10cc - The Worst Band In The World Lyrics






It's one thing to know it but another to admit
We're the worst band in the world
But we don't give a....

If Garbo played guitar with Valentino on the drums
Then we'd be nothing more than a bunch of darma bums
So tune up, tune up

Well we've never done a days work in our life
And our records sell in zillions
It irrigates my heart with greed
To know that you adore me
Up yours, up mine
But up everybody's that takes time -
But we're working on it
Working on it (Ooh)

We never seen the van - leave it to the roadies -
Never met the roadies - leave them in the van
All because of circumstances way beyond control
We became the darlings of this thing called rock and roll, ooh

Here I am a record on a jukebox
A little piece of plastic with a hole, ooh
Play me
Buy me and you play me then my plastic turns to gold

Here we are together on your hi fi
A little piece of plastic with a hole, oh
Fade me, fade me, fade me, fade me.....

  1. B.... F....

    "It irrigates my heart with greed to know that you adore me."

  2. S.... ....

    The drummer used to play and sing in The Band. Was in the movie The Last Waltz.

  3. S.... ....

    Today is Dilla Day. Thanks 10 cc.

  4. D.... A....

    Love.10cc

  5. M.... M....

    Dharma bums led me here

  6. x.... ....

    Song volume is low, but not the commercials...hmmm

  7. C.... B....

    speedracer brought me here lmao

  8. a.... a....

    you're the best band in the world if j dilla sampled you

  9. R.... G....

    J-J-J-J-J Dilla
    S-S-S-Set the stage!
    Play me
    Play me
    Buy me
    Workinonit!

  10. W.... P....

    I always looked forward to their next release and I was never disappointed. Sheer brilliance.

  11. b.... ....

    👍For worst band in the world I actually like this 👍

  12. c.... A....

    Lol creme proves having a bigger nose can be sexy as hell

  13. B.... S....

    I've just realised they are the missing link between Beatles and Beach Boys.

    B.... S....

    Especially the Beach Boys.

  14. l.... ....

    Amazing :-)

  15. D.... C....

    It wasn't a good idea to put this out as a single, however Sheet Music was a great album and this group should be revered, a truly unique fantastic group.

    D.... C....

    David Cole underrated all around 👍

  16. M.... M....

    why do they all look like they didn't hit her, they did not, hi mark

  17. T.... S....

    I doubt anyone could name a more inventive pop single (no, not Bohemian Rhapsody, which is great, but possibly influenced by another 10cc song).

  18. O.... T....

    Favorite band from Manchester..These songs r just album tracks not there hits.

  19. T.... G....

    First time hearing this band, WOW I NEVER LOVED A SOUND SO FAST

  20. A.... D....

    I had their LP's! I wore them out.

  21. r.... s....

    Brilliant and innovative pop music that still sounds great 45 years later. Don’t think anyone will be saying the same about Songthief Sheeran.

  22. B.... D....

    Amazing band ahead of their time by aeons. Love this song. Humour, progressive tune, enjoyable and subversive

  23. F.... ....

    This LP version includes the censored line: Up yours, up mine, but up everybody's -- it takes time. Bravo TopPop!

    F.... ....

    Where was that censored? They played it on the radio here in the States.

  24. P.... H....

    Hello Here Mandy FLY ME Now THERE'S A Song ♥️

  25. B.... F....

    The worst band in the world? How could they produce the best song in the world?

  26. M.... A....

    What a bizarre band....

  27. w.... ....

    j dilla brought me here, great song

  28. O.... ....

    Love this

    O.... ....

    Here cause I had to type these lyrics in class XD

  29. c.... ....

    dilla got fucking lucky

  30. M.... s....

    Jdilla brought me here

  31. j.... a....

    That's not 10CC! Who said they were?

  32. D.... J....

    After listening to this, you would want to get a sampler and be Dilla for a moment

  33. J.... C....

    You know it irrigates my heart with greed to know that you adore me - quite a brilliant line. A send up of bands like the Bay City Rollers - who wear unable to tune their own guitars or so the legend goes. May be true maybe not - but its what I heard and the BCRs did record at Strawberry Studios at one time. Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction - if its true of course !

  34. K.... K....

    I love it!

  35. S.... O....

    From the first album i ever bought aged 12. Still superb!!

  36. v.... ....

    Lol giving the middle finger at 0:18...And he don't give a.......

  37. M.... D....

    Turn it up....Dilla's Donuts

  38. A.... *....

    J Dilla led me here

  39. E.... ....

    0:18 JDILLA

  40. e.... ....

    rip dilla

  41. K.... ....

    They were so talented and gorgeous. Lol is cute, oh!

  42. T.... T....

    how did they come up with this song? So funny and funky.

  43. J.... S....

    workinonit

  44. M.... S....

    Dire Straits..Prēcursor to MTV lyrically?

  45. T.... P....

    And yet they made millions.

  46. l.... ....

    I think 10cc are one of the best bands the world have ever seen. Very under rated

  47. X.... b....

    J Dilla brought me here

  48. Y.... ....

    Dilla worked this tune properly

  49. l.... ....

    True Dilla led me here. And I am forever grateful for being introduced to the greatness of 10CC!! Still my favorite 10cc song!!And can we talk about Mr Stewart and his lil knee shimmy at the end!!! Hilarious...amazing how geniuses can be so funny and brilliant at the same damn time!!

  50. L.... F....

    this song is fucking crazy.

  51. M.... F....

    Freddie Mercury's favorite band.

    M.... F....

    Really?

  52. G.... P....

    This is Godlike

  53. G.... ....

    workinonit!

  54. K.... F....

    This album is fantastic, also.

  55. T.... H....

    Still splendid. Could this be a mock reference to Jonathan King having a dream of the best band in the world who were named 10CC? Look for the documentaries on YT.

    T.... H....

    I've thought that as well.

  56. J.... P....

    oh my gosh I finally found you through J Dilla magic

  57. T.... B....

    Two Gibson guitars with terrible amp doesn't make it the worst band in the world :-)

  58. I.... ....

    RIP DILLA

  59. N.... B....

    thank you Dilla,, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

  60. M.... S....

    Wow! Forgot just how brilliant this (Manchester) band was...

  61. b.... ....

    I think Worst Band in The World alludes to their greed and nonchalant attitude to their fans in this hilarious send-up.

  62. b.... ....

    Sense of humour mixed with genius is addictive.

  63. 0.... ....

    worst band in the world. Best song in the world.

  64. S.... G....

    I'm as straight as they come - but I gotta admit to having a massive man-crush on 10cc...ooh!

    S.... G....

    Sexy buggers, weren't they?

    S.... G....

    Funny, clever and talented. Quite cute too. Irresistible.

  65. D.... G....

    The excellent Sheet Music album awesome LP from simply the best love it thanks guys Gatters

  66. j.... w....

    Kids today have no idea what music is. Time warp back to the 70's please.

    j.... w....

    This is how we get those "born in the wrong generation" people

    j.... w....

    thapoint09 I invented that phrase

  67. m.... d....

    Hilarious.

  68. K.... H....

    from the album Sheet Music, that was when their songwriting started becoming serious.

  69. p.... p....

    best band in the world

  70. P.... W....

    up everybody's, that TAKES TIME

  71. M.... B....

    loved this tune from 1st listening.

  72. J.... M....

    What ever happened to the original line up? This is there best line up!!!

    J.... M....

    that is the original line up Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme.

    J.... M....

    I know this is the original line up.....Just wondering if the original line up plays together???

    J.... M....

    not sure

    J.... M....

    No, sadly they don't. There's a new line up nowadays without Eric, Lol and Kevin. That's to say: another completely different band playing the old songs.

    J.... M....

    If you get the chance watch Graham Gouldman and 10cc touring, admittedly not the original line up but what an awesome live band, superb musicians wow.

  73. P.... M....

    Bad asssssss

  74. b.... ....

    rip in peace

  75. B.... ....

    Bird up

  76. v.... ....

    These guys are the polar opposite of Tenacious D. Thank you Eric Andre.

  77. A.... B....

    5 people listen to MORON 5.

  78. J.... M....

    I don't like this siong. I love it!

  79. s.... ....

    1:58 party time on the bridge

  80. J.... C....

    Thanks for posting. 10cc is one of my favorite bands ever!

  81. n.... c....

    Im not in love

  82. F.... d....

    I don't know why I like this ?

    F.... d....

    +Fred Suero Fred, I'm new to them because I'm Americcccccunn. If you look up a lot of their lyrics the more you get into them, you will see what ilya S is referring to. They do this a lot. They are a clever band. You won't hear that on top crap radio under that umbrella ella ella.

    F.... d....

    what do you mean lisa ? try formulating an intelligent sentence and let me know when you are done.

    F.... d....

    What I meant by my mispelling of American is that other countries have better airplay on the raido.  That's what I meant by Under My Umbrella Ella Ella by Rhianna.  That's the kind of crap that we get served up on a daily basis.  I hate to think all the best music has passed us by.  You used to be able to stand most of the songs they played years back, and now it's hard to hear even two on a more recent basis.

    F.... d....

    @Fred dog r/iamverysmart

  83. T.... B....

    My favorite donut led me here. Love this. #Dilla4Life

    T.... B....

    play me, buy me , workinonit

  84. M.... A....

    They were GREAT and HILARIOUS. Fabulous 10cc!

  85. S.... ....

    Dilladawg meets an important piece of Dutch music history.

    S.... ....

    @Srananbloke Who's Dutch?

    S.... ....

    +harrylime22 yo mamma

  86. r.... ....

    "Here we are together on your hi-fi, a little piece of plastic with a hole"....Love the sexual double-entendre. Amazing song from a wonderful band.

    r.... ....

    +rubicon1983 where's the double entendre? A thing that has a hole?

    r.... ....

    +Gluemonkey Yes. Could be a record. Could be a woman. That was what the band intended. There music is full of them.

    r.... ....

    I know they have double entendres but to say he could be singing about an inflatable doll is a push

    r.... ....

    +Gluemonkey Knowing the band's music like I do and their proclivity for doing things like this, I'm gonna go with the definite double entendre with the "hole".

  87. G.... M....

    poor man's sparks

    G.... M....

    +Ghetto Monk Absolutely nothing like Sparks. I have both bands albums in my collection and have never thought that they were in any way similar. 10cc were far superior to Sparks as well with more varied music styles in their music.

    G.... M....

    Hardly - as much as I love Sparks, 10cc had way more intricate compositions and instrumentation. Besides it's apples and oranges situation here - their styles are BARELY comparable anyway.

  88. A.... B....

    : ) : ) ♪♪♪♪ ♥ ♪♪♪♪  : ) : ) 

  89. A.... F....

    Fade me, fade me...

  90. D.... J....

  92. C.... ....

    Great track taken from their second and best album, Sheet Music.

  93. D.... S....

    Excellent Clip!!! No band even close to them.
