Well, I don't know if these are the worst, but I think some of the lyrics
on the Police's Synchronicity album are pretty bad.  Example:

	Mephistopheles is not your name
	I know what you're up to just the same

A good example of just how far some people will go in forcing a rhyme
just to show off how well-read they are.  At least he avoided trying
to rhyme something with "Mephistopheles".  (Did I spell that right?)
