Dumbest Lyric Ever!!

[mattyj]

They had 'Rage' on at work the other morning and it was quiet in the Lab so i was in the smoko room, and the song "I wish i was a punk rocker" by Sandy Thom came on, first time i had heard it, and yeh i know im probably behind the times but the line

"I wish i was a punk rocker, with flowers in my hair"

Stupidest Line Ever!! Im a bit of a punk myself and i have never met a punk who wears flowers in their hair, thats hippies not punks!!!

Any other lines u can think of to top that one?

For ages, I thought she was saying "I wish I was a prawn cracker.." Weird.

I thought it was "punk rock girl" which actually would make more sense to me

 

[mattyj]

I checked it on one of the lyrics sites, they are saying 'punk rocker'

on a side note, "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen, awesome song, download it if you havent heard it

i think you missed the point matty, she goes on to say "in 77 and 69, revolution was in the air". 77 (the birth of punk) and 69 (the era of hippies), which correlates with the opening line. she wishes she was around during these times of great social upheaval, rather than today. thats why she says "i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair".

anyway, cant believe im standing up for the song cos i hate it anyway

bad lyrics that stood out for me are the lyrics from Weezer's latest album. really bad and amateurish, like the kind of lyrics that take 5 minutes to write. The emotions behind them might be heartfelt and real, but still they are like a teenager wrote them...Exhibit A, a song called 'My Best Friend':


When everything is wrong I'll come talk to you
You make things alright when I'm feeling blue

You are such a blessing and I wont be messing
with the one thing that brings light to all of my darkness

You are my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do

There is no other one that can take your place
I feel happy inside when I see your face
I hope you believe me
Because I speak sincerely
and I mean it when I tell you I need you

You are my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do

I'm here right beside you
I will never leave you
and I feel the pain you feel when you start crying

You are my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do

You are my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do
Yes I do...
Yes I do

LOL thank you for clearing that up Jez

and yeh Weezer went kinda soft didnt they?

I like their weird early stuff, like Undone The Sweater Song and El Scorcho etc

yeah jza's got the idea but i don't mind that song anyway theres a song on a single think it's lump called twig in the wind by the presidents of the usa, now i know they always have stupid lyrics but this song takes the cake
creepy weepy willow pillow boggy s--t
transing down big wheel can ya feel it
i got a chicky face down drippin so damn hard
his head splits open stuff and spills out into the car
cup of dirty water and a lonely bonely frog
slip me 7 dollars and i'll pump it full of smog

and it just keeps going like that
