The whole worse 80's lyrics thread, got me thinking, what are the worse lyrics from songs, that from the 90's?

There's one part of Wilson Phillips "Hold On", which makes me think of standing in a long line to the public bathroom  :P

My brother always thought Brian McKnight's "Back At One" had a rather stupid line (bolded).

One... you're like a dream come true...
Two... just wanna be with you...
Three... girl it's plain to see... that your the only one for me...
Four... repeat steps one through three...
Five... make you fall in love with me...

Good one Audkal... nice song but I HATE that corny line!  ;D

More craptastic lyrics... Joey Lawrence "Nothing My Love Can't Fix".

"But lately you been acting
Like I smell like a zoo"

Also, anyone remember Omar's "There's Nothing Like This"?

I hated the line "Sip a glass of cold champagne wine".

Hehe, thanks.  ;D

I don't think I've heard the songs you posted but yeah...still weird lines, especially the Joey Lawrence one, lol.

My brothers and I never figured out what the hell Shawn Mullins meant in this line from "Rockabye"--

I told her I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
Seems like everyone here's got a plan
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan

:P

Like Nashville, a lot of singer/songwriters, but the temp in Los Angeles is warmer and more sun than (on average) in Nashville ?

Bad lyrics from the '90s and no one mentions this one ?

Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bulls eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

-- 1990's Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice

Ninja, Ninja, RAP! Ninja, Ninja, RAP!
GO GO GO
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO; Go Ninja, Go ninja, GO!
Go Ninja, Go Ninja. GO; Go Ninja, Go ninja, GO!
GO GO GO GO!

;D

latoya jackson
he is my brother

Out on stage he's electric
When he dances it's just like magic
And you know when he starts to sing (OhOhOh!)

He is reaching the world with his music
Bad and Thriller, he's still the Man in The Mirror
'Cause he's good to ME!
and I know (and I know)
and I know 'cause he loves me so


'Cause he is my brother (He's my Brother)
Whenever he has to he's heavy
'Cause he is my brother (Oh Yeah)
He gives me emotion in plenty

When I'm alone...
...and I need him
He's with me like lightning
'Cause he is my brother
and I love (and I love)
and I love yes i love him so

(MJ Bad sample)

He's not bad!
(He-He-He's not bad!)
Oww~!

Kentucky Fried Chicken!
Zombie Franchise!

Fa-a-a-a-ace the facts.
My train of thought is goin' off its tracks,
My reality is stranger than my fiction,
Gonna have a facelift and take a course in diction.

Kickin' ass!  Kickin' ass!  Macho chickens from the upper class!
Kickin' ass!  Kickin' ass!  Macho chickens in the underpass!

I keep my thoughts in the microwave,
They're a little overheated, but at least they're safe,
I got a tiger in the trunk of my automobile,
Though he should be in the tank or at the steering wheel,
You're always told to shake your body and sedate your brain,
(Heh-huh-hawwww) - isn't that insane?

Kickin' ass!  Kickin' ass!  Macho chickens from the upper class!
Kickin' ass!  Kickin' ass!  Macho chickens in the underpass!

Kentucky Fried Chicken!

I was gonna go with Ice's Play that Funky Music...

Oh my God homeboy; you probably eat spaghetti with a spoon


And as much as I love TLC... and I really do love TLC there are lines from two songs that bug me a bit

Diggin' on You
For some apparent reason
Monkey lines are now in season

and 2002's Girl Talk
Thinkin' you got powers like Austin
But you're more like Mini Me

Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm  by the Crash Test Dummies  (even though for some odd reason Ive always really liked that song)


but MUCH worse has to be MC Hammer's  "Pray"  that went something like this:

Gospel type backing vocalists:  pray, pray, pray, PRAY, PRAY, pray, pray....

MC:  We've got to pray just to make it today...........

Gospel backing vocalists:  pray, pray, pray, PRAY, PRAY, pray, pray....

MC:  We've got to pray just to make it today...........

.......basically the same thing over and over and over ad nauseum for 5 minutes, but Ill give him a little credit at least it was completely original music unlike "U Cant Touch This"

The lyrics for 2 Legit To Quit are pretty bad.

At least "2 Legit To Quit" is a great comeback line for why you can't or won't stop doing something.
"Why? Because I'm..."

::)

"Pray" by MC Hammer wasn't original music. It was sampled from "When Doves Cry" by Prince.

Lots of awful songs in the 90s, but Soundgarden's "Spoonman" stands out as really awful:

"Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me

All my friends are Indians
All my friends are brown and red, Spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones,
Spoonman

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, Spoonman"

Easily Soundgarden's worst song, and possibly the worst grunge song that got regular airplay. The last verse makes me want to puke it's so awful.

The lyrics to "I Missed The Bus".

::)  ;D

 SONG:         Shock Your Mama.
 Performed by: Debbie Gibson.
 Written by:   Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers and Deborah Gibson.

VERSE1:
So ya ready to learn?
Baby I'm here to teach you
Things you've only done in your dreams
Boy you have only touched
The tip of the iceberg
I'll meet you at the other extreme
In a different world,
I'm a different girl
You'll see me in a darker light
More than meets the eye
Come along for the ride
Hold on tight 'cause I just might

CHORUS:
Shock your mama
Shock Shock your mama baby
Shock your mama
Shock Shock your mama baby
Shock your mama
Shock Shock your mama baby
Shock your mama tonight

VERSE2:
You picked me up at eight,
For dinner at nine
Baby where did that hour go?!?
Your mother thinks I'm cool
And everything's fine
Boy the things that she doesn't know
While she's servin dinner I'll be servin' time
Counting minutes 'til we're alone
I've got another menu and I'll show you when you
Give me the time, we'll spill the wine
We're gonna

BREAK:
If anyone thinks we're movin' too fast
Tell the whole world the can kiss my..

CHORUS

RAP: (Oh My!)
I'm not talkin' about your mama
But I'm hoping that if you wanna
We could go on a trip
Would it be hip, baby!?!
We could go to the stars
Venus and Mars
Maybe we could find another kind of love
That's different than ours
Lovin' that knows no boundaries, I found a reason
Love that has no limits
Or no gimmicks or no jealousy within it
Mama don't allow the kind of things that I've been saying'
The games that I've been playin'
The hearts that I've been swaying in my direction
It's heading straight into your heart
And my suggestion is that you better do your part
And don't worry if you shock .... your mama
( And your Daddy too! )

SHOCK BREAK:
Shock it 'til ya drop
I'm gonna shock shock
Shock it baby don't ever stop

VERSE3:
Though I'm all good news in my Sunday shoes
I'm gonna wear you out on Saturday night
So know your fact from your fable, look before you label
'Cause I cook a different meal
On someone else's table that will...
Later...... much
