ABC - song lyrics that suck
May07 Filed in: Entertainment
Looking through Web Pen's blog, there is a lot of musical revelry. To join the rush, I am revisiting this post I did ages ago about ABC, a techno 80's pretty boy band. Whilst we can forgive them the winklepickers and big hair and the whole New Romantic deal, their song lyrics are unforgiveable. And no amount of passing time will change my opinion of that.
Spending more time putting on their make-up than tuning their instruments, ABC pranced around to catchy tunes en route to a couple of UK number ones. They had one clever team behind them. The smoke and mirrors of marketing built on their prefabricated looks and also turned their lack of song-writing ability into a plus. They became famous for crap lyrics! It doesn't take much to make it big in "sophisticated" Europe.
More sacrifices than an aztec priest
Standing here straining at that leash
All fall down
Cant complain, musnt grumble
Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble. Lyrics
