"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.

8. What's wrong with #1. Coast to Coast, from the Pacific to Lake Michigan. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? No? Okay, nevermind.
OMG! I have coffee coming out of my nose! I can't stop laughing. Too funny!

What about Merril Bainbridge's 'Lonely'? The entire song is truly awful, but some highlights include
'If you love me, kiss the boys and make them cry' and
'I was late
Still god told me to wait
And if I go up high on my trapeze
Let's hope that I dont sneeze'
Woeful!

LA to Chicago... uhh... doesnt she say, "... west of Maine" right after that? that would cover coast-to-coast. even if she didnt get it right, I was very happy to see Elton John as soon as these embarrassments started; that line has always made me wish someone was scraping their nails down a blackboard to drown out the radio (that I would never have on any station that would play that song). THAT one shouldve been number ONE

How could you leave off America's "the heat was hot", Wham's "wake me up b4 you go-go" or "guilty feet have got no rhythm" or the line from Jesse's girl: "I feel so guilty when they start talkin' cute, I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot"?

how about LFO summer girls:
anything for a rhyme you think??:
"Hip Hop Marmalade spic And span,
Met you one summer and it all began"
#2:
"When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet
Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets"
And the Worsttt:
"When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch"

Bitch about the lyrics or the grammar but they are still getting RICH thanks to fools parted from their money. Oops bad grammar

WORST Lyrics (on the surface)= American Pie
BEST Lyrics (when you really think deeply about them) = American Pie. Google: American Pie Lyrics Meaning and see why. Some are rather obvious, others rather obscure, a little is speculation, but all paint a vivid picture.

"Thanks for taking me on a one way trip to the Sun."
From "After the loving".
by Englebert Humperdink.
I think the logical lyric after this line should have been. Aiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

How could you fail to include "Sittin' in La La, Waitin' for my Ya Ya" as dumbest song lyric EVER!?
NancyYat 3-01-2008
Maybe she thought that Lake Michigan was a 'coast'...
Johnat 3-08-2008
The lyrics list was a bust,
But this #1 lyric was very dumb,
Add that to the worst lyrics list,
Because I've heard alot worse than this.
terryoat 3-17-2008
How could they leave off Stevie Nicks...
Just like a white winged dove, sings the song sounds like she's singing ooh ooh ooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But what about...
Someone left the cake out, in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to make it,
And I'll never have that recipe again...
Man In Blackat 11-27-2009
I read this and my immediate response was:
"No f____'n sh__!" MacArthur Park (and I'm even ashamed to know the name of the song) is without doubt the worst song ever written, with the worst lyrics ever. Did you ever have to suffer through the Richard Harris' version? I felt like actively seeking a knife to sever an artery.
mikeat 3-17-2008
wat about, "shawdy is hot like a toaster" i mean come on who compais people to toasters (worst song ever and if u disagree u don't no good music
Jimat 3-18-2008
What about john Lennon's
"yellow matter custurd dropping from a dead dogs eye"?
tomat 10-20-2009
you got it right Jim that is the dumbest lyric ever. Lennon must have been on the most drugs in history to think of that.

Thin Lizzie's "They Boys Are Back In Town"
You know what I mean.
