My choice for the WTF Kind of Lyrics are Those award goes to the following tune made famous by Cat Stevens, with a disco version by Donna Summer:
[quote]MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
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
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no [/quote]
:loco:
I’ll raise you a Phish song:
[quote]
Golgi Apparatus
I look into the finance box
Just to check my status
I look into the microscope
See golgi apparatus
Golgi, oh, woe is me
You can
I see your Phish and raise you one Pink Floyd (Song: “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict,” off of Umma Gumma).
[quote]Aye an’ a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin
ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried.
The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion, get out wi’ ye Claymore out mi pocket a’ ran doon, doon the middin stain picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.
Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.[/quote]
Actually, that’s the most logical part of hte whole song. The rest is all animal noises.
How Buddy Holly got away with this song in his time deserves a WTF?
Not Fade Away:
[quote]I’m gonna tell you how it’s gonna be
You’re gonna give your lovin’ to me
I’m gonna love you night and day
You know my lovin’ won’t fade away
You know my lovin’ won’t fade away
My love is bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show you but you drive me back[/quote]
oh mercy!
gotto love these lyrics…most of her songs are ‘you had to be there’ songs!!
“Space Dog”
Way to go Mr. MIcrophone
Show us all what you don’t know
Centuries secret societies
He’s our commander still
Space Dog
So sure we were on something
Your feet are finally on the ground
He said so sure
We were on something
Your feet are just on the ground girl
Rain and snow our engines have been receiving
Your eager call there’s colonel Dirtyfishydishcloth
He’ll distract her good don’t worry so
And to the one you thought was on your side
She can’t understand she truly believes the lie
Lemon Pie
He’s coming through
Our commander still
Space Dog
Lines secure
Space Dog
Deck the halls I"m young again
I’m you again
Racing turtles
The grapefruit is winning
Seems I keep getting this story twisted
So where’s Neil when you need him
Deck the halls it’s you again
It’s you again
Somewhere someone must know the ending
Is she still pissing in the river
Now heard she’d gone
Moved into a trailer park
So sure we were on something
Your feet are finally on the ground
He said so sure
We were on something
Your feet are just on the ground girl
So sure we were on something
Your feet are finally on the ground
He said so sure
We were on something
Your feet are just on the ground girl

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

It’s all in the inspiration…
These lyrics by Stiltskin I have never been able to make any sense of:
[i]Swing low in dark glass hour
you turn to cower
see it turn to dust
move on a stone dark night
we take to flight
snowfall turns to rust
seam in a fusing mine
like a nursing rhyme
fat man starts to fall
year in a hostile place
I hear your face
start to call
strong words in a ganges sky
I have to lie
shadows moves in pairs
Ring out from a bursied postcard
in the shooting yard
looking through the tears
out of the black slate time
we move in line
but never reach an end
fall in a long stray town
as the ice comes down
rivers start to bend[/i]

Here’s another from the mighty Floyd, off their first album “Piper at the Gates of Dawn”. Lyrics by Syd Barrett - says it all really. Here’s “Bike”.
[quote]I’ve got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It’s got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I’d give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I’ve got a cloak
It’s a bit of a joke
There’s a tear up the front
It’s red and black
I’ve had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I know a mouse
And he hasn’t got a house
I don’t know why
I call him Gerald
He’s getting rather old
But he’s a good mouse
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I’ve got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man
There a man
Lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish
They’re on the dish
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I know a room full of musical tunes
Some rhyme
Some ching
Most of them are clockwork
Let’s go into the other room and make them work

Why ruin a great song by putting a commercial in it? I never have understood that one.

I agree, richardm. But at least they didn’t try to make the first two lines rhyme…
The Heineken
The fine Columbian…
Of course, in reference to a 19-year-old girl, that actually might be more accurate. 
One of Gomez’s first songs to be released - Get Myself Arrested
[quote]I wear the same shoes as everyone
I got the same blues as everyone
So try and call me, I’m immobile man
Yes I am
Got a haircut, got a silver tooth
Gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my BMW
Tryin’a get themselves arrested[/quote]
Captain Beefheart’s 'Ice Cream for Crow…weird
[quote]It’s so hot
looks like you have three beaks crow
the moon’s so full
white hat on a pumpkin
you know there’s something
the moon was a stone’s throw
stop the show
I need to say hello
to the crow
light the fire piano
the moon showed up
and it started to show
tonight there’d be ice cream
ice cream for crow
ice cream for crow
sun cream by day
ice cream for crow
ice cream by night
ice cream by day
the sun ain’t stable
ice cream for crow
crow pants the scarecrow
crow dance ah ho ho
crow dance ah panther
scare crow you answer
you can hee and haw
laugh and scratch
ha ha ha
ha ha ha
boss and toss
don’t shake my hand
give me your claw
two tears in a haystack
scarecrow get back
tonight there’s gonna be
a feather treatment
beneath the symbol
we’ll all assemble
oh how we’ll fly
oh how we’ll tremble
cut the cake
we’ll all get well
turn up the speakers
hop flop squawk
it’s a keeper
ice cream for show
ice cream for crow
now now that’s it
now you can go [/quote]
In a totally off-topic moment…
[color=blue]Gomez is releasing a new album!!![/color]
Just a sample from Shreikback’s Oil and Gold album
[quote]In the jungle of the senses
Tinkerbell and Jack the ripper
Love has no meaning not where they come from
But we know pleasure is not that simple
Very little fruit is forbidden
Sometimes we wobble sometimes we’re strong
But you know evil is an exact science
Being carefully correctly wrong
[/quote]
[quote]Only the anacrucis
the main event remains
Shameful and naked, out there in the
great cold outdoors
We have to learn these things again
Bathe in this incandescent glow
the leap to something I don’t know
There is no doubt upon us when
the greasy men come back again[/quote]
Nothing beats this:
[quote=“the beatles”]Across the Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing
Oh come on…Across the Universe is the only thing that helped my 5th graders truly understand personification and hyperbole last year.
This one’s always bothered me…
[quote=“59th Bridge Street Song”]Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin

If your 5th graders (in Taiwan, I’m assuming) actually understood ‘Across the Universe’, I’m impressed.
