Pfft, that's the meme, grandad. Honestly with this and your power balled chat you're not doing yourself any favours..

Amazing that that was the Bowie take that ruffled feathers.

Downvotes are back on now so any real controversial opinions are probably being kept at bay for fear of a scorning.

Plus, most people on here seem pretty like-minded and reasonable when it comes to music so I doubt there are too many ridiculous opinions...

Either that or all the big controversial ones came right at the start.

The worst lyric in the world is by Europe

"Were heading to Venus, Venus , Venus"

Maybe they've seen us , seen us , seen us

No, the worst lyric of all time is by Snap!

"I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer"

[grumpyhack]

I enjoyed seeing Rolf Harris at Glastonbury and even Gary Glitter 30 years ago in Newport.  Both before their darker sides were revealed.

To be fair, cancer is incredibly serious.

“I took a trip to the year 3000/Not much has changed but they live underwater”

That’s quite a big change lads...

Yeah and I like it when lyrics are clear, certain and serious about what is and is not dancer, which I think is why I hated that Killers so much.

I had never considered dancing and humanity to be mutually exclusive before.

At least they didn't repeat the same couple of syllables over and over again. My least favourite lyrics are Rihanna:

under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

And Justin Beiber:
Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh

Music for idiots with the memory of gold fish, gold fish gold fish

Rap should probably be off limits because it’s absolutely full of clunkers, but this one from Eminem always irked me:

‘Now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane…’

Although when it comes to Eminem you can probably pick any lyric of his from the last 20 years at random and it’ll fit the bill.

John Lennons dad thought 'Yeah' was too American so thought they should sing 'She Loves You, Yes, Yes, Yes'. Doesn't have the same ring to it though that might be cause we're not used to it.

Not sure that the timeline on that matches up.

I do remember my mum telling me that anecdote. Always wondered if it was apocryphal.

Maybe it was Paul Mccartneys dad then?  Definitely saw him say that in some interview though can't remember when.
