :cigar:), I find it impossible to name the worst.

Now 100% more avant-garde than Ivan!
Fred Durst.

Examples (I copied and pasted this from another "Worst lyricists" thread):

"You say you want your money back but you're denied cuz your brains fried from the sac."
"I'm sick of being aggravated, I'm glad I'm hated, that's what happened back in Columbine!"
"No doubt I'd love to sniff on them panties now. I'm sorry, so sorry (damn you so hot). Your beauty is so vain (damn you're so hot!)."
"HEY! IT'S THE E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STOR-Y! IT'S THE E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STOR-Y!"
"...And, God, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I remember high school, man i hated high school
It was like prison with bullies always putting me down
Just a little skater boy they could pick on
I learned to forgive'em, now i got the balls they can lick on
I loved sneakin' out when my mom was asleep
With my gothic girlfriend makin' love in the creek"

Yes.


And although Zappa has had his low moments with lyrics, there are far worse lyricists out there than him.

Be sure and tell her...
Does anyone recall a 90s boyband called LFO?

They had that one song with truly, the worst lyrics ever.

"There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better when you are near"

I shit you not. Those boys were reaching far for a rhyme.

I've never really liked Donovan as a lyricist (though his lyrics, I admit, suit the songs and the psychedelic spirit perfectly), but of course, he's far from the worst. It's just that these lists need big names.

Take 'There is a Mountain'. It opens with "The lock upon my garden gate's a snail / That's what it is / The lock upon my garden gate's a snail / That's what it is", which is pretty bad, like Harrison's floor that needs sweeping, and I don't care the rest of the poem is based on Zen-Buddhist teachings, "First there is a mountain / then there is no mountain / then there is" aren't the best of lyrics.

Anyway, that's why I love that vid of Donovan and Dylan both playing one of their songs. Donovan's song has the lyrics "I'll sing a song for you / that's what I'm here to do / to sing for you", Dylan's is 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'. :pwn: 'ed, and he's well aware of it.

here, I'll help out:
Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing, the chocolate starfish, and the hot-dog flavored water,
Bring it on,
Get the fuck up,
Check, 1, 2
Listen up, Listen up, Here we go,

It's a fucked up world, what a fucked up place,
Everybody's judged by their fucked up face,
Fucked up dreams, fucked up life,
Fucked up kid, with a fucked up knife,
Fucked up moms, and fucked up dads,
Thats a fucked up cop, with a fucked up badge,
Fucked up job, with fucked up pay,
Fucked up boss, is a fucked up day,
Fucked up breast, fucked up lies,
All my niggas, in the biggest, got the facs of life

Hey, everybody knows this song

Ain't it a shame that you can't say fuck,
Fucks just a word and it's all fucked up,
Like a fucked up punk, with a fucked up mouth,
Nine inch nails'll get knock the fuck out,

Fucked up AIDS, from fucked up sex,
Fake ass titties on her fucked up chest,
We're all fucked up, so whatcha wanna do,
Well fucked up me and a fucked up you

(chorus)
You wanna fuck me like an animal,
You like to burn me on the inside,
You like to think that I'm a perfect drug,
Just know that nothin you do, will bring you closer to me,

Aint life a bitch, a fucked up bitch,
A fucked up sword with a fucked up stitch,
A fucked up head, is a fucked up shame,
Swingin on my nuts is a fucked up game,
Jealousy fillin up my fucked up mind,
its all fucked up like a fucked up crime,
If I say fuck two more times,
Thats 46 fucks in this fucked up rhyme,


Hey, everybody knows this song

chorus

(karate scream)

listen up baby,

You can't bring me down, I don't think so, and also
You better check yourself, before you wreck yourself,
Kiss my starfish, my, chocolate starfish, PUNK
Kiss my starfish, my, chocolate starfish,
