Apparantly Desiree "life" has one

But I liked that culture club

"War is stupid
and people are stupid
and ... [something else] is stupid
and ...[lalallala] stupid"

Definitely my fave

Electric Avenue, Eddy Grant. Split my f*ing sides every time I hear it.

Deep in my heart I abhor ya,
Can't get food for the kids,
GOOOOOOOOOD GOD,
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

f*ing hilarious.

rabbleraiser · 05/05/2007 14:45

And lay off Dylan ..... or else.

GiantSquirrelSpotter · 05/05/2007 14:46

ROFL at Boney M, I'd forgotten about them

What about

Zipping up my boots...
Going back to my roots, yeah!

Winner of the 'I'm so up my own arse I'm a pile' award has to go to the Jam

'Two lovers missing the Tranquility of solitude'

And let us not forget the wild attempt to scan the following line by Toto

'rises like a leopard about the Serengeti'

rabbleraiser · 05/05/2007 15:02

Ah, MB ... agree about that that particular line, but 'Life goes on like a kick up the arse,' is pretty cool

Snaf · 05/05/2007 15:04

MB - isn't it 'rises like Olympus above the Serengeti'?

Although your version is funnier...

donnie · 05/05/2007 15:04

I feel I must defend the Jam

they smelt of pubs
And wormwood Scrubs
And too many right wing meetings

Good stuff, surely you agree mb??!!

Blandmum · 05/05/2007 15:07

but in the end is that entertainment? I think not

I would like to share with you this little gem by the Prog Rock Gods Yes.

I'm reliving a little of my teenage years here!

'A man conceived a moments answers to the dream,
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Oh.

Turn round tailor, coins and
Assaulting all the mornings of the crosses
Interest shown, never know
Presenting one another to the cord, their fruitless worth;
All left dying, rediscovered cords are broken,
Of the door that turned round, locked inside
To close the cover, the mother earth.
All the interest shown, they wont
To turn one another, to the sign hide, hold, they wont
At the time tell you, watching the world,
To float your climb. watching all of the world,
Watching us go by.

And you and I climb over the sea to the valley,
And you and I reached out for reasons to call.'

How about that for a UberWankfest

donnie · 05/05/2007 15:11

obviously written after a larger than average consumption of acid!

suzywong · 05/05/2007 15:13

" ... and finkin baht yerrolidays"

genius, Paul, genius

that is precisely why prog rock scares me somewhat, MB

southeastastra · 05/05/2007 15:15

omg what on earth are Yes on about! haha

NadineBaggott · 05/05/2007 15:16

Yes are brilliant!

NadineBaggott · 05/05/2007 15:18

even funnier
I thought it was

'rises like a leopress above the Serengeti'

fryalot · 05/05/2007 15:19

Yes don't do lyrics that make sense, they do lyrics that sound good.

Yes are dp's favourite of favourites and I just think "wtf are they on about"

rabbleraiser · 05/05/2007 15:19

Oh Debora,
You Look Like a Zebra

(T.Rex) 1972.

rabbleraiser · 05/05/2007 15:20

A leopress? He he he

Blandmum · 05/05/2007 15:22

I must 'out' myself here and say I have had a massive amount of pleasure listening to 'Close to the Edge' today.

Really Joyful, life enhancing stuff. Wanky, you, but great

I love Genesis as well. The old stuff! Saw them live once. Mt DB saw them with Gabriel on the Foxtrot tour! Lucky bastard!

southeastastra · 05/05/2007 15:23

was that meant as a compliment do you think rabbleraiser?

john wayne is big leggy

NadineBaggott · 05/05/2007 15:25

Am gutted we're going to miss Genesis at Old Trafford in July as we'll be on holiday - bugger!

rabbleraiser · 05/05/2007 15:31

Ha ha, Southeast! John Wayne is big leggy ... I'd forgotten that one.

Sympathies about Genesis, NB. What a great band.

Blondilocks · 05/05/2007 15:57

It's my humps, my humps my lovely lady lumps.

Don't mind that too much.

donnie · 05/05/2007 16:51

OMG John Wayne is big leggy by Hayzee Fantayzee. They don't make 'em like that any nore ( thank the lord).

Who remembers Marilyn the super tranny from the 80s? he /she had a couple of hits as I recall, can't remember the lyrics though but presumably they were shite?

donnie · 05/05/2007 16:53

I think 'big leggy' is a coded way of stating that someone's winkle is extra large.

PinkMartini · 05/05/2007 20:43

Have you seen Alanis Morissette's parody of my humps ?

Original Black Eyed Peas video

mawbroon · 05/05/2007 22:38

Anyone remember the Smurf song that charted in the early eighties? Even as a child, I knew that the lyrics didn't make a lot of sense and having learned some Dutch, I now realise that it is a direct translation gone horribly wrong.

Where are you all coming from?
From Smurf land where we belong
Are you talking just like us?
No we smurfs make much less fuss
Do you do the things that we don't dare?
We are real smurfs so we don't care.

Further on, one line is

Can you through a small key hole?

and also

Flute smurf - begin.

WTF? And even more WTF is how come I remember it all??? And worse still is that I now know it in Dutch too

All together now

Waar komen jullie uit vandaan........
