Least favorite line from a song?

Harry Chapin's Cats in the Cradle song about the boy growing up and having no time for his dad just like his dad had no time for him makes me cry every time. It even made me cry as a little kid.

Also, that horrible song "Takin Care of Business" reminds me of a horrible date I had and the horrible movie I saw with Jim Belushi when I was in high school--MUST change the channel when those 2 songs come on!

The clown one reminded me of this one:

"Baby cried the day the circus came to town..."

I am an Eminem fan and I think he is a talented lyricist. But then he throws in some insanely crude line in what otherwise would have been nice poetry and it makes me cringe.

I will be kind enough not to offer up specific lyrics.

Thankfully, it is only a couple of songs from each album that I skip over.

Hate that entire song called "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones. Anytime my husband wants to tease me, he sings the first line (She's just sixteen years old, leave her alone, they say). Pervy. Ew. Ick.

Ugh, I'd forgotten that song and why I hated it so much.

I would like to add the entire Heart song "All I Want To Do Is Make Love to You." So freaking icky!

Anything by Celine Dion. The cheese makes me want to gag.

"Hey little girl is your daddy home,
Did he go and leave you all alone,
Ahm. I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire"

Bruce Springsteen. This song grosses me out.

Hands down, Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney:

"But in this ever changing world in which we live in"

Can't help it. Brings out the grade school grammar teacher in me.

My Funny Valentine. This song is meant to be sweet and ultimately feel-good, but these lines always depress me. Like, "you're butt ugly and stupid, however you amuse me and I enjoy banging you." :



"Your looks are laughable

Un-photographable

Yet you're my favorite work of art.


Is your figure less than Greek?

Is your mouth a little weak?

When you open it to speak, are you smart?" .....

Yes, we could add "Hey 19" by Steely Dan.

I can't imagine interpreting this song that way. To me, it's the ultimate expression of "I love you just the way you are."

Suzanne Vega - I HATE her.

My name is Luca.
I live on the second floor.
I live upstairs from you.
Yes i think you've seen me before.

"More than Words" by Extreme is so grammatically mangled, it just drives me crazy. A sampling:

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you

and

More than words is all I ever needed you to show.
