Re: The worst/stupidest lyrics ever?

Timothy Leary was a psychologist who became famous for experimenting with LSD as a way to promote social interaction and raise consciousness. Leary did many experiments on volunteers and himself and felt the drug had many positive qualities if taken correctly. When the government cracked down on LSD, Learys experiments were stopped and he was arrested on drug charges. In 1969 Leary decided to run for Governor of California and asked John Lennon to write a song for him. Come Together Join The Party was Learys campaign slogan a reference to the drug culture he supported and was the original title of the song. Leary never had much of a campaign but the slogan gave Lennon the idea for this song.

"He [Flowers] says the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers."

I also read that.

Are we "dancer" = people who all think and act alike, like dancers moving in q, too afraid to do something that requires breaking routine and being different.

Or are we "human" = individuals who can think for ourselves.

After I read this explanation it made a lot more sense although I still could not decide if it was deep or lame lol. Still, I like the song and love The Killers:D:punk:
 
Re: The worst/stupidest lyrics ever?

After Timothy Leary decided against using this song for his political campaign Lennon added some nonsense lyrics and brought it to the Abbey Road sessions. Paul McCartney recalled in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs I said Lets slow it down with a swampy bass and drums vibe. I came up with a bass line and it all flowed from there." It was the last time all 4 Beatles cut a song together.

In a 1980 interview with Playboy magazine, John Lennon said The thing was created in the studio. It's gobbledygook. Come Together was an expression that Tim Leary had come up with for perhaps for the governorship of California against Reagan and he asked me to write a campaign song. I tried and I tried but I couldnt come up with one. But I came up with this Come Together which wouldve been no good to him -you couldnt have a campaign song like that right?

John Lennon was sued for stealing the guitar riff and the line Here comes old flat top from Chuck Berrys You Can't Catch Me. The lawsuit did not come from Berry but from Morris Levy one of the music industrys most infamous characters. He owned the song along with thousands of other early rock songs that he basically stole from the poor black and unrepresented artists. Levy sued the Beatles or more accurately John Lennon over the song around the time the Beatles broke up. For years Lennon delayed the trial while he and the Beatles tried to sort out all the legal and business problems that plagued Apple Records. Finally in an attempt to avoid the court room as much as he could Lennon felt like he was appearing in court more often than not he settled with Levy. In return for dropping the suit Lennon agreed to record his rock n roll album which was just a series of covers of songs Levy owned. Lennon always wanted to make a cover album and was thrilled to have the opportunity and Levy wanted the value of his songs to increase and when a Beatle re records a song that is just what happens. To make a long long long story short Lennon recorded the album over the Lost Weekend a year or two period when he was separated from Yoko Ono and lived in LA. During that time he was often drunk or high and was rather sloppy and useless. Levy was getting frustrated with the lack of progress. Phil Spector was the producer but in a fit of madness which was not too unusual for Spector he ran away and stole the recording session tapes. Levy invited Lennon to his upstate NY recording studio and that is where he finally recorded the album.

A rotary phone was used to make the sound heard before each verse and after the chorus. The sound was accompanied by the bass Paul played.

The line Ono sideboard refers to Yoko.

The whispered lyric that sounds like shoot is actually Lennon saying shoot me followed by a hand clap. The bass line drowns out the me.

Because they wanted to use the word as an adjective instead of a noun. Instead of saying are we dancers, they wanted to say are we like dancers/do we have the characteristics of dancers = Are we dancer? They do the same thing with are we human (instead of are we humans), it's just that dancer isn't usually used like that. Phew, hope that makes sense!
 
Re: The worst/stupidest lyrics ever?

when Jennifer Lopez was singing about not being into materialistic shit, did she sing "If I want to floss I got my own!"

Worlds most pointless and stupidest lyric ever!

The Beatles - Come Together. i thought it was funny because i never understood it. but a great song.

Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me!

Here come old flattop. He come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball. He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me!

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot Coca-Cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me!

He bad production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Shoot me! Shoot me! Shoot me!

Ow!

Come together! Come together! Come together!

the Commodores- Lionel Richie -three times a lady

i dont know why but i thought it was a weird choice of words since some people did not know what he meant..
was he singing to a voluptuous woman?
was it a great woman that she was 3 times perfection..
or was it three different women all together. which i later found out.:doh:

'Come Together' is more about the sounds of the words than the meaning and it does that brilliantly.... it sounds easy, but it's harder that it seems.

You could say this about any singer/group. Not everyone likes any one act.
