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!”

Another winner from America. Why muskrats??? And why would anyone remake this???
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight Doin' the town and doin' it right In the evenin' It's pretty pleasin' Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land And they shimmy And Sammy's so skinny And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singin' and jingin' the jango Floatin' like the heavens above It looks like muskrat love Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?" And she say yes With her kisses And now he's ticklin' her fancy Rubbin' her toes Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singin' and jingin' the jango Floatin' like the heavens above It looks like muskrat love

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, laLa, 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?

Herman's Hermits?
be curious; not judgmental
Yes, the version you are remembering is by HH. However, that is a much older song (1910).

I love The Beatles, but there's one song's lyrics that I find annoying: Hello, Goodbye. .

Paul McCartney wrote a lot of stupid lyrics.
