Posted: Sat May 05, 2007 7:47 am Post subject: Worst Singing Lyric |
|
|
A vote for the worst lyric in pop has awarded the dubious title to soul singer Des'ree's hit Life.
The offending lines are "I don't want to see a ghost/It's the sight that I fear most/I'd rather have a piece of toast/Watch the evening news".
Listeners to Marc Riley's BBC6 Music show have been voting for the past three weeks on a top 10 list of shame.
1. Des'ree - Life
2. Snap - Rhythm is a Dancer
3. Razorlight - Somewhere Else
4. ABC - That Was Then But This is Now
5. U2 - Elevation
6. Toto - Africa
7. Oasis - Champagne Supernova
8. Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know?
9. Human League - The Lebanon
10. Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Snap should have won, purely on the grounds of tastelessness alone! _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Now, I love TREX but have you read some of those lyrics - whoah boy! _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

Too many doo-doos in the Des'ree song too. I used to call it 'The doo-doo song' _________________ Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack. |

what about Ricky Martins "you talk to me you give me the news, you wear me out like a pair of shoes" from La Vida Loca.
That line makes me laugh every time. |
