There is the obvious one in Kung Fu Fighting: "in fact it was a little bit frightening"!!!!
But the one stuck in my head (no idea why) is from Moonlight Shadow: "4 a.m. in the morning"!!!
When else is it 4 a.m. FFS.
Any more crap / annoying lines in songs?

Re: The Crap Lyric Thread
hard disagree on this one
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I just looked it up at dictionary.com and my mind is blown:
Related forms
as·sas·si·na·tion, noun
as·sas·si·na·tive, adjective
as·sas·si·na·tor, noun
coun·ter·as·sas·si·na·tion, noun
un·as·sas·si·nat·ed, adjective
I'm not happy.

Also, I'd like to think John Carpenter wrote the script for Escape From New York just trying to make sense of that line.

To be fair I think Fry is being deliberately surreal with that line, as it fits the general mood of the song.

Weller was in a trance at the supermarket, and lots of surreal things were happening. A tin of baked beans on toast was always going to fall on him.

This one jars with me:
“when the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard”.
Too many syllables or something!
