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.

 

Doug, I honestly, have great affection for the Canadian people and greatly respect them as a sovereign nation and wish everyone felt the same. My mon’s family is from there.  Plus I love hockey. As a wee lad, I used my newspaper route money to pay a collection of street hockey sticks because kids in the neighborhood and to have kids to play with, I had to buy enough sticks for everyone. The kids in the neighborhood just weren’t big into hockey, except for one kid the next block over. My friend’s older brother, named Chris Chelios. You may have heard of him. True story.

So that former neighbor from Canada… After he noticed that I didn’t seem to care for NickelBack, he said, “What about Brian Adams? You have to like him!” I’m sorry, but I’m good at being genuine. I couldn’t fake it. I might have replied, “Do you only like Canadian bands that suck? How about Rush?” And he wasn’t a Rush fan. Anyhow, his wife, a friend of mine,. divorced him, and he left the neighborhood. So I no longer have to hold my tongue when people talk about Nickelback! Haha. I kid. I don’t hate them. I just like it better when they’re not being played anywhere near me.
