4merper4mer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Some songs have lyrics that if taken literally, would make the song unpopular. Can you think of any? Here is one: It's nine o'clock on a SaturdayThe Regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin Edited March 17, 2013 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 & others have lyrics that make you say "duh, no kidding!" because they are so obvious. Lucy in the sky look down on us (repeat) If she's in the sky how else will she see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's in the sky how else will she see us? That song is about drugs so who knows what the losers in ELO were thinking when they wrote it. Anyway another one I can think of is: With a boner on my shoulder feeling kinda older I tripped watching Mary go round blah blah blah I don't know and Goliath got tripped to the ground How do we get from an obviously slutty chick named Mary doing unspeakable things to a biblical giant falling with one line of indistinguishable text? I wish I knew what they said there. Edited March 17, 2013 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 & others have lyrics that make you say "duh, no kidding!" because they are so obvious. If she's in the sky how else will she see us? "The girl with colitis goes by" And what hell does her stomach condition have to do with anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 On the general topic of lyrical oddities, the first time my youngest brother Darryl heard the Beetles song "Paperback Writer," he thought they were singing "Pay for that Chrysler."
