Song Lyrics, the most ridiculous & nonsensical


M-Dudz

Recommended Posts

I can't believe no-one has nominated the Oasis classic (there are two words that don't often go together) from Little James - "You play with your toys, even though they make noise."

 

Liam Gallagher~!

 

There's a fair few Oasis lyrics that belong in here:

 

'Mr Sifter sold me songs when I was just 16

Now he stops at traffic lights, but only when they're green'

 

'She's got a sister, and God only knows how I've missed her

And on the palm of her hand is a blister, and I need more time'

and of course pseudo-philosophical nonsense like:

 

'True perfection has to be imperfect

I know that that sounds foolish but it's true'

 

Scary thing is, I thought he was a fucking great lyricist when I was 15 :blush:

I have a feeling rappers and hip hoppers may well dominate this! Plenty of ODB randoms to pool from!

 

Loving Des'ree! I'd forgotton about that line, it used to enrage me whenever i heard it!

 

I expected someone else to be quicker off the mark with this next one though.

 

"In an mmmbop they're not there, until you lose your hair. No, but you don't care."

Hanson, 'Mmmmbop'

Meat Loaf - I Would Do Anything For Love

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

Except you do realize he's saying he wont cheat on her? The full version says as much.

 

Hammerfall's Howling In The Pack is a perfect example of this:

 

"We rule the dark

And we do as we please

And nothing can stop us

No time to catch some z's"

 

Someone should have been slapped for even suggesting that line.

Yeah but you can't defend 'Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are" or the way he sings it, even...

It's horrendously lazy songwriting. Just looked in his rear view mirror or watched Jurassic Park, sang a melody and he had a number 1 hit.

I could write a belting ballad called "Lighting an Office Overnight Wastes Enough Energy to Boil 1000 Cups Of Tea" but I have far too much respect for people.

Ah crap I came to post the 'Fuckin' magnets. How do they work?' line.

 

There was a great thread here not so long ago about ICP. That 'Miracles' song was a gold mine for this thread.

Someone had a cracking gif of the "It's just there in the air" with Violent J's satisfied but confused face as their sig. Always cracked me up...

You can take your pick of pretty much any line in Lyte Funky Ones' 'Summer Girls':

 

'New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits,

Chinese food makes me sick'

 

racist

 

'When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet,

Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets'

 

needless, disrespectful abbreviation of a man's name

 

'Call you up but what's the use,

I like Kevin Bacon but I hate Footloose'

 

how can anyone hate Footloose?

 

In the interests of full disclosure, I do fucking love that song though.

There's this one song by that crappy Slipknot ripoff band Mushroom Head where the chorus goes "GREEDO DIED AT THE HANDS OF SOLO! GREEDO DIED AT THE HANDS OF SOLO!"

 

 

There are some inaccuracies here. Mushroomhead are in fact:

 

1: Not a Slipknot rip-off

2: Awesome

 

So now you know. :)
