The 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 1


"Coast to coast

L.A. to Chicago"

--Sade's 'Smooth Operator'


Sade was born in Nigeria and grew up in London, but her biggest hit reveals that she's clearly not a smooth navigator.

How come they didn't include anything by "Kesha"? Everything that comes out of this woman's mouth is stupid! Don't believe me? Just listen to "We R Who We Are," or "Take It Off." A total onslaught of asinine lyrics!

@ Jo: "Hot dog, jumping frog, Alberkerke" is an intentionally terrible and ridiculous song and lyric, so I don't know that you can say it's the worst :)

You mean John Lennon's Come Together didn't make this list??? The absolute worst lyrics EVER!!!
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola

This whole article was lame. There are literraly millions of songs
that have crazy lyrics. One can totally relate with the artists while
another thinking...WTF?! As far as adding Elton John or Beatles
stuff.... Are you kidding me? Two of the most iconic artist/groups
ever and you want to call them Worst!!?? Give me a break. The title
to this should have been named something different...Like OH...I dont
know..maybe "Strange Lyrics"

The worst lyric ever has to be Peter Andre Flava "aint got no time to think, so I grab a drink". Hideous.

I am shocked and appauled you have left out 'Desree - Life' from your list. I demand it be put straight to number 1 with this shocker:

"I'm afraid of the dark,
Especially when I'm in a park
When there's no one else around
Oh I get the shivers
I don't wanna see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news"

WTF its a full verse and its beyond bad. I think she has another song about a cat, sat on a mat, somthing like that.
