from (now deceased) Stylus Magazine: Top Ten Worst Lines on Interpol’s First Album

I was, in fact, listening to Turn On The Bright Lights, so it is recently. :p

Wow. I never realized how awful those Interpol lyrics were. So many to choose from! But I think I'm gonna have to go with this one from "Obstacle 2":
"I feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye / I think he's making something special and I'm smart enough to try"

Yeah, but now, Interpol gives us "There is no "I" in Threesome"! Awesome.

honestly, I find most of Madonnas lyrics vapid in a weird way (pop is supposed to be vapid/bad rhymes - I don't know why hers stick out). Maybe it's because she reuses her lines in other songs, like "grab a boy, grab a girl" now appearing again in "four minutes". It's never gonna be "Diamond in the back, sunroof top, digging the scene with a gangster lean" that's been heard in more songs than I can count.

"Umbrel-lalalalalala"

Simple, yet hideous. A song for if malls could sing.

You think the lyrics from the first interpol album are bad? The 2nd one is worse.

That Jordan Sparks song makes me want to cut off my ears and dip them in bleach every time I hear it.

The first time I heard that song Jesus Take the Wheel I could not believe that it wasn't a joke. I think I sat there with my mouth open listening to it, to find out if it was for real.

I've been playing Squeeze lately, and it's been taking me back to my teens. Inevitably, I end up trying to sing along, but I never did know most of the words. (Looking them up, I find they're much less nonsensical than I thought. Huh.)

That said, here's one of the dumbest, most happy-inducing choruses I know, from Squeeze's Slap & Tickle:

If you ever change your mind
Which you do from time to time
Never chew a pickle
With a little slap and tickle
You have to throw the stone
To get the pool to ripple

I swear, I belt that out and I'm fifteen again.
