Anything in today’s pop world or anything you hear in the club is almost to easy, so here are a few suggestions outside that:

“I eat at Chez Nous” is up there.  Nobody could tell Trevor Rabin that there had to be a better line?

I’ll also nominate “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Phil Collins because its hard to buy that you don’t care if you have to scream it for five minutes.

U2’s “Every Breaking Wave” has the line “Every gambler knows that to lose is what you’re there for”.

Also nearly every song with grammatically incorrect usage of “You and I”, the worst offender being that song by the Bodeans.

Every song from the 60s referencing Romeo and Juliet.

“Smell Yo D@ck” has to be pretty high up on the list.

I’d nominate something by Nickelback but I’d have to actually think about their lyrics.

Also, according to Bob Daisley, all the lyrics Ozzy proposed for his first two albums.

Also, Black Sabbath, “Warning” has the line “I was born without you baby, but my feelings were a little bit too song”.  The original lyrics, “I was warned about you…” actually make sense.

And who can forget “Rock and Roll cola wars, I can’t take it anymore!”

 

No one here is asking you to recall Nickelback lyrics, what do you think we’re some kind of monsters? I had a neighbor (he moved away) who I was hitting it off with and then he told me that he liked Nickelback and I knew I was better off changing the topic than giving my opinion on Nickelack! He’s Canadian, so I quickly started talking about hockey. True story! Okay, mostly. In reality, I did screw after he said Nickelback and said, “”Wait, Nickeback, really???” Of course, he quickly picked up on my less-than-enthusiastic feelings about Nickelback’s music, but I headed it off with something really clever like,  “Sure. Whatever you enjoy,” before switching the topic to hockey.

Nickelback is Canadian? How dare you slander us like that!

Sad to say Chad Kroeger once owned a mansion in my home town of Abbotsford, B.C. Fortunately no longer. Despicable man and band.

This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.
