To get, some might say, far too irate with song lyrics that Make. No. Logical. Sense *screams with rage*

[Tallalime]

Just for example, and it annoys me every time I hear it,

Both Nirvana and Malcolm in the Middle were not big when you were little.

Nirvana was big in the late 80's/early 90's

MitM started in 2000.

Rage

Oh Oasis yes, but especially all of Supersonic.

"cause my friebd says he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under waterfalls
Nobody can see him
Nobody can ever hear him call"

Stupid lyrics, and until recently I thought it was 'Muffin' not my friend, which made them even worse

'gonna write a classic, gonna write it in an attic'

the whole Elton John crap song 'if I was a sculpted and then again no or a man who makes potions in a travelling show'

WTAF. I am old btw.

Yeah there is that! But still, a bullfrog?

Weirdly enough I love:

Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower
proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono
like a crazy-quilt stargown
through a dream night wind

Sounds like someone wrote the lyrics by randomly opening a dictionary, but it's a great song nonetheless...

Now I love Duran Duran.......but Mr Le Bon's lyrics (and dancing) are ropey to say the least. What about this one....

Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war

A chimney is a black eye, so she's actually asking, "What's she gonna like when I punch her face in?" Charming.

I absolutely cannot stand the Red Hot Chili Pepper's pretentious rhyme-for-the-sake-of-rhyme guff.

"Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone
So smart she's leading me to ozone" - Eh?

"Did you meet your fortune teller?
Get it off with no propellor,
Do it up, it's on with Stella,
What a way to finally smell her" - You SMELT this woman? And in an unusual way?

Aha! Well if there's only 9 MILLION bicycles then clearly the Melua can easily count them silly me!

Speaking of Oasis, what's all that nonsense in Champagne Supernova and slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball?! Don't cannonballs move quite quickly out of a cannon? Maybe the cannonball is being transported down the hall by a snail or something...

yy Whitegold to anything by Duran Duran!

My absolute favourite band, but what the actual fuck is he on about? Ever?

My bestest ever crap lyric though is by a reggae singer called Tony Rebel who was desperate to namecheck himself in his song and came up with the absolutely epic:

"...a fresh vegetable (pronounced 'veg-eh-teb-el')
so tell me how you love Tony Rebel'

or summink like that. Love it!

The Elton John one is "if I was a sculptor" - but it really doesn't add a lot more sense to the song!

Champagne Supernova is bonkers, especially the "Some day you will find me, Caught beneath the landslide, In a champagne supernova in the sky" - I didn't pay that much attention in geography but I thought landslides happen ON land, hence the name, and the sky was ABOVE the land, usually....... Although they have enough of the line "where were you while we were getting high" which kind of excuses the whole song, as I was obviously somewhere else and sober

The new jessie j song where the raper in the middle rhymes "Today I woke up feeling like the mayor" with "I spend about an hour looking in the mirror"....

Or eminem and rhianna - "But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane "

The two that pop into my head are;

Kanye West - black skinhead
"I keep it 300, like the Romans"
Ummm think that Sparta was in Greece

Game - camera phone
"The horse on my Lambo"
Nope that will be a bull, horses are ferraris

Idiots.

Has anyone mentioned Shakira's mountain breasts yet?

elquinto that is freaky, I was about to write your post almost word for word!

I think Eltons just saying that he's not got an exciting occupation but he's written a song that the recipient can tell everybody "this is my song". Bit shit considering he's absolutely loaded I suppose, depends on how you look at it, I suppose song is the gift that keeps on giving

I can't have a bad word said about Noel Gallagher, the mans an axe wielding lyrical genius. He's not the best guitarist to ever grace the planet but he's got it nailed as a singer/songwriter. I love that man.

What song are the lyrics from the OP friom?

Frank Zappa springs to mind but there were some pearls of wisdom in his genius

Watch out where the huskies go
Don't you eat that yellow snow

He was like the Willy Wonka of music.

tabitha Big When I Was Little by Eliza Doolittle.

SouthernComforts - the ones you mustn't confuse with mountains? Makes me laugh like a loon every time - love that song!

Thems the ones.

Starships were made to fly - no they bloody are not/will not, they are made for space travel, not flying to Spain

"What if god was one of us?"

He wouldn't be god, fuckwit.

Baby. Love really hurts without you!

Well you're probably doing it wrong and should stop doing it then!

If she really was a day tripper surely she would have a return ticket?????
