“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Most cringe-inducing lyrics

On the way to the Ocoee RIver this weekend, we were talking in the car about the worst lyrics ever written by a musical group. While the list is long and somewhat subjective, there are a few standouts for me. These are songs that, if they come on the radio, I HAVE to change stations I hate them so much...

"I like your pants around your feet"...........by who else? Only the most annoying record-company creation since the Monkeys....Nickle Back.

Jon Bon Jovi seems like a cool guy, but then writes tripe like this line from Never Say Goodbye...Remember when we lost the keys and you lost more than that in my back seat ...

And of course, what awful-lyrics list would be complete with out the stylings of Jack Russell of Great White who wrote this immortally bad stanza in Once Bitten, Twice Shy...

You didn't know what rock and roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah

...across your state line? C'mon, are you kidding me?

If you have some songs that you just cannot listen to, leave the lyrics in the comments thread so the rest of us can mock you.

Way to name the band Ed. What's the name of the song haha?

I'm not what you'd call a DF fan. It's just the Joe Elliot's vocals are kind of distinctive. And name another rock band with a one-armed drummer.

Ed! I, the always resourceful Carlos, found a wonderous website called handidrummed.com. I found a list of amputee drummers there. One happend to be missing one arm and his name is Sid Whatley. Others have missing legs, and Joe Hardy actually is missing both legs! It is actually quite an interesting site. I wouldn't recommend it for entertainment purposes unless you are just very twisted and find entertainment in people missing arms and legs. Anyway I just thought I would let you all know.

Carlos, you indeed are as resourceful as Jason Bourne himself.
