   Well, if we're still nominating songs with the worst (read "most stupid")
lyrics, I nominate:
 
    ANYTHING BY DURAN DURAN
 
 
    My favorite is their latest "hit"--"The Reflex".  You know, the one
that contains such profundities as:
 
    "Why don't you choose it
      Try not to bruise it
      Buy time don't lose it..."
 
    The lyrics to most of their other tunes ("Hungry Like The Wolf",
"Rio", "Is There Something I Should Know?") are equally bad.  I don't 
think I've ever seen a group whose lyrics are so consistently
moronic.  It's almost as if they pick words at random out of the 
dictionary and group them loosely into partial English sentences.
