We all know many groovy tunes with cringe-worthy lyrics. Let's recall the best of the best of the best: Knee-slappingly bad lyrics in legendary works of musical art.
Tulley has pointed out to me that the first song, hell the first 60 seconds even, of Rumours, the best selling album of the best decade of music, contains the following:
"I know I got nothin' on you. I know there's nothin to do. When times go bad, I can't get enough... won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff? Do it! Bam-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam, doot-doodly doo"
Ah, cocaine, you're a hell of a drug

Pour Some Sugar on Me was ranked #2 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 80's" in 2006. Hysteria went 12x platinum in the U.S. and sold 20 million albums worldwide.
... You got the peaches, I got the cream Sweet to taste, saccharine 'Cos I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet From my head, my head, to my feet
Do you take sugar? one lump or two?
Take a bottle, shake it up Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me ...

"I Wanna Sex You Up" was the number-one best selling single in the UK in 1991. It has topped the charts in multiple countries and sold millions of copies. It's also one of the shittiest songs, despite stealing an awesome Brothers Johnson hook. I almost didn't throw it on here but man, for some reason, the guys couldn't come up with enough reasons to sex me up, because one of the lyrics is:
"Please be my wife, sugar, because all I want to do is: I wanna Sex You Up."

Do you mean "good songs" as in top chart songs or just songs we like? Did you know that Katy Perry is tied with Michael Jackson for the most number 1 songs from a single album?

Did you know that Katy Perry dropped a 6th single off that album ("the one that got away") that charted 3rd? She almost took the record.
