Here are a couple of dumb songs off the top of my head:

"Knock Three Times," Tony Orlando. An apartment tenant in love with the woman one floor below him urges her to knock three times on the ceiling if she's interested in him, twice on the pipe if she's not. Question - why can't she just use the telephone?

"The Night Chicago Died," Paper Lace. The opening line is, "Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago." There is no east side of Chicago - the lake is east!

"Let'em In," Paul McCartney and Wings. "Someone's knocking at the door, somebody's ringing the bell. (REPEAT) Do me a favor; open the door, and let'em in." A Beatle wrote this?? :(

Steve, I agree with you 100% on "Let 'Em In". The same could probably be said for Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, but the music is so good that it makes up for the lyrics. I just sing along when some of these songs come on the radio and don't know what the hell I'm singing about. Many of my favorite 70's rock bands wrote songs that make no sense, but you have to remember that most of them were high as a kite when they wrote these masterpieces. Pink Floyd's one of my favorite bands, I dig all of their songs but man what were they smoking?LOL
Here's what I'm submitting, and maybe you'll agree with this one:
"Living in a Box" by Living in a Box

Loved the song, but it sounds like they were glorifying being homeless. LOL

but it got closed after an argument broke out. Que Lastima! (What a Pity!)
Anyways, my picks are:

"My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard"
"Knookie real good (That juicay juicay)" (It sounds like an ameteaur won a radio contest and got a chance to record their own song in a REAL LIVE studio. LOL)
"In those Jeans" by Ginuwine
"Gigilo" by Nick Cannon and R Kelly
"One and One isn't two"
"It's a piece of sh** car" (a silly reggae parody song)
"Don't mess with my toot toot" (a song from 1985, my mother would threaten to spank me if I sang this song at 7 years old)
"Don't mess with my man/girl" (not entirely dumb, just a little mindless)
"When I'm Five" (By David Bowie)
"Ground Control" (By David Bowie) (A little scary for me)
"Lollipop" by Aqua (a little silly)
"I see you baby...shakin' that a**" (again, it sounds like someone won the ameteur day contest and got to record their own song as a souvenir to take home from a talk show that helps you live your dream for a day)
"Just SHAKE YOUR A**" by Ludacris (The term "Ludacris" describes this song and what is he yelling for? "JUST SHAKE YOUR A**. WATCH YOURSELF")
"Magic Stick" by Lil Kim and 50 cent
"Let me work it" by Missy Elliot

Man that's a pretty bad CD. You're right, that would kill any party.lol However, "Convoy" is one of my guilty pleasure songs. Everybody has at least one corny song they like.

pretty much any hip hop song, especially the ones that teens are obsessive about like "milkshake" and "my neck my back".. and any stupid song about big pimpin', yo. like that one that a bunch of rappers did together called P.I.M.P. or whatever. ***s.

It's one of my favorite as well, so you are not alone. LOL. I agree with the previous post B4 mine about "My Milkshake" it has a good beat, but makes no sense at all and is mindless. "I can teach you, but I'll have to charge".

Two other dumb songs I keep hearing at the store where I work are "Shake Your Booty" by K.C. and the Sunshine Band and "Shake Your Bon-Bon" by Ricky Martin. Enough with the posterior jiggling already! :mad:

am I the only person who likes this song? it's gotten played out but I like almost all of the Kelis album. Go figure the one r&b/hip hop song that's big this year that I actually like that isn't someone like Janet or Prince, is the one that everybody hates

surely you jest? Space Oddity is the song responsible for launching David into the stratosphere. David IMO is the greatest male artist EVER, if you wanna pick a "bad" David song, there's quite a few songs between 1984-1993 that are more fitting for this subject (87 And Cry anyone?)

That reminds me of a few lyrics from Journey's Don't Stop Believin' song:

Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit...

South Detroit?!? You go south of Detroit, you end up in Windsor, Ontario -in CANADA!

everyone at my school sings it all the time. i know quite a bit of the lyrics even though ive only heard it once, thanks to them. :wallbang

Practically any song by Duran Duran is dumb because a lot of those songs made absolutely no sense. "The Union of the Snake?" Wha? :confused:

How could I have forgotten these dum-dum ditties? Oh, that's right, I wanted to forget them! :lol: :p

Part one? Rick Dees actually recorded a second part? :eek2:

Here Comes the Rain Again- I forget who sings it.

When We Dance-Sting Althoguh I really like this song, it doesn't makes sense.

When we dance, angels will run and hide there wings.......huh??? Like that makes sense. Why are they hiding there wings and if they are, can't they fly rather then run? LOL LOL

The Eurythmics sang it. By the way, is it just me, or is it no accident that Annie Lennox only became great once she no longer had Dave Stewart around? :p

21. I’d Love to Teach the World to Sing The New Seekers Hooked On A Feeling was originally a top 5 hit for B.J. Thomas in 1968 in a serious form. I kind of like Blue Swede's version of it with the Ooga Chagas and everything and they have used their version in commercials for mouthwash and cereal.

Also I would like to add Una Paloma Blanca by the George Baker Selection as kinda of a guilty pleasure song as well.

Any Rave/Techno "music" is all pretty dumb. It gives me a headache even at a low volume. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aktion/action-smiley-001.gif

Brand New Key. One of the most useless, stupid, and unbearable songs I have ever heard.

Some people thought the "Ooga Chaga" chants were African; in fact, their were Scandinavian. Blue Swede was a Norwegian group. (They should have left pop to Sweden! ABBA rules, dude! :D )

ABBA rules!! I like their music a lot as well. From Waterloo and Dancing Queen to The Winner Takes It All,they were great. I heard that someone offered the members of ABBA 1 billion(no kidding) dollars to tour the world but they turned them down flat. I wonder why. I know that all of the members have remarried to other people,but I wonder why they would turn down 1 billion dollars.

There's a song by The Carpenters that was out in 1977 that I don't really understand. It's called "Calling All Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft". It went to number 33 that year and was 7 minutes long. I have it on one of their greatest hits compliations and I can't make heads or tails of what they are talking about in that song. I don't know whether to call it a dumb song or not.

That song was orignally recorded by Klaatu, a band of faceless Canadian studio musicians, a year earlier. When Klaatu's album came out in 1976, rumors started that the group was actually the Beatles reunited, and it helped Klaatu's album sales - briefly. Don't ask me how the Carpenters ended up doing this song! :eek:

Babes In Toyland did a cool version of "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" on the 1994 Carpenters tribute LP If I Were a Carpenter. :)

Did you know that The Carpenters' first hit was a Beatles song?? It was their version of Ticket To Ride and it went to number 54 in late 1969. It is an extremely slower version than the Beatles' originial.

It was too slow!

Be Yourself Tonight and Savage WEREN'T great albums? I loved the Eurythmics yet find solo Annie a snoozefest. Nothing Annie did solo comes close (IMO only) to the Savage album.

Sounds like you disliked Eurythmics because of the era they came out moreso than the music they made, because they made some of the most consistant albums of the era.

Right Said Fred- I'm Too Sexy
Chumbawumba- Tub Thumping
Hanson- Umm Bop
Sisqo- Thong Song
Lou Bega- Mambo No. 5
Spice Girls- All songs were dumb IMO.
Ween- Push The Little Daisies
Prodigy- Smack My Bitch Up

Also - "Elvira" by the Oak Ridge Boys! :barf:

Randy Newman wrote and sang "Short People" to make a point about bigotry, but it went over people's heads. Most listeners thought Newman was serious about hating short people, and they were saying things like, "Doesn't Newman know how stupid it is to hate people just because their short?" That was the point about bigotry in the song - to show how stupid it was to hate someone because of their race, religion, or ethnic origin by showing someone who was bigoted against short people.

Newman's narrators are alwas unlikable people expressing stupid ideas. Newman isn't like that himself. :)

Well, even if his intentions were good, I still find the song to be irritating. :o

"Rubber Band Man" by the Spinners. The lyrics celebrate a dude who can play a rubber band like a musical instrument, placed "between his toes" and "all around his nose" with so much rhythm, grace, and all that rot. And "you're bound to lose control" when you hear him play his rubber band. But it's still a fun song to listen to.

Oh, get down, brother! Ha-HAH! (Do do do do do!) :lol:
