One of my pet peeves is dumb lyrics. The main culprits, in my opinion, are Black Eyed Peas ("My Humps", the repetitive blandness - and terrible spelling - of "I Gotta Feeling", and most of the oeuvre since Monkey Business, really), The Beatles (I can forgive the drug-fueled weird-word associations like "I Am The Walrus" and "Strawberry Fields Forever", and I'll forget that "Let It Be" and "Hey Jude" are nothing but na-na-na sing-alongs for most of their duration, but there is no going past "Love Me Do", "Scrambled Eggs", "It's Only Love", "Birthday", and their worst culprit, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", urgh) and The Police ("De Do Do Do, Da Da Da"), but Drake (90% of it) and Queen ("Radio Ga Ga") surely deserve nods as well.

I can't help but feel that our civilization is doomed, if this is the culture we're spreading from one generation to the next, while self-serving McDonald's are popping up everywhere to feed us.
