I have this song stuck in my head... sort of. I have the Idea of this song stuck in my head is more like it.

All I can remember about it is that I think the album cover had a whale on it.

But it got me thinking.... what are some songs that you think have lyrics that make no sense.

Maybe the song I'm thinking of will turn up.

Not entirely relevant, but...

"Wake up in the mornin feelin like P diddy"

How does one feel like P. Diddy? What does Sean Combs feel when he wakes up? Besides, I thought he was just "Diddy" now. Or maybe Puff Daddy again.

"Got my glasses I'm out the door gonna hit this city"

Ah, so in this verse one can say Ke$ha reveals her metaphorical nearsightedness. Perhaps we are all nearsighted, blind to details, blind to others. Or, I presume, she's putting on those stupid Kanye West glasses. What are those anyway? What do they do?

"Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack"

Oh my.

"Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't comin back"

First, five lines ago she said she just woke up. Did she time warp to night? Also, one can assume she's not coming back due to the bottle of Jack she just drank, and probably will be in a drunk accident. Not drunk driving though. She seems like a Vespa girl.

"I'm talking - pedicures on our toes, toes"

Well, toes are implied with pedicures. It's not like you're going to get manicures on your hands, hands.

"Trying on all our clothes, clothes"

Why is this repeated? Emphasis? Besides, I thought she left for the night (and ain't comin back).

"Boys blowing up our phones, phones"

What can this mean? Is it possible to transmit a virus that will physically explode Ke$ha's iPhone?

"Drop-talking, playing our favorite CDs."

What?? First she woke up, then she left for the night. Now she's listening to CDs?

"Going to all the parties, tryin to get a little bit tipsy"

Okay. Ke$ha is confused and depressed, if all she does is go to parties and tries to get drunk for no reason. It sounds like something a Nic Cage character would do, as long as it's a Cage film where he's not treasure hunting or his face is aflame. Note, it is not reflected in the transcript but Ke$ha does not say "tipsy" but instead "TEEEIIUUUUOOOPPPSSY."


"Don't stop, make it pop"

What? Make what pop?

"DJ, blow my speakers up"

Well, that's even more hazardous than the exploding phone problem she seems to have.

"Tonight, imma fight"

With whom Ke$ha? YOUR INNER DEMONS?

"Till we see the sunlight"

Ah. You are fighting to stay awake and not your inner demons. yet. I'm sure in that fight to not pass out drunk, demons will arise.

"Tick tock, on the clock"

That is what clocks do...

"But the party don't stop, no"

Oh, Ke$ha! You woke up drinking Jack, going to an eternal party is a straight route to alcohol poisoning.

"Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh"

I have nothing. This is literally yodeling.


"Ain't got a care in the world, but got plenty of beer"

Again, I feel you should care about alcohol poisoning or, possibly, paying for this beer. That seems like an issue that will arise.

"Ain't got no money in ma pocket, but I'm already here"

Okay, Ke$ha just mooches. No one likes her, she's just there.

"And now the dudes are linin up cause they hear we got swagger"

First, the word is swagga. If you listened to any rap (or rap-ish) song ever, it is ALWAYS "swagga." Say the not real word right. Second, why? I think theyre lining up to take you to AA. This is a problem Ke$ha.

"But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"

What? What? This woman does not know who Mick Jagger is. She is getting him confused. Mick Jagger looks like an old wallet that someone jumped into a pool with.

"I'm talking about - everybody getting crunk, crunk"

...what can I say? Ke$ha lives in 2003.

"Boys trying to touch my junk, junk"

EXCUSE ME KE$HA? NO. NO. WOMAN ANATOMY NEVER, EVER, GOES BY JUNK. JESUS GOD!

"Gonna smack him if they're getting too drunk, drunk"

You should goddamn talk Ke$ha! You WOKE UP drinking Jack Daniels! It's less smacking, and more "swatting" in the sense you look like a cat.

"Now, now - we goin till they kick us out, out"

Okay, now I feel bad. This woman has a stutter. She says words repeatedly for no reason. I mean, initially I thought emphasis, but no. Theres no reason "out" needs to be said twice

"but the police shut us down, down, police shut us down, police shut us - down"

Ah, so there is justice. Now just keep her off the street and-

"Don't stop, make it pop"

Why is she still here? She should be handcuffed to a bench.

"DJ, blow my speakers up, tonight, imma fight, till we see the sunlight"

Just... no. Ke$ha is going to be found in an alley. The police ruined her life by not locking her up.

"Tik tok, on the clock"

Again what? It's not like it says "tiCk toCk" on a clock. That's like saying "bow wow on the dog."

"But the party don't stop, no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh (x2)"

God, please end it. She's yodeling again.

"you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yea, you got me"

What??? When did this become Madonna? What the hell is this?

"You build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up"

Okay, I guess I can get used to this. At least it doesn't make me feel like I need to take a shower.

"Now, the party don't start til I walk in..."

What- OH MY GOOOD NOOOOOOOOO!

"Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Woah-oh oh oh
Woah-oh oh oh (x2)"

I guess she wanted to hammer that point in again. I have nothing else that can be possibly said.

I guess you could make up some sense for it, but as it stands i think "De do do do, De da da da is all i want to say to you" isn't exactly the kind of romanticism you wanna go for when trying to capture a girl's heart.

Basically anything by Beck in the 90's
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I?m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin? with a loser and the cruise control
Baby?s in reno with the vitamin d
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came sayin? I?m insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don?t believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin? all your food stamps and burnin? down the trailer park

Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?

(double barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
?cuz one?s got a weasel and the other?s got a flag
One?s on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it?s hangin? from a pigeon wing
You can?t write if you can?t relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin? on a termite
who's chokin? on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?
(get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?
(drive-by body-pierce)
(yo bring it on down)
Soooooyy....

?em llik uoy t'nod yhw os ,ybab resol a m'I rodedreP nu yos
[It's the Chorus backwards]

(I?m a driver, I?m a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)

Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?
(I can?t believe you)
Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?
(Nlehh...)
Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?
(Sprechen Sie Deutsch hier, Baby!)
Soy un perdedor
I?m a loser baby, so why don?t you kill me?
(know what I?m sayin?? )

First thing that came to mind was this:

"It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife."-Alanis Morisette : Ironic.

Although I don't like the song that much, that lyric always stuck out to me though.
I like to imagine her just crying on the kitchen floor, surrounded by those ten thousand spoons trying to butter her toast with a tea spoon.

EDIT: Oh and Panic! At the Disco was never that innocent.
(Go on)

Innocence
Sunk the glow and drowned in covers
Send for all your absent lovers things

Sheepish wolves
Looking lived-in, eating buttons
Wink, just don't put your teeth on me

(Go on)

Accidents
Let the evening in the back door
Filled the room
Ceiling to the floor

Beat backbones
Grazed the poem and made it strange
I wasn't born to be a skeleton

(Go on)

Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens

(Go on)

Jealous orchard
The sky is falling off the ceiling
While I'm tucking fibs into a cookie jar

{Bombed} reverie
It's useless searching in the cupboards
When everything you have is on your back

(Go on)
Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
[x2]

Go on, grab your hat and fetch a camera
Go on, film the world before it happens
(Go on)
Film the world before it happens
Film the world before it happens
Film the world before it happens

Because I absolutely have to say it...

Revolution 9 - The Beatles

That song feels like someone on a bad acid trip talking about a time they were on a bad acid trip.

See also 'I am the Walrus'

I Am The Walrus lyrics
Songwriters: Mccartney, Paul; Lennon, John;

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly, I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Mr. City policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run, I'm crying

I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
From standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
G-goo goo g' joob

Expert, texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide, I'm crying

Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
G-goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' goo
G-goo goo g' joob goo

Juba juba juba
Juba juba juba
Juba juba, juba juba
Juba juba

Also; Blur, Song 2. I got my head checked, by a jumbo jet, it wasn't easy, but nothing i-is! !!??!?!?!

I hear that I Am The Walrus was written in response to a teacher who was analyzing Beatles lyrics in class and twisting them pretty horridly. So they decided to see what he would make of a song that was made to not have any meaning.

Random aside:
I enjoyed the hell out of Word Disassociation.

There's a chair in my head, on which I used to sit. Took a pencil and wrote the following on it.
...
Now there's a key where my wonderful mouth used to be.

While this might not be the type of 'nonsense' you're looking for, it does appear that several of Kajiura Yuki's songs involve nonsensical (yet amazingly epic) lyrics.



Edit: Woops, I accidentally left the quote i used to remind myself of the video-link code. My apologies.

Yeah, I am a MASSIVE Beatles fan, but I don't really call that a song, I call that a track, a twelve-minute noise jumble.
Which leads me to my OT response: Half of everything the Beatles ever wrote.

This one really freaked me out for some reason. But it's insanely cool they made this at the same time.

You need to watch the video that goes with the first one for double-mindfuckery.




A lot of Múm's songs are rather nonsensical and I think that's part of the reason I love them so much.

One Week by the Bare Naked Ladies. The verses are just random. http://youtu.be/snZcn3Qt1xI

http://youtu.be/0S8wBNoiv90 This video deals with the subject of nonsensical song lyrics in a very funny manner
