Worst lyric?

For my money, Canibus won that one. He even got Mike Tyson on his diss song:

 

It was solid...I even bought the single. But, LL was all over him...wasn't really clever about it, more dominating than anything.

 

Eminem had a solid Canibus diss too:

 

It really depends, I suppose, on what streets you're talking about. Keith probably just used the phrase more as a cliche than anything else.

 

Can't believe I'm forgetting a whole genre of horrible lyrics, namely late 80s through mid 90s hair metal!

The classic daily double, from the song Naughty Naughty by (of course) Danger Danger, which only was repeated about 42 times in a 2-minute song:
"Let's get naughty naughty
Down & dirty
Naughty naughty
Oh I like it that way"

Or the Bulletboys, who apparently couldn't think of anything to say besides "Smooth Up In Ya" for an entire song, except for maybe 12 lines:
"Don't let your lovin' go to waste/All it takes is just one date/ Oh I send shivers
Smooth up in ya
Smooth up in ya
(Smooth up in ya)"....continue with that for a while.

One more: Warrant's "Down Boys," which starts: "Certain things you do Really make me mad I must confess/The way the streetlight silhouttes your thighs inside your dress"

 

how can you have a thread about bad rap lyrics without the infamous Willie D? You're missing true gems like this:

'So if you're talking shit about the Gulf Coast
Suck a dead man's dick until you're comatose

And if a cop want to blast, we can blast
I'm a Tupac Shakur his ass'

No one can top 'The Clean-Up Man.'

 

Say you dont know me or recognize my face
Say you dont care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, dont you remember
We built this city ...

 

Out-fucking-standing.

And how many BYH types out there loved it when their local radio station inserted their own little bit into that song (like the mighty Q107 in Toronto did)?

 

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin the town and doin it right
In the evenin
Its pretty pleasin

Muskrat susie, muskrat sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And sammys so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin on cheese
Sammy says to susie honey, would you please be my missus?
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now hes ticklin her fancy
Rubbin her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

 

Can't believe it took until Page 8 for someone to put that one on here. That entire song -- which everyone remembers -- is truly horrible for lyrics.
Oh, and that Willie D lyric was damn pathetic too. Nice work.

 

Thought of this moment about 30 minutes ago in Ocean State Job Lot. They didn’t have what I went there for, first time I’ve ever been in Job Lot, and will likely never go again, but this song came on the store radio and it reminded me of IJAG’s reply.

… the kind you buy in a second hand store.

 

And then one day you find,
Fifteen years have got behind you


... I actually remember making the post on Zager and Evans. August 7, 2008.

Gas had just hit $4.00 a gallon. We thought the worst was over.
