Terrible Lyrics That Have Been Stuck in My Head For a Week Now

"I wish that everyone could see
a show by Liza Minelli.
Such a marvelous lady
with talent by the ton."

- Adam Ant, "Crackpot History (and the Right to Lie)"

As colorful and heroic as he is, Adam is guilty of a few lyrical missteps. How about this one?

It's times like this the great Heaven knows
That we wish we had not so many clothes
So let's loosen up with a playful tease
Like all lovers did through the centuries

Actually the entire song is a misstep, a step on a mine kind of misstep.

I think Benny Hill could've expressed this sentiment more gracefully.

I blame the Arrested Development marathon that was on IFC on the 4th for this. Ever since seeing Liza Minelli in that, I've had that damn verse of "Crackpot History" running on an endless loop in my head.

Between that and the damned heat, I can't be blamed for any actions I might take today.

I think just the two words "champagne" and "supernova" combined in that order are obnoxious. It calls to mind an image of projectile vomiting at a Dick-Clark's-Brain-In-Jar Rockin' New Year's Eve bash.

Oasis wrote shite lyrics anyway.

"Elsa" and "Alka Seltzer?"

Ha! I thought it was a rap or punk lyric. I'm sure it's better than the original words.

sort of a lyric; but I'm raising eyebrows with my out-of-context recitations

"You fucking tool. John Lennon wrote I am the Walrus."


What can I listen to now when I'm helping Eva tidy up the bunker?

Ah, the poetry (*cough*) of John Trubee. Of course, that lyric only works when delivered in a deadpan C&W voice.

Don't I know it! I shared the story of John Trubee with my wife; she just found the lyrics cause to furrow her brow. (Me, I just drop those lyrics every now & then, to keep my idiot cred high.)

Then we went online and found an audio file of "A Blind Man's Penis." We were in hysterics.

I had the 45 back in the late 80s. The b-side (an obnoxious "Jerky Boys" style call to a local motel) was even funnier in its own way.

There's a great documentary called Off the Charts: The Song-Poem Story that includes quite a bit of interview footage with Trubee and the country singer who ended up singing "A Blind Man's Penis." It's both one of the funniest and, oddly, most inspiring docs I've ever seen.
