The worst lyrics in the world.... ever? RADIO 1 presenter Jo Whiley has been asking listeners to send in what they thought were the worst song lyrics ever.
This week she compiled the suggestions and mixed them together to produce one cheesy, but arguably catchy tune called The Greatest Bad Song, which can still be heard on the station's website.
Not wanting to be left out, the Daily Echo's finest fromagers decided to come up with their own personal favourites.
U.G.L.Y you ain't got no alibi, you ugly, Daphne and Celeste.
Thanks for that girls, but what happened to inner beauty? I may be ugly, but I'm pretty sure I could come up with something better than that for the chorus of my debut song.
If you wannabe my lover, you gotta get with my friends, Spice Girls.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but personally the last thing I want is for a guy I like to hook up with my mates. Share and share alike, eh ladies?
I'm a genie in a bottle, gotta rub me the right way, Christina Aguilera.
This would sound fine in Disney's Aladdin, but for a pop song I'm not so convinced.
However, for the male of the species I would imagine having Christina encased in a bottle is their idea of heaven.
The need inside you, I see it showin', whoa, the seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin? Paul Anka.
No I can't, thank heavens. And I am not a plant and do not wish to be pollinated by you thank you very much Mr Anka.
I wasn't lookin for arty farty love, Alphabeat.
What exactly is arty farty love, love? I can safely say it's not something I'm desperate to find either, but I wouldn't go singing about it.
Hit me baby one more time, Britney Spears.
Trust me Brits, I'm sure there's plenty of people that would wallop you after your recent behaviour around your children but I don't think that's the kind of hit you're really singing about.
I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world, life in plastic, it's fantastic, Aqua.
I must admit that the lyrics from the majority of 90s pop-band Aqua's songs are without doubt, random, but this tops the lot. Unless you're Jordan or Pamela Anderson, plastic is not the way to go to enjoy a fuller, more fantastic life.
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight? Lonnie Donegan.
Of course it does Lonnie. It goes rock hard and flavourless and to be quite honest it isn't exactly the most hygienic thing to do. Chew, enjoy, bin. Right?
Usually drink, usually dance, usually bubble, Wiley.
The first two bits I get. A normal night out would definitely include a fair amount of drinking and dancing, but what does he mean by bubble? Have a bubble bath? Blow bubbles? Get inside a gigantic blow up bubble and bounce around the club? It's beyond me.
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind, The Rolling Stones.
Let's just hope they aren't singing about Ronnie Wood's recent relationship exposure with the Russian cocktail waitress. Surely she's only just old enough to have learned to blow her own nose?
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains, Shakira.
Fair comment, but I'm pretty sure Peter Andre doesn't wake up every morning thinking he's in the Alps:
I'm afraid of the dark, especially when I'm in the park, Des'ree.
Well you shouldn't really be in random parks after the lights go out should you Des'ree? That's just asking for trouble.
But I don't want no pigeons, yet pigeons can scrub my dishes, Ludacris.
Ludicrous.
It's raining men, The Weather Girls.
I wish ladies, I wish, but even having lived in Cardiff for three years where it rains almost every day, unfortunately I've never seen such a sight.
This is my face, covered in freckles with the occasional spot and some veins, Kate Nash.
Thanks Kate, but we're quite able to distinguish your face from the rest of you without you singing about it.
Mmm bop, ba du ba dop, Ba du ba dop, Du be du ba du be dop, Du be dop, ah, doo. Yeah, Mmm bop, ba du ba dop, Ba du ba dop, Du be du ba du be dop, Du be dop, ah, doo. Yeah, Hanson.
Genius?

Maybe get out of the Echo office and do a bit of investigative journalism rather than cut and pasting stuff of the BBC. Worst local news service more like.

Posted by: laurie marsh, australia on 12:13pm Sat 19 Jul 08 The worst lyric has to be the "rap crap" being played by the "doof doof" idiot in the car parked next to me at the traffic lights!
He might not be deaf quite yet but give him time! The worst lyric has to be the "rap crap" being played by the "doof doof" idiot in the car parked next to me at the traffic lights!
