Stupid or nonsensical lyrics (Non-Bruce)

[cobalt]

I heard a song on the radio today that made me think of all the stupid or nonsensical lyrics that have been part of big hit songs.

Let's torture ourselves with some of these little tidbits of inanity...

"Guilty feet have got no rhythm!'

"Send your camel to bed"

"the ocean is a desert with its life underground, and the perfect disguise above..."


Jeez...

[FLO]

Great now I have Midnight at the Oasis rolling around my head!

[FindMyWay]

Actually i kinda get the line about the ocean

[Dirty Annie]

Hey they all make sense..

[BronxDarren]

Careless Whisper is a great song!

[orthy]

I Don't like you, and I'm gonna beat you up!

Beans, beans, beans
Jessie had some beans
He was happy, happy, happy
And he ate some beans

Naked, naked, naked
Sitting cross-legged
Naked, naked, naked
And he was happy, happy, happy
And he ate some beans

Wine, wine, wine
Jessie had some wine
He was happy, happy, happy
And he ate some wine

Beans, beans, beans
Jessie ate some beans
And he drank some wine
And he was happy, happy, happy
As he drank some beans

[Dirty Annie]

THAT IS A DIRECT RIP OFF FROM PEAS< PEAS PEAS eating Goober peas by the Kingston trio,Devil...without the nudity.

[Patter]

Wow, with all those beans and wine, a good thing Jessie was naked......less time to reach the bathroom :wink:

maybe he was trying to decide if any of his songs qualify (madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat)????


(P.S. LOVE the picture!)

This may (or may not) qualify as "nonsensical lyrics" but for years I thought the lyrics from the SAT. NITE FEVER Soundtrack song "More Than A Woman" were.....

BALD HEADED WOMAN

Can't explain why, I didn't even like the song, but everytime it was on the radio or the movie was on TV, I was singing...."Bald Headed Woman, Bald Headed Woman to me".......

Yeah, I know it makes no sense, but I'm sure we all have a "lyric or 2" that we've misunderstood.....

Ha.....:D :scratch:

Those of you from the Philadelphia area might remember Harvey in the morning on Q102 before it went to whatever lame format it has now.....he used to do a segment called "misconstrued lyrics" where people would call up and admit to the lyrics they had gotten wrong. I don't remember many of them, but the ones I DO know are classics:

"I'm gonna harden my heart, I'm gonna swallow my cheese....."

"What a feeling..........take your pants down, and make it happen."

And, the piece de resistance, Steve Miller's "Big old Jed in a lineup."

:roll:

[JerseyGirl2]

"there's the bathroom on the right"

(I think we even had a thread discussing whether or not Bruce and John Fogery sang that on purpose during one verse during the VFC show at CAA :) ).
