DonS 3,066 Posted June 9, 2021 While walking the dog yesterday I had spotify playing an 80s playlist it created based on my listening habits. A song came on that I really like but I hadn't really paid too much attention to all the lyrics before. I knew they weren't great lyrics, but JFC I hadn't fully appreciated how bad they truly were. Great song but beyond retarded words. Dio - Holy Diver What songs do you guys like that also have embarrassingly bad lyrics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermike80 1,285 Posted June 9, 2021 Any song by candlebox. Decent tunes, but the lyrics are literally gibberish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great song but beyond retarded words. Dio - Holy Diver What songs do you guys like that also have embarrassingly bad lyrics? It's a good choice. I'd heard the song a half dozen times before I even knew it's name, I thought it was "Old McGyver." Nor did I ever figure out what it was about until I looked it just now, such mush-mouth, I only recognize a quarter of it's lyrics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a modern video of some people dancing (voguing) to it: I think we need to start giving Peenie a break regarding her worldview. If she likes this then obviously she has things going on in her life that none of us can understand. Ts & Ps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The video is weird, yes, I mean...voguing is from the clubs in NYC and now white women do it, bless their hearts. But the song was danced by break dancers back in the day. I figure you guys would rather watch those European women than some 1980’s break dancers. It’s the song with the weirdest or worst lyrics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted June 10, 2021 I was listening to an 80's station today and never thought about the lyrics... now the world is woke. "Last night I had the strangest dream. I sailed away to CHINA. In a little row-boat to find ya. And you said you had to get your LAUNDRY CLEANED." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
