The worst lyrics EVER

Examples supplied in a poll for The Worst Pop Lyric In The World... Ever include the baffling reference to apple crumble in ABC's That Was Then But This Is Now, and the meek admission of Des'ree in Life: "I don't want to see a ghost ... I'd rather have a piece of toast."

Another front-runner includes Culture Club ("War is stupid and people are stupid").

It's not too late to cast your vote from the shortlist of 10. DJ Marc Riley will announce the winner (or should it be loser?) tomorrow on his BBC6 radio show, from 7pm.

But there is controversy over some overlooked classics, such as Elton John's apparently pointless line in Your Song: "If I was a sculptor - but then again, no."

Did they really sing that?

ABC, That Was Then But This Is Now: "More sacrifices than an Aztec priest/Standing here straining at that leash/All fall down/Can't complain, mustn't grumble/Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble."

Snap, Rhythm Is A Dancer: "I'm as serious as cancer/When I say rhythm is a dancer."

Human League, The Lebanon: "Before he leaves the camp he stops/He scans the world outside/And where there used to be some shops/Is where thesnipers sometimes hide."

Razorlight, Somewhere Else: "And I met a girl/She asked me my name, I told her what it was."

Duran Duran, Is ThereSomething I Should Know?: " Andfiery demons all dance when you walk through that door/Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as nuclear war."

Oasis, Champagne Supernova: "Slowly walking down the hall/Faster than a cannonball/Where were you when we were getting high?"

Des'ree, Life: "I don't want to see a ghost/It's the sight that I fear most/I'd rather have a piece of toast/Watch the evening news."

Black Sabbath, War Pigs: "Generals gathered in their masses/Just like witches at black masses."

Toto, Africa: "The wild dogs cry out in the night/As they grow restless longing for some solitary company/I know that I must do what's right/Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti."

U2, Elevation: "I've got no self control, Been living like a mole now/Going down, excavation/High and high in the sky/You make me feel like I can fly/So high, elevation."
