MK's Worst Lyric Ever?
« on: August 10, 2009, 01:14:50 PM »
A couple of real stinkers here from MK, but which is worse?  :)

(And before people start having a go at me "All of MK's lyrics are good, this is very insulting to MK etc etc etc", this is just a bit of fun.)

I voted for the 1st one, because I love the truffling line! Especially the way he says truff-a-ling. I can think of much worse MK lyrics than those 2 lines!

"I love the chicks, don`t get me wrong. Hey thats why i wrote this song...."


Groan! ::)
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!

Ah Fletch, that's awful too. I remember having an argument at school once about how great DS were and I almost had to concede defeat when my opponent quoted that one.

I'll add it to the poll. :)

Dusty did you remember the arena doc about Dire Straits? There was a part with Mark reading his notebook.

Hmm, I'm vetoing those (It's my poll, so I can do what I want!)

Rollergirl, I almost included that TLWNF, not because it's that bad a lyric, but because it really has nothing to do with the rest of the song.

WM, I know where you're coming from with DCTA - it just sounds out of place when MK swears, ever. Also, it doesn't make sense, Bush handing over to Bush... what the hell happened to Clinton? But apart from that it's not that bad a lyric.

And Whoop De Doo is a great lyric, what are you talking about man?!

I understand the line "Bush. . . . Bush."    Clinton was irrelavent in this instance.   Bush the First didn't do that much damage, but Bush the Second could never have been elected without the dyanastical (is that a word?) influence.  Bush II continued his father's conservative policies with no intelligence or decent judgment at all.   Like Henry VI after Henry V, even to the point of his not being able to think enough to rule for himself, allowing corrupt powers behind him to influcence every thing he did.     
Uh, am I ranting? :o
But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best
To get along
