I was listening to 891 the other afternoon and they played Elinor by The Turtles. That song never ceases to crack me up. The lyrics are so appallingly bad, it's almost endearing. But that's not to say that all songs are that cute.
Elinor - The Turtles
Elinor, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, etcetera...
Etcetera???!!! Are they serious????
McCarthur Park
Someone left the cake out in the rain...
I don't think I can take it, cos it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again....oh noooooooooooooo!
All I can say is I'm so pleased this song was actually a joke. Cos if he was serious, I'd be very concerned.
One of Us - Joan Osbourne
If God had a face, what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets
And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome
Do you think Joan Osbourne might have owned a rhyming dictionary? This makes me cringe!
Des'ree - Life
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sight that I fear most,
I'd rather have a piece of toast,
And watch the evening news
I think this one takes the accolades for the worst ever!
