Top Three Songs With Most Unintelligible Lyrics

I'm not dissing these songs or anything, I'm just saying the lyrics don't make much sense.

3.The Police/King of Pain (1983, Synchronicity)

The first verse (and the second one that repeats it) kind of halfway make sense if you analyze it enough, and the chorus, but the rest is just "what?" . I mean, what's "a skeleton choking on a crust of bread" supposed to mean?

lyrics to King of Pain

2. The Cars/Good Times Roll (1978, The Cars)

This song is half terrible metaphor, half Ric Ocasek running out of things to rhyme. the musical part of it is good, though. What were you thinking, Ric?

lyrics to Good Times Roll

1. The Human League/ Sound of the Crowd (1981, Dare)

Here's the moment you've been waiting for, the song with the stupidest lyrics ever!

OK, so the chorus kind of makes sense. But not much.

lyrics to Sound of the Crowd

Well, there you have it. The worst song lyrics in my collection.

May the Force be with you, uh, I can't think of anybody, Sorry.

Get What You Give/New Radicals

Artist: New Radicals

Title:You Get What You Give

Album:Maybe You've Been Brainwashed, Too.

I know, you're shocked i'm putting a song from post-1990 on my blog, right? Well, it's a good song, and I hope you remeber it.

Wake up kids

We got the dreamer's disease

Age fourteen

They got you down on your knees

So polite

We're busy still saying please

Frienemies

Who when you're down ain't your friends

Every night

We smash their Mercedes-Benz

First we run

And then we laugh till we cry

But when the night is falling

You cannot find the light

You feel your dreams are dying

Hold tight

You got the music in you

(Don't let go)

You got the music in you

(One dance left)

This world is gonna pull through

(Don't give up)

You got a reason to live

(Can't forget)

We only get what we give

I'm coming home baby

*no idea aout this line*

Give it to me now!

Four AM

We ran a miracle mile

We're flat broke

But hey we do it in style

The bad rich

God's flying in for your trial

But when the night is falling

You cannot find a friend

You feel you're tree is breaking

Just then

You got the music in you

(Don't let go)

You got the music in you

(One dance left)

This world is gonna pull through

(Don't give up)

You got a reason to live

(Can't forget)

We only get what we give

This whole damn world

Can fall apart

You'll be ok

Follow your heart

Your in harm's way

I'm right behind

Now say you're mine

You got the music in you

(Don't let go)

You got the music in you

(One dance left)

This world is gonna pull through

(Don't give up)

You got a reason to live

(Can't forget)

We only get what we give

(Don't let go)

I feel the music in you

*another mumbled line*

Fly

High

What's real

Can't die

You only get what you give

You're gonna get what you give

Just don't be afraid to live

Health insurance ripoff lying

FDA big bankers buying

Fake computer crashes dining

Cloning while they're multiplying

Fashion shows *mumblemumblemumble*

Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson

You're all fakes, run to your mansions

Come around, we'll kick you're ass in

(Don't let go)

(One dance left)

A Very Uber-Short Post

Dude.

Gangsters in the Sewers?

Micheal Jackson/Beat It

Again, if you have dialup, this will take a long time to load. 30 minutes minimum. I feel your pain, I have dial- up, too.

I PROMISE, I will stop posting MJ videos, soon.

Notice in the beginning when he's lieing on the bed and he's wearing the piano shirt. What? And the gangsters in the sewers... I bet they stink.

Rock Paper Scissors? No, It's...

Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard!!!!

This game was invented because it seems like when you know someone well enough, 75-80% of any Rock-Paper-Scissors games you play with that person end up in a tie. Well, here is a slight variation that reduces that probability. (Note that for those of you who like to swing your fist back and forth and say, "Rock, Paper, Scissors, GO!", might want to continue to do that, replacing "Rock" with "One," "Paper" with "Two," and "Scissors" with "Three.") This version is also nice because it satisfies the Law of Fives.

May the Force be with you, new additions spock and Lizard.

Ah...Nothing Like Queen at a Hockey Game in the Middle of June.

It was a truly one-time-only experience. I caught the end of the Stanley Cup game last night when I came down to brush my teeth. I've never experienced a hockey game in June, much less the Stanley Cup. It was once in a lifetime. And then they started playing "We Are the Champions", which always makes me laugh for some odd reason. Maybe the fact that the song is just so...Queen, yaknow? aqnyway, I realized that this would never happen to me in June ever again, and I'm like "wow. cool."

I kow, I know, lame post, but I couldn't think of anything better to say, except muse about why there are gangsters in the sewers in the "Beat It" video, which also makes me laugh for some odd reason.

May the Force be with you, Hurricanes( they won.). O yeah, and Freddie Mercury.

Dancing Heads and Exploding Accordions

They Might Be Giants/Don't Let's Start

*1986*

For those of you with dialup this will take a while to load. I'm talking like 30 minutes. Sorry. Don't feel bad,I have dial-up, too.

May the Force be with you, TMBG.

Am I The Only One This Lady Creeps Out?

This *duh* is the cover of Duran Duran's Rio.

This isn't a very good image, but it was clearest and biggest I could find. I was listening to it at home, and I was looking at the cover and it just struck me that that lady looks like a zombie or a vampire. And, what's worse, her eyes seem to follow you around the room. You can't see it in the image, but she has a yellowish tinge above her eyes and on her cheeks. Look at herthrough your peripheral vision and she looks even creepier. Great album, but they could've picked some better cover art.

May the Force be with you, Duran Duran.

What IS Vegemite?

We've all heard the Men at Work song "Down Under", right? Many a person, after hearing this song, was faced with a puzzling question: What IS Vegemite? And does it normally come in sandwich form? What does it look like? Does it smell bad? Well, ladies and gentlemen...

Top to bottom:Vegemite on toast, various cans of Vegemite

Vegemite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




Vegemite (pronounced "VEG-ee-mite", is the registered brand name for a dark brown, salty food paste made from yeast extract,used as a spread on sandwiches and toast, though occasionally used in cooking. It is popular in Australia and New Zealand and is known as one of Australia's national foods—it can be found in many Australian Diaspora communities such as London. Food technologist Dr. Cyril P. Callister invented Vegemite in 1923 when his employer, the Australian Fred Walker Company, had him develop a spread from brewer's yeast after war had disrupted the supply of imported yeast spreads.
The brand is now owned by Kraft Foods, an American multinational that is part of the AltriaGroup of companies and Australian produced Vegemite is available in the United Kingdom and United States.
Vegemite's name was picked at random out of a hat by Fred Walker's daughter, Sheilah. Faced with growing competition from the similar British Marmite, the product was known from 1928 to 1935 as "Parwill", allowing a convoluted advertising slogan that said "Marmite but Parwill"—that is, "Ma (mother) might not like the taste but I'm sure Pa (father) will." This attempt to expand market share was unsuccessful and the name was changed back to Vegemite. Today Vegemite far outsells Marmite and other similar spreads in Australia.
Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste is difficult to describe but is extremely salty and slightly bitter, and as might be expected, malty. While highly popular in Australia and New Zealand, it has never been successfully marketed elsewhere. It is notorious for the dislike it generates amongst some foreigners. Vegemite is not liked by all Australians - some find it far too salty to be palatable - but it remains an iconic symbol of Australia. It is available at some supermarkets and specialty food shops in a number of other countries.
Vegemite is often spread very thinly, with liberal amounts of butter first to help to soften the strong taste, or with sliced or melted cheese. A variation on vegemite toast is 'tiger toast' - where after spreading with vegemite, strips of cheese are melted onto the toast, creating a striking visual effect. It is also a key ingredient in the popular "Cheesymite Scroll" or "Cheddarmite Scroll" produced by bakeries in Australia, a savoury spiral pastry which includes cheese spread and Vegemite. A teaspoon of Vegemite can also be used in place of stock in some recipes.
The high salt level in Vegemite, serving as a preservative, has helped build its reputation as a long lasting product, leading to popular phrases such as "Vegemite will only go bad once the lid rusts through", hinting that an original tinned Vegemite could still be edible today.


Vegemite's rise to popularity was helped by marketing campaigns in the 1940s, using groups of smiling, attractive healthy children singing a catchy jingle entitled "We're happy little Vegemites". Indeed, many Australians still use the phrase "happy little Vegemite" to describe such children. Re-edited versions of the advertisements and jingle continue to be used for their appeal to patriotic nostalgia.
The lyrics to the Jingle are:
We're happy little vegemites
as bright as bright can be,
we all enjoy our Vegemite
for breakfast, lunch, and tea
our mummies say we're growing stronger
every single week
because we love our Vegemite
we all enjoy our Vegemite
it puts a rose in every cheek


Trivia:
Vegemite is mentioned in the lyrics of Doen Under by Men at Work:
I said "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
The song is cited by many non-Australians as the first time they had ever heard of the food.
Legend has it that if you smear Vegemite behind your ears, it will deter the drop bear.

A Few Observations on Leather Pants

Let us discuss the importance of black leather pants in modern society. If we didn't have leather pants, would we have anything to make fun of for fat guys for wearing? Would bored and slightly creepy people *SARA* have anything to drool over in their spare time? NO! This is why we must preserve the leather pair of pants. For future generations. THINK OF YOUR GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!! Don't let these cultural icons slip away!!!

May the Force be with you, hair bands and slaughtered cows.

Yes, there IS a Difference.

I don't care what you say, there is too a difference between bad and BAD. BAD , although spelled the same is something you wanna be, and is said with feeling, as in "but you wanna be BAD!"( see http://jedilizard.blogspot.com/2006/04/but-you-wanna-be-bad.html for explanation.) Bad is something you get in trouble for being. Now which one would you rather be?

May the Force be with you, Micheal Jackson.

2nd Place Two Years in a Row? That's Gotta Be Harsh.

This is Prem Trivedi. He won second place by missing 1 word in both the 1997 and 1998 national spelling bees. I watched the 1997 one a long time ago. I watched it a second time this weekend, and when I learned he was going to be on the 1998 one, I watched that one too. This is the best picture I could find of him, though it's not a very good one. There were only two pictures I could find of him. He came so close. Nobody remembers Prem. But I do.

I mean, aren't those just the sexiest glasses ever? *sigh*

(not sarcasm)

May the Force be with you, Prem Trivedi.
