While intelligent meaningful lyrics don't normally increase my interest in a record, bad annoying lyrics can screw everything instantly, no matter how much I may be into the melody and the vocals. This is what happened to some popular songs I still can't believe were big hits. Take for example Funkytown by Lipps Inc. or Don't You Want Me by Human League. Well done musically but a stupid annoying anticlimactic refrain ruins it all. And I still can't get over the cheesiness of ballads like My Heart Will Go On. "Love was when I loved you..." Come on now!
Hey that’s me! Thanks for having me on dude
Regurgitating baby gibblets!! grrr
Hahaha

Agreed! My death metal friend laughed as I read this to him
