50 cent had a recent song out i think it was called down and out,
(it was'nt a good song) it was a luuuuurrrvvvv song from the piece packing homie whose main hobby consist's of getting shot, but had a line in the luuuuuurrrrvvv song that went ''I LUUURRRV YOU LIKE A FAT KID LOVE'S CAKE MMM MMM'' strange lyric's, it's no wonder he's made a few enemy's with lyric's like that, try serrenading a senorita with that.
On to great song's with strange lyric's, nearly anything by the smiths.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
The Undertones - There Goes Norman:
Oh watch a man
There goes Norman
He'll get you if he can
There goes Norman
He's always hiding in the dark
Be sure to wander past the park at night
Oh what a surprise
There goes Norman
He'll poke out your eyes
There goes Norman
he never lets himself be heard
Too busy running after girls at night
There goes Norman
There goes Norman
Mother tell me what can I do
The girls are laughing they're very cruel
Don`t worry Norman your time'll come
And you can mean them and bring them home
Hes out to night
There goes Norman
Hell slain tonight
There goes Norman
Meanwhile the cops are on the heat
Cos Norman's waiting in the street tonight
There goes Norman
There goes Norman

holiday song by the pixies is probably the best song about incest i know ... pretty much any song by them has weird lyrics anyway!
believe it or not i loved that song.you had mick jones ex clash and i think they had a couple of other semi celebs in the band and also included was a guy called don letts who couldnt actually play anything or sing (like the kit kat ad) i think he was a producer or something.
the chorus was brilliant with horn sounds from the keyboards

the beatles were notorious for semi hiding cheeky lyrics and phrases in some of their songs.
example:in "penny lane" there is a reference to a guys possible first sexual experience "for a fish n finger pie" is in there.
"day tripper":in live versions of this they substituted "shes a big teaser" to" shes a pr1ck teaser"
"strawberry fields" is laden with drug induced references
The sultan's of ping fc, had song's that were full of strange lyric's, where's me jumper, teenage vampire, I'm in love with a football hooligan were just a few but they had a song called ''give him a ball and a yard of grass'' were all the lyric's were quote's from Brian Clough like ''a man can have no greater love then give 90 minute's to his friend's'' and if god meant the ball to be played up there he would have built pitch's in the air if god meant the ball to be played up high he would have built goalpost's in the sky

The song is a tribute to film director Nicholas Roeg. Both the song and it's video uses imagery from his films Performance and Don't Look Now.Originally posted by Conor74
Remember Scritti Politti telling us about his prayers to Aretha Franklin in Wood Beez.
Or E=MC2 by Big Audio Dynamite. Great great song, but what was that chorus about?
Somebody I never met
But in a way I know
Didn`t think that you could get
So much from a picture show
Man dies first reel
People ask what`s the deal?
This ain`t how it`s supposed to be
Don`t like no aborigine
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Took a trip in Powis Square
Pop star dyed his hair
No fans to scream and shout
When mobsters came to flush him out
Gangland slaying underground
New identity must be found
On the left bank for a while
Insanity Bohemian style
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Met a dwarf that was no good
Dressed like little Red Riding Hood
Bad habit taking life
Calling card a six inch knife
Ran off really fast
Mumbled something `bout the past
Best sex I`ve ever seen
As if each moment was the last
Drops of blood colour slide
Funeral for his bride
But it`s him who`s really dead
Gets to take the funeral ride
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Space guy fell from the sky
Scratched my head and wondered why
Time slide into time
Across international dateline
Scientist eats bubblegum
Hall of fame baseball
Senators a Hoodlum
Big chiefs in the hall
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Stray thoughts fear to tread
Placed upon the screen instead
Shes my flame too hot to hold
Had to settle for her cold
Bloodlust - Greek God - Gold discovery
Gone bust - Tight wad - Slow recovery
Axe job - Flame thrower - Ironbar and gun
Betting shop - New owner - A walk in the sun
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery
Spread the news the Maestros back
With a beat - box soundtrack
The King of brains - Queen of the sack`
Executives have heart attack
It`s assault course celluloid
The money makers would avoid
Sometimes notions get reversed
Centre of the universe
Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery...
Forgot to tell you that the title e=mc2 comes from another Roeg film Insignificance which also features Albert Einstein as a character. All the lyrics are inspired by Roeg films including the three I've mentioned. Dialogue from the Roeg films were also sampled. It was the first rock song to use sampling, I believe.

Yeah they did, that's what the line "space guy fell from sky" refers to. That was another movie directed by Roeg. The weird lyrics make pefect sense once you know that it was a tribute to Roeg and have knowledge of his films.Originally posted by the 12 th man

About Roegs film Performance which stars Mick Jagger, I read that Secret Affair's "mod" image was inspired by the film. The members of Secret Affair used go to screenings of the film and the likes of Bob Geldof and members of the Sex Pistols and the Clash would be attendance. One member of the Clash was a certain Mick Jones who went on to found Big Audio Dynamite.
She seems to marry pop stars with Irish backgrounds. First Donovan, then Celtic fan Jim Kerr and finally Liam Gallagher. She has a shamrock tatooed on her ankle.Originally posted by Conor74
Wasn't Dan Donovan (the first Mr. Patsy Kensit) the keyboardist?
Kerr is a Scottish name in origin anyway.Originally posted by Conor74
Though I'd like to claim him as one of our own, and I know he lived here for years, I don't think Jim has any Irish blood.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
He has said that he is of Irish descent in interviews. Some Irish surnames were anglized as Kerr. Although Brian Kerr is actually descended from Scottish Kerrs because of his Northern Presbyterian ancestry. Also even if Jim's surname was Scottish, it doesn't mean he's not of Irish descent. There could have been some intermarriage.Originally posted by Peadar
Kerr is a Scottish name in origin anyway.
Roughly 85% of Celtic fans in Scotland are Catholics of Irish descent. The rest are Catholics of Highland or Hebridian stock, Catholics of Italian, Polish or Lithuanian descent etc. and Scottish Protestants who go against the flow.

Surprised no one has mentioned any Nick Cave songs. The Ballad of Henry Lee and Where the Wild Roses Grow are 2 very odd songs altogether. In fact most of Murder Ballads would leave one in a state of wanting to slit ones wrists. Powerful music, but deeply disturbing and depressing.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
do you also have/had andy summers (ex police) down around there azOriginally posted by Conor74
TW Hugh Cornwell of the Stranglers stayed a round these parts a few times.
well???
oh and mick o dwyer as well

Rock Lobster is brilliant song but has really weird lyrics. See for yourself on
www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/rocklobs.htm
see what you mean alright.Originally posted by Paddy Ramone
Rock Lobster is brilliant song but has really weird lyrics.]
the music of cocteau twins who have had numerous albums are made up of swirling guitars and keyboards type of sound.
the singing on each song is unintelligible gobbledy gook but its done in such a way as it sounds like proper lyrics/words as it blends in with the music.
anyone like the cocteaus??
