Good Song: Do They Know It’s Christmas? by Band-Aid
Bad Lyrics: A good song that also did some good, with maybe not so good lyrics.
It’s Christmas time
There’s no need to be afraid
There is if Grandma’s had too much eggnog.
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
Forsooth, banish yon shade from mine presence!
But when you’re having fun
There’s a world outside your window
And it’s a world of dread and fear
I guess I never thought of my front yard that way.
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Guys, you’re bringing the room down juuuust a bit.
Well tonight, thank God it’s them instead of you
I don’t know if “having someone else be the starving child” is something you should thank God for. It seems, at best, against the spirit of Christmas.

About me
Music is the joy of joys, but sometimes, words can get in the way. Be it a weak metaphor, a forced rhyme, or just pure nonsense - lyrics can go wrong a hundred ways. It won't stop us from loving a song, but it might give us pause to say, "Wait... what?""And, as I say, 70% is how you look, 20% is how you sound, only 10% is what you say." -Eddie Izzard
