It's Friday, its raining again, though not, I am pleased to say, men. I took the morning train, I have work from 9 to 5 and then, I'll take another home again. And I have my son's 6th birthday party tomorrow, when 20 of the little bless'ems will be descendng on my newly painted house. However, I don't mind as I believe that children are our future.
However, this means I am in the mood for some gratuitous finger-pointing at other people's artistic output. Anyway, in the UK a couple of years ago, they run a worst lyric competition which was won by Des'ree with:
I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most.
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Which is pretty toe-curlingly bad, I admit.
But I am sure we can do better.

Gunther Levi - DING DONG SONG
The film clip for that song is hysterical
Yeah..yeah..
"rock" lyrics have got to be the worst of all time. A lot of the time just there to fill in a certain dynamic in the song, to do a little "la,la" or "yeah,yeah" for that part of the song.
Most of them should of left it at that - it's when they start to trying to put words to that part of the song where it starts to go horribly wrong. Check out "Nickleback's" earlier releases to see what I mean.
Terrible.
The contention of what good song lyrics are, and what are just average- or just plain bad- is up for contention.
But I bet that the songs where the producer said to the artists : " Can you just get some lyrics that rhyme with that bit of the song? " are often the worst ...😛
And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

(It's got a catchy beat, I'll give him that)
Oh freddled gruntbuggly/thy micturations are to me/As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes. And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!
Not really lyrics, but I couldn't help but throw in the dreadful poetry.

I’m in love (Sha-la-lee) by 'Sieneke'
The dutch contribution to the Euro Song Contest 2010´.
After lisetening the whole song, I couldn´t get it out of my head. Damn song.
I forgot where I´’ve heard this song, in the summer sun
I believe it was back there with you on the beach in Lisbon
Or was it back there in Paris
Behind a bowl of fresh mocha ice cream?
Or possibly, it was the two of us overseas in that air balloon
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
I can’´t get it out of my head
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
I wake up with it in the morning
I´’m in love with you
That’´s why I forget so quickly and don’´t know it anymore
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
That´’s roughly how it goes
I’´m in love, I’´m in love
I´’m in love, that´’s quite obvious
Or possibly, I was sitting high in the sky, on a plane to Oslo
Or did it come from a bar in an alley – I was once in Trinidad
Or was it with a glass of fine wine
In that pavement cafe in Berlin?
Maybe back then in the snow on a horse-sleigh in Leningrad?
How can I, how can I…
How can I, how can I…
How can I possibly forget that?
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
I can´’t get it out of my head
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
I wake up with it in the morning
I´’m in love with you
That´’s why I forget so quickly and don’´t know it anymore
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
That’´s roughly how it goes
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
I can´’t get it out of my head
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
I get up with it in the morning
I´’m in love with you
That´’s why I forget so quickly and don’t know it anymore Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
That’´s roughly how it goes
Shalalee shalala, shalalee shalala
That’s roughly how it goes

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody
Inane and borderline racist: a double whammy.

Being used as soundtrack in a current Aussie soap drama involving a seriously dysfunctional adult family - can't imagine why.

A big Youtube hitter in the Netherlands. Succes is garanteed when you can dance!
I'm sorry, it's in dutch, but it goes somewhat like this:
Hooter hooter hooter, with Romana on the scooter
Ticca tacca tocca, I drive around the blocka
But I don't care what they think of you
I always be true to you.

Sons and daughters
Love is very strange, it can come and go,
It can happen when you are young or old,
When it comes, it comes from nowhere,
When it comes, it changes your life.
Chorus:
Son's and daughters,
Love and laughter,
Tears and sadness and happiness,
We will find out, our son's and daughters,
Are what, we too, were once about
Lovely use of language in the last line - smooth as silk
Home and Away
You know we belong together
You and I forever and ever
No matter where you are
You're my guiding star
And from the very first moment I saw you
I never felt such emotion
I'm walking on air
Just to know (Just to know)
You are there (You are there)
Hold me in your arms
Don't let me go
I want to stay forever
Closer each day
Home and Away
Again, just a wonderful last line. It's the name of the show, so just throw it in.
