"Are we dancer" voted silly song lyric

Beat Weird Al Yankovic by a whisker

17 December 2008 16:46 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

The Killers hit song "Human" has one of the worst song lyrics of all time. Well, that's according to users of Orange's music service.

Over half of music fans aren't convinced by the band's reworking of the Hunter. S. Thompson quote, "we’re raising a generation of dancers" into the lines "Are we human / Or are we dancer”.

With its "grammatical errors and confusing meaning" it's not got Orange customers' seal of approval.

Neither has, Des’ree's lyrics from "Life", voted the worst ever: "I don't want to see a ghost / It's the sight I fear the most / I'd rather have a piece of toast / Watch the evening news".

Razorlight also came under fire ("And I met a girl / She asked me my name / I told her what it was") as did Coldplay with "You cut me down a tree / And brought it back to me / And that's what made me see / Where I was going wrong".

  • And yet Nik Kershaw's The Riddle whose lyrics were a collection of self-confessed nonsense written in about 10 minutes in order to see how the tune sounded with vocals doesn't even get honourable mention...

    it's not me you see
    pieces of valentine
    with just a song of mine
    to keep from burning history
    seasons of gasoline and gold
    wise men fold
