SONGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE

 

Walk Like an Egyptian

-- The Bangles.

 

Hunh?

 

That chick plays a sweet tambourine, though.

Thank you so much, covfefe, and good night!

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight (Lonnie Donegan)

 

"Now the nation rise as one
To send their wanted son
Up to the White House, yes,
The nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
The bonny burning question,
What has swept this continent?
If tin whistles are made of tin,
What do they make fog horns out of?
Boom boom
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?"

Burning Down the House (Talking Heads):

 

"It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work and baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame"

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey (Macca)

 

"Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie (butter pie)
The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie"

"Stayin' Alive" by the BeeGees--most of it makes sense, but what does this mean:

"We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man"

Re: MacArthur Park

 

That's a great one! There is a story behind it, though. Turns out, there really a was "a cake out in the rain"!  If you like music trivia, you can read about it here . . .

Daily Nightly (Monkees)

Mike says it's about riots that broke out in LA in 1966 in response to a curfew.  Danged if I can see that interpretation.  In the '60 we sought profound meaning under every rock. . . .

One of my favorite David Bowie songs makes no sense. Bowie himself is said to have told producer Ken Scott that it was a track for the American market, because "the Americans always like to read things into things", even though the lyrics "make absolutely no sense".

Eyeball    The Meat Puppets

 

"Four skulls in a square of bushes
Fireworks now and all were wed
They loved and walked and fed on garbage
Moved pool tables with bad backs

Since I hurt myself
I feel so much better
Suck my eyeball"

 

note..  not on my playlist   hahahhahaha

Blinded By The Light

-- Bruce Springsteen.

(Not Manfred Mann)

 

 

 

Springsteen wrote it and released it on his first album, Greetings From Asbury Park.

And that's all I know because the song makes no freakin' sense.

 

 

 

Thank you so much, covfefe, and good night!
