Worst lyrics of all time revealed! Des'ree, Razorlight and Snap are main offenders

04.May.07 8:31pm
Des'ree's 1990s hit 'Life' contains the worst pop lyrics of all time, according to a listener poll held by BBC 6 Music.

Thanks to music fans voting in the station's Taxing Lyrical survey, Des'ree won the unflattering honour over Razorlight's 'Somewhere Else' and Snap's 'Rhythm Is A Dancer' - the latter artists both collecting 30 per cent of the votes respectively.

The offending Des'ree lyrics 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".

6 Music presenter Marc Riley, who counts down the Taxing Lyrical Top Ten tonight (May 4) says, "Bad lyrics can come in all forms - some acceptable, some less so. Dumb is sometimes OK, but pious and pretentious and pompous are obviously never to be encouraged nor tolerated."

ABC singer Martin Fry, who is at number 4 for his lyrics to 'That Was Then But This Is Now', told Riley, "I have been waiting for this kind of accolade for years. The most memorable lyrics are often the stupidest."

The BBC 6 Music Taxing Lyrical Top 10 is as follows:

1. Des'ree - 'Life'
"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"

2. Snap - 'Rhythm Is A Dancer'
"I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer"

3. Razorlight - 'Somewhere Else'
"And I met a girl/She asked me my name/I told her what it was"

4. ABC - 'That Was Then But This Is Now'
"More sacrifices than an Aztec priest/Standing here straining at that leash/All fall down/Can't complain, mustn't grumble/Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble!"

5. U2 - 'Elevation'
"I've got no self control/Been living like a mole now/Going down, excavation/High and high in the sky/You make me feel like I can fly/So high/Elevation"

6. Toto - 'Africa'
"The wild dogs cry out in the night/As they grow restless longing for some solitary company/I know that I must do what's right/Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti"

7. Oasis - 'Champagne Supernova'
"Slowly walking down the hall/Faster than a cannonball/Where were you when we were getting high?"

8. Duran Duran - 'Is There Something I Should Know?'
"And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war"


9. Human League - 'The Lebanon'
"Before he leaves the camp he stops/He scans the world outside/And where there used to be some shops/Is where the snipers sometimes hide"

10. Black Sabbath - 'War Pigs'
"Generals gathered in their masses/Just like witches at black masses"

I like those Champagne Supernova lyrics. And I like that Rhythm is a Dancer song. Heh. I was kind of hoping the winner would be madonna.

I remember when "Life" was released; it was played on the radio and mtv every day, and every time I heard those exact lyrics, I thought, omg, worst lyrics ever. I'm so happy someone agrees!

That whole song is pretty dreadful. The chorus? "Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, do do do doo." It can't get much worse.

Champaigne Supernova, NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!!
Desree's songs, all of em have really irksome lyrics, there's another one with Zodiac signs that goes on about Scorpio first then Leo... ugh.

50 cent; 21 questions
I love you like
A fat kid loves cake
"

Shakira;
Lucky that my breasts
Are small and humble
So you don't confuse.
Them with mountains


Vanilla Ice
Now you're amazed
By the VIP posse
Steppin' so hard
Like a German Nazi"


Puff Daddy
Young, black and famous
With money hangin'
Out the anus"

I hate Nelly's dilema, i.e.


No matter what I do,
all I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo,
you know I'm crazy about you

not only are they painfully cliche, it's that, despite the plethora of rhymes he could have come up with that have an oo sound, he not only uses 'you' twice in 4 lines he invents the word boo.

He didn't invent the entire "boo" thing. People were saying that before, it's just the stupid kind of slang.

there is an advertisement for truthinlove.com and it is making me laugh. Really, really hard.

oh my god, i know. i'm surprised anyone even remembers that song, but i'm glad it's #1 because it truly is the shittiest. she's pretty crap. the best song she ever did was that one for romeo and juliet.

Come on, that's brilliant. As is the cheeky little smile she does after singing that line in the video.
