For about 6 years I’d been toying with the idea of creating a site with some kind of voting system for the worst lyrics in Music History
I got as far as creating a list of my personal favourites in this criteria.
On a jaunt through wikipedia I found a link to a recent poll by Radio DJ’s Mark & Lard (aka Mark Radcliffe and Mark Riley) and am pleased to say that my number one tallies with their result for number one!

Their list:

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

My List:

1. Des’ree ‘Life’ (toast/ghost/most rhyme)
2. Europe ‘The Final Countdown’ (heading to venus verse)
3. Crowded House ‘Weather with you’ (always take the weather…)
4. Elton John ‘Your Song’ (2nd verse)
5. Lyte Funkie Ones ‘Summer Girls’ (hits/sick/fitch rhyme)
6. Feeder ‘Buck Rogers’ (he’s got a brand new car/cider from a lemon)
7. Feeder ‘Just the way I’m feeling’ (10 feet below the ground)
8. Everclear ‘I will buy you a new life’ (I will buy you a new garden/car – shiny & new)
9. Depeche Mode ‘Everything Counts’ (career/korea/insincere rhyme)
10. The Beautiful South ‘Don’t Marry Her’ (Your love light shines like cardboard)

I’m sure there are probably better (ie worse) ones, but unless I actually get round to creating the site we may never know

I haven’t been posting much on the blog of late because I’ve been spending an unhealthy time on facebook
