What are some of the laziest song lyrics that you can think of?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47069points) September 3rd, 2022

For me it’s Wham’s mindless “Wake Me Up Before You Gogo.”

Wake me up before you gogo
Don’t leave me hanging on like a yoyo.

Wake me up before you gogo
Cuz I’m not planning on going solo.

Dr. Suess hour anyone? And the dude’s always in bed, waiting for someone to wake him up to go dancing! Doesn’t he have a job?

Aw shucks – I really like that song!

How about “My SHARONNA?

If you think that is lazy, you clearly do not know the classic German song “1,2, Polizei”.

Modern Love by David Bowie

I know when to go out
Know when to stay in
Get things done

I catch a paper boy
But things don’t really change
I’m standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
There’s no sign of life
It’s just the power to charm
I’m lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for

walks beside me
(Modern love) walks on by
(Modern love) gets me to the church on time
(Church on time) terrifies me
(Church on time) makes me party
(Church on time) puts my trust in God and man
(God and man) no confession
(God and man) no religion
(God and man) don’t believe in modern love

Try the lyrics to “the little blue man” The woman who had the hit (Betty Johnson) was so perfect a double for Nancy Reagan, it’ll creep you out.

Last night I heard my mama singing a song
Ooh we, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Woke up this morning and my mama was gone
Ooh wee, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp

(Middle of the Road 1971)

@flutherother That song was out the summer I traveled around the UK and Europe. In each country we came to, the sang seemed to have just hit peak and we heard it everywhere. Could not stand it!

[Verse 1]
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
‘Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Verse 2]
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Fast away the old year passes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

there’s a lot of la la las

Hey Jude.
If any other group did that song they’d be ridiculed.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Same with “Pink” by Aerosmith @LuckyGuy.

Come Softly to Me- The Fleetwoods.

Why should she do all the coming? Why should she go to even more effort to do it softly?
What’s Teenager the Hutt’s problem- he doesn’t want his GF to wake him up?!

Couldn’t he do at least half of the coming and meet her in the middle? ;)

@Dutchess_III He’s George Michael! He’s too cool to have a job other than going to clubs.

rebbel's avatar

He’s also dead.

janbb's avatar

@rebbel Poor thing. Maybe no one woke him up before they went went?

Nomore_Tantrums's avatar

I’ll have to go with the poster who mentioned Hey Jude. Certainly not John’s best. Never cared for that one at all.

Zaku's avatar

@rebbel That’s no ‘scuse! This is ‘Merica! Tell that deadbeat to git outta bed and git a job!

Zaku's avatar

I wouldn’t think to pick on Bowie or The Beatles for laziEST lyrics, but if I were to pick on a Beatle, how about George Harrison’s “Got My Mind Set On You”?

Well, maybe just one of the most repetitive lyrics by a Beatle.

I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

. . . unknown number of repetitions with a few more words, then . . .

It’s gonna take time. . . (yuuup)
A whole lot of precious time. . . (yeah, he can say that again . . . and he will)
It’s gonna take patience and time, ummm . . . (yeah, he’s really not kidding)
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it
To do it right

Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
Set on you
I got my mind set on you
Set on you…

@Zaku Maybe you have to think of it as a mantra?

Dutchess_III's avatar

Yeah. They went through a Zen period @janbb.

Man, I’m gonna get roasted.
But I love Hey, Jude.

^^ I like it too.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I always heard it was written for John Lennon’s son, Julian.

Smashley's avatar

Laziest? How can we judge that? A hook, which a lot of people are mocking, is supposed to be brief and catchy. How can you ridicule a sparse lyric, if they have stayed popular? Isn’t popularilty its own kind of genius? Hey Mickey, you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind.

Dutchess_III's avatar

We can judge that because we can @Smashley.
