I do like it, but probably Hey Stoopid. Especially the intro

I’d have to go with “The Saga OF Jessie Jane” . The humour has not aged well in that one at all. As for singles i always thought “Lost In America” was kind of dumb . A rich old man in his late 50’s singing about the financial struggles of a teen ? Not great.

I could say exactly this about I'm Your Gun. A personal favorite but it's.... stoopid.

But my pick is No Man's Land off Da Da. The whole album is cringeworthy lyrically but that's probably the worst. Followed by I Love America and Dyslexia. "Is dis love, or is dyslexia"....

I was leaning toward "Only Women Bleed" or "I Never Cry" but the heavy metal years are downright FESTOONED with cringe.

My head says "Trash" but my heart says "Lost in America."

I love lost in America. When I first heard that song at 16 I thought it was brilliant and hilarious

Agree. Love the album but the title track sucks.

I think I Love America is great, and a lot of Da Da is under appreciated. But Alice does have a lot of filler songs. I think one of the most cringeworthy songs is "What Baby Wants" with Kesha off Welcome 2 My Nightmare. I like Kesha too but the lyrics are like out of rhyming 101. A lot of stuff off Welcome 2 My Nightmare are cringey.

I also agree with somebody else who mentioned The Saga Of Jesse Jane.

A tie with Hey Stoopid and Lost In America.

DaDa is a masterpiece concept album - not a week link there (I Love America maybe, but not so much as being gringeworthy)

Alice has never been accused of being the most serious about his music. It’s tough to separate what’s meant as a humorous song or one that’s just laughable. Stuff like “Feed My Frankenstein “ , “Thrill My Gorilla” and “Muscle Of Love “ are all very stupid songs lyrically , but they work. I can crank the shit out of them and not feel embarrassed. Cringe to me is when he tries too hard to be funny or current , like that COVID pile of shit he put out.
