I was thinking about song lyrics. There are some really stupid lines out there in some songs.

Ex.

Donna Summer: On the Radio: "Someone found the letter you wrote me on the radio" Did she leave it on the radio and someone found it and called the radio station and said..."Wait till you hear this?"

Brandy: Yes I'm sure she's a fine girl, but she's not too bright, he told the bitch he was married to the sea. That's a wife I wouldn't want to piss off.

Stevie Nicks: Edge of 17: "Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singing oh baby ooh said ooh." My doves don't do that, they coo and sometimes sound like they are laughing.

ZZtop: Legs: "She got legs, she knows How to use them" Why? are the prosthetics?

Anyone else think of any stupid lines that make you say...What the hell does that mean???

You're missing a comma


Someone foudn the letter you wrote me, on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt


You have allow artistic licenese even though th more correct usage would have been.


Someone on the radio found the letter you wrote me
And they told the world just how you felt

Here you're obviously being facetious... a woman putting a stocking on is a deadly weapon.

You forgot the ultimate in dumbass Donna Summer lyrics:

Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again


WTF?

She didn't write the song... and it's about McCarthur Park in LA.

Here's a snippet explaining the 'meaning'.

In the 40's, 50's ands early 60's, Macarthur Park was a little piece of heaven in downtown Los Angeles. Sundays there were a cultural event. Young couples picnicked there. The locals did indeed play checkers and backgammon. The boat house provided motor boats that I loved to drive around the lake and intermingle with the many varieties of ducks and fowl that had become tame from the provders that circled the shoreline.
It was a little piece of heaven in a thriving metropolis. Afterwards we would have a malted milk shake near the boat house and look down on this mystical lake. To call Macarthur Park a bad song is to rip the heart out of any Angelino that looked forward to those days a long time ago. Macarthur Park is an anthem written by Jimmy Webb that must have tugged at his heart strings as much as it still does to mine.
-Darwin J

So I guess it's one of those 'had to be there' to get.

ElSol

ps. FUCK... HOW BORED AM I!?!
 
This is my absolute favorite what-the-fuck song. It's so damn weird that you almost have to love it:

Loser ~ Beck

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose (beefcake pantyhose?)
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control
Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin’ I’m insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don’t believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park

Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare (this is THE best line in the song )
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
’cuz one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag
One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hangin’ from a pigeon wing
You can’t write if you can’t relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite
That’s chokin’ on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(drive-by body-pierce)
(yo bring it on down)
Soooooooyy....

(I’m a driver, I’m a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)

The Beatles!!!

HOW DARE YOU!!!

[I never really got the whole Beatles thing but I'm bored...]

Anyway... the rest of the song explains it (I think)

I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
but what I've got I'll give to you
For I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love

If you're going to go here... then I have to pull out the whuppin' stick...

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver

WTF-F!!!

How HIGH do you have to be to come up with that?

ElSol
 
Well, it's Barenaked Ladies - they're like that on purpose. :D

Besides, it doesn't have "forces of evil in a Bozo nightmare."

Since you will not accept defeat, I must go even deeper... just remember by feeding my male ego, you could have foregone the horror.


Mmmbop, ba du ba dop
Ba du bop, ba du ba dop
Ba du bop, ba du ba dop

Mmmbop, ba du ba dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop

Oh... God! I feel sick!

GOD you are blonde dyed! Donna Summer is desperate to get laid, its a promo ruse! Brandy is just DUMB. You have Stevies song title wrong and wrong ;) It's on "Rumours" I'm sure with Fleetwood Mac. In any case you are thinking of pigeons not doves. As for ZZ Top? First she uses them, but never shaves them. Who listens to dudes with beards that long, anyhow? THIS IS THE AGE OF THE HAIRLESSNESS! This is the beyond Brazilian generation, old lady :devil:
 
You know this means war don't you!!!

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand

And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Ooo

Ha!

Okay... it's not weird so much as painful!

Just try to Imagine Billy Ray trying to move his hips in the video....

THE HORROR!!!

The rest of that Beatles song is just as strange, but I think that "I am the eggman" may be my favorite line....I dunno:

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run.
I’m crying, I’m crying.
I’m crying, I’m crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don’t you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I’m crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.
Goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob g’goo.
 
another classic case of "what the fuck?" - brought to you, once again, by the Beatles:

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good-looking ’cause he’s so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me! I know this one! *squirming in chair with arm raised*

It's a reference to "Brandy" by Looking Glass;

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say

She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"


:cathappy:
 
I was listening to a song earlier today that I am pretty sure has to do with impotence...

But my little boat is empty
It don’t go
And my oar is broken
It don’t row, row, row
But my little boat is empty
It don’t go
And my oar is broken
It don’t row, row, row
 
As long as you insist on going to musical greats... I will end up being the winner...

You my lil'sugar,
I'm yo little chulo
And every time we kick it it's off to the groovy
Treat you like my sticky ickey
or my sweet oowy goowy

Take that!

Sincerely,
ElSol
