    "You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you". With the words 'you' or 'you're' used sixty six times, it's not really about anyone else, is it? Sort your life out, Carly.
    I could never work this one out. If it’s not about him who is it about? 🤷‍♂️

    Mick Jagger, I believe - or at least part of it.
    Warren Beatty.

    Mick Jagger was on backing vocals.

    Yes I know Jagger was on the backing vocals. It wasn't about one man, but three. Simon admitted that one of the verses was about Warren Beatty but there are two others and although never confirmed by her the rumours are that the other two were James Taylor and Mick Jagger.

    Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
    End over end, neither left, nor the right
    Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
    Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life

    Make me, oh, make me, Lord, more than I am
    Make a piece in your master game plan
    Free from the earthly tempestion below
    I've got the will, Lord, if you've got the toe

    This abomination by Des’ree has to be up there.

    Life…

    I'm afraid of the dark
    'Specially when I'm in a park
    And there's no one else around
    Ooh, 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

    Second verse of Staying Power by Barry White.

    Slow down, don't be so fast
    Anticipation makes a good thing last
    Tease me with your emotions
    Soon we'll share nature's body lotion
    Are you ready to free?
    Girl, you know you got just what I need
    Oh baby, my missions clear
    It's more than love that keeps you here

    I think Feeder - Buck Rogers deserves a mention on this.. 

    He's got a brand new car
    Looks like a jaguar
    It's got leather seats
    It's got a CD player

    But I don't wanna talk about it anymore
    I think we're gonna make it
    I think we're gonna save it
    So don't you try and fake it
    Anymore, anymore

    We'll start over again
    Grow ourselves new skin
    Get a house in Devon
    Drink cider from a lemon

    But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

    I think we're gonna make it
    I think we're gonna save it
    So don't you try and fake it
    Anymore, anymore

    Fun fact though, the lyrics are just guide vocals that Grant wrote for another band to use the song (SR-71 I think?) But the producer liked the song so much that he said he should keep it with the same lyrics too, and it ended up being the biggest song of their entire career!

    "She blow that dick like a cello" Lil yachty. 

    Obviously a cello is a string instrument 
    Maybe it was a lemon cello?

    "When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
    I can always hear them talk.
    Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk"

    Duran Duran - "You're about as easy as a nuclear war" in "Is there something I should know" is the most cringe inducing lyric in a song ever
    Similarly, another good song marred by a bad line is Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer

    "I'm serious as cancer
    When I say "Rhythm is a dancer"

    I thought it was 'drink cider from eleven '. I've been using it as a kind of mantra.

    My favourite band of the 70's TRex. Great band but the worst ever lyrics.

    Hot Love 1971

    Well she's my woman of gold

    And she's not very old - a ha ha
    Well she's my woman of gold
    And she's not very old - a ha ha
    I don't mean to be bold, a-but a-may I hold your hand?

    Well she ain't no witch and I love the way she twitch - a ha ha
    Well she ain't no witch and I love the way she twitch - a ha ha
    I'm a labourer of love in my persian gloves - a ha ha

    Well she's faster than most and she lives on the coast - a ha ha
    Well she's faster than most and she lives on the coast - a ha ha
    I'm her two-penny prince and I give her hot love - a ha ha

    Any worse than this out there Lifers?

    Can't possibly be...….?

    Marc Bolan, musics Shakespeare, you heard it here first, folks.

    We were at a party
    His ear lobe fell in the deep
    Someone reached in and grabbed it
    It was a rock lobster
    Rock lobster!
    Rock lobster!
    We were at the beach
    Everybody had matching towels
    Somebody went under a dock
    And there they saw a rock
    It wasn't a rock
    It was a rock lobster
    Rock lobster!
    Rock lobster!
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Motion in the ocean
    His air hose broke
    Lots of trouble
    Lots of bubble
    He was in a jam
    He's in a giant clam!
    Rock, rock
    Rock lobster!
    Down, down
    Underneath the waves
    Mermaids wavin'
    Wavin' to mermen
    Wavin' sea fans
    Sea horses sailin'
    Dolphins wailin'
    Rock lobster!
    Rock lobster!
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Red snappers snappin'
    Clam shells clappin'
    Muscles flexin'
    Flippers flippin'
    Rock, rock
    Rock lobster
    Down, down
    Lobster... rock!
    Lobster... rock!
    Let's rock!
    Boys and bikinis
    Girls and surfboards
    Everybody's rockin'
    Everybody's frugin'
    Twistin' round the fire, havin' fun
    Bakin' potatoes, bakin' in the sun
    Put on your noseguard
    Hit on the lifeguard
    Pass the tanning butter
    Here comes a stingray
    There goes a manta ray
    In walked a jellyfish
    There goes a dogfish
    Chased by a catfish
    In flew a sea robin
    Watch out for that piranha
    There goes a narwhal
    Here comes a bikini whale!
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster
    Rock lobster

    But I'll let them off because I quite like the song and they're all nuts.

    Think it might have been about Warren Beatty.

    Their eponymous first album was brilliant from start to finish.

    Pick and choose
    The things you wear
    Feel free to look around, with no obligation
    Times have changed
    So break new ground
    Feel free and take your time take a little
    Extra time, more time with no obligations
    Clothes, in Vogue, are all the rage
    But don't expect too much, they can't perform miracles
    Head to toe
    Disguised again, it's heavy when they say
    We don't perform miracles, no we don't perform miracles
    Ooh to be ah jetsetter
    Be ah head start
    Ooh to be ah, to be ah
    Look at me, ooh in something new
    Ooh to be ah
    Cool glossy mags, reveal the facts
    With a little bit of goo, it's usually in the who's who
    Place your bets, predict the favourite party of the day
    You'll find it in the who's who, who's there
    You'll find them in the who's who
    Ooh to be ah jetsetter
    Be ah head start
    Ooh to be ah, to be ah
    Look at me, ooh in something new
    Ooh to be ah

    Apparently this was co written by seven people, including one from Duran Duran. Absolute steaming pile.

    Dripping from a dead dog's eye
    Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
    Boy, you've been a naughty girl
    You let your knickers down
    I am the egg man
    They are the egg men
    I am the walrus
    Goo goo g'joob
