I've been robbed! I thought I had three of the worst songs (lyricaly) until Doug stole two of them. However, I still have my ace. The worst lyrics ever recorded are in "Navvy" by Pere Ubu, from the album "Dub Housing". "I've got these arms and legs that flip, flop, flip, flop! I've got these arms and legs that flip, flop, flip, flop! I've got these arms and legs that flip, flop, flip, flop! I've got these arms and legs that flip, flop, flip, flop! I got desire! I got desire! I've got these arms and legs that flip, flop, flip, flop! I've got these arms and legs that flip, flop, flip, flop! Boy that sounds swell. Boy that sounds swell. Boy that sounds swell...." And if you think the lyrics are bad wait until you hear the music. I can only think of one person who would let me play the whole song for them. I don't care. I still like Pere Ubu.
