Ah, music! Like Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster at Hogwarts put it, it’s “a magic beyond all we do here.” Despite that romantic and idealized notion, not all songs are made equal. Far from it! And there’s one popular Twitter account that shows just how important context is when it comes to making song lyrics sound good, and how a lack of it can make the words sound incredibly weird.
The ‘Lyric Cards’ Twitter page collects lyrics from songs that sound completely made up. Surely, they can’t be real? We must have misheard them, right, dear Pandas? Alas! They’re very real and it makes you wonder what in the ever-loving frick the songwriters were thinking when they wrote them. How could anyone have thought that these sound good? Funny, oh definitely, yes. Good? No, just no. At least… without the right context.
You’ll find some of the worst lyric abominations below, presented for you on a silver platter to judge and poke fun at, all at your leisure, dear Readers. And, I’ll just put it out there: most of us could have written better lyrics. Don’t you think? Bored Panda also reached out to the founder of the project, so read on for what they told us about the inspiration behind it, how context is incredibly important, as well as what they plan to do in the future!
