1. "Dog & Butterfly" by Heart always makes me laugh
"Up in the air they like to fly..." As a child, it was a revelation to me that *dogs could fly.* :crazy:

4. "Up in the air SHE like to fly"
The butterfly flies, the dog..

"Below she has to try and she rolled back down the warm soft ground..."

I agree the lyrics are dumb but they do make a little sense.

6. Ah, well there you go!
As a kid, I always heard "they" - this actually makes a bit more sense now. :D

2. Phish:
Reba put the stopper
in the bottom of the tub
picked up the jar
unscrewed the top
and watched it drop
into the water

Put in a scoop of plaster mix
some coffee grounds and mud
and then she stirred it with the ladle
that her grandmother had bought her

throw in a pot of melted wax
a forefoot and a hoof
apple core
worms galore
a can of some corrosive

coconuts and chloraform
some wicker and some cork
toxic waste
some purple paste
she hoped was not explosive

Reba dipped the ladle
for a taste of her creation
and she knew that what she made
would be the finest in the nation!

:bounce:

3. The Minutemen:
"When those bombs start falling
On the first day of World War Three
Gonna get me a girl
And go and fuck her
Yeah Yeah
World War Three."

Those are the entire lyrics to one of their tunes. And they're my favorite band!

7. Vertical by U2
I have no idea WTF that song's about.

I'm not going to bother posting the lyrics, because we've all heard them fifty-seven million times on that ipod advertisement.

10. Vertigo.
It's about Bono trying to get a signal on his cell phone in a bar. Seriously. He needs to just do humanitarian stuff full-time.

9. Horse With No Name
"Well, I been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
Cos there ain't no one for to give you no pain"

Not only are the lyrics nonsense but the grammar is atrocious!

11. "First I drink, then I Smoke"
from Detroit Rock City. For some reason, that always cracks me up when
I hear it. As does most Kiss songs.

12. I love "Beth"
Best rock ballad ever. I always felt so sorry for the poor woman and wondered why she didn't just divorce Peter Criss or either cheat on him, since his first allegiance was to the band.

:D
