Recently in a viral thread, redditor u/analogcpu asked, "What is the dumbest lyric of all time?" and music lovers came together to share (and hilariously react) to some truly questionable verses!
So, with that in mind, here are some of the most ridiculous song lyrics shared, as well as Redditors' funniest reactions to learning about them/remembering them:
1. "Drowning" by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie ft. Kodak Black
"I have listened to that song, like, a hundred times. I thought it was 'I’m that shit. I’m foreign. I don’t know how to party.' I’m literally shook. I did not know that’s what he was saying."

2. "It's Everyday Bro" by Jake Paul ft. Team 10
"I've heard Jake Paul try to defend this by saying that there is a real city called 'England' (I believe it's in the US? Maybe?), but that clearly isn't what you meant, Jake. The lyric is about Nick Crompton, and he's from the UK — where England is not a fucking city."

12. "Smooth Operator" by Sade
"Chicago has a shoreline on a massive lake, but it's nowhere near the coast. It makes me wonder if Sade (who is not from the US) saw a picture of Chicago's beaches, thought it was on the east coast, and wrote the lyric under the wrong impression."
