Top Ten Cheesiest Song Lyrics

Some songs can have rather questionable lyrics that would either make your head shake or just have you laughing in disbelief on how bad and cheesy they could sound. Go ahead and explain what song cringes you the most?
The Top Ten
1 "She got a big booty, so I call her Big Booty - Birthday Song (2 Chainz)

Derogatory term aside, is that even an appropriate song to play for someone's birthday in the first place? Also, that naming choice is so uninspired and bland. Calling someone "Big Booty" because, well, she has a big booty? You've got to be really uncreative for that one, 2 Chainz.

Honestly, I think most of these are just plain awful lyrics rather than necessarily cheesy ones.

The funny thing is, most of the people who like this song think these are deep, meaningful lyrics.

2 "She wants to break up every night. Then tries to F**k me back to life" - Break Up Every Night (The Chainsmokers)

Either this is a break-up song, or this song is talking about necrophilia. Well then, I guess sexual intercourse can apparently resurrect someone. God, what a terrible song this is, and so is the album it came from.

Don't forget the one from "Bloodstream" about him being "f-ed up, faded, and so complicated." That one is a real doozy.

Just thinking that the singer could even hold a date for that long is surprising...

3 "Sometimes we swim around, like the Dolphins in the Ocean of our Hearts" Every Other Time (LFO)

Am I supposed to believe there are dolphins swimming under my heart? Does a mammal generate my heartbeat? LFO was a band that people were really into during the early 2000s, so this song was common back then. It might have been cool for its time, but now, it has aged badly. Its lyrical content becomes laughable once you start dissecting it.

LFO in general have garbage lyrics.

4 "It's Everyday Bro with that Disney Channel flow" - It's Everyday Bro (Jake Paul)

Wow. What a way to start your song, Jake Paul. You set a new record for cringing out most of your listeners at the same time.

I get that he was in Bizaardvark, a Disney Channel show, but did we really need an opening line where Jake flat-out says "Disney Channel flow"?

And now we have another example of why Disney Channel stars usually turn out badly in the long run.

What? (I'm misspelling that on purpose). This lyric is just SO cheesy! It doesn't even make sense!

5 "Holy (3x) and I'm High On Loving You" - H.O.L.Y. (Florida Georgia Line)

Could you get any more pretentious? Comparing loving someone to getting high on drugs via acronyms is such a pathetic and unnecessary move. Then again, epic cheesiness is what's expected from bro-country songs these days.

This is why the country music gag is prominent on many profile pictures.

6 "You make my crazy little heart go Boom!" - Boom (Simple Plan)

I do like Simple Plan, and yes, there are some genuinely good songs in their earlier discographies. This song, however, is bad, plain and simple. It disappoints me because, at a time when we expect bands to mature with their lyrics, Simple Plan seems to have regressed. Many love songs are cheesy, but they can still be enjoyable or even good. With Simple Plan, a band that's been around for a decade since the release of their debut album, I expect maturity, not this.

7 "Me plus you, that equals better equations, we must do subtraction of your clothes" - Riverside (Let's Go) (Sidney Samson ft Wizard Sleeve)

Sounds like a frat boy trying to be all sexy but just coming off as embarrassing in the end.

8 "If the light is off, then it isn't on" - So Yesterday (Hilary Duff)

This has got to be one of the most basic and uninspired paradoxes I've ever heard. But hey, it does give most of us a pretty good laugh, so that's a plus. I hope Hilary Duff has taken lessons to improve her songwriting. Considering this is about a decade old, she might feel embarrassed by this track now.

Isn't this a parody of "with the lights out, it's less dangerous"?

She and 2 Chainz should collaborate and make the best-written song of all time.

9 "No ONE can ever take them down; the power lies on their SIY-E-IY-E-IY-E-IY-E-IY-E-YIDDDE!" - Power Rangers Theme Song (Super Sentai)
10 "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains" - Shakira, Whenever, Wherever

What? This gives me more reasons to dislike this artist. Also, it sounds like something from a really bad Irish folk song.

I love Shakira, her voice, and her music, but I hate these lyrics. God, the song is great too.

I... didn't expect this from Shakira.

The Contenders
11 "I'm never gonna dance again; my guilty feet have got no rhythm; though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool" - Careless Whisper (George Michael)
12 "My style is dope, phat in which today we're gonna bake a cake that looks rich!" - Cheap Cheap's Rap (Parappa The Rapper)
13 "Last night you were in my room, and now my bedsheets smell like you; every day discovering something brand new; I'm in love with the shape of you" - Shape Of You (Ed Sheeran)

Some of the cheesiest, most perverted lyrics from a usually decent artist.

That was molestation and perverted.

14 "He has no style, he has no grace; this clown has a FUNNY face!" - DK Rap (Nintendo)
15 "I’d jump in front of a train for ya" - Grenade (Bruno Mars)

I like this song. It is a highlight in Bruno's discography. But yeah, this lyric makes me chuckle. Bruno Mars is literally putting himself in a lose-lose situation.

That's not gonna save the girl. You're just both gonna end up killing yourselves...

I'm hoping women don't find suicidal remarks in their favor attractive.

16 "Me not working hard? Yea right! Picture that with a Kodak. And better yet, go to Times Square, take a picture of me with a Kodak." Give Me Everything (Pitbull)

Okay, some Pitbull songs can be enjoyable to an extent, but there's a limit to how cheesy one can get. And my God, Pitbull really pushes that limit here. I don't care about taking a picture with a Kodak! It's honestly irrelevant to the song you're rapping on anyway.

What's worse about this line is that Kodak was already outdated before this song was made. Get with the times, Pitbull!

17 "The square root of 69 is 8 something, right? Cause I've been tryna work it out." - What's My Name? (Rihanna)

Stop trying to pull math into dirty lyrics!
In terms of math itself, she is partially correct that the square root of 69 is 8 something. It's 8.30662382292... I looked that up, and the three dots mean there are more digits because it's an irrational number, as it isn't a perfect square.

I'm no math expert, but square rooting numbers isn't hard at all in later math years. And yes, I know the square root of 64 is 8, but what does this have to do with figuring out someone's name? That's what makes this line even more out of place, to be honest.

18 "As the music dies, something in your eyes calls to mind a silver screen, and all its sad goodbyes" - Careless Whisper (George Michael)
19 "And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, he might blow UP and kill this man" - Achy Breaky Heart (Billy Ray Cyrus)
20 "Noah's Ark should've had a cat like yoooouuuuu....." - The Cat's Meow (Juile Stevens)

Wow, they really name-dropped and referenced a Bible story in a Barbie movie... By the way, this song is from Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper if you're wondering which Barbie movie this is from.

21 "Girl, you know I want your love; your love was handmade for some BODY like me!" - Shape Of You (Ed Sheeran)

This is gross and cheesy at the same time.

22 "Ooh, look what you made me do, look what you made me do, look what you just made me do, look what you just made me" - Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor Swift)

I'm too sexy for my shirt
Too sexy for my shirt
Too sexy for my shirt.

23 "Do You Belieeeve in Life After Love?" - Believe (Cher)

Autotune was new before Kanye West and T-Pain made it more popular in the music industry. Shawty!

24 "And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while, cause girl, you're amazing, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE" - Just The Way You Are (Bruno Mars)

I like Bruno, but this lyric is still cheesy.

25 "R, B, Rebecca BLACK! So chillin' in the front side; in the back seat, I'm drah-vin, cruisin! FAST LANE, SWITCHING LANES, with a car at my side!" - Friday (Rebecca Black)
