You've really lost it mate. Hard times I guess.

Get rid of Love as a word and anger as a message-solved your problem, there's now no lyrics to slate.
 
eyes, lips, hair, pick up trucks, trailers, road, and the two most over used string of words "you make me feel brand new" and "I've never felt like this before".....oh, and "pina colada" and "margarita"....gibs
 
Oh man, how can you forget

"baby"

This has to be the first on the list of banned lyrics!

bash bash bash bash.. ah - now I feel better.

How about a list of words that are difficult to get into a song *without* making you laugh? Nipple. Aardvark. Piffling. Bumcrack.
 
I would be happy if people just quite using the terms "happy camper" and "been there done that," granted you dont find them in songs too often.
 
I dont want to hear anyone spelling words in songs anymore. Last time I saw you I was doing F I N E fine, if you cant make the lyric fit, rewrite them. Mickey Mantle asked
Paul Simon if he was Pauls hero how come he
used Joe DiMaggio in the song and Paul replied, sylables.
 
Here are my award winning lyrics for year2000:

Yeah baby yeah baby, you like it hey yeah. Kiss baby, smooth , year 2000 party hey baby yeah. I'll be your daddy tonight little lollipop yeah ha.........

I am sure if someone puts a good rave beat to this we can strike gold with this on MTV.
 
Lets not forget rap.

Nigga/ trigger
Glock/ cock
Ho/ dough
AK/ pay
Dick/ lick/ chick/ sick/ trick
drug/ slug
rhyme/ crime
hood/ wood
jackin'/ packin'
booty/ duty
 
I'd like to see if somone can fit diarrhea into a song. Like, "I'd go to see ya' but I got diarrhea."
davem
 
My favorite arrangement of words goes like this - "YOU, YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE". I could listen to that all day, every day...
 
This is GREAT. I just copied all this down and I have a song!!
 
lyrical jambalaya

In my heart and soul
The dark rains tears
cryin
Slim Shady's mamma
Dr. Drees (sp?) daddy
Took a knife downtown
With the sexy boys and girls
Cryin
Slim Shady's grandma
And Dr.. Dree's Grandpa
With the brothers and sisters
And the lollipop misters
cryin

(Did I miss anything?)
 
Hey Slack,

If we banned all those words, I wouldn't have any songs left to record.

(Hmmm what does that tell me about my stuff?)

It's not going to sell in Montana, I guess.

As for using other people's names in songs, I gotta disagree. You can create an instant mood by doing it.

Tom Petty (not a huge fave, but he comes to mind right now) made a reference to Del Shannon on the car radio in one of his songs, and it just created this scene in one line of the song.

Let's rock
You rock me
Rock my world
