Also also: I’m not particularly fond of “Don’t Stop Believin’”. But I love this cover. I really like her voice on the bits the male voices tend to struggle with - she’s got full control and knows how to make it sound lovely.

I Wonder why Paul Simon does not get featured on this list?
On could argue:
But then, that’s probably too much credit for lines like:

- “I smell like I sound, I’m lost and I’m found” - Duran Duran “Hungry Like the Wolf”
- “Slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball” -Oasis, Champagne Supernova
- “I love your titties ’cause they prove I can focus on two things at once.” Kanye West — All Mine
- “Only time will tell if we stand the test of time” from Why Can’t This Be Love by Van Halen

It’s a really stupid lyric, but I’d rather if Kanye didn’t win anything.
Maybe some one can take his award and then not let him finish talking

A pair of winners! This first from all-around horrible human Kanye “ye” West, the second from the songwriting quartet Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, Sammy “van” Hagar, and Alex Van Halen.
The competition was stiff, and in the wise words of Cheap Trick:
Stiff competition
If I go up-you take me higher
Stiff competition
And when I’m down, you take me higher
There’s stiff competition all over the world
I screw you, you screw me, they screw us.

so I missed the game but I have two that irk me so!
they both happen to be the first lines to their respective songs
first off: I like Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynot a lot, and Jailbreak is a great song, but “Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town” is fucking idiotic. yeah, Phil, somewhere in the vicinity of the jail!
secondly: Nice and Smooth were about fun and partying instead of battling, gangster, reality or anything serious. and they were great at it. so, I don’t expect nor even want anything intellectual. but “Dizzy Gillespie plays a sax”? as the opening lyric, of all things? not only is it wrong, but his horn – a trumpet – was famous in it’s own right for being bent oddly. fucking idiot.
good song though.

Yeah, that’s facepalm material right there. Dizzy Gillespie was all kinds of famous for that trumpet. And his legendary cheeks while playing it. Even Kermit had to admit he couldn’t do that.

They’re my wife’s favourite band and she still makes fun of that line.
