The 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 20
Heh, most of the reader’s suggestions beat what Spinner has listed.
ETA:
Had anyone other than the eleven McPhans actually listened to this song, I am sure it would have made the list.
“Open Toes”
I been needin’ a girls night out
I got nothin’ but hand-me-down’s
I need a quick fix
To make these clothes hotter
No matter what it is
A girls gotta
The pedicure
White tip french
(french)
Legs don’t make no sense
(sense)
Not rich
But I bought a diamond anklet
Keep it on
It goes with my outfit
Hey
Hey let’s go
If they’re not too high
Too low
I’ll take them home
In purple, red, or gold
Cuz I know them boys
They like
Those open toes
Jeans all black
Hair slicked back
Baseball cap
Still cute in my open toes
Mini skirt
Feet don’t hurt
Just a flirt
Too cute in my open toes
Work or play
Night or day
Do my thing
Too cute in my open toes
Never too many open toes
A girl needs plenty open toes
I’m lovin’ these sling-back shoes
I like the way they stay loose
I could wear them all day
And listen to the click-clack
Shoes like this make me hate flats
Swipe that card I’m good
Another pair in leather and wood
I’m a sucker for a name brand
Skip the rack
And stick to the game plan
Hey let’s go
If they’re not too high
Too low
I’ll take them home
(I’ll take them home)
In purple, red, or gold
Cuz I know them boys
They like those open toes
Those open toes
Jeans all black
Hair slicked back
Baseball cap
Still cute in my open toes
Mini skirt
Feet don’t hurt
Just a flirt
Too cute in my open toes
Work or play
Night or day
Do my thing
Too cute in my open toes
Never too many open toes
A girl needs plenty open toes
I’m feelin’ down
That’s when I go out
And shop till I drop
Everywhere that I want
Cuz nothing feels better
Than spending my treasure
On me
Finally
I’m where I’m supposed to be
Jeans all black
Hair slicked back
Baseball cap
Still cute in my open toes
Mini skirt
Feet don’t hurt
Just a flirt
Too cute in my open toes
Work or play
Night or day
Do my thing
Too cute in my open toes
Never too many open toes
A girl needs plenty open toes
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
Only got one life
Feelin’ good tonight
And this girls not stayin’ home
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
Only got one life
Feelin’ good tonight
And this girls not stayin’ home
(Danger)
Jeans all black
Hair slicked back
Baseball cap
Still cute in my open toes
Mini skirt
Feet don’t hurt
Just a flirt
Too cute in my open toes
Work or play
Night or day
Do my thing
Too cute in my open toes
Never too many open toes
A girl needs plenty open toes
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
(Let’s go)
Only got one life
Feelin’ good tonight
And this girls not stayin’ home
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
Put em on
Put em on
Let’s go
Only got one life
Feelin’ good tonight
And this girls not stayin’ home

Music news, this time country:
The Taylor Swift Playbook is making the rounds.
Ms. Swift, 19, who has sold more than seven million records in the last four years, has proved to be seismic in Nashville. And thanks to the pop crossover success of Ms. Swift and Carrie Underwood, 26, who has sold 10 million albums, notions of where a country star might fit in are being rewritten almost daily.
and:
Hearing Ms. Swift and Ms. Underwood on pop radio stations means that for a new generation of listener, country is no longer taboo. “Eighteen- to 29-year-olds, you used to ask them what they listen to, and they’d say ‘All kinds of music except country,’” Mr. Frank said. “Now that’s changed. If we nail it right as a community, we’ve got an audience that we’ll take with us for the next 20 years.”

Constantine Maroulis: I ‘Opened the Door’ for Future Idol Rockers
American Idol alum Constantine Maroulis has been making his mark on Broadway since appearing on the hit FOX show’s fourth season in 2005. He was recently nominated for a Tony for his role in the rock musical Rock of Ages and the actor-musician credits the reality competition for the chance it gave him.
“I was blessed – I was a finalist,” he says. “I probably wouldn’t be in this chair if I wouldn¹t have gone on the audition that day.”
But, he says, there is something he’d do differently if he were able to appear on Idol again. “They had a hard time getting the support from artists and publishers to clear a lot of the material, so there were a lot of songs I wanted to do that I couldn’t do,” he says. “Stuff from U2, Aerosmith, anything Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi. That was the stuff I was really good at. If I could have done the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ kind of thing week after week, it would have been interesting to see how it would have worked out.”
Still, Maroulis thinks his appearance helped pave the way for future rockers that appeared on the show. “I definitely opened the door for people after me, like Chris Daughtry and David Cook and all those guys,” he says. “[Season 8 runner-up] Adam [Lambert]‘s a good kid, I wish him all the best.” …

And movie news:
Walt Disney Studios may have landed a distribution deal with the newly reconstituted DreamWorks Studios earlier this year after much drama, but Steven Spielberg‘s first directing project since then will be with Fox.
Hollywood’s most famous filmmaker will start production early next year on a remake of the 1950 movie “Harvey,” which starred Jimmy Stewart and was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play about an eccentric man who is friends with an invisible 6-foot rabbit.

Why? I mean, WHY????????
I never could stand Constantine.
Ok, I never listened to Open Toes, or at least never listened to it’s lyrics, this is a joke, eh? It’s one of Boulder’s clever parodies. I mean, come on, seriously?

Well, I’ll be damned, I listened to the first stanza, I had no stomach for more. No wonder the CD’s sales were sluggish.
OK, I believe you. Won’t be clicking that link ever again.
