Puritan Board Post-Graduate
Dennis, in line with your sage posting of stupid lyrics, I wanted to add this timeless Kenny Rogers lyric, just for its sheer boneheadedness... I wouldn't post the video that I found of it because in it, he's his "post-botched plastic surgery self," not the gracefully aging, rather handsome guy that he was before he went under the knife.
Anyway, the offending lyric is in "Through the Years" and if you recall, it goes like this:
"I can't remember when you weren't there, when I didn't care, for anyone but you..."
WHAT?! Takes me on a trip back through my logics course just to decipher the triple negative here... He can't remember when he didn't care for "anyone" ("everyone?") except the woman he's singing to... What if he said, "I can't remember when I cared for anyone but you?" That would be okay...
BTW, I am "shocked, shocked" (a la Claude Rains in "Casablanca," and the gambling at Rick's Cafe Americaine) that this timeless classic hasn't made this thread yet:

If it has, and if I've just overlooked it, mea culpa... Seems to me that "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen belongs on any/every list of annoying songs!
