Throwback Thursday - Worst Song Lyrics Ever

It's Throwback Thursday people...enjoy. 

My little man.

 I thought tonight I would jot down a few lyrics I have heard recently that cause me to question the intelligence of the music industry. Not some weird obscure song, but mainstream songs we have all heard. It was hard to narrow it down, but here are the finalists.

1. "Coast to Coast
      L.A. to Chicago "
                   - Sade 'Smooth Operator'

Hmm...yeah, not quite. Keep going east just a big further.

2. "I don't like cities, but I like New York
      Other places make me feel like a dork."
                     - Madonna "I love New York"

Well, it rhymes I suppose.

3. "There were plants , and birds, and rocks, and things.."
                - America 'Horse With No Name'

Things??? How about coyotes, snakes, sand...I dunno, but things??? No wonder your horse doesn't have a name.

4. "If I was a sculptor , but then again, no. "
                    - Elton John "Your Song'

I had an Elton John's Greatest Hits CD in high school. (I will pause while you laugh and

jest at my expense) This song always bothered me. If "no" then why mention it at all.

Just delete the line.

5. "She's a brick house. She's the one, the only one built like an amazon."
                    - The Commodores 'Brick House'

It's not only the lyrics I wonder about...but why do white people still dance to this at

weddings.

6. "I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did...As long as you love me."
          - Backstreet Boys

Set the standard a bit higher boys. Its lyrics like this that caused me to go to the

NSync concert instead of the Backstreet Boys. Oh, yeah. American Airlines Center in

Dallas. Spring of 2000...I was there.

7. "If I was invisible, I would be the smartest man."
           - Clay Aiken 'Invisible'

I'm really trying...no, I don't get it.

8. "I'm turning Japanese , I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so."
                      -The Vapors 'Turning Japanese'

No, no you're not. You aren't turning Japanese. Stop saying it.

9. "MmmBop. Bop. Bop. MmmBop. Dibby Dop Dop. MmmBop..."
              -Hanson 'MmmBop"

If you can pronounce the lyrics of a song without needing any teeth, it's probably not

the best idea.

10. "Your lipstick stains, on the front lobe of my left side brains..."
- Train 'Hey Soul Sister'

I don't actually hate this song, but left side brains... you lost me there.

Okay, this is my top ten list. Which ones did I miss? Let me know in the comments.
