Dumb song lyrics (Read 793 times)

My all-time favorite is:

 

life's the same i'm moving in stereo
life's the same except for my shoes

 

Deep!

 

 

And what does every guy picture when they hear this song?

BTW, there are so many dumb lyrics in pop, metal, etc, that it’s to be expected.  The great dumb lyrics (or maybe bad lyrics) are those that come from great songwriters.  Someone mentioned Dylan earlier.  One of my favorites (about Lenny Bruce):

Never robbed any churches, nor cut off any babies' heads
He just took the folks in high places
And he shined a light in their beds.

Can you imagine the process here? “I need a rhyme for ‘beds.’  Keds?  No.  Feds?  Too obvious.  I’ve got it!  ‘Cut off any babies’ heads.’  Yeah, that’ll work!”

Led Zep's Dancin' Days\

" I saw a lion he was standin' alone with a tadpole in a jar...."

Huh? WTF?

On the first part of the journey, 
I was looking at all the life. 
There were plants and birds. and rocks and things, 
There was sand and hills and rings. 
The first thing I met, was a fly with a buzz, 
And the sky, with no clouds. 
The heat was hot, and the ground was dry, 
But the air was full of sound. 

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name, 
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the desert you can remember your name, 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. 
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la

 

And things?  Just gave up there, huh?  Plus, did he just offer "rocks and things" as a subcategory of "all the life" he was looking at?  

 

Wasn't this banned because the radio stations thought it was a metaphor for Heroin?

Drying out?

Seeing things that were unnoticed before?

remembering your name?

and who can forget this:

yellow matter custard

dripping from a dead dog's eye

crabalocker fishwife

pornagraphic priestess

boy you"ve been a naughty girl

you let your knickers down

chorus: (sing along everyone!)

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

chorus: (come on everyone sing along! I know you cant help yourself)

classic John Lennon!!  pure genius or wacked out on acid?

I'm Henry the 8th I am

Henry the 8th I am I am

I got married to the woman next door

she's been married 7 times before

and every one was a Henry  (Henry)

wouldn't take a Willie or a Sam (no Sam!)

I'm an 8th old man I'm Henry

Henry the 8th I am I am

Henry the 8th I am

2nd verse same as the 1st

I'm Henry the 8th I am

Henry the 8th I am I am

(on & on with the chorus)

3rd verse same as the 1st

I'm Henry the 8th I am

Henry the 8th I am I am

(think you got it now?)

Anyone remember who this was by?  just about the only British invasion band that parents actually liked.

now that this song is stuck in everybody's head, I will be moving on.  you're welcome

Yes, the version you are remembering is by HH.  However, that is a much older song (1910).
