SCRYED isn't too bad, but I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what
"I believe in drastic my soul" means.

My favorite is Berserk, "Tell Me Why". Great song, but what are they saying?
Tokyo Babylon has that strange Beatles-like song "Kiss Kiss".

No kidding! It's almost as bad as "Louie, Louie."

I believe the singer of the opening song, Steve Conte, is a native English
speaker, so this may just be "normal" garbled rock lyrics. Maaya Sakamoto
sang the closing song. I think she sings beautifully in either language.

The high school basketball anime "Dear Boys" has an opening song that goes
something like:
Hey guys
One two three
Sound of bounce your way now
Yo girls
One two three
Sound of bounce your way now
Going back to the classics, Zeta Gundam has this little couplet:
I wanna have a pure time
Everyone's a noble mind
Those were the first to come to mind. I'll think of more later.

mind"? "Pain trance continue" (which sounds like when I saw Merzbow play
live)?
However, possibly the worst Engrish in Japanese lyrics is the X Japan song
"Standing Sex" (that title alone should be a warning). Don't drink
anything while you're reading this or you'll have to wipe up your keyboard

I'd have to give the nod to Blue Seed's OP, which has the English phrase
"Pick me up foxy night game."

It's a _Sinatra_ song. It's actually English, not Engrish.

*nods* Just when they used it for Eva it became a badly pronounced
Sinatra song. ^_^

I don't think that counts as Engrish.
Now if Until Strawberry Sherbert were a theme song I'd list that.

Here's some:
For "Super Yoyo" (??) (similar to Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, but
featuring a Yoyo tie-in/promotion) (1998)
Someday let's together
I cannot help myself
Someday let's together
Yes to the special place
Someday let's together
Out of mind they said
But I just want to tell you
I don't give a dawn
(yes, they say "Dawn", not "Damn" :P
From "The Humanoid: Love's sad Planet" (1986)
Dance! Dancin' in the Rain!
From Project A-ko III:
Get a Chance (English version, by Caravan with Babe)
Get Leady! (ready) Get Chance Lady!
Jerry dance for me tonight
.....
Your shy heart
Can't get burning night
my Lover
Just like normal dreams
We'll take you sexual action
gonna make a wonderful night
Wonderlady Dancing, Dancing
Your Sweet Voice
cannot show me dreams
my sweetheart
Just like normal dreams
we'll give you midnight present
etc, etc.

The only one that comes to mind (that I haven't seen posted by anyone
else, unless I missed a post) is the intro to the second season of Hajime no
Ippo.
"I want to dive, lost, mind
I want to dive, lost, mind
I want feeling, I want feeling, Itsumo
I want to dive, lost, mind
I want to dive, lost, mind
Why why why why I want to dive feee-ling, oooo-ver"

You will also want to see http://www.engrish.com/ if you haven't already.

I'd have to say that almost any Megumi Hayashibara song with English
lyrics has Engrish, specially Strawberry Sherbet:
Even I can't enjoy your sensous lies
maybe we are playing hide and seek
I love lookin' in your curious eyes
you may be making a tongue-in-cheek
I never can count you out from my life
'cause you are my fatal music
There's also this line from 'It's Destiny':
Hey! Hey! Lay to heart DESTINY!
'Space Lonely Soldier'... (self explanatory title)
Promise you not to lose my heart
Whatever gets on me
(...)
Leave my destination in your hands
'Cause I believe in you
(...)
Don't you never never ever give up
(...)
Feeling your warm heart
Coming back behind the ice-cold mind...
If we go into the Games field, you can find, for example, the opening
of Zone of the Enders 'Kiss Me Sunlights', the title speaks for itself
:P
There's also this line from the op of Rockman X5, 'Monkey', by Moskito
Milk:
Don't make a monkey out of me!
Or Kiss In The Dark by Masami Okui...
Kiss in the dark
never you can't go outside...
But going back into Anime ops and ends, I can name the english version
of 'Type: Wild', one of the endings of Pocket Monsters sung by Rika
Matsumoto. Well, that might not be Engrish but the lyrics are
completely hilarious. Something about wearing these pants everyday...
