A year ago an 11 year old girl told me this was her favorite song, so later that night I looked it up...

A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a don't you know about the bird?

Papa-ooma-mow-mow, papa-ooma-mow-mow
Papa-ooma-mow-mow, papa-ooma-mow-mow
Ooma-mow-mow, papa-ooma-mow-mow

And despite that (or maybe because of it), the song is f***ing catchy. :)

I ****ed up, in Japan they don't speak Mandarin Chinese (durh), but I'm pretty sure the lyrics to the themesong of a Japanese cartoon wern't originally written in english. When you translate songs to other languages, sometimes they come out wonky. Maybe translations arn't always accurate (hence "Charlie is not the internet."), screwing the lyrics original meaning and making them lose what originally made them good.

Why would Clash songs be written in Mandarin?! Do you even know who they are!?

Ooook now it all makes sense I wondered what you were talking about. Yeah I was just kidding I knew it wasnt english first for naruto.

@Paloma- Of course I know The Clash. Read the thread we were talking about something else and I was confused because they started talking about Mandarin.

I love Madonna but her rap from her song "American Life" is pretty laughable:

I'm drinking a soy latte
I get a double shot-ay
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied

I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling super-duper
Yo they tell me I'm a trooper
And you know I'm satisfied

I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied

I'm digging on the isotopes
This metaphysic s*** is dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know I'm satisfied

etc. etc.

I think it was supposed to be ridiculous, but still.

The band that was almost number one, they were told that Surfin' Bird would be the number one single on the next weeks Billboard unless something unheard of happened...some band from Liverpool came along and knocked them down to number four.

Blackout Crew - Put A Donk On It

Quote:

Yeah, yeah it's sick that, yeah that's good.
Wait hold on a minute, pull it up, stop. You know what you wanna do with that right, you wanna put a bangin' donk on it!

Yeah, yeah, yeah thats sick. That is sick!
I can definitely drop to that one, all we need now is like a hook line.
You know what I've got actually the perfect one.

Baseline!
Put a donk on it.
Electro!
Put a donk on it.
Techno!
Put a donk on it.
Ayy, thats good that Tony!
Ahahaha sick!
Baseline!
Put a donk on it.
Electro!
Put a donk on it.
Techno!
Put a donk on it.
Donk d-donk donk donk donk donk.

Covers goin' sick tonight,
I'm like superman without kryptonite,
phat as hell without cellulite,
and I look well sick in a U.V light,
speakin' of sick that's me on the mic,
and if you don't like it get on ya bike,
pack ya bags and get out my sight,
otherwise its left right left goodnight,

Mic controller,
lyric amova,
rhymes that im comin so quick like a soldier,
so ya better know my name is Cover,
if you wanna test me ya better not go there,
if you go there ya gonna get messed up,
and have a face on you like a broken clock,
as I'm comin' you better get runnin',
you better get gone or your gonna get done in.


I'm back, with professional status,
the greatest MC that's likely to make this,
take this mic and use it against yous,
other mc's just aint the same as,
this kids been livin the dream,
been glued to the mic since I was 13,
get in my way and you will start see,
what life is like on a life support machine...
I could continue with this song, but it has to be the most annoying lyrics I have ever come across.

Imperfect Haze 04-02-2010 10:29 AM

That sounds like something off an SNL digital short.

Blur - Girls and Boys

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

*shudder*

boo boo 04-02-2010 10:38 AM

What's so bad about that? It's a silly song but Blur write songs like that on purpose.

Albarn wrote that song about some experience he had at a party where a big orgy took place or something like that, which he seemed to describe as a rather surreal experience.

At least with Blur there's usually some wit or irony behind the silliness, unlike Oasis who pretty much only know how to write songs a 5 year old could come up with.

H.Z 04-02-2010 10:44 AM

Yes yes!I totally agree with you boo boo..Especially about Oasis..

I've always kind of enjoyed those lyrics.

TheCunningStunt 04-02-2010 10:50 AM

Don't get me wrong, I like Blur. I prefer them around the '13' era though. That being said, I can't stand Girls and Boys, awful lyrics. I don't care how quirky or fun they are, a 5 year old definitely could write lyrics about girls and boys liking each other. Worst Blur song IMO.

boo boo 04-02-2010 10:53 AM

Heh, I do think it's one of their weakest songs.

"I'm On A Boat - The Lonely Island"

Awww ****, get your towels ready it's about to go down (shawty, yeah)
Everybody in the place hit the f***in deck (yeah, shawty)
But stay on your mother****in toes! We runnin this, let's go

I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
Everybody look at me cause I'm sailin on a boat (sailin on a boat)
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
I'm on a boat! Take a good hard look at the motherf***in boat (boat, yeah)

I'm on a boat motherf***er take a look at me
Straight floatin on a boat on the deep blue sea
Bustin five knots, wind whippin at my coat
You can't stop me mother****er cause I'm on a boat

Take a picture, trick (trick) I'm on a boat, bitch (bitch)
We drinking Santana champ, cause it's so crisp (crisp)
I got my swim trunks, and my flippie-floppies
I'm flippin burgers, you at Kinko's straight flippin copies

I'm ridin on a dolphin, doin flips and sh!t
This dolphin's splashin, gettin e'rybody all wet
But this ain't Seaworld, this is real as it gets
I'm on a boat mother****er, don't you ever forget

I'm on a boat and, it's goin fast and
I got a nautical themed pashmina afghan
I'm the king of the world, on a boat like Leo
If you're on the shore, then you're sho' not me-oh
{Get the f*** up, this boat is real}

**** land, I'm on a boat, motherf***er (motherf***er)
**** trees, I climb buoys, motherf***er (motherf***er)
I'm on the deck with my boys, motherf***er (yeah)
The boat engine make noise, motherf***er

Hey ma, if you could see me now (see me now)
Arms spread wide on the starboard bow (starboard bow)
Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow (moon somehow)
Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible

Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat
It's a big blue watery road (yeah)
Poseidon, Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)
Never thought I'd see the day
When a big boat comin my way
Believe me when I say, I f***ed a mermaid

I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat
Everybody look at me cause im sailin on a boat
I'm on a boat
I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherf***in boat

Whoahhh Sha-sha-shorty, shorty Yeah yeah yeahhh

Blur are essentially the only britpop band I really care about. Modern Life is Rubbish is essentially the best non-Radiohead rock album that ever came out of England in the 90s.

I still care for Oasis, but I don't listen to them much anymore. I still care for The La's as well. :D

To be fair it's been a long, long time since I listened to one of their albums, but I definitely didn't like them back in the day, that's for sure.

It was a joke song anyway, dude. The lyrics werent supposed to be good they were supposed to make people laugh. Which they did. You do realize that Andy Samberg isnt a real artist, right?

ElephantSack 04-04-2010 10:41 PM

Most people would be totally unimpressed or even offended by the lyrics to "The HIV Song" by Ween.
These are them in their entirety:

AIDS, AIDS, HIV, AIDS, HIV
AIDS

HIV, AIDS, HIV, AIDS, AIDS
HIV

But I think it's hilarious.
I like to play it on the jukebox in a crowded bar.

You know what song I find offensive?
"Chicken Fried" by The Zac Brown Band.
The fact that it's so popular in the States is a testament to our penchant for consumerism and simple repetition.
And lines like:
"Salute the ones who died,
the ones who gave their lives,
so we don't have to sacrifice
the things we love
like our chicken fried..."
Makes me want to kill everybody I went to high school with.

AlisonChains 04-12-2010 10:41 PM

anything by ke$ha. her lyrics are laughable. but the music is too freakin catchy.

and now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go hang myself from my ceiling fan. it's been real.

alexmtin114 04-14-2010 05:48 AM

Ten worst IMO:

"The Boy is Mine" by Brandy and Monica.

"Bawitdaba" by Kid Rock.
"I Disappear" by Metallica.
"My All" by Mariah Carey.
"Perfect" by Simple Plan.
"The Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston.
"Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" by Will Smith.

I didn't know Mariah Carey had words in her songs... I always thought they were just excessively protracted syllables tacked together. :o:

And here's another pearl from Metallica:


Oh My lifestyle (Birth is Pain) determines my deathstyle!
a rising tide (Life is Pain) that pushes to the other side!
My lifestyle (Death is Pain) determines my deathstyle!
a rising tide (Its All The Same) that pushes to the other side!

Frantic tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock

I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that i've made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk goes hurry
