Story about this misheard lyric by: turkoizdog We were singing this song in Lit class; and one guy said, 'Stop! Pajama time!' We all stared at him and he was like 'What?'

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Can't Touch This"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Can't touch this
Can't touch this Can't touch this Why They're Repetitive: Yes, we know we can't touch it! What more do you want from me. What don't you want me to touch. I didn't touch 'this' in the first place so get off my back. How many times do you have to repeat it?

| "U Can't Touch This"

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Have You Seen Her?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Searchin' 'round the world, what more can I say?
The girl is hard to see, like an unseen DJ. Why They're Nonsensical: This is, in my opinion, one of the stupidest sounding lyrics ever included in a pop song. Granted, MC Hammer is hardly known for prolific song lyrics, but this particular song is supposed to come across as 'serious' -- but that 'unseen dj' lyric sounds ridiculous.

Dated Song Lyrics:
"Have You Seen Her"
The Dated Lyrics: I'm a keep looking
in the movies in my car on my stereo On A Different World and The Cosby Show Why They're Dated: Considering that A Different World and The Cosby Show exist only in reruns it's safe to say that this is the biggest reason why these lyrics are dated.
