Taxing Lyrical
On the radio station that I listen to they're doing [URL=http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/events/lyrical/index.shtml]a thing about the worst lyrics ever[/URL]. You had to send cringe-worthy lyrics in and now there's a shortlist of ten to vote from.
So I thought this could be a thing for us Culties to talk about. Not the aforementioned shortlist but our own loathed lyrics, lines so bad you've gotta switch the radio off if you know they're coming.
Hmm? Maybe. Come on.
Okay fine, I'll start. A hit from a few years ago, [I]All Rise[/I] by Blue tells the story of a young man who's been cuckolded and they've brought the case to court...I shit you not. So there's the usual jilted lover stuff, interpsersed with courtroom terminology. Try to track it down and hear it if you can but here are a few examples:
"But if you think you had me fooled,
I'm telling you now, objection overrruled"
"I'm gonna tell it to your face
I rest my case"

"I didn´t mean to miss your birthday baby
I wish I´ve seen you blown those candles out"
From "I´ll be there for you" by Bon Jovi... That part of the lirycs must be one of the most stupid ones I have ever read or hear. ANY other thing would have been better.
Or maybe it was a love song written by 8 years olds kids.
I have some but it's a polish songs so you don't give a fuck about it anyway...
