To clarify: I absolutely love 'Don't Worry Baby' . Lyrically the first verse
and the chorus are gold, but the second and third verses are the godawful
part to me. I loved this song for years until I bothered to pay attention to
the lyrics, and now it sticks out to me when I hear this otherwise perfect
pop song. I just wish he would have avoided the car/racing business. That
said, it still falls into my 'prior to the 80's lyrical forgiveness'
category.
I'm totally OK with made up lyrics (De Do Do Do De Da Da Da, Be Bop A Lu-La,
etc.), the unusual (almost anything by Ween), and simple is OK if it's done
well and on purpose. I'm just tired of simple and lazy. Or, conversely,
supposedly intelligent but silly and pretentious.
As David St. Hubbins once said, 'It's such a fine line between stupid and
clever'.
