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

:D yours? :devil:

(dont kill me - :p :catroar: )

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"

But ...

But I ...
But I figured it out ... http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/japan/japan006.gif
 
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot his secretary.


At least, that was what an old acquaintance thought the lyrics were.( Yes, she was blond)

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)
You mean you actually don't get this?

Geez.

:)
 
Here she come down, say "Mony, Mony"
Well, shoot 'em down, turn around, come home, honey



WTF is that about?!?!?!?

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)
You can buy fuckin, companionship, someone to listen to you and nod. Love is not purchaseable.

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?
Ok. So there's that wavelength thing again. :) I was gonna post that one but I decided to scroll down and read the rest first. :D
 
Analyze this:


Mmmbop, ba duba dop ba do bop,

Mmmbop ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do

From one of the greatest odd bands of all time:

A man came up to me and said
I’d like to change your mind
By hitting it with a rock, he said,
Though I am not unkind.
We laughed at his little joke
And then I happily walked away
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
Where the two of us live today.

:D
 
They Might Be Giants

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What’s he like? it’s not important
Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he’s underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, particle man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

Universe man, universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man

He’s got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it’s a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

very cool song and i suppose you could get some meaning from it but on the *hole*
:confused:

Most of their songs dance right on the edge of understanding. Like an algebra equasion that you know works but you can't quite grasp it. :confused:

I don't know, makes some sense to me... I once spent hours making a stupid cake shaped like a fancy wrapped box for a Christmas party... what an anticlimactic experience eating it/watching others eat it was

oooooo, I love TMBG and that was one of my favorites...

I think they've moved into educational music of some sort now... but I'm not sure why I think that...
 
how about the lyrics you always hear wrong,

the was a song i think springsteen did, I'm not sure,
I remember it as

Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a douche
another runner in the night.

the douche part always confused me
 
My two favorite misheard lyrics:

Ain't no woman like the One-Eyed Gott
(Ain't no woman like the one I got)

Excuse me, while I kiss this guy
(Excuse me, while I kiss the sky)
 
" there she was just a walking down the street
singin Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
snapping her fingers and shuffling her feet..."

Did she ride the short bus other times?
 
I love this song, but the lyrics.....well, they're strange (except for the first line, I GET that ;) )

She gave you a flower
The one that God gave her
You all up in de kool-aid
But you do not know de flavor
Get into the zone baby
And do yourself a favor
Head down spin around
Get a little refried
If that don't get it you can
Catch it on the b side
Just push play
Fuckin' Eh
Just push play
Theyre gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play
Fuckin' Eh
Just push play
Were comin at you anyway
Sweet leaf dreamer you been
Smoking up the ganja
Damned if you do yeah
But don't get any on ya
Kickin off the cashmere
Putting on the kasbah
It's a kiss, a diss
And trade it 4 a coo hah
Just push play
Fuckin' Eh
Just push play
Theyre gonna bleep it anyway
Just push play
Fuckin' Eh
Just push play
Were comin at you anyway
Instead of growin old
All dapper and neat
Im gonna grow my hair
Right down to my feet
Its u and me baby
No pimp daddy jack
Its Cadillac wack no Cadillac wack back

another great song with some weird lines:

She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minor
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars, she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you

Recommended at the price
Insatiable in appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try
