The difference is that this list of bad lyrics is spawned by morons; 'cept Van Halen of course, which has depth and nuances of esoteric meaning, trancending ...um, whatever...Van Halen Rocks!! <em>Carly's Note: Agreed. :)</em> As Louie says, there are a lot of weird lyrics–f’rinstance, Paul McCartney (and the Beatles naturally) had scores of scores of non sequiters and tangents that fuelled millions of imaginations.

Ich me lah no i will not let you go! Oh mama mia mama mia let him go! Have a great weekend. <em>Carly's Note: Yeah, those lyrics are a bit on the weird side. Queen's way of poking fun at German and Italian opera, I think. Hope you enjoy your weekend as well.</em> Hi Carly,

Reminds me of William McGonagall, otherwise known as the English Language's worst poet. He lived and died over 100 years ago, but his poems live on! Do a google search and check out some of his stuff, it's quite funny. Cheers! -S.B. <em>Carly's Note: Thanks for the tip, Sean.

The lyrics don't make a lotta sense. I am sure there are a lot of lyrics like that in songs. I gotta say though, I never pick up on these lyrics when the artist is singing them. Most times I don't understand the words they are singing but the rythm is good. Am I just tone deaf or tuned out?? Hope to see you on Sunday at the rib fest in Richmond Hill. Have a great day and a nice weekend. Gary <em>Carly's Note: Usually the lyrics are secondary, but not always. The Dixie Chicks' "Goodbye Earl" wouldn't have been half as popular if it weren't for the story behind the music. Ditto for Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville".</em> Hi Carly

I either like a song as a whole or not like it. I was never really one of those people who didn't like a song because the words didn't agree with them. I just like a good beat and a good hook. <em>Carly's Note: It's the music that grabs you initially, but when you actually listen to the lyrics, it can change your opinion of the song. I like lyrics that are simple, but not simplistic.</em> Lots of music have weird lyrics, but I don’t know if I’d call them bad. I either like a song as a whole or not like it.
