Stupid musical musings
Over at A Small Victory, there was a post about worst songs.
This got me thinking, on my way home tonight, about some songs I’ve considered, well, not bad, but wierd. Or at least had some wierd lyrics.
Steely Dan- Kid Charlemagne: “Is there gas in the car? Yes there’s gas in the car!” That’s very mildly wierd.
Yes- Roundabout: “In and around the lake; mountains come out of the sky, they stand there!” That’s getting pretty wierd.
The Guess Who-hand me down world: “Has anybody here seen the fuzzy wuzzy lovin’ cup explosion? I think we missed it” That’s pretty freaking wierd.
I think, if I could get my hands on the drugs those folks were using while writing those songs, those lyrics would probably hit home with crystal clarity. Until then, I’m gonna be baffled. What are your favorite stupid song lyrics?
“A soap impression of his wife which he ate, and donated to the Nation Trust”
“Happiness is a Warm Gun” by John Lennon
He was just too doped up and ignorant, er, I mean deep and beautiful for this world.
lyris?
i agree with them on ‘we built this city’ i hated the song then, and hate it now. it just grates on my mind. styrofoam rubbing does nothing to me, nor does a frog gig on a chalkboard, but damn starship and we built this city,
i actually punched my boombox once.
