Lyrics That Make Me Laugh

Lately I've been noticing the comedy of pop lyrics more for some reason. Whether it's just nonsense put together to rhyme or a pathetic attempt at depth or something poetic, these lyrics are laughable when you really think about what people are running around listening to or even singing along to without thinking about it.

One of my current favorites to laugh at is Jesse McCartney's Body Language where he says...
Parlez vous francais?
Konichiwa
Come and move in my way
Hey, little chica from Guadeloupe
That thing you got behind you is amazing

That is...
Do you speak French?
Hello (in Japanese)
Come over here
Hey small foreign girl from a Creole-speaking nation
Nice butt

The best part is, this is the chorus so you can laugh multiple times throughout the song AND the rest of the lyrics aren't much better so the comedy continues!
