Bad Lyrics

Some more Bad lyrics

Baby, when I think about you
I think about love
Darlin', don't live without you
And your love
If I had those golden dreams
Of my yesterday (yesterday)
I would wrap you in the heaven
'Til I'm dyin' (dyin', dyin')
On the way

That reminded me of one I have always hated (at least the chorus). Ponder this for a moment if you will:

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I leave it up to you

Now that said, I really like the song ("I'd Love To Change The World" by Ten Years After) overall, but this cop out attitude drives me crazy!

Here is my version (that would fit very well with the other lyrics of the song):

I'd love to change the world
And if I work with you
We can make this change come true

"David Bowie" by Phish (that sounds weird) nails it with this compelling lyric sheet:

David Bowie, David Bowie
David Bowie, David Bowie
David Bowie, David Bowie
David Bowie, David Bowie
UB40, UB40
UB40, UB40
UB40, UB40
UB40, UB40

That said, I do enjoy the song, and I initially chuckle whenever I hear it before getting lost in it's musical journey!

I probably have several hundred that I have written (or maybe all) where naysayers would call them bad lyrics, but IDGAF ;~))

What a f8cking great tune.
 
I believe the lyrics to Bad are more like....

Ah, your butt is mine, gon' tell you right, ah
Just show your face in broad daylight, ah
I'm tellin' you on who I feel, ah
Gonna hurt your mind, don't shoot to kill
Shamone, ah, shamone
Lay it on me, ah, alright
Ah, I'm givin' you on count to three, ah
Just show your stuff or let it be, ah
I'm tellin' you, just watch your mouth, ah
I know your game, what you're about
Well, they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true, ah
But, my friend, you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, shamone (bad, bad, really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad (bad, bad)
You know it (really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad (bad, bad)
Shamone, you know (really, really bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad?
:p

funny, cute, even a joke
but it still fits the topic
Bad lyrics

I cringe every time I hear it
and I am a huge Chuck Berry Fan
but that song is like nails on a chalk board to me

That was my favorite song to play on the jukebox when I was a kid! Still love it to this day!! In large part, because it makes me laugh ;~)) When I laugh, I call that good (but that is just me and to each his own)!!!

If you take it as a lyric, it is indeed terrible. Although I'm quite certain its bad-ness is intentional, sound play and ridiculousness not being foreign to Phish. :D Plus, it's a great tune.


In general, I really embrace bad lyrics in "popular" music. Makes everything I write seem 14.63% better. ;)
