FAVORITE (and not so much) SONG LYRICS

So, you folks must have heard about this poll VH1 conducted in the UK to determine the Brits' favorite song lyric of all time. The results follow:

1. U2 - One. “One life, with each other, sisters, brothers.”

2. The Smiths - How Soon is Now? “So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die.”

3. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. “I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us.”

4. Bob Marley - Redemption Song. “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds, have no fear for atomic energy, ’cause none of them can stop the time.”

5. Coldplay - Yellow. “Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.”

6. Eminem - Lose Yourself. “Look, If You Had One Shot Or One Opportunity, To Seize Everything You Ever Wanted, One Moment, Would You Capture It Or Just Let It Slip?”

7. Robbie Williams - Angels. “And Through It All She Offers Me Protection, A Lot Of Love And Affection, Whether I`m Right Or Wrong”

8. The Who - My Generation. “Hope I Die Before I Get Old”

9. Radiohead - Creep. “I’m A Creep, I’m A Weirdo, What The Hell Am I Doing Here? I Don’t Belong Here”

10. Marvin Gaye - What`s Going On. “Father, Father, We Don`t Need To Escalate, You See, War Is Not The Answer, For Only Love Can Conquer Hate”

11. U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name. “I Want To Run, I Want To Hide, I Want To Tear Down The Walls, That Hold Me Inside”

12. Abba - The Winner Takes It All. “The Winner Takes It All, The Loser Standing Small, Beside The Victory, That`s Her Destiny”

13. The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset. “Every Day I Look At The World From My Window, But Chilly, Chilly Is Evening Time. Waterloo Sunset`s Fine”

14. Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall. “We Don`t Need No Education, We Don`t Need No Thought Control. No Dark Sarcasm In The Classroom, Teachers, Leave Them Kids Alone.”

15. Tupac ft Snoop - California Love. “Now Let Me Welcome Everybody To The Wild, Wild West, A State That`s Untouchable Like Elliot Ness”

16. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody. “Is This The Real Life? Is This Just Fantasy? Caught In A Landslide, No Escape From Reality”

17. Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues. “Johnny`s In The Basement Mixing Up The Medicine. I`m On The Pavement Thinking About The Government”

18. Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot. “Watching The People Get Lairy, Is Not Very Pretty I Tell Thee, Walking Through Town Is Quite Scary, And Not Very Sensible Either”

19. David Bowie - Heroes. “We Can Be Heroes, Just For One Day”

20. The Police - Every Breath You Take. “Every Single Day, Every Word You Say, Every Game You Play, Every Night You Stay, I’ll Be Watching You”

Sure, there are some selections in this top 20 that I agree with and others that I don't care for. But that's not the point of this post, dear reader.

The point of this post is to introduce you to what is, in my opinion, one of the worst songs in human history. Yes, I said it.

I just wanted to preface the worst with what a large majority of people are calling the best so that the following lyrics would be easier to digest. You may feel nauseous. You may want to bitch slap me for sharing this perversion of song with you. Or you may already be very familiar with this melody, in which case, you SHOULD sit back and nod your head in agreement that this is pure horndog grossness (if you don't, shame on you).

I already feel my dinner coming up:

PONY by Ginuwine

I’m just a bachelor,
I’m lookin’ for a partner
Someone who knows how to ride without even fallin’ off
Gotta be compatible,
Takes me to my limits
Girl when I break you off,
I promise that you won’t wanna get off

(chorus:)
If you’re horny, let’s do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle’s waitin’
Come and jump on it
If you’re horny, let’s do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle’s waitin’
Come and jump on it

Sittin’ here flossin’, peepin’ your steelo
Just once if I have the chance, the things I would do to you
You and your body, every single portion
Send chills up and down your spine, juices flowin’ down your thigh

(chorus 2x)
If you’re horny, let’s do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle’s waitin’
Come and jump on it
If you’re horny, let’s do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle’s waitin’
Come and jump on it

If we’re gonna get nasty baby
First we’ll show and tell
Till I reach your pony tail (oh)
Lurk all over and through you baby
Until we reach the stream
You’ll be on my jockey team (ooh)

(chorus 2 1/2x)
If you’re horny, let’s do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle’s waitin’
Come and jump on it
If you’re horny, let’s do it
Ride it, my pony
My saddle’s waitin’
Come and jump on it
(fades)

Ride it

I don't know what genius came up with these song lyrics but they're pretty awful. I remember listening to them with my best friend when we were in the 6th grade and being SHOCKED. Blech.

I'd love to hear what you guys think are the most awful song lyrics in the history of song.
Don't be shy. Share.

"I'm a barbie girl" and "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me"...

are two sorry excuses for songs.

and i have to disagree with Coldplay's best lyrics...

i think the best lyrics in that song are:

"your skinnn o yea your skin n bones
turnnn innto something beautifullll
and d'you knowwww for you i'd bleed myself dryyyy?

for you i'd bleed myself dryyyyy."

It reminds me of what my sister said to me once:: "Cut open my viens Sashi, I bleed you."

SabilaK said...

Hmm. I'm not sure. I'll look it up on urbandictionary.com.

According to urbandictionary.com, "steelo" is "slang for style; a playa's aura. Some get this definition confused with swagger. It can be your fashion but that's just part of the bigger picture. Let's just say, the devil didn't make you do it, it was your steelo."

Examples of "steelo" in a sentence

"You should know my steelo/
Went from ten G's for blow to thirty G's a show/
To orgies with ho's I never seen befo'/" - Notorious B.I.G

OR

Geek "I'm jealous of you"
Ryan "Don't hate my steelo"
Geek "I envy it"
Ryan "Geez, just cause I got steez?"
Geek "Let me carry you to school someday"
Ryan "Bathe twice"
Geek "You won't regret it"

OR

I think she digs my steelo.
