Killing Me Softly... Review on Twenty Worst English Songs

Elvis Presley once said 'I don't know anything about music, in my line you don't have to.' A quote I think most of his successors in the music world took a little too seriously. Case in Point – the following is a list of the ten worst English to be ever made on the face of the earth. I must warn you, reading this might bring to your mind some repressed memories. Brace yourselves.

1. Informer Snow(1991)

The creation of the universe, UFO’s, Marilyn Manson, all don’t seem like mysteries when compared to the lyrics of this song. Snow, the rapper from Canada made it big with ‘Informer’ in 1991 and ever since, scientists around the world have been trying to decipher it. Now, if only Snow could Inform us what he was trying to say. Does the expression “A- Li-Key Boom Boom Down” sound familiar?

1. Candy Shop 50 Cent(2005)

50 Cent(which is a metaphor for change), is now synonymous with offensive and outrageous videos and nonsensical https://lyrics. Take for instance “I’ll take you to the candy shop, I’ll let you lick the lollipop. blah.blah.won’t you stop.whoa.” I mean who wants to listen to something like that? I think 50 needs to take lessons from Eminem and Dr.Dre(who produced him). They are at least worth a dollar!

1. Hit me baby on more time Britney Spears(1997)

What makes this song really bad is the fact that the no matter how hard you listen to it, the lyrics make no sense. Let’s paraphrase: Loneliness is killing Britney.Show her what you want it to be. when she is not with someone, she is losing her mind. She confesses that she still believes that some one will give her a sign.how was she suppose to know.

Someone give her a &*%@$ hit already.

1. Ice Ice Baby Vanilla Ice(1991)

Vanilla Ice is probably one of the greatest historical examples of a one-hit-wonder. This song, with it hauntingly catchy tune plummeted him to the top of the charts back in the early 1990’s. The Brightside is that now we can reflect on how meaningless this song really is.

1. I’m a Barbie Girl Aqua(1997)

This is undoubtedly one of the dumbest songs ever written because it sounds like a five-year-old wrote it. Which self-respecting adult would sing the lines “You can brush my hair, Undress me anywhere”. What makes it worse is that it was cherished by millions, who sang along foolishly when it first came out.

1. Pour Some Sugar on me Def Leppard(1980-something)

What I learnt from this song is that in the 80’s, Joe Elliot of Def Leppard was apparently “Hot, Sticky and Sweet, from his head, to his feet.” Were they lyrical intellects or what?

4.I miss you Like crazy The Moffats(Mid 1990’s)

The Moffats said it all in this song with the lyrics “I miss you like crazy, Even more than words can say.” and they repeated it 21 million times. They are due to stop sometime in March of 2026.

3.MMMM Bop! Hanson(1996)

This song is what happened when three adolescent golden-haired brothers got together and blurted out random words and sounds in a studio like “.gone so fast.so fast.can you tell me.MMMM Bop.ba da paap. yeah.i wanna know.no one knows.MMMM bop.du bop. can you MMMM bop.gone. not there.can you tell me.what you don’t know.MMM bop.duuuu.yeah.”

To top it all off, in the video, they sang in front of flowers and made grotesque dance moves.$%#!@!*&

2.WannabeSpice Girls(1996)

The spice girls were an industry of their own in UK. They had million dollar advertising contracts, movies, TV appearances, product endorsements, sold-out concerts, cheesy individual names like posh spice and baby spice. If only they did something about their music. In this song, the girls seem to really, really, really want a  “Zig-a-Zia aaa”.

1.Macarena Los Del Rio(1997)

I don’t know what people were thinking when they made it dance favourite. This song got more air-play than episodes of full-house. Most of the words are in Spanish, but this doesn’t prevent the song from ringing in your head over and over again. Then, to make it worse, a girl comes on saying some very unpleasant, radio-unfriendly things that you would rather no visualize.

Here are the songs that are the runners up:
