I actually LOVE that lyric by Duran Duran!


A poll done for the BBC6 Music's Marc Riley Show picked the ten worst verses in pop songs.

Naturally, because it was the BBC, the winners were overwhelmingly British. And no rap.

Can we do better? Er, worser?

Top 10 Worst Pop Lyrics

1 DES'REE - LIFE
I don't want to see a ghost
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the evening news


2 SNAP - RHYTHM IS A DANCER
I'm as serious as cancer
When I say rhythm is a dancer


3 RAZORLIGHT - SOMEWHERE ELSE
And I met a girl
She asked me my name
I told her what it was


4 ABC - THAT WAS THEN BUT THIS IS NOW
More sacrifices than an Aztec priest
Standing here straining at that leash
All fall down
Can't complain, mustn't grumble
Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble


5 U2 - ELEVATION
I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
High and high in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation


6 TOTO - AFRICA
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti


7 OASIS - CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you when we were getting high?


8 DURAN DURAN - IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW?
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war


9 HUMAN LEAGUE - THE LEBANON
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide


10 BLACK SABBATH - WAR PIGS
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
