The Most Cliche Lyrics Ever

A delightful masterwork of cliches brought to you by Simple Plan, called "Welcome to My Life".




It's exceptional for covering such a large amount of cliche topics in one song. Welcome to a life that never matured beyond age 11. See lyrics below.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is overAre you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

[pre chorus]
[chorus]

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

[chorus ] x 2

Songs That Sound Like Other Songs Part 1:

All the time nowadays when new music comes out and I hear it for the first time, I often find myself saying... "Hey that sounds like that other song!". This series of posts will be dedicated to pointing out songs that sort of rip off melodies from other songs.

My Chemical Romance - "Teenagers":

Sounds like a combination of Billy Ray Cyrus's "Achy Breaky Heart" and the song "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini".

Public Service Announcement

Just thought I'd let you know. . .

"Hot Topic Is NOT Punk Rock!" by MC LARS

Quite Possibly the Worst Rap Song Ever?

During my last post you will recall I was watching one of Fuse's top video shows and caught a terrible cover of "Kiss Me" by Six Pence None the Richer. To really add insult to injury what immediately followed that video happened to be the video below. . . which in turn became a catalyst for me making this blog.

Soulja Boy - "Crank That (Soulja Boy)"



Now I don't really listen to all that much rap / hip hop music but I thought rap was supposed to be about sick beats , awesome lyrics and delivery. This really doesn't have any of the above. I knew things were getting bad on the hip hop side of music just as much as the rock side but wow. I think this quite possibly the worst rap song I've ever heard.


The whole song sounds like a bunch of random samples put together. It's very confusing. Each sentence seems to be cut off with "whoah's" and "you's", and you keep thinking the song is gonna go one way and then another. After two minutes or so of the same thing it becomes pretty disorienting.

In most bad hip hop usually there is just really weak lyrics and bad rhyming (i.e. 50 cent) but they've found away to get beyond that. In this song they barely even have sentences that rhyme together and when they do it's just kind of odd.

For example:

"Yes I Crank It Everyday
Haterz Get Mad Cuz
I Got Me Some Bathin Apes"

(Unfortunately I found out "bathing apes" was a type of shoe so this line actually makes sense)

Well here is another exampe:

"Soulja boy, I'm the man
They be looking at my neck
Saying it's the rubber band man (man)
Watch me do it (watch me do it)
Dance (dance)"

After watching it for a while I didn't really understand what was going on anymore. I guess that's the point. I wondered what went through the artist's and producer's heads when they made this. I tried to find some interviews or anything that might give me a clue but I came up empty. All I could find was Soulja Boy's website which had the most advertising on it I think I've ever seen. Well I guess that's a clue right there. . .

The Kiss of Death, Terrible Cover Song

So I was watching Fuse for some reason the other day, and I started watching some sort of top 10 or 20 video's out right now thing they had on. All the sudden, I hear the opening chords of "Kiss Me" by Six Pence None the Richer . I was like wtf is this doing on here? But I soon realized it wasn't the beginning of their video.

I waited for Leigh Bingham Nash's lovely voice to come in and charm me with it's sweet melodies when suddenly I was assulted by a high pitch whiny male voice that seemed eerily familiar. For the first second or so I sort of busted out laughing at it but then this quickly turned into nausea. Now disgusted by the initial sound I continued to torture myself by watching the rest to see who just ruined this song. It was none other than New Found Glory. I thought I had been rid of them. I hadn't heard anything from them in a few years, and it seemed most pop punk bands had fallen off the radar or morphed into some sort of Emo band.

Alas it was true they were back (which is offensive enough) but then they had to kick it up a notch and go and butcher "Kiss Me". Turning the once cute and likeable song into a heap of whiny modern garbage.
