Senseless lyrics? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice Johnson · 02-17-2005, 04:09 PM

Are there any songs that have stupid lyrics in them? I have three

1.I Knew I Loved You-Savage Garden

Lyric-" I knew I loved you before I met you" Not only is this lyric stupid, it is also disturbing.

2.Let It Burn- Usher

Lyric-"When I'm hurting, I ain't happy." Duh. No brainer.

3.Horse With No Name-America

Lyric-"The heat was hot." No the heat should have been cold.

I'm not sure these are senseless, but the lyrics are sure silly.

Want a horse, I want sheep,
I want to get me a good night's sleep,
Livin' in a home
In the heart of the country.

"Heart of the Country" - Paul McCartney

So I sat in the attic, a piano up my nose,
and the wind played a dreadful cantata. (cantata, cantata)
Sore was I from a crack of an enemy's hose
And the horrible sound of tomato. (tomato, tomato)
"Monkberry Moon Delight"- Paul McCartney

I walking down the street the other day
Who did I meet
I met a friend of mine and he did say
Man I can smell your feet a mile away
"Smile Away"- Paul McCartney

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye.
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple people eater to me.
Well he came down to earth and lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
What a sight to see

It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me.

"Purple People Eater"- Big Bopper

Here's another Ram song that's compleltey senseless, Crystals - "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey," of course!

"There's no one left at home and I believe I'm gonna rain." What?

From "MacArthur Park":

"Spring was never waiting for us, girl / It ran one step ahead / As we followed in the dance." Huh?

Steve M. · 02-22-2005, 05:59 PM

From Paul McCartney's "Bip Bop"

Bip bop bip bop boom boom bip bop bip bop boom boom bip bop bip bop boom boom BAM!

George Harrison said he found "Bip Bop" "hard to relate to."

Crowded House's "Don't Dream it's Over"

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

---

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

Never made sense to me.

MissZero · 02-22-2005, 09:50 PM

Houdini, 1993

Los ticka toe rest.

Cuz I can ford a red eed

On a ree land.
Find a ree land.

You sink a my swan.
Rolly a get a worst in.
Maybe minus way far central

Milk maid dud bean.
Master a load a head.
Pill pop a dope a well run
general hash pump a gonna led.
