World's Worst Lyrics: Your Song

The Culprit

The Offending Lyric

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen


Why is it bad?


That's why.

Haha. I think it sounds more than just insincere. Those lyrics seem so awkward and bubbling. Reminds me of when Pam starts dating Roy again after they break up on The Office. After going to her art show he says, "Your art...was the prettiest art...of all the art."

But Elton John's voice has enough sincerity to make up for this, for the most part.

Then again, I've liked Elton John a lot less since a classmate of mine pointed out some of his lyrics that were really offensive towards ethnic women, that a boy she was dating unknowingly sent her in an email. Sucks for him.

A really close 2nd runner-up in this contest is Uncle Albert by Paul McCartney and Wings. I'm mean:

Someone's knocking at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockinga t the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell.
Do me a favor,
Open the door
And let them in.

Really? Really? That's the best you could write? Help us all!
