Weezer's El Scorcho is a fun, catchy pop tune but the lyrics are pretty clunky:
I went to the Green Day concert.
You said you never heard of them (How cool is that?)
so I went in to your room, and read your dia-ree-hee...
The Five Man Electrical Band's song Signs is just about a perfect song: It's catchy and the upbeat tone matches its earnest message well. It's also structured quite neatly in its rhyming and phrasing. Because of this, the one line that fails to rhyme and fit the phrasing sticks out like a sore thumb:
And the sign said anybody caught trespassing would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the house, Hey! what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, man you're some kinda sinner
You just know they agonized over a way use "sin" instead of "sinner" but couldn't quite get it. I shake my head every time I hear it.
