I Need You - 3T

I've never heard of the band. I've never heard the song. I've never seen the video.

I will never hear it again or watch it again, either.

Here's what our good friend Amy had to say in submitting this hated pile of trash:
Oh man this one may go down as the best entry ever! This one covers all the bases. Bad, really bad, scary, hilarious and creepy. Please take a moment tell yourself " I may look like Uncle So and So, but at least I don't look like Uncle Michael Jackson." Yes oh yes its: THE NEXT GENERATION!!!

I can't even think of anything else suitably bad to say about it, so I'll just... leave this here for you.



I need you, girl
I couldn't live a day without you

Well I tried to write a special song
A love song just for you
To explain the way you make me feel inside
Though the meaning may be simple
And the words may not be new
I couldn't make it clearer if I tried

I need you
And I couldn't live a day without you
I need you
More than anyone could ever know
I need you
And I wanna build my world around you
I need you
I need you

Well I sang the words and realized
It'd all been said before
So I tried a different rhyme that meant the same
But it didn't have the feeling
And the first one said much more
So I guess I'll have to say it once again

I need you
And I couldn't live a day without you
I need you
More than anyone could ever know
(More than anyone could ever know)
I couldn't live a day without you, girl
I need you and I wanna build my world around you
Baby
(I need you)

(Oh I need you)
Baby
(Couldn't live a day without you)
(Ooh)
More than anyone could ever know
(More than anyone could ever know)
I couldn't live a day without you, girl
I need you and I wanna build my world around you
(Ooh)
(I need you)

I need you
(I need you)
And I couldn't live a day without you
(I want you)
(Couldn't live a day without you)
I need you
(yeah, yeah)
More than anyone could ever know
(I say it ever and ever)
I need you
(I need you)

And I wanna build my world around you
(I want you)

(Couldn't live a day without you)
I need you
(yeah, yeah)
I need you

Well I tried to write a special song
A love song just for you
I need you

A Little Respect - Erasure

From our good friend Mac's mother:
OK, so this submission is so bad I am not taking responsibility. Mac seems to love this song and sings it in a really bad falsetto. He begged to enter it into the running for Bad Song Friday. Feel sorry for my son, he is clearly in need of help. The group is called Erasure. Please take note of the clever acting out of the lyrics.

signed,
Mac's mother

This song is going to be stuck in my head for several days. Thanks Mac, and Mac's mom! However, I must confess to listening to this song, and several other Erasure tunes, fairly obsessively in my late teens.



A little respect

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why youre making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace in our hearts
Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know youre making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
