Most random/silly song title/lyric?

[·WídgêT·]

I wanted to post a topic about this before I took my break but I just remembered it now so I thought I'd do it now.

I've come across some very interesting songs in my musical career (not really the right word but I can't think of another one). Have any of you ever run into something in a song that you thought was completely ridiculous?

I'll give an example, the one that sticks out in my mind (and still a half decent song) is "The Adventures of Jabubu" by An Endless Sporadic.

(The weird part is the song has no lyrics so I have no idea where it comes from...)

So...any other ones you can think of?

Best i can think of atm is :

Killing me Killing You - Sentenced

Not the greatest but still.

"I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-o, Beat-o Flat-On-My-Seat-o, Hirohito Blues" by Hoagy Carmichael

(And yes, I have that memorized!       )

Eiffel 65 - I'm Blue(Da ba dee)


This is actually one of my favorite songs. But the lyrics are... well... It's kinda hard to explain, it's best if you just listen.

Jimmy Buffet has some funny songs like "If the phone doesn't ring, it's me".  I always got a chuckle out of this one, probably my favorite.

Jimmy Buffet - Elvis Imitator

I walk up to the mike and and then I shake my hips
I take a deep breath and put a snare on my lips
See me on the street you wouldn't know my name
But imitating elvis is my claim to fame
So when you put my imitation name in lights
There'll be imitation good rockin' tonight

'cause I'm an an elvis imitator and I just can't stop
Imitating elvis from the bottom to the top
Imitate the way he talked, the way he smiled
I throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
This imitation elvis may not be the king
But baby I'm the next best thing

Singing viva las vegas and the g.i. blues
Won't you love me tender in my blue suede shoes
Well let me be your teddy bear, if you must
Oh baby please surrender, 'cause I need your touch
Well if you feelin' lonely, need a place to dwell
Come on down to imitation heartbreak hotel

We're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)

Yeah my gold lamee cape and my sequined suit
Pompadou haircut and my high-heeled boots
Imitating elvis is the only way
I can make it through my imitation day
I know this rocking music can't be denied
'cause I was imitating him before he died

Well I'm an an elvis imitator and I just can't stop
Imitating elvis from the bottom to the top
I imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
I throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
This imitation elvis may not be the king
But baby I'm the next best thing

Agree.

Motörhead (who has a deep voiced male lead vocalist) has a song called "I'll Be Your Sister".

There's also The Bagel Song, which is basically a dude saying Bagel over and over, edited a bunch of times for different pitches, etc.

Going off Kiwi's Jimmy Buffet post, I always appreciated "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Pencil Thin Mustache".

And who could forget Paradise by the Dashboard Light?
