Yeah, and the warbling Autotune just shoves that whole lyric over a cliff.

sounds more like cannibalism than rimming from that line.

Anything by Nickelback really (in addition to the terrible vocal delivery).

Rockstar was particularly awful though...

Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny 'cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

It's about on par with Gene Simmons lyrics for Kiss (and they're usually god awful lyrics)

and birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Coldplay, "Speed of Sound"

His song is not really consistent with facts.

I'm sure you could have found worse. I'd try, but then I'd have to have their songs in my head. Those lyrics don't seem particularly terrible to me (until I start hearing them in Chad Kroeger's voice). They are just kind of lazy and uninspired and short of good.

That lyric is from a long list of songs written in English by Swedes (usually in the Max Martin pop factory) where they make a number of odd, inexplicable phrases.

It's by Max Martin, who tried to explain the problem away saying he heard that teens say 'hit me' meaning call me on the cell phone.

However:

Oh baby baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
It's not the way I planned it

Show me how you want it to be...
and
I must confess: I still believe
THEN
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

do not really work as expressions of 'please call me back on the cell phone', IME.
Which apparently didn't stick, it's now officially called Baby One More Time.

I don't think one word is inexplicable.

I never heard it before this cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77kPi3VSsu4
as part of an anime, Utena
so I don't have the baggage of Britney or whatever
oddly this arrangement keeps quite a lot from the original

Paul McCartney vacillated between great and terrible lyrics, particularly post-Beatles.

Sometimes he could write such twee lyrics that make you want to cringe when you hear them:

We all know that people are the same whereever you go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone
We learn to live, when we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive, together alive

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh Lord why don't we?

it's a culture you're unfamilar with. "groceries" is the key to why it's funny (in tha 'hood). Some humor can't be explained I think.

Lyrics that just rub you the wrong way
