Really horrible lyrics for a song that "made it"

Then comes the best part...

 

You say neato, take your libido, and roll to the church in your new tuxedo.

 

When did he get this tuxedo? As we learned previously in this tale:

 

They want a man who brings home the bacon

Got no money and you got no car

 

No money, no car, yet he buys a new tuxedo? With what? And why didn't he just rent a tux? Or better yet, just wear a suit? These are questions that need to be asked. :mad:

Not only that, but how did his broke ass manage to get runaway bride out of the parking lot with no car?

Sir Paul's "But if this ever-changing world in which we live in" always gets an award in this contest.Edited to add: I also hold Sir Paul responsible for "the doggone girl is mine." Is that the only two-sylable adjective he could find?

 

Aha! Someone else has the Dave Barry Book of Bad Songs, eh? :) But to be fair to the ginger minger, I always thought the line from Live and Let Die was: "But in this ever-changing world in which we're livin'..."

 

Which may not be the best lyric in the world but at least clears Macca of the tortology charge brought by Mr Barry.

 

From the same book, I offer the court the following evidence from I've Never Been To Me by Charlene...

 

"I've been undressed by kings, and I've seen some things a woman ain't supposed to see..."

 

"I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free..."

 

Surely the Motown label's finest hour.

Des'ree - Life

 

I don't want to see a ghost,

 

It's the sight that I fear most

 

I'd rather have a piece of toast,

 

Watch the evening news

I'm as serious as cancer,

 

When I say rhythm is a dancer

Money talks

but it don't sing and dance

and it don't walk.

And long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be

forever in blue jeans.

 

Honey's sweet.

But it ain't nothing

next to baby's treat.

And if you pardon me

I'd like to say we'll do okay

forever in blue jeans.

 

Maybe tonight

maybe tonight

by the fire

all alone

you and I;

 

nothing around

but the sound of my heart

and your sighs.

 

(The Irony -Blue Jeans are pretty expensive these days)

Cracklin' Rosie, get on board

We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go

Taking it slow

Lord, don't you know

Have me a time with a poor man's lady

Hitchin' on a twilight train

Ain't nothing there that I care to take along

Maybe a song

To sing when I want

Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune

 

Oh, I love my Rosie child

She got the way to make me happy

You and me, we go in style

Cracklin' Rosie you're a store-bought woman

You make me sing like a guitar hummin'

So hang on to me, girl

Our song keeps runnin' on

 

Play it now

Play it now

Play it now, my baby

 

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile

God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right

We got all night

To set the world right

Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah

 

Oh, I love my Rosie child

You got the way to make me happy

You and me, we go in style

Cracklin' Rosie, you're a store-bought woman

You make me sing like a guitar hummin'

So hang on to me, girl

Our song keeps runnin' on

 

Play it now

Play it now

Play it now, my baby

 

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile

God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right

We got all night

To set the world right

Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah

 

 

WTF is this song about?

 

How is "Cracklin'" a term of endearment?

Hands are shakin got your finger on the trigger

Jesus ain't complainin gonna figure it out

Somebody raped my tapeworm abortion

Come on motherf****** and deliver the cow

 

Brain and body melting while there's roaches multiplying

It's the alien infection it's the coming of Christ

All these sentimental halos and these consequential angels

When I'm runnin with the devil don't deliver the fight

 

Don't look at me now

Fell too fast your wings won't hold

Don't look at me now

Fell too fast your wings won't hold

 

Yeah and when I want to

Yeah I will find you

Yeah and when I want to

Yeah I will blind you

Another Marc Bolan tidbit:

 

You're built like a car, you've got a hub cap diamond star halo

You're built like a car, oh yeah

You're an untamed youth that's the truth with your cloak full of eagles

You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

Holly came from Miami, Fla

Hitchhiked her way across the USA.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her leg and then he was she - she said:

 

Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,

Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

 

Candy came from out on the island,

In the backroom she was everybodys darling,

But she never lost her head

Even when she was given head - she said

 

Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side,

Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

And the coloured girls go, doo dodoo

"Told me you were through with me and

Told me love was too plebeian."

 

Ugh.

Hey, that's one of the best rhymes ever! And Steely Dan may have a few clunkers, but in general they're way over most pop & rock music.

 

"'Scuse me while I kiss this guy."
LOL -- I was gonna say that

 

Anything by Phish, e.g., "The tires of the car are the parts that make contact with the road" (one of their better lines)

"A few of these verses, they've got me quite cross"? Amazing?

I think everyone's missing something: the gist of the song is that it's about writing a song!
