Most insipid song ever?

[Cail]

Good call dAN.

[dANdeLION]

This is the mental picture that song gives me:


"I'm a cowboy!"

[Cameraman Jenn]

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

[trumpet]

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

[Cameraman Jenn]

I wake up every mornin',
I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin',
another day ahead
It seems to last forever,
and time goes slowly by
Till babe and me's together,
then it starts to fly

'Cause the moment that he's with me,
time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me,
everything's alright
Night time is the right time,
we make love
Then it's his and my time, we take off

*My baby takes the morning train,
he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
to find me waitin' for him

Chorus

He takes me to a movie,
or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing, anything I want
Only when he's with me,
I catch light
Only when he gives me,
makes me feel alright

Chorus

All day I think of him,
dreamin' of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him,
and he's crazy mad for me
When he steps off that train,
I'm makin' a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay,
so we can play all night

Chorus

Chorus

He's always on that morning train
He works so hard
To find me waiting for him...

Never Gonna Let You Go


I was as wrong as I could be to let you get away from me
I'll regret that move for as long as I'm living
But now that I've come to see the light
All I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word and tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Looking back now it seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh, you gave it all and I took it for granted
But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flicker of love that still shines through
Let's talk it out
Let's talk about second chances

Wait and see
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

[break]

So if you'll just say you want me too...

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go
Hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

[A Gunslinger]

This thread is making me downright ill.

Keep you eyes on the horizon, Guns, and breathe.

Here's a challenger:

Terry Jacks

Seasons In The Sun


Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach

[Menolly]

*sigh*

I like that song, High L-rd.

*hanging head in deep shame*

...of course, I could always nominate Run, Joey, Run if that one hasn't been mentioned yet...

Hinder - Lips Of An Angel
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtnf9EqijT0



Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?

[Damelon]

Menolly and Infelice, I can only sadly shake my head.


Here's a couple of classics:

The horse ran away!

And Michael Jackson's ode to a rat.

SHANNON - HENRY GROSS
www.youtube.com/watch?v=VESx0tpTL5I

ANOTHER DAY IS AT END
MAMA SAYS SHE'S TIRED AGAIN
NO ONE CAN EVEN BEGIN TO TELL HER

I HARDLY KNOW WHAT TO SAY
BUT MAYBE IT'S BETTER THAT WAY
IF PAPA WERE HERE I'M SURE HE'D TELL HER

SHANNON IS GONE I HOPE SHE'S DRIFTING OUT TO SEA
SHE ALWAYS LOVED TO SWIM AWAY
MAYBE SHE'LL FIND AN ISLAND WITH A SHADY TREE
JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD

MAMA TRIES HARD TO PRETEND THINGS WILL GET
BETTER AGAIN
SOMEHOW SHE'S KEEPING IT ALL INSIDE HER

BUT FINALLY THE TEARS FILL OUR EYES
AND I KNOW THAT SOMEWHERE TONIGHT
SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH WE REALLY MISS HER

SHANNON IS GONE I HOPE SHE'S DRIFTING OUT TO SEA
SHE ALWAYS LOVED TO SWIM AWAY
MAYBE SHE'LL FIND AN ISLAND WITH A SHADY TREE
JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD

JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD

[Cagliostro]

The Winner

Actually, out of all of these, this is the one I can take the most of. Yeah, it's dumb. No argument from me. It just reminds me of simpler times. And I think the Barbie song is supposed to be insipid. I think there is a point to it being that way.

I know I'll be clubbed for this, but I think Margaritaville from Jimmy Buffet is one of the most insipid songs I've heard. I'd post the lyrics, but we all know them. In fact, I was accosted with them earlier this morning after first arriving at work, which is why it was the first in my mind when I saw this list.

[Cail]

I'd go as far to say that Jimmy Buffet is the most insipid artist ever.

[emotional leper]

I have the winner here.

I read Shojo Manga and watch anime based off of it. I know insipid songs.

[Cagliostro]

I'd go as far to say that Jimmy Buffet is the most insipid artist ever.

I like you Cail.

[Sunbaneglasses]

Dont wanna wait til you know me better
Lets just be glad for the time together
Lifes such a treat and its time you taste it
There aint a reason on earth to waste it
It aint a crime to be good to yourself
Chorus:
Lick it up, lick it up, its only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

Dont need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like youre on vacation
Theres something sweet you cant buy with money - lick it up, lick it up
Its all you need, so believe me honey
It aint a crime to be good to yourelf

Chorus

Come on - its only right now (its only right now)
Ooh yeah (ooh yeah) ooh yeah (ooh yeah), yeah yeah

[Worm of Despite]

This song is insipid, but in a good way (if such is possible). You really have to hear it to get the full effect.

Push th' Little Daisies, by Ween

When you lie, kiss your baby bye bye bye
And if youre true, the whole wide world will laugh with you
When we see nothings wrong with you and me
Time will tell, it might even bring a wedding bell

If you think that Im a loser
Well you suck, cause you know I aint nothin but a user
Of your love I cant get enough
Girl its true, the whole wide world is smiling with you

Push th little daisies and make em come up

Sometimes I know, and sometimes Im on the go
But Im comin back, so dont give me no flack, yeah
Its all you, and its me too
And its your world, yous the girl, yous the girl
Happier than shit, things that might go click with me
Click with you, is that love? is that love, ohhh...

Push th little daisies and make em come up

Watch the little daisies grow, little daisies grow
Now just push th little daisies and make em come up
Watch them grow, watch them grow
As I push the little daisies and make em come up
Make em come up, make em come up,
Make em come up, say

Push th little daisies and make em come up
