Top 5 Worst Avril Lavigine Lyrics:
By: Brian Cotnoir
I remember when I first saw Avril Lavigne on TV back when I was
in middle school. She was this cute, but
fun looking Punk-Pop Princess, who wrote and sang her own songs. She was the exact opposite of other female
popstars of the time like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera...then two
albums later she completely contradicted everything she claimed on her first
album, and became everything she implied she would never become; a pop music
diva sellout. It’s so weird how the songs she wrote and recorded when she was
17 are so much deeper and better than the songs she writes as an adult...maybe
marrying Chad Kroeger just sucked out all her remaining talent(?). Well today I am here to countdown the worst
lyrics Avril Lavigine has written to date.
5.) Anything but Ordinary
This song is called “Anything But Ordinary”, but these lyrics
are pretty ordinary (ordinarily bad to be more specific). Just the opening line alone:
“Sometimes I get so weird/I even
freak myself out/I laugh myself to sleep it’s my lullaby”
Those lines sound like something a
moody teenager would post on their MySpace Page back in the early 2000’s. That’s just awful
4.) Happy Ending
From one brooding emo girl song to another one. This songs title may sound like a dirty
massage parlor story, but actually it sounds more like a bad poem you’d find in
an angsty 12-year-old girls diary. The
worst lyrical offender in “Happy Ending”
is:
“This is the hardest story that I’ve ever told/No Hope or love
or glory/Happy Ending’s gone forevermore”
Wow, she sounds like she’s really trying to force an Edgar Allen
Poe reference there. One thing’s for
certain, when this song finally comes to an end, it’s a happy ending for all
who are forced to listen to it.
3.) Hello Kitty
Of course Avril Lavigine would have a song about “Hello Kitty”;
I mean it’s approximately 1/3 of the merchandise sold at the Hot Topic where
she buys all her clothes, but man oh man is this this a bad song. Just take a look at these lyrics:
“Come come Kitty Kitty/you’re so pretty pretty/Don’t go Kitty
Kitty/play with me”
This is God Awful case of Cultural Misappropriation. It has
next to nothing to do with the Hello Kitty brand. It sounds more like a song a cat owner makes
up and says to their cat when they want their cut to stop being a jerk and come
sit with them. These song lyrics are so
moronic and cheesy that it makes “Smelly Cat” from “Friends” sound like freaking Mozart!
I'd rather hear "Goodbye, Avril!"
2.) Girlfriend
Okay, seriously how the hell did Avril Lavigne go from writing a
well thought out song like “Complicated”
when she was 17 and then revert back to this preteen garbage. I refuse to believe that any self-respecting
adult could write anything this bad.
This song (once again) sounds like it was written by a 12-year-old.
“Hey, hey, you, you I don’t like your girlfriend/no way, no way,
I think you need a new one/hey, hey, you, you I could be your girlfriend/Hey,
hey, you, you, I know that you like me/no way, no way, no, no it’s not a
secret/hey, hey, you, you I want to be your girlfriend”
Okay Avril, I level with you: No...I do not want you to be my
girlfriend. I’d rather you just shut the
f*ck up! For someone who claimed they
weren’t Preppy on their debut album and the importance of being honest and true
to yourself you’ve certain come a long way to contradict every single thing
your first album stood for.
1.) Sk8er Boi
I’m so glad people don’t type like they used to on AIM anymore. Hey remember back when Avril first came onto
the scene and she presented herself as a Skate Punk Rocker? Well if it wasn’t
obvious to you then maybe her song “Sk8er
Boi” could make it more obvious for you.
It’s the story of a Skater Boy who once dated a Preppy girl and how her
friends didn’t approve of him, and so she broke up with him, and now Avril’s
with said Skater Boy and the two of them are happy. Okay, but seriously this:
“He was a skater boy/she said see you later boy/she had a pretty
face/but her head was up in space/she needed to come back down to earth”???
What the hell Avril? That
is one of the worst rhyming clusters I’ve ever heard in a song. This song is bad, which is to be expected of
Ms. Lavgine, and it’s kind of sad. She
started out as a strong, independent, pop rock icon, but quickly switched over
to the generic soulless, pop princess music genre. For Shame on you Avril Lavigine, for shame!
