Stupid song lyrics

[michelew]

I'm listening to some new artists at the moment. One of them is a young edgy Australian rocker by the name of Dallas Frasca. She's pretty cool. I've been enjoying her stuff. But when I heard her sing "...got to find the gooder way..." (Ain't No Fury - from her 2012 album Sound Painter) I cracked up and my brain went " What!? Gooder? What the hell is wrong with 'better'" it's still a cool song, but 'gooder'!?

OK I just showed my age I'm sure.

Got any other examples of stupid lyrics?

You mean, like the entire Michael Jackson collection?
Or Middle of the Road's Chripy, Chirpy Cheep Cheep?
Or The Sweet's Blockbuster
Or Lulu's Bang, Bang a Boom
Or McCartney's Bang, Bang Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Or, dare I? Justin Hayward's immortal line in Question:

And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love I knew could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
To learn as we grow old the secrets of our souls

....these days he sings, your soul

Okay, here’s a good (gooder?) example … The 2nd verse of Greg Lake’s “Still You Turn Me On”

Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head
Do you want to be the feathers lying on my bed
Do you want to be the cover of a magazine
Create a scene

Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder

I love the song but I can’t help but cringe when singing the words “Someone get me a ladder”

Mike Oldfield, Moonlight Shadow:

"Four A.M. in the morning"

One for the Department of Redundancy Department...

America's Horse with No Name:

In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one FOR to give you no pain

I hate it when lazy songwriters need to fill a syllable, and just grab the first word that comes to mind. Aside from that, the above line makes absolutely no sense anyway.

I kinda remember Steve Martin doing a bit about that particular line. America is one of my favorite bands but this may not have been their best moment. Cool tune though.

Good examples guys.

Thanks for playing.
