Songs that make no sense (but we love them anyway)?

[JBN]

Well.. make sense out of it, or maybe not... Violent Femmes and Blister in the Sun

Seriously you don't get its about masturbation? LOL

 

[similost]

I do get it.. but over all, it makes no sense...

 

[JBN]

I do get it.. but over all, it makes no sense...

Its interesting to read the lyrics.

 

[similost]

Don't need to read them.. know them all too well... I can give it to you line for line...

OK.. another one... Tiptoe through the tulips... uke:

 

[similost]

OK.. as much as we love mention of pickles around here... A song that goes nowhere... Arlo Guthrie's Motorcycle Song...

 

[epifanatic]

Da do do do, Da da da da, is all I want to say to you!!

 

[koseltri]

How about Camper Van Beethoven "Take the Skinheads Bowling"?

 

[olson_jr]

Girlfriend is Better by the Talking Heads made sense to me once, but it has since 'Stop Making Sense.'

 

[enricosonic]

A lot of Pixies songs make little sense to me but "Hey" I really like and I don't know what the hell they're talking about.

 

[similost]

How about The Melvins. The Talking Horse. The lyrics even say Means nothing to no way....

 

[anytune]

MMMBop - Hanson
Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um - Major Lance
Da Do Ron Ron - Crystals
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey - Paul & Linda McCartney

Nanook a no-no

And as everybody knows, the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

But only when Fido was asked the question, "What is your conceptual continuity?

 

[epifanatic]

"Is that a real poncho, or a Sears poncho"?

"Underwater Rimes"- Digital Underground

"the shark ate his amp, and your boy got clowned"...

And, of course, the original song that gave us the "never learned to swim" sample... Parliament's Aqua Boogie:

And the funkiest (and making the least sense) funk song of all time... also by Parilament- "Flash Light:

"Is that a real poncho, or a Sears poncho"?

Who care as long as.. Her Stereo is Four Way, and I Dig it in her room!

 

[kneeOhFight]

Robert Palmer- I Dream of Wires

 

[beans]

Yes, definately Hocus Pocus by Focus. It rawks, but is way beyond silly.

Oh c'mon, man! Yodeling is very hip.

 

[Sandy G]

lyrically, just about all of Steely Dan, and it' all superbly crafted music

"Deacon Blues" is somewhat ostensibly, TANGENTALLY, about Wake Forest...The Demon Deacons...and a failed love affair w/a gal who went there. I think. Make sense now ? No, well, I didn't think so....(grin)

 

[tshoejohn]

Blinded by the light? It never made any sense to me but I liked the Bruce version.

Some of the Rolling Stones songs seem to make geographical references that seem to carry more meaning than just the location. Play with Fire in particular mentions what sound like neighborhoods that refect social standing and wealth, but I don't know the neighborhoods, so it doesn't exactly make sense - but I love early Stones.
