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?
Submitted by: Val R.
| "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.

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:

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.

How to Pronounce a Band Name:
"Em-Cee-Hammer
The capitalized 'C' should give it away. Yet I have heard some people say it as "Mick-hammer" (as if it were written "McHammer", like he's Irish or something).
Submitted by: Alex
Song Lyrics That Mention Other Songs:
"Addams Groove"
The Song Lyrics: Addams, too legit (x2)
Who's too legit? The Addams Family. Song They Mention: He makes reference to his preceding single, "Too Legit To Quit" (albeit half the title).

Song Lawsuits:
"U Can't Touch This"
Hammer was sued for not crediting Rick James for using "Superfreak" to make this song.
Submitted by: Martha Hankins
What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Hammerman"
Remember that cartoon that aired for a single season that starred M.C. Hammer as a superhero with magical shoes? Good! I don't either. It was, actually, a cartoon "acid trip" that never should have made it past the brainstorming sessions however it did air from 1991-1992. Sorry, Hammer!

"Being Broke"
In the mid-90's, MC Hammer wound-up being broke. Now he's on many commercials that lampoon his hard times.
