I was listening to the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame SiriusXM channel the other day, and a Bon Jovi song came on.
I immediately turned the channel.
Bon Jovi's lyrics are terrible.
It's like the dude picked a bunch of cliches and patched them together. It's just bad writing.
Take, for example, the lyrics of one of the band's biggest hits, "You Give Love a Bad Name."
Here is a list of tired cliches from that song:
- shot through the heart
- you're to blame
- you give [insert noun here] a bad name
- put me through hell
- loaded gun
- nowhere to run
- damage is done
- play my part
- play my game
- blood red
- school boy's dream
I could go on and on, but I'd rather not analyze more bad lyrics.
Listeners should demand better songwriting.
