This song is so motherfucking stupid.

There's been some good nonsensicle lyrics, in pop even, but this is just flat out stupid and lazy.
Never heard it and hope I never do.

Remember this chestnut from the usually reliable ABC?

Can't complain, mustn't grumble
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I was listening to the otherwise fantastic "Rasputin" by Boney M today, when this clunker jumped out at me...

He could preach the bible like a preacher

New Order, "Krafty"
Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we're living in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna do
Song popped up today and I was reminded again by what an utterly lazy effort this is. Not that Sumner's lyrics rarely do better than passable, but if these didn't result in awkward exchanged glances between the rest of the band, they all gave up caring.

But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar.


So this famous Russian danced a traditional Ukrainian folk dance and the Germans applauded.

Great tune though.

This bit from The Reflex by Duran Duran seems like some really desperate rhyming:

Code: Select all

So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time, don't lose it
And they repeat it about half a dozen times.

It's weird because I like the rest of the lyrics. Its like they got something in there to give someone a writing credit.
