The 20 Worst Rhymes In Pop Music History

[Kristijntje]

When Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder managed to rhyme “public” and “subject” in “Tears of a Clown,” it was sheer genius. Getting that perfect coupling of words and phrases is what makes for a brilliant song. Then there are musicians who just write down words because they rhyme, or because they think they rhyme, and hope that we won’t notice that the lyrics don't make any sense.

20. Ashley Simpson, "

La La"
“You make me wanna la la,
In the kitchen on the floor,
I'll be a french maid,
Where I'll meet you at the door.”

14. Steve Miller Band, "The Last Wombat in Mecca"
“There are few things I won't find,
Some are better left alone,
Like that bulldog in the bathroom,
Like that wombat on the phone.”

This is the same guy who calls himself the midnight toker? Really? We're shocked.

Now I know where wombat poo poo came from

I'm what they play in the clubo.”

18. Styx, "Mr. Roboto"
“Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.”

The motherlode of the inane rhyme. Styx -- what a couple of...er…what rhymes with Styx?

And they left out the best (worst) part of the song (near the end).

"Domo arigato
Mr. Roboto
Thank you very much-o
Mr Roboto."

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Now I know why I hate Rod Stewart so much:

I fell in love with a slit eyed lady,
By the light of an eastern moon,
