This is a perfect lyric...idiotic as it may be.
Yes, only time WILL tell if you will stand the test of TIME.
Duh.

Not anything against Shakira, but really "Underneath Your Clothes" has to be one of the most mawkish and embarrassing lyrics I can think of. "Underneath your clothes/ There's an endless story..." (Oh, yeah -- and what "endless story" is that? Stephen King's The Stand? Uh... Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead?? Goldilocks and the Three Bears??) and then it only gets worse when she sings "There's the man I chose/There's my territory" (And now what -- you want a medal? Your "territory"...? You gonna drill for oil? Plant alfalfa?) and "all the things I deserve for being such a good girl"... ugh. TMI. If you're "such a good girl" then why am I being subjected to your self-congratulatory lyrics? If i heard that one at a wedding I'd pray to be invited to the divorce proceedings as well.

In "Jack and Diane" he mentions sucking a chili dog, what is a chili dog anyway?

I cant remember who sang it but the stupidest lyric I know of is: "this magic moment when your lips are close to mine, will last forever, forever to the end of time."

So forever only lasts until the end of time? I guess it really isn't forever. In any case why would anyone want to have their lips eternally close to someone else's lips? Sort of like going through life and eternity as conjoined twins.

Come on - the worst line ever is even the worst title of a song ever: "25 or 6 to 4". Love Chicago, but what the sense does that make?

Dan Hill's

Sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much.

This song has at least twelve more solid nominees, but this was as much as I could touch ... honestly.

(Willis Alan Ramsey) - The Captain and Tennille
Muskrat, Muskrat, candle light
Doin' the town and doin' it right in the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug at a Muskrat Land
And they shimmy, Sam is so skinny

And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singin' and jinglin' a jangle
Float like the heavens above
Looks like Muskrat Love
-------------------------//-----------------------------
The MOST fucked up song ever!
Just what the world needed,a song about rodents boning.

If we stand the test of time.").
