The Shite Lyrics Thread

Recommended Posts

A little while after the match commentary, Africa by Toto came on.

I'd forgotten how utterly terrible the lyrics were…

 

 

"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

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti"

 

… this is why session musicians should never be allowed to form bands.

 

So, any examples you feel worthy of the "Shite" tag, post them up.

Anything by the Black Eyed Peas--Willyam's songwriting technique consists of taking a single word or phrase, and adding nothing to it other than fucking stupid noises.

 

I GOT A FEELING

THAT TONIGHT GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT

THAT TONGIHT GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT

THAT TONIGHT GONNA BE A GOOD GOOD NIGHT

 

NANANANANANANANANA

 

I GOT A FEELING

 

etc.

 

Then there's:

 

IF I SAW SHORTY IN THE CLUB I BE LIKE

OH MY GOSH

OH MY GOSH

OH MY GOSH

OH MY GOSH

I BE LIKE

OH OH OH OH

OH OH OH OH OH

OH OH OH OH OH

OH OH OH

OH MY GOSH

Everyone goes on about Morrissey being some sort of poetical genius, when I was in a shop the other day a song of his came on, and these were some of the lyrics:

You were one, you knew you were one

and you slipped right through my fingers

No not literally but metaphorically

and now you're all I see as the light fades.

Des'ree - Life

 

"I'm afraid of the dark

Especially when I'm in a park

And there's no one else around,

Oh I get the shivers.

I don't want to see a ghost,

It's the sight that I fear most

I'd rather have a piece of toast

And watch the evening news."

 

No, honest she did write and sing that.

Fucking love the smiths, one of my favourite bands but I just don't like Morrissey's solo stuff

Once he built missiles, a nation's defence

Now he can't even give birthday presents

 

- Iron Maiden, "Man On The Edge"

 

 

You live for your toys

Even though they make noise

 

- Oasis, "Little James"

Drink it up, drink-drink it up,

When sober girls around me, they be actin like they drunk

They be actin like they drunk, actin-actin like they drunk

When sober girls around me actin-actin like they drunk

 

Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard

When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard

Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6

Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6

Like a G6, Like a G6

Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6

Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window guess that's why they call it window pain.

Mmm there's the Led Zep one on Ramble On with Plant screaming about GOLLUM AND THE EVIL ONESSSS

Much as I love Led Zep, they are responsible for some stinking lyrics like

 

"With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac.

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

 

*Come on, babe on the round about,

Ride on the merry-go-round,

We all know what your name is,

So you better lay your money down.

 

Alimony, alimony payin' your bills,

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills.

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman."

 

Have a word Percy!

"'Cos ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survival,

"Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.

"And ev'ry hand's a winner, just like ev'ry hand's a loser.

"And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

 

Thanks very much mate.

" An Albino

A Mulatto

A Mosquito

My Libido

Yeah. "

Aye, you can fuck off too, Kurt.

 

The whole song has utterly woeful lyrics, but it's a belter all the same
