Toto's Africa never made much sense to me

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tyres

I love it and I need it
I bleed it yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Oooh she's a killing machine
She's got everything
Like a moving mouth body control
and everything

I love her I need her
I seed her
Yeah She turns me on
Alright hold on tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
Oooh I'm in heaven again I've got everything
Like a moving ground an open road
and everything

I love it and I need it
I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright hold on tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine

The music video is just as meaningless, unless the thrust of the thesis is "this bitch is FINE AS gently caress and also african so maybe chill about racism"

Rush lyrics are pretty funny, I heard they had an unreleased album, the first three songs told the story of Atlas Shrugged and the last 50 minutes was a recitation of the Galt speech set to a drum solo by Peart

The first verse is almost OK, it's just a dude bragging about his sweet-rear end ride. Then the next verse comes around and it turns out he's super loving stoked he finally found a girlfriend who isn't paralyzed.

I vote for Warren G's track What's Next where he raps, "What's next what's next what's N.X.E.T." and apparently nobody noticed.

The Lil Flip song "Sunshine". A huge hit a few years back. This man actually raps the following line:

"'I'll treat you like milk, I'll do nothing but spoil you"

I've always thought "All You Need Is Love" is possibly the dumbest load of horse poo poo ever, but the song is catchy, I guess. I just imagine going into a cancer ward and blasting that song full volume as the cells metastasize and the organs fail and suddenly the blood-stained vomit on the lips of bald children clinging to their lives of needles and tubes turns to rainbows and we all hold hands and everything is all right.

As you fade into nothingness as we all must the only thing that made life worth anything was experiencing the best of human emotions, checks out to me.

I'm gonna say no thought in human history gets more mundane and unnecessary than "I want to be a millionaire so frickin bad"

Chuck Chillout and Kool Chip put out an album called "Rhythm is the Master" in 1989 that I generally think is underrated, especially given how many samples it's spawned. Some of it isn't great, though; it has a song on it called "Gimme Minze" which has my favorite/the worst lines in the album:

Comin' from Chip, this is how it goes,
Walking down the street we seen these two hoes
So def, I didn't know what to do
So Chuck says "Yo Chip, go bust a line or two
You never know, they might be ready
For two meatballs and one long spaghetti"


Which is made even funnier/worse by a "sproing!" sound effect over the word "spaghetti". I'm not sure having a dick like spaghetti is something you should be bragging about, though.

hosed her in her mouth she washed it down with Tabasco

You softer than Flanders' son

Sestero did not write The Disaster Artist, it's not true! It's bullshit! He did not write it!

Oh hi, Greg.
I think it's fair to say that the Beastie Boys have pretty terrible lyrics most of the time, and I'm at a point where I'm sort of embarrassed that I ever liked them. Even musically speaking I don't think their stuff has aged well, if it was ever good in the first place. Paul's Boutique *might* be the exception but I have less than zero interest in testing that theory.

Anyway, they own the title of lamest or laziest rap lyric ever, if you ask me, for this gem:

Everybody rappin' like it's a commercial,
Actin' like life is a big commercial.

Which to me is especially egregious because it's so incredibly easy to improve by replacing one or the other instance of 'commercial' with 'rehearsal' e.g.

Everybody rappin' like it's a rehearsal,
Actin' like life is a big commercial.

It's passable, at least.
