"I think the only kind of farming that anyone would be wanting to do in the bedroom is perhaps the wheelbarrow position" Jon you can't just drop shakespearean poetry in the middle of a video about cringey lyrics
GoldNinja Vlogspot well it does sound like the poppish radio friendly song (w/c I admittedly used to like 😆) that appeals to the mainstream so I guess that's that.
queen beetch how old are you? Just asking cause if you don't get it, it may be telling of your age or not knowing who marvin gaye was or the reference to one of his songs and the correlation between what they're talking about. Not trying to be offensive just wondering...
"I like your BM-excellent tits with a tattoo of a pig sniffin' glue" Green Day "I wanna see some naked dudes, that's why I built this pool" Blink 182 "Mom made my sex. She knitted it with her hands" Weezer "Are you smelling that shit? Are you smelling that shit?" Fall Out Boy These are off the top of my head but really besides Green Day, I'm not a massive fan of these bands but I know Jon is and I do like a lot of their stuff. Honestly, Weezer has had so many terrible lyrics, that one's just the first awful one that came to mind
That’s a brilliant idea. It could be done in a similar format to the one where they talked about 7 bands Hannah got Jon into and 7 bands that Jon got Hannah into
I personally would go with the chorus to Perfect or maybe something from Welcome to my Life. In terms of another song by another band that should be on there, the “Where are you and I’m so sorry” from Blink 182’s I Miss You is a definite choice.
You need to hear Heartbreak Girl if you wanna hear whiny lyrics. “Because he’s so bad and I’m so good to you, it’s not fair.” And “I’m stuck in the friendzone again and again” are lyrics in the song. I know 5sos isn’t punk-rock, they’re more pop-rock, but god damnit.
CuteMedia yeah the problem is it's not funny. Like it tries so hard to be funny but it isn't. Trust me I find most things funny, but freaky Friday's humor is so predictable and bland that it just is sad, truly pathetic.
Is rubbers an American term for condoms? Because in Britain it means erasers. I heard that lyric and was so confused that he'd be bragging about buying stationary in bulk in the same lyric as bragging about having one night stands 😂 It sounds like something a really out of touch teacher would say if they parodied a rap song for the school play
YOU INCLUDED UNTRIMMED CHEST!!! It has always made me cringe so much. I think I said that in your last video. GAHHH. Also, "I want to buy you everything except cologne, cause it's poison".
And if you want the king of bad lyrics, a possible candidate is Rick Ross! Here are some of his: “Put Molly all in her champagne, she didn’t even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she didn’t even know it.” “Reeboks on, I Just Do It” “Trayvon Martin, I’m never missing my target” “Phone’s still tapped so it’s best to send a text” “I’m the biggest rapper, Google me Expedia!” “I seen a rich n-ga go to jail, he put WiFi in his cell, Middle of the night my n-ga want to Skype, I just count money for him, that s-t just get him hype” And so on.
Jake The Movie Critic Great idea! I personally love, for instance, the lyrics in Tears for Fears, The Police and Coldplay (although Chris Martin writes some cheesy songs at times)
I think that should happen, too! In my opinion, some of the greatest lyricists are Alex Gaskarth, Ryan Ross (from P!ATD), Tyler Joseph, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and whoever write the lyrics for SWS, PTV, and BVB.
Hey soul sister is a really cringy song, but I still like it somehow lol. It’s so cheesy but I feel like it’s so cheesy to the point it just feels innocent. It’s also pretty catchy. It’s kinda a shame, I actually kinda like Pat as a vocalist but he isn’t a good lyricist at all.
I haven’t even watched this yet but “Heard it's only 30 seconds 'til Mars Then it take you even less just to get to my heart” - 30STM This better be in this video
Tyler Joseph's iRenew Bracelet Personally, JayZ verse on “Monster” beats the Kanye verse for me.......Something along the lines of “ I rape and pillage a village of women and children” I may have the phrasing wrong but the words are correct.
Tyler Joseph's iRenew Bracelet oh and for Cheese Ball corny lyric Drakes "Got so many chains they call me Chaining Tatum” is hilariously wack and one of my favs
“If the light is off then it isn’t on” it’s from a Hillary Duff song that came out when I was in junior high I think. I didn’t have particularly strong feelings about her music but I’ve never forgotten this lyric from the first time I heard it. Anytime anyone mentions a bad lyric in a song this one instantly pops in my head.
I don't know if you've listened to Zara Larsson but on her song "only you" the song starts with "I don't wanna shower even if I stink...." right at the beginning of the song that's suppose to be romantic and it KILLS the entire vibe of the song omg. Even though I like zara I hate hate that lyric for some reason
"Take it or leave it Baby take it or leave it But I know you won't leave it 'Cause I know that you need it Unh, look in the mirror When I look in the mirror Baby I see it clearer Why you wanna be nearer" This is "Fetish" by Selena Gomez. A friend of mine was humming this and I cringed so hard. I actually thought that she just made it up at the spot.
I love the song but yeah these lyrics are quite Bad at some parts 😂 and "If I were you I'd do me too" during the chorus , like girl I know you're beautiful but still
Oh, if you thought the Kanye West lyric was bad, I've got one on par with that! From Kid Rock's Cool Daddy Cool off the Osmosis Jones soundtrack (which, I should mention, is a FAMILY movie!): "Young ladies, young ladies, I like them underage see, Some say it's statutory, but I say it's mandatory!" I mean, just, WOW. And there's one of many reasons I can't stand Kid Rock.
Wow that competes with one of my most fucked up lyrics, didn’t know it was possible. JayZ verse on “Monster”......Something along the lines of “ I rape and pillage a village of women and children” I may have the phrasing wrong but the words are correct.
Absolutely love your videos, you're so well-spoken and you provide serious coverage of music while still making me laugh every. Single. Time. Keep up the good work coming in x
My favorite part of Sunday also I gotta say it’s pretty rare that a RU-vidr has a series every week they not only get it out on time but so early in the morning nice job
Have you ever talked about "celebrity activism"? Pop stars who talk about social issues but you know deep down it's inauthentic because it's a trend right now apparently or when they focus more about talking about social issues rather than music and you're like "well, then why are you a musician" kind of like Halsey for example, you know?
My list (no order): 1. "OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you, but you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature, just let me liberate you." "You're a good girl, I know you want it." - Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines 2. "Hey, you're crazy bitch, but you fuck so good, I'm on top of it when I dream, I'm doing you all night, scratches all down my back to keep me right on." - Buckcherry's Crazy Bitch 3. "Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain't even know it. I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it." - Rick Ross's line on Rocko's U.O.E.N.O. 4. "We are the new Americana. High on legal marijuana. Raised on Biggie and Nirvana. We are the new Americana. - Halsey's New Americana 5. "I am so frickin bored, nothing to do today, I guess I'll sit around and medicate." Theory of a Deadman's Rx (Medicate) 6. "I'm bringing booty back. Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that." - Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass 7. "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (Gotta get with my friends). Make it last forever friendship never ends. If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give. Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is." - Spice Girls' Wannabe
Even as a fan of Imagine Dragons, I'm surprised "kids were laughing, in my classes, while I was scheming, for the masses" wasn't on here. Good God is that a cringey lyric....
"Man this year, I had 300 one night stands / Keep a Costco pack of rubbers in my night stand." "Hit it no rubber / Never would no one touch her." _Makes sense._ "Hey, Soul Sister" also makes me cringe horribly.
Yes, do the bad lyrics series! My suggestion is from Owl City's All My Friends (given Adam's location in the US): "They'll be awestruck saying, 'Aw shucks!' / They either got real good, or they got real good luck!"
I absolutely adore SZA and one of the ONLY issues I have with Ctrl as a record has to deal with that fucking line. I always thought that Travis brought down the song and preferred the version without him 🤷🏻♀️ Also: no mention of Hillary Duff’s thought-provoking, beautiful lyric “if the light is off, then it isn’t on?” Come on Jon, I thought you respected art 😩
When I saw Kanye I thought you were gonna talk about his verse from from "Lift Yourself," but I think that verse is too funny to be on here. Nice vid dude
“Why are we wasting time on all your wasted cryin’ when you should be with me instead” from Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes Still surprised as hell that that song didn’t even get a dishonorable mention on your worst of 2016 list
And remember how you get at Skillet in your last two Worst Of videos? Well, here's one from their song Feel Invincible that always seems to get me: "You make me feel invincible, earthquake powerful, Just like a tidal wave, you make me brave." Um, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not sure tidal waves are meant to inspire courage. They're more a sign of "get as far away as possible, because this thing will destroy your home and your entire neighborhood, and you could die too!"
Or, how about this line from him, in his song $timulated (and yes, that's how it's spelled): "They say she young, I should've waited, She's a big girl dog when she's stimulated" Just, just, WOW.
The "I'm so gangsta and I'm so thug" line was also pure cringe as well. I did like Drops of Jupiter, Drive By, and 50 Ways to Say Goodbye, but most of their songs are pure cringe.
Great list, some of those lyrics you mentioned are so bad. Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road" is a contender for worst lyrics ever "Doin' 15 in a 30, I ain't in no hurry, Imma take it slow just as fast as I can"...can't wait for the police to catch up to that one!. Halsey describing her and G-Eazy's love as being the 'crazy kind' without really describing how it's crazy in "Him and I"...I just find that so hard to believe without any description from Halsey. Kodak Black: "I'm the shit I'm farting, I don't know how to potty" from a Boogie With The Hoodie's song "Drowning" rates quite highly for me as well. Just gross.
I saw Kanye coming just reading the title, and then, move my eyes an inch, he's there. Props to you for including a lyric that wouldn't be too obvious like "Poopity scoop".
The minute I saw Rena in the thumbnail I KNEW it would be the lyric from “My Consequence”. Everytime I hear that I think of your review of From The Outside and how much you hated that lyric 😂
Like bubblegum in your hair isn't fair... but it smells good. What does that... is that even a coherent sentence? It's like one of those weirdly-phrased sentences I put in the first draft of a story and rewrite multiple times before I look at it and say, "Yes, yes, this is a good sentence." I'm not even sure I would use that as an allegory to anything. It's just weird. o.o
Ed Sheeran wake up: “And if your DVD breaks today Should’ve bought a VCR Cause I’ve never owned a Blu Ray True say” I get that the entire song is filled with little details about their relationship and all that but what the heck does this have to do with anything it drives me crazy every time I hear it and I even like the song.
i think if you think about the time that this song was written which was before ed got super popular i would assume that it means that hes not the type to buy love or something soppy like that. but i suppose not all lyrics need to make sense ahaha
When I was young in the late 70s and early 80s, we had some shitty lyrics as well. The difference was that the music was stellar AND only ONE person wrote the lyrics. Today, the music all sounds the same, with auto-tune, generic rhythms, and shit music, AND it can take at least SEVEN PEOPLE to write shit lyrics. Cake cake cake.
Oh, trust me. Train has worst lyrics. See "Drive By." "Just a shy guy looking for a two ply hefty bag to hold my love . When you move me everything is groovy. They don't like it, sue me."
G-Eazy is a mix between Drake, Big Sean and post-Recovery Eminem. How much more unlikable can you get? Also, don't crucify me for comparing a white rapper to Eminem because he's white. I swear, y'all pull the race card every time I do even when the comparison is right in front of you.
TCARTR / TheDrumaddictOne Post Recovery Eminem, bruh, who you been listening to. Not to mention Eminem hasn't even been that good since the Eminem Show, the only good album he has released since TES was MMLP2 11years later. Recovery bro really. Their is literally no comparison between the two other than their race, you cannot possibly expect people to not give you shit for that.
Jon - Your videos are some of my faves. 😊 I have been on a steady binge of all of your videos that I have already seen - because they're that good. So, thanks for being so entertaining!
I remember I got a filling done and Hey Soul Sister was playing. When my mom asked me how I felt, I mumbled "the worst part was when fucking Train came on" and my mom shouted "THANK YOU!"
Where's "you were red, and you liked me because I was blue. You touched me and then suddenly I was a lilac sky then you decided purple just wasn't for you."? It's the most tryhard edgy Tumblr bullshit that makes me cringe every time.
The Travis Scott one isn't UTTERLY bad. It's just a little basic, but it's far from the worst. It just sounds like a middle school normie attempting to be funny. And the post Malone line is already a spiritual successor to middle school normie.
Fall Out Boy - Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea “Are you smelling that shit, are you smelling that shit” My god, I actually like this song but these lyric just cripple it to the point where I had to get the censored version. Easily the worst lyrics the band has ever created. Everything in this video was cringe as well
Yes!!! Finally someone who agrees with me about G Easy and what I thought were some of the dumbest rap lyrics I’ve ever heard. Thank you, man. You have made my week.
