    The 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 19

    "Lucky that my breasts
    Are small and humble
    So you don't confuse
    Them with mountains"

    --Shakira's 'Whenever, Wherever'

    The woman makes a lot of sense. And lucky that Sacagawea wasn't more buxom or Lewis and Clark might not have found the Pacific.

    *snortgiggle* I never knew Superman was a pioneer. Lewis and Clark were explorers who reached the Pacific ocean...

    Ok so the girl can't write in English... obviously... so why couldn't she seek the help of an a writer whose profession is writing lyrics in the English language?? COME ON. This is the kind of CRAP that is crowding up playlist space at radio stations! Girl can't sing, THINKS she can play guitar and the only thing she does is belly dance! Who cares if she scored Grammys... those aren't worth shit, look at the people they hand them to?! COMPLETE IDIOTS... (for the most part...)

    This line is actually a translation from the Spanish song, which makes more sense in context.

    But ... Lois and Clark. Priceless. Thank you Rosa.

    i like her music...and i am more interested in metal, rock, goth, & even a nice blend of all three genres. Shakira has talent and she is down to earth. she is a good belly dancer as well. she has more talent than the likes of some of those pop stars of the millenium. And good looks, too!!

    ..."only thing she does is belly dance!"
    oh yeah, belly dancing is very easy, so easy that a caveman can do it...yeah right!!!! i CANNOT pull off what Shakira can pull off. i am sure some others cannot pull that off as well.

    My english is not good but,i clearly understand what this lyrics say, and if someone don't understand is because he/she is retarded or is pretending to be.I love her as singer,song writer and she moves her hips
    as no one else,and those "men" who wrote bad comments on her should just get out the closet.

    I hope #15 realizes he's the only "idiot" when he finally figures out the reference "Lewis and Clark" is for the Explorers and not for a TV show.

    Rock On Shakira!

    WHY? thats what I got to say. Did she get an award for that? was that her breakout song? Please, please tell me it isn't so..............I just heard about that on the 10 worst lyrics on a local radio station about 3 days ago, and I thought the dj was kidding............

    I love these lyrics! They appeal to the majority of flat-breasted America. Also, Shakira is a genius and has been writing poetry since a young age. I hate these stupid lists that Spinner makes they are always WAY off. They are good to read if you wanna have an aneurysm.

    She's saying "Good thing I'm not the typical, voluptious supermodel or you might mistake me as thing to be conquered—mountains, get to the top of the mountain, claim your territory—as opposed to a real human being." It'a a great line, unless you're a man into completely one-dimensional women. It's really not that hard to decipher, people. It's not cryptic or a case of bad English. Does noone remember their grammar school lessons? All metaphors are going to sound ridiculous if taken in a literal context.

    You know that everyband/star writes a song they may regret or is not as popular as the rest. That's why there is a fast forward button. You don't throw away the album because of one song you don't like.

    People don't think when they write their lyrics, ex. Fly on the Wall by Miley Cyrus, "Don't you wish you could be a fly on the wall, a creepy little sneaky little fly on the wall" The way she dances is worse than what britteny spears wore for concerts! Not only that but Miley can not sing, unlike her father, Miley has given a new term to "white trash" as nothing of her songs/videos are what people my age dont need!!
