We have a late entrant (updated) so that's 20 noms all up.

I'm not going to run the worst lyrics comp - feel free to discuss in the thread though.

Good luck!

Went and saw AC/DC last night and had a great time, probably would of been my only chance to see them before they decided to hang it up.

HowWhyWot?

 

[por_please_ya]

Making me think badger badger badger

 

[Fossie 32]

[JHF1870]

I can't remember the next song that came on with Youtube but it was equally as bad lyrics wise

 

[JHF1870]

Tough list with some good songs to miss out. Pretty sure I gave Riv 5 votes as I saw a few familiar songs on Spotify radio.

Bit of a conflict deciding who to Billy.

Here's asong I could have submitred maybe.
It's called The Pie.
I used to love the chorus and had remembered it.
Never could figure out why it was called
'The Pie'...
One day a few years ago, I went looking for it and found out it had been banned from many radio stations.
I looked up the lyrics.

Lyrics

When I say I love you
You just act like I don't know
Trying hard to prove you're near me
Always asking if you hear me
Telling me it's nothing
When you say you've got to go
Well, I'm trying to unwind
It's my loneliness that's binding me to you.
Ah, when I say I love you
Now it really means I love you
Don't you know?
And if I give you something
It's because you give me something
That you don't know
Hey don't you know?
Ah, when I say I love you
I can only give you pain
I can only bring you heartaches
I will always be the same
And when I say I love you
I can only speak your name
I can only take your number
If I ask you, "Don't deny me" one more time.
Ah, when I say I love you
Now it really means I love you
Don't you know?
And when the pie is open
There'll be many more to love you
And you don't know
Hey, you don't know!

So , I would have said that's a great song! I remember that! Great chorus. But now I could never say it's a great song.

As for 'I Am The Walrus'

How you can say that's not a great lyric is beyond me. It makes the song what it is...which is great. Fits perfectly...describes a happening...camon. Y'all know that.
I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus
Kookookachoo

Can a dance track with no lyrics be great?

FTFY

 

[MP_]

Can a dance track with no lyrics be great?

Absolutely

It isn't a song then Stokey. It's an instrumental.
Also , I still think 'The Pie' has a great chorus, but how I feel about the song is forever changed.
