Doesn't matter whether they fit the song well, bad lyrics is bad lyrics. It flopped for a reason. Fwiw I don't hate "Vowels" and the instrumentaation is nice but the lyrics are still bad. And cmon, the whole premise of the song is about only using vowels, you can't it too seriously. I will admit there are a few awkward lines in it, but I think the theme of the song is quite creative and I love the chorus. So "Bad Girlfriend"'s about a douche bragging about his girlfriend being a "dick magnet", "Something in Your Mouth"'s about oral sex, and "Porn Star Dancing" I don't even have to explain. Justify these. : p

51. Vowels - Capital CitiesLyrics lyrics blah blah blah. WTF are you supposed to sing about in a song called "Vowels"? You know, sing about something else? : p

And just when I thought this artist wouldn't be more mediocre than in one of their hit singles, they came close with this.
ETA: Clarification, this is referring to the song below.

''The Bad Touch'' by the Bloodhound Gang is still a standard track at almost every German pop radio station. Everyone knows the lyrics but nobody cares. People just enjoy the music.

This is just a fun light hearted song that's not trying to say a statement -- many other dance songs have silly, meaningless lyrics too. It's like criticizing Turn Down for What's lyrics. Meanwhile the cock rock songs you mentioned, while maybe not meant to be taken super seriously, are clearly about something and are a more of a focal point of the song then Vowels' lyrics.

Also bleh, this is the definition of a band alt is giving a free pass to. This better have AMAZING callout since it's boring and uninteresting, the fourth(!) single from this era, and sales are awful.
Edit: Whelp speaking of uninteresting, I'm surprised this turd is out so early. Not the worst song of 2017, but probably the lamest.

49. Whole Wide World - Cage the Elephant This song purely exists to take up space in the Alt top 10. Don't hate it, but I certainly can't love it either.

A concert for a specific band isn't representative of the general population's music taste -- just because women are singing along to say...Crazy Bitch at a Buckcherry concert, doesn't mean most women are necessarily going to be singing along if it comes on the radio.

Meanwhile, I can think of another song that can compete for worst lyrics. (starts playing the banjo and the mando with some hi hats thrown into the mix)

A lot of people must really hate the band at my #80 slot, for this boring crap to show up before that?

Aaaand speaking of boring and inoffensive, there's this. My dad likes this song and plays it periodically -- while some songs have been ruined for me by my dad overplaying them (Moaning Lisa Smile got really old really quick hearing it multiple roles a day), this one actually grew on me a bit as the lyrics are actually very descriptive and well written. Not a great song as it's a bit sleepy and monotone, but I do at least appreciate it.

I'm 99% sure this is going to be #1 overall (and it easily would've been my #1 had I submitted a list). Also Mad Love did NOT deserve to beat White Flag, Still Breathing, and others -- its actually kind of grown on me, even if the chorus is a bit awkward.

Not most. Not respectable woman, but have you ever been in a car with strippers? Of course not, I have, and believe me they know the songs word for word. The nasty rap crap too. It does pump up your adrenaline if you love this type of hard Rock tho. Anyway we are talking about lyrics and how they fit the songs, and Cockrock bands achieved that.

Meh, the drop is cool, but the rest of the song is practically smooth jazz. Yuck.

I ranked the original "Down". The version of "Down" with the rap verse probably would have been in my top 20.
I probably should have ranked "Good Morning" around the same as "Welcome", too.

44. Good Morning - Grouplove This song wasn't bad at all. better than "Welcome To My Life", but the band failed to really impress me this era.
