Pop stars get away with a lot of some nonsense lyrics.
“Doo be doo be doo
I love you”
”Shal la la
Drive my car”
We all know one
Mind you, it’s funny how subjective it all it. I just did a quick search for “worst pop lyrics” and landed on a list article from Forbes.
As I could have probably guessed, I agreed with some of the picks on their list but the inclusion of others leave you gasping “No! that is genius”
Two examples of the latter: First the lyrics from ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua: “I’m a Barbie girl/in the Barbie world/Life in plastic, it’s fantastic/You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere.”
What’s the problem here exactly? This stuff is fire.
Also, the article picks on Right Said Fred, describing the line “I’m too sexy for my shirt” as “One of the worst and stupidest lines ever written.”. Nah. The line is class.
Once again, I reckon this is middle-class people mistaking fun for trash.
Although, I do have to agree with them on ‘The Thong Song’ and ‘American Bad Ass’ which are both absolute stinkers. What’s your all time “favourite” worst lyrics?
