mr4stringz Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 There’s a favourite knowingly bad rhyme of mine too, from Mr. Knowitall by Primus... They call me Mr. Knowitall I am so eloquent. Perfection is my middle name And whatever rhymes with eloquent. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I may have mentioned this in a similar thread some years back, but here's a good 'un from The Wizard of Oz 'If I only had a Brain' : 'I'd show the Dinosaurus Who's king around the forest' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knirirr Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Could this be a crime against rhyme? Surely it's criminal somehow. At least I didn't have to be the one out in front singing it. Quote Come on pretty baby let's sell our souls to Satan, Shake it baby, shake my honey, Old Nick's waitin', The Prince of Darkness wants to claim your soul, He'll get it through the influence of Rock & Roll. They say that when you die eternal life's real swell, But for sex, booze and drugs you're better off in hell! Those born again Christians have got nothing on, Satanic sex rituals that last all night long. Hail Satan! The tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rageofklugman Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) I don't think any discussion of ropey lyrics and rhymes would be complete without a mention of Life by Des'ree. Behold this abomination from the mid-90s! I'm afraid of the dark, Especially when I'm in a park And there's no-one else around, Oh, I get the shivers I don't want to see a ghost, It's a sight that I fear most I'd rather have a piece of toast And watch the evening news Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, Doo, doot doot dooo. Life, oh life, oh life, oh life, Doo, doot dooo EDIT: I see casapete beat me to it! Edited April 9, 2021 by Rageofklugman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 one that sets my teeth on edge is Macca's She's A Woman My love don't give me presents I know that she's no peasant Not keen on Mr Rotten's effort either I am the antichrist I am an anarchist ( mispronounced to make it rhyme) TBF it must have annoyed the hell out of him to have thought up the great couplet only to find it doesn't quite rhyme 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The singer of that horror was attempting to parody the original, where Cliff lyrics seem to be "ballads and calypsos have got nothing on, real country music that just drives along" AFAICT.

EddiePlaysBass Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I've always loved this little gem in the Deep Purple catalogue: Black night is not right I don't feel so bright I don't care to sit tight Maybe I'll find on the way down the line That I'm free, free to be me Black night is a long way from home I don't need a dark tree I don't want a rough sea I can't feel, I can't see Maybe I'll find on the way down the line That I'm free, free to be me Black night is a long way from home Black night, black night I don't need black night I can't see dark light Maybe I'll find on the way down the line That I'm free, free to be me Black night is a long way from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Deep Purple’s lyrics are a goldmine of CAtRs. I used to be a massive fan, now Gillan’s lyrics and wailing grate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
