Thought it would be funny to list what you consider the worst SINGLE line in a lyric. Just one. Mine would go to that self-decribed poet in the sky, Jim Morrison. "I woke up this morning and got myself a beer" you CANNOT write a line like that and still call yourself a poet, in my opinion! Much less take yourself nearly as seriously as he did… Reminds me of my favorite line from the movie “Almost Famous:” “Jim Morrison? He’s a drunken buffoon” ---

I’ll play devil’s advocate on your selection. Great poetry doesn’t need to be pretentious or artsy. Sometimes a concise narrative phrase can be extremely evocative and effective. Now the line(s) I hate would be the entire lyrics to “What if God Was One of Us.” "… just a slob like one of us" makes me wretch nearly everytime I hear it. ---

I knew people would…somehow he is mythic to peeps of that era. "… just a slob like one of us" makes me wretch nearly everytime I hear it. Great one! ---

Wasn’t that another Morrison song?!? I didn’t like the Doors that much back when they were a band (aside from Light My Fire which I saw on the Ed Sullivan show) but now when I hear their stuff on the radio - it’s great! Did you see the movie The Doors? In regards to the lyric you quoted, it’s not great taken out of context but in the song, Roadhouse Blues, it works very well, as do the other lyrics - don’t you think? ---

Toker, I think it works fine in that song, I just find that to be an abysmal song… I never quite got the whole pseudo-lounge, psuedo-blues, pseudo-rock mix they had going on… Another bad lyric, a little more current: "let’s get to the point, let’s roll another joint…" wow. genius, Mr. Petty. Genius. ---

Jim Morrison: Any lyrics he recorded while sitting on the toilet in the studio should probably be on the list. I need to think a little - nothing sticks out immediately. This is rock-n-roll. Finding truly bad lyrics is like looking for fly droppings in a field of cow pies. ![:D](http://www.ntrack.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ---

I never quite got the whole pseudo-lounge, psuedo-blues, pseudo-rock mix they had going on... Seriously, Roadhouse Blues was one of the most straight-forward blues/rock songs that they did?!?! Now "The End" - that's another story. Break On Through to the Other Side!!! Clark - you're not a child of the 60's so you're not gonna get it. ---
