Dumbest lyrics from the 80's

I was just sitting here thinking of some of the big hits when I was in high school. I really can't believe we sang along with these songs and kept a straight face. Here is an example:

Here I am... rock you like a hurricane
This, of course, was in the pre-Katrina days when hurricanes were seen as passionate lovers and not destroyers of life and property.

So, what are some of the dumbest lyrics that you rocked out to?

How about backstreet boys...

"Am I original? Yeah
Am I the only one? Yeah
Am I sexual? Yeah
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now"

Haha, it makes me laugh now. The lyrics are quite lame.

To get the full effect, you have to imagine it in a robot-type voice

If you're blue and you don't know
where to go to why don't you go
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day
coat pants with stripes and cutaway
coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)

I remember the video of that one on MTV, Kristen.

But it really makes me remember "Young Frankenstein"

Rock On - Michael Damian

Hey kids rock and roll,
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey kids boogey too, did ya

Hey shout, summertime blues,
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey kids rock and roll, rock on

And where do we go from here?
Which is the way that's clear

Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean
James Dean, rock on

And the winner is... my wife.

You're just saying that because she's your wife

What about that Hansen Song?

Doo whop, whop, do-whop
Do-do-do do whop whop do-whop
oh yaaa

But this wasn't 80's, just REALLY BAD

What is happening here?
Something is going on
That's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the light
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight

Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

The room is hot . . . that's good
some of my friends came
By from the neighborhood
People were starting
To climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everbody
Is having a ball

Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Everybody starts to lose control
When the music is right
If you see somebody hanging around
Don't ge upright
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go round and round
and turn upside down
Come on, let's get down

Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back
Because it ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
Because when we like to ball it
We only want to get down

Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

What? You say what?
It's love now . . .
Just get started
Everybody clap your hands, come on
Everybody have sense . . .
