Most ******* Lyric Ever

For most seventies lyric ever, I nominate "...blowin' through the jasmine in my mind," by Seals & Croft, from their song "Summer Breeze," long a summer favorite of cooby.

For most eighties lyric ever, I nominate "You don't have to watch Dyansty to have an attitude" by Prince & the Revolution, from their song "Kiss," covered to mostly positive effect by the likes of Age of Chance and Art of Noise Featuring Tom Jones.

Most Insensitive Lyric Ever:

I nominate Two Out of Three Ain't Bad by Meatloaf.

The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here


He has just gotten done telling his girlfriend that not only does he not love her, there ain't no way he's ever going to love her. Still, he doesn't want to go. Why? Because it's snowing. And what kind of insensitive bitch would make him leave, when it's fucking snowing.

Most Veiled Threat Lyric

From Three Doors Down's song Kryptonite -


You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down



You never did appreciate all I've done for you. Maybe there's a limit....

Re: Most ******* Lyric Ever

For most "Um... um... oh, fuck it" lyric of all time, your nominees:

-- Peter Cetera, "Glory of Love": Like a knight in shining armor... from a long time ago ("All right, all right, what can we... 'From the Mid-dle A-ges?' 'From a Ho-ly Cru-sade?' 'From a more feu-dal ti--' oh, just... let's move on.")

-- America, "Horse With No Name": There were plants and birds and rocks and things... (C'mon, man. Dirt? Sand? Bugs? Wolves? Wolves are cool, right?)

-- Barenaked Ladies, "Pinch Me": I could hide out under there... I just made you say, "underwear"

And your, um, winner:

-- Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Around the World": I know, I know, for sure/ding ding dang ding ding ding don ding don dang

Inspirational...


There are a couple that I used to have printed on my computer monitor for when I needed a boost.

First is from Mathew West's "More"

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you more

And the other is from Newsboys, and I have it on my running playlist, timed for about two-thirds of the way through a 5K when I need to tough it out and kick it up a little:

Stay strong
You are not lost
Come on and fix your eyes ahead
There's a new dawn to light our day, our day
You've gotta stay strong
You and I run
For the prize that lies ahead
We've come too far to lose our way, our way

Best shitty lyric that's also a chorus that doesn't really rhyme

It's no fun
Being an illegal alien

Re: Most ******* Lyric Ever

It's not-really-rhyming, in another context, might have been the goofiness that redeemed it. But as an attempted song of solidarity, tossing off goofy-assed non-rhymes just feels condescending.

I think Phil missed again on that one.

Most Spot On Parody Lyric Ever.

From Weird Al Yankovic's Star Wars based parody Yoda, sung to Lola -


I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployed

Most moot lyric ever, Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl".

I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute
I wanna tell her that I love her
But the point is probably moot

Re: Most ******* Lyric Ever

The most perfectly descriptive lyric:

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?
