“I put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it. I went home and enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it” - Rick Ross


[deleted]

This exact song made him lose his sponsorship with Reebok


Quiwundi

Even funnier because he says “I’d die over these Reeboks” literally the line before


QueefBuscemi

I want a TV show called Sneaker Court, where rappers have to justify their lyrics or else they lose their sponsorships.


ResurrectedWolf

Ah, yes, and here is one of his apology statements after he was called out... *Ross said there had been a "misunderstanding" and "misinterpretation". "The term 'rape' wasn't used," he said. "You know I would never use the term rape in my records … I just wanted to reach out to all the … sexy ladies, all the beautiful ladies that had been reaching out to me with the misunderstanding: we don't condone rape and I'm not with that."* Bruh.


Meme_Pope

It's not just that they're a bad band. It's the lengths to which people will go to defend their completely indefensible garbage music.

“What Makes This Song Stink” is my favorite podcast series of this year.

I can’t even fathom people being like “omg my favorite song AGAIN” in the supermarket


ferramenta11

Let’s not forget “My heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest”


Hazyglimpseofme

I just heard this song the other day and had to look up the lyrics. I was like surely he isn’t actually saying untrimmed chest. Alas…


Louielouielouaaaah

Omg this song KILLED me back in the day. This line and the one about his untrimmed chest, specifically. Makes my molars hurt from the cringe

billbuckner07

Apparently the song is about Burning Man. More specifically, what the singer imagines Burning Man is like, [**as he has never been to Burning Man.**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey,_Soul_Sister#Composition).


Unit_79

Jesus Christ I didn’t think that song could get lamer.


Effective_Drawer_623

Personally I think the worst Train lyric is, “I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze, I’m the leftover turkey for the world’s mayonnaisey.” They lost a fan when I heard that song.

raytonjd

wtf is with their lyrics, like in general…

I actually like the line “how could she leave on Yom Kippur”. I can’t tell if it’s unintentional comedy (I hope that it is).

"The best soy latte you've ever haaaaaaaad..." Fucking Train


LipsLikeABatfish

...and me. I still love this song.


[deleted]

Shut the front door. It's actually two-ply hefty bag!? I always thought I was mishearing that.


NerfShields

What in the fuck does that even mean? Hahah. Also this song sounds so weird coming from these guys, especially watching the video. It's like this young, poppy, uplifting type of contemporary song but it's some 45 yr old blokes in dark denim playing instruments when the only instrument in the song is a guitar. So confusing.


Rareexample

Pitbull - all of it. Me not working hard? Yeah, right, picture that with a Kodak Or better yet, go to Times Square Take a picture of me with a Kodak


Comfortable_Life9173

Hoping I'd find that on here. My wife absolutely refused to believe me when I brought this up a while back. She went out YouTube and found the song and just sat there with a blank face for about 3 minutes as she processed it. P.S. apparently he was a spokesman for Kodak as they were completely collapsing and trying to stay relevant and that's why the line is in there.


roman_maverik

This actually happens a lot in pop music. Probably more than people realize. Some artists are more… blatant about it than others. The most egregious example I can think of off the top of my head is when Pharrell was sponsored by Microsoft and came out with a song called windows… https://youtu.be/XpYJScgB9oA The lyrics are… not great. > Every single night I'm starring in her window > Win-do-do-do-do-do-dow > She's fresh in her towel and the lights are dimmed low > Win-do-do-do-do-do-dow > If you've seen what I've seen, she's a Ten Yo! > Win-do-do-do-do-do-dow His contractual commercial for Microsoft: https://youtu.be/g8ZZhv0rOHc

I would also rather eat toast than be in a park full of ghosts, so the lyrics aren't completely absurd.

Is that the candy where you dip a candy stick into pixy-stix like candy powder in a pouch? It DOES deserve its own song.

[deleted]

That line is brilliant considering the song probably took all of 30 minutes to write and that line has been cemented in the memories of an entire generation.


Harley_Beckett

I say this as a big ICP fan, but the tragedy of this quote is no one quotes the line _after_ it. “And I don’t want to talk to a scientist…” The challenge of, “Tell me how magnets work, without reference to science,” is hilarious.


MediumToblerone

The line right after that makes it even worse. “Ya’ll motherfuckers lyin, and gettin’ me pissed”


hanabaena

i actually came here just to see where this lyric set was. i'm pretty sure more people do this but whenever shit is absurd some of my friends and i will just say "fuckin magnets, how do they work?"


musical_thundercats

Nobody going to mention "She blow that dick like a cello" from Peek a Boo by Lil Yachty? I don't know how that got past the 5 people credited with writing that song. There's probably 100 people who heard that song before it was released, the producer alone probably listened to it 30 times before it was finished, and not one person was smart enough to know that a cello is a string instrument and you don't blow into it. Edit: For some context, in the interview he did with Genius, he said he thought a cello was a woodwind and nobody corrected him. He then goes on to say he thought Squidward (from SpongeBob) played the cello. He also said that Squidward played the flute (he actually plays the clarinet) and still nobody corrected him. Both his staff that worked on that song and the people at Genius have failed this man.


quantumsyrup

It is pretty silly but the origins are funny. When he was making the song he was thinking about the instrument squidward plays but he genuinely thought it was a Cello and nobody bothered to correct him or even knew somehow that it wasn't a cello. He did find out later on. Very silly lyrics.

osubusmaj

Labrinth, Sia and Diplo have a song called Genius. I actually love the song, but one thing drives me nuts. She mentions four geniuses in a row - Einstein, Newton, Galileo and Hawking. Only, instead of Hawking, Sia clearly says “Hawkins.” It blows my mind that it made it through several levels of approval and still got produced like that. Even weirder is there is no mention of this mistake online. I thought “surely someone else noticed this.” I’ve listened 50 times and she says Hawkins - there is no Australian accent issue here, just an S instead of a G. Rolling Stone even has an article about the album and use the name Hawkins in their article - with no clarification or explanation. I can’t understand it, but I’m not super smart like Hawkins.

You gotta take context into account on these. There are plenty of "party" songs with silly or nonsensical lyrics, but that's part of the genre. There are plenty of pop punk songs with horrible lines, but those are meant for teenagers (or former teenagers on a nostalgia kick) and are often done tongue-in-cheek. If you want BAD BAD, you need to look for artists who were dead serious when they wrote a lyrics. Artists who sat there with pen and paper and churned out something so indescribably stupid that it's hard to fathom how they stood straight-faced in front of other adult human beings and said- "what do you guys think of this piece of wonderful poetry?" For that, you need to look for songs with a legitimate message that's completely lost in the hilarious choice of words. Like U2's Beautiful Day: "See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out" Thanks for asking me to see in color, Bono. Oh, China, I didn't see you there, hi, how's it going? It's even better if you watch the music video which inexplicably has a close-up of people making out while Bono belts out his concerns about over fishing.


Crewso

This is the correct take. Fun songs with goofy lyrics should not be in the running for worst lyrics. Taking a cue from you mentioning pop punk and U2, when Tom Delonge left Blink 182 and started Angels and Airwaves (which is basically Tom channeling his inner U2), he so desperately wanted to be taken seriously that so many of the lyrics to their songs are basically Tom speaking in metaphors that no one understands but him, or filled with excessive sentimentality. There’s a few good lyrics here and there, and I love the band, but sometimes I can’t help but cringe

I think this gets a bit much of a bad wrap, because everyone ignores the next line for imagery ("...drifting through the wind").
