For fun: What do you think the dumbest song lyric of all time is?

[rpmdfw]

Then we've got:
Shannon (the dead dog song)
Excape (the Pina Colada song)
Oh gaaawd and Helen Reddy had a few-
Delta Dawn
Angie Baby
Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)

Yep. Love ALL of those, too!

How about my least favorite lyrics of all time

"She thinks my tractor's sexy."

Makes me wanna vomit.

Toby Keith makes me want to

 

[L&Lfan]

Helen Reddy rules! And I love Vicki Lawrence's ode to little sister and her gun!
All those '70s songs mentioned above are CLASSICS!

[wallyb]

Oh What a Lonely Boy
It's Sad to Belong to Someone Else When the Right One Comes Along
Imaginary Lover
Hot Child in the City
Afternoon Delight

These are more 70's songs and possibly
an editorial on how I'm feeling!

....Then there's Muskrat Love...

Who did "Ode to Billie Jo"

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Bobbi Gentry. And I can't believe I knew that!

 

[Vijoge]

"Someone left the cake out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it. 'Cause it took so long to make it. And I'll never have that recipe again... Ohhhh Nooooooooooo" (MacArthur Park - Richard Harris/Donna Summer et. al.)

Ok, I'll agree with this one. .

"Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Was a good friend of mine. Never understood a single word he said, but I helped him-a drink his wine. Yes, he always had a mighty fine wine. Singing, 'Joy to the World - all the boys and girls, now. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, joy to you and me' (3 Dog Night - Joy to the World)

But surely not this! I love this song. The first concert I ever went to was a Three Dog Night Concert.

 

[foxysilver]

Melanie C
"I can't live without my phone, and you don't even have a home"
-If That Were Me

It's a song about homelessness, and I just though that was a very poor analogy. Although she is one of my favorites

 

[rpmdfw]

"I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates, you've got a brand new key . . . ."

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I've got a love hate relationship
with a few old "story songs"

Seasons in the sun.
The night the lights when out in Georgia.
Delta Dawn

Um, these are on my list of classic favorite songs. I was a little kid when they were popular. I can remember that Delta Dawn was the first "adult" song that I knew all of the lyrics to and I would sit in the basement on the Vista Cruiser waiting for the washer or the dryer to finish running singing it at the top of my lungs. The Night that the Lights went out in GA was probably the second song that I learned and sang. I also really liked Cats in the Cradle and Baby, Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me.

one line isn't enough!


Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
I got love in my tummy,
And I feel like a-lovin you:
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And that's just a-what I'm gonna do.
Ooh love, to hold ya,
Ooh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
Ooh love, I wont let you go.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I got love in my tummy,
And as silly as it may seem;
The lovin' that you re giving,
is what keeps me livin'
And your love is like
Peaches and cream.
Kind-a like sugar,
Kind-a like spices,
Kind-a like, like what you do.
Kind-a sounds funny.
But love,honey
Honey. I love you.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I. got love in my tummy,
That your love can satisfy;
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And sweet thing, that ain't no lie.
I love to hold ya,
Oh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
Ooh love, I wont let you go.

How about my least favorite lyrics of all time

"She thinks my tractor's sexy."

Makes me wanna vomit.

Toby Keith makes me want to

Ok, first it was Kenny Chesney that sang "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" and I really like the song. For the reason that follows....


When I was in college, one of my many roommates was from a total hick town in BFE GA. She was a total redneck with big hair and used a ton of AquaNet everyday. She was a real character too. She actually would tell you that she lost her virginity to a John Deere tractor. Before you get all EEEEEWWWW about it, let me tell you that it was due to a bicycle accident. When she was about 7 years old, she went flying off of her bike and landed spread eagle onto a piece of a John Deere tractor equipment that tills up the land and it caused her to need reconstructive plastic surgery to rebuild her genitals. OUCH! Now, to make matters even odder, she had a boyfriend in college who's favorite band was named Love Tractor. So, they would wear John Deere shirts to the concerts.

By the time the years rolled on and the Kenny Chesney song came out, I had almost completely forgotten about my old roommate. Now, it's just a funny reminder of someone from my past.

PS. I can't stand Toby Keith either.

Lucky you were born that far away
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that i love a foreign man for
The lucky fact of your existance
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
So many ways to love somebody


Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le
Can't you see...I'm at your feet


Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear


You're over, you're under
You'll never have to wonder


We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear


Lucky that my lips not only mumble
they spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when i need it
And these two eyes are for no other
The day you leave will cry a river


Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le


At your feet...I'm at your feet


Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
You're over, you're under
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear


Le ro lo le lo le
Le ro lo le lo le


We can fly, say it again


Le ro lo le lo le lo le


Tell me one more time
That you're there
Lost in my eyes


Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
You're over, you're under
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel


Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
You're over, you're under
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

The whole song is odd, but I am actually shocked that it had not already been mentioned.

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
I got love in my tummy...

YUP. Pretty dang awful...

 

[L&Lfan]

AWWWW, you guys have never had love in your tummy?

Shakira's lyrics in Spanish are just as bizarre!

Anybody know this classic from 1977...the angel in your arms this morning is gonna be the devil in someone else's arms tonight you go, girl!

"Everybody Wang Chung Tonight!" What exactly do I have to do to be considered Wang Chunging?

Last weekend I made my wifey a CD of love songs for our annivesary (7 years of wedded bliss! ) and I put Chesney's "She thinks my tractor's sexy" on it. She looks soooo hot mowing that lawn! Love that song!
