Funniest Song Lyrics:

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Cash"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I need some f--kin cash!
Why They're Repetitive: During this song, the second verse and chorus is recited three times, the first verse four times, and 'I need some f--kin cash!' is how it ends. It's totally pointless, but this song is funny as hell.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Fly"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: All around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you? Everywhere I go, people stop and they say. 25 years old my mother god rest her soul Why They're Nonsensical: Funny thing in the next verse Mark sings "we'll find out I'm told; my mother she told me so." But how can he find out from his mother if she's apparently dead? In addition, Mark was actually 29 when this song was recorded.
Submitted by: Celeste
| "Disasterpiece"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I never knew how good
I never knew how good it could be (later in the song) I always knew how good it could be Why They're Nonsensical: Did you or did you not know? They contradict themselves here. I love the song, but I don't get the point they're trying to get across here.

Insincere Song Lyrics:
"Streaker"
The Insincere Lyrics: Motherf--ker, I'm Mark, with a 'K' not a 'C'
Why They're Insincere: I find it funny, mainly because people have a lot of trouble spelling my name. I've never actually called them a motherf--ker before though...still, these lyrics never fail to amuse me...it also has nothing to do with streakers.

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Mean Machine"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Don't you dare mess with a mean machine.
It's thick and rich and coloured green. Why They're Misrhymed: Either Mark McGrath is just plain lazy in his rhyming or he's singing about a milkshake? I haven't quite figured out which senario it is?
