Phrasing can be really offputting. I heard 'How Can I Keep from Singing' (I think it was- I don't actually know the lyrics) and she sang "comFORT". It is so easy to hold a note and then sing the word naturally.

Here I am with Jim Carroll and sharyn all the way. If it has a pretty tune, perform it as an instrumental. If the words are not coherent, I have little interest in it. It would be worth writing a song with a pretty tune but inserting bizarre, out of context and obscene words and then mumble it. Wonder how long it would take someone who pays no attention to the words to catch on?
