OK, beat this:

““There's Rick, there's Axel and there's me
I'm the candyman, also known as Dave, Dave from Sheffield
Furthermore known as the screaming lord
But you can call me Ice - Ice, Ice baby
Wicked!"”

From here

“Let's get out of here. Word to your mother."

The line at the end of “Ice Ice Baby”, by the oh-so-white Vanilla Ice.

I get the feeling the lyrics bit of your post was just a cover for announcing the “update of your relationship status” (as facebook would have us call it - I still can't get away from it).

Thank you Clouseau. The thread was genuine but I thought I might kill two birds with one keystroke. It's easier than letting everyone know at 4am in the Scholar (and then an hour later watch everyone forget).

Anyway Doc, I'll take your smartarsery and raise you

“It was a hot day WOOAH!
And there were boobies ahoy
I am a bastard”

Greetings! Yep I'm back! Unfortunately I was unable to find a bloody computer in America so didn't get anything you wanted! Sorry guys. By the sounds of it I saved Dorri from certain death by not bringing back the 'cheese in a can' stuff. Barf.

“How hard can it be to find a computer in America?!" you may ask. Damn hard as it turned out. New Hampshire and Maine were full of tiny villages as remote and 'modern' as Korea. The one 'town' I stayed in longer than a day had a Library that makes my home bookshelf look like an extensive collection of reading material and the only computer they had was for the staff to 'type letters'. I continued searching and finally found an internet cafe... which had closed last winter through lack of use. Just peachy. At least I tried, so my conscience is clear!

Back to the topic...

I love all those nonsensical lyrics that people make up to fill a few bars of the song cos they can't think of anything intelligent that fits, for example:

“Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
and we can sing just like our fathers." ... what?! (Come on Eileen)

Or

“Da ba da dan dee dee dee da
Nee na na na - be my baby” (Saturday Night - Whigfield)

All looks quite funny when you just read it and you don't have the music to coolefy it.

Hopefully see you all soon so I can bore you with my billion photographs of fat Americans and cheese related food. Bet you're all looking forward to that!! mwahahahahah!

For shit lyrics I always look to New Kids on the Block. They like to broadcast they are 'clean nice boys' really with reassuring lyrics like this:

“We never talk trash, our rhymes are clean
Our rhymes are never vague and we say nothing obscene
So any sucker MCs who wanna battle us
Can you go at least 20 lines without a cuss?
Cause once we start to jam, you'll be in a state of shock
Clear the way party people, we're The New Kids On The Block”

“Shock” is indeed the word.

Hey hey !! Welcome back Rach.

“A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido”. What does it even mean? As far as I'm concerned, the only decent thing that came out of Kurt Cobain's mouth was a smoking barrel.

Controversial.

Glad you are ok Rach! Look foward to hearing all about the pilgrims!

This is a recent favourite of mine-

Hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque. (prefab sprouts!)

Also on the theme of Mr Cobain, (who i must add, i am a big fan of!) His music is the theme tune to my youth!

“Its okay to eat fish cause they dont have any feelings”. Genius!!

Anyone out tonight, or is just me and Kp?!

“It's better to burn out, than fade away” - Neil Young. A really, really bad lyric if you're a fan of Mr Cobain, who took it a bit too literally.

Carly, try and listen to 'Clams Have Feelings Too (Actually They Don't)' by NoFX from the album 'Pump up the Valuum'.

“They have no face, no place for ears
There's no clam eyes to cry clam tears
No spinal cord, they must get bored
Might as well just put them out of misery
I don't believe it's selfish
To eat defenseless shellfish”

michael jackson - bad

“Because I'm Bad, I'm Bad - Come On
(Bad Bad - Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad - You Know It
(Bad Bad - Really, Really Bad)
You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad - Come On, You Know
(Bad Bad - Really, Really Bad)
And The Whole World Has To Answer Right Now
Just To Tell You Once Again,
Who's Bad... "

Now thats BAD!

You are wrong....you are just wrong. I wish you were right, I really do. You aren't.

got a house in Devon, drink cider from John Lennon?

Back on the fish theme-

A big eyed fish,
Yeah, swimming in the sea,
Oh, how he dreamed.
He wants to be a bird,
Swooping, diving through the breeze.
One day, he caught a big blue wave,
Up onto the beach,
And now he's dead.
You see, a fish's dream,
Should stay in the sea. (Dave mathews band)

Also Billy, i listened to that song and my insides collapsed! Thank you!

Right, can't decide if this is rubbish or brilliant.

Hey little boy come walk with me
And bring you're new found mollusk along
Does it speaketh of the trinity?
Can it gaze at the sun with its wandering eye?

The Mollusk by Ween

Oh yeah and this is quite a good example of Bob Dylans lyrical genius .

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a gypsy queen
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle all dressed in green
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle 'til the moon is blue
Wiggle 'til the moon sees you

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle in your boots and shoes
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle you got nothing to lose
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a swarm of bees
Wiggle on your hands and knees

Wiggle to the front, wiggle to the rear
Wiggle 'til you wiggle right out of here
Wiggle 'til it opens, wiggle 'til it shuts
Wiggle 'til it bites, wiggle 'til it cuts.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle- You can raise the dead

Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher
WIGGLE 'TIL YOU VOMIT FIRE
Wiggle 'til it whispers, wiggle 'til it hums
Wiggle 'til it answers, wiggle 'til it comes

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like satin and silk
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a pail of milk
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle rattle and shake

Wiggle like a big fat snake.

Thanks for that one Bob, but how many roads must a man wiggle down before you call him a man?
Sorry for posting the entire song but as you can see, one line on it's own would make no sense at all!!

Well, I think I've found the Holy Grail of shitty lyrics - yes, it's Andrew W.K, the human equivalent of MTV US.

Seriously though:

“It's time to party!
Let's party!
Hangin with yourself and have a crazy party!
Hey you! Let's party!
Have a killer party and party!”

“Don't even try to deny it,
Cause we're gonna have a party tonite!
And you know we're gonna do it tonite!
We're gonna lose it all and we can ???????
Party! Party! There's gonna be a party tonite!”

“Tension in my head
When you're standin there
Now im digging it deep (its time to party!)
Doing it fast, when you're doing it low
Keep getting your needs (its time to party!)
Pounding one! Pleasure yourself!
It's not too late! (its time to party!)
Open your mouth
We're all gonna come..
...In your face!”

“HEY!...HEY!...HEY!...HEY!”

“It's time to...
It's time to...
It's time to Party! Party!
There's gonna be a party tonite!!!”

For sheer consistency, he wins hands down. Check out other classics such as 'Party Till You Puke', 'Make Sex', and the quite-appropriately named 'Totally Stupid'.

I rest my case.
