Songs with good tunes and annoying lyrics!

I enjoy some songs but really object to their lyrics, such as:

Delilah (You laughed at me so I killed you)
For the Good Times (Let's have one last **)
Softly as I leave you (I am too cowardly to tell you face to face)
Gentle on my mind (I use you whenever it is convenient)
The Impossible Dream ( I am a hero)
My way (Aren't I wonderful)

I am sure you can all think of some that annoy you!

Someone mentioned Frankie Vaughan and Green Door on another thread.

Green Door what's that secret you're keeping.

Pink Floyd swore that 'We don't need no education' was ironic. Hm....

Petula Clark....she could even have been Petulant Lark, couldn't she....she always looked like a spoilt child, very pretty-pretty! (Now, green, stop being catty!!) shock

My little brother had a crush on Petula Clark when he was about seven. She was singing a song about a little shoemaker in his shop. I do so love to remind him about this!
