Popular Songs With Terrible Lyrics (1 Viewer)

So if they are all basically the same song, who copied who? 🤔
There are approximately 6,372 rock songs written in those 3 chords.

Skynard was 1970
Seager came up with his in 1976
Zevon 1977

But that’s like asking who copied the color orange. It’s a color, man. Ain’t no copying a color.

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard

:confused:

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

I mean, these are birthmarks. Right?

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Church can be weird.

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Whoooh Whoooh
Whoooh Whoooh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
 
I didn’t read the whole thread - but this song is number one on my list.

Heart - All I want to do is make love to you.

When he came into sight
Standing by the road
No umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side
And I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile
So we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name
This lonely boy in the rain
Fate, tell me it's right, is this love at first sight?
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night

All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel
It was a place I knew well
We made magic that night
Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me
So many times, easily
And in the mornin' when he woke
All I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower, you are the seed
We walked in the garden, we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to, oh
Ooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day
We came 'round the same way
You can imagine his surprise
When he saw his own eyes
I said, "Please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me, oh-oh
Was the one little thing that you can"

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
C'mon, say you will, you want me, too

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will, baby, want me too
All night long (all I wanna do is make love to you)
All night long (all I wanna do)
All night long (all I wanna do is make love to you)
All night long (all I wanna do)
All I wanna do (is make love to you)
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew, yeah (all I wanna do)
(All I wanna do is make love to you)
All night long (all I wanna do)
All night long

So, to summarize:
A slut picks up a stranger, begs for sex, goes to her regular skanking spot, decides to cheat because her partner is infertile and yells OMG many times.

She then instantly knows in the morning that she is pregnant, writes the most bizarre post hook-up letter EVER. Boasts weird metaphors for sex and getting pregnant, but “ forget me and don’t find me” - mmmmmkay pumpkin.

Our victim then is in the area, finds out he got one past the goalie and she justifies it by saying - well my hubby shoots blanks - so please understand I thought this was normal.

and fade out….

I used to work in a place that played this 3 times a day. It’s the ultimate WTF song.

Was just stuck in traffic, listening to the radio in Albuquerque, the Van Hagar song “ why can’t this be love?” Came on.

I’ll preface this by saying I don’t hate Van Halen with Sammy Hagar singing. I don’t think it’s as good as Van Halen with David Lee Roth, but that’s another story for another day.

Relevant to this topic, and what is otherwise a pretty rockin song, Sammy bust out the lyric “Only time will tell if we’ll stand the test of time”.

Honestly, it’s about as deep as something the Sphinx says in mystery men.

Cmon Sammy. :doh:

Van Halen >>>>> Van Hagar

But Sammy was also better on his own than he was with VH imo. People wrongly blame him for the VH synth sound, but did they listen to 1984?

And Sammy with Michael Anthony and Joe Satriani playing (even old school) Van Halen is pretty fantastic, too, for what it is at this age. Especially given how shot Roth's voice has been for a while now.

Yeah, I saw them on the 5150 tour at Candlestick headlining Monsters of Rock. Metallica Master of Puppets tour.

The VH songs with Sammy were ok. But like 4 weeks later we saw David Lee Roth on Eat ‘em & Smile - Billy Sheehan on Bass, Vai on guitar, I forget who their drummer was but he was a monster. When they played VH songs they TORE THE ROOF OFF OF THAT MOTHER.

I saw Sammy when he was the red rocker, on the “I can’t drive 55” tour. Zebra opened. One of the absolute best shows I’ve ever seen. 3 lock box is such a great song live. I’d never heard of Zebra - that band’s 1st album is so good. They blew me away. I still listen to them. Apparently they influenced a bunch of bands/artists over the years. Dream Theater covered “take my fingers from your hair” and it was pretty epic.

For Roth's 1st three solo albums and accompanying tours, his drummer was Gregg Bissonette, who is indeed incredible. I guess he's been a member of Ringo Starr's all star band for a while now.

Not everything can rhyme with Cabo Wabo

I think I was just tricked into listening to that awful song.
I'm not hearing "Night Moves" at all in there.

Alabama and Werewolves chord progression is D-C-G
The main riff in Night Moves is G#-F#-C#

That’s the dude. Monster.

Also not for nuthin, Billy Sheehan & Vai each took a solo, and they also teamed up for a “dueling solos” segment. It was some of the most absurdly fantastic playing I’ve ever witnessed.
 
Cake By the Ocean comes to mind.
I love Cake. Seen them many times. They have such a vibe, I can’t hate on their lyrics.

I think he meant this.


Cake has great lyrics. I want a girl "with fingernails that shine like justice . . . "

Short Skirt/Long Jacket is actually really clever and witty

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
WIth fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack
She is touring the facilities and picking up slack


Etc.

All their songs are great. Bucket Seats is a classic too.

His brother Matt, is in the center of the "current" REO Speedwagon demise.

I say "current" because the true demise came when Gary Richrath was kicked from the band.

I thought they’d died in the 80s, so show’s what I know. Sometimes ya gotta roll with the changes. :shrug:

Also not for nuthin, they’re from Sacramento. When I was working part time in an animation cell art store going to night school, their manager came in to buy a gift for one of the guy’s birthdays. Kicked me a CD. It was Fashion Nugget like 3 months before the band dropped a single.

My friends all thought it rocked & they’d be big - we were all kinda right. The next time I saw them was at the Live 105 BFD. Cake, Garbage, Silversun Pickups, Naked & Famous, Neon Trees, Jane’s Addiction & so many other bands - I think it was 2012?

Epic show.

ETA - it might have been one of the band’s GF’s? This was the late 90s & my memory of that time is a bit fuzzy.
