    I sometimes wonder about what the heck makes a song a "hit". Some of the "hits" I have heard sound like the writer thought of the lyrics in the bathroom or worse.

    Some examples:

    "Take...these broken wings...and learn to fly again, fly again so free..."

    Hmmmm. OK. You! Here: Take these broken wings and go learn to fly. WELL THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP!.


    "I was walk'in in Memphis....but do I really feel the way I feel".
    WELL, I DON'T KNOW...DO YOU? What's up with this?


    These songs are a piece of cr** if you know what I mean. Others?

    How about James Taylor's

    "Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain...but I always thought that I would see you one more time again..."

    Have you ever told someone "I always thought I would see you one more time again" ??

    Gotta agree with Achy Breaky Heart.

    Then I quit listening as rap and hip hop became ascendant. Nuthin but kids' Disney showtunes and classics these days...

    But the overall worst is Rick Dees doing 'Disco Duck'. I defy anyone to name a worse song, ever.(this should be interesting). :) This is appropriate as the worst movie of that era was 'Howard the Duck'.

    "There's no stopping the duck and his beat..."
    :p

    This is a good one to bring your kids up on...

    Tanya Tucker's own picker-upper personal advice song: "Well if it don't come easy...you better let it go." Then she says later "you GOTTA let it go."

    With the current divorce rate, you wonder how many heads those lyrics have soaked into.

    "Hey...if it ain't easy, JUST QUIT." Sounds like a winner mentality to me. If I took those words of advice, I'd be living on the streets somewhere.

    WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE GET OFF WITH THIS MINDLESS ARROGANCE ANYWAY?

    LA I figured you would be weighing in on all of this any time now! I'm with you on that #2 song. That has to rank right up there with the dumbest.

    Angry? Me angry? No, amazed would be the better word. hehe.

    Since someone already mentioned "Macarena",

    "Take on Me" - A Ha - catchy song, what the crap does it mean ?

    "Rock me Amadeus" - Falco - what the ???

    Plenty more that I could think of given a little time. :D

    Anything written by Avril Lavigne -- she is the worst songwriter EVER. Her lyrics SUCK!

    I don't feel like looking up any of her song lyrics or I would post them.

    Does she even write her own lyrics? I know her former drummer, he says she's more Baby Gap than Baby Goth. He also says she listens to a lot of pop music.
