[billyskank]

1. There was that "Seven Seconds" by Neneh Cherry and that other guy

the Neneh Cherry bits were ok, but apparently the bits the guy sang were just gibberish.

[tigereye]

11. that "guy" would be Youssou N'dour

famous singer from Senegal.... that's why it sounded like giberish to you, I suspect, since he was singing in his native tongue. Have you ever heard Peter Gabriel's "Shaking the Tree?" That's him as well, he's a great musician.

[billyskank]

18. That's him

and no, it was actually gibberish. It wasn't his native tongue. He admitted so.

[tigereye]

27. I stand corrected

but he's still a great singer and I think that song is beautiful. :)

[Kutjara]

19. The gibberish of which you speak is a little known language called...

...French. Here are the lyrics:

"J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos
Qui ne divisent pas changer"

Which translates into English as:


I know the reasons that push us to change everything.
I would like us to forget about their color so they can be optimistic.
Too many views on race that make them desperate.
Let's leave the doors wide open,
So they can talk about their pain and joy.
Then we can give them information
That will bring us all together.

Not Rimbaud, perhaps, but hardly gibberish.

[billyskank]

31. I believed it was gibberish meant to sound like French

I know what French sounds like thanks, I live less than an hour from the place. :eyes:

[Kutjara]

38. We Brits are notoriously monolingual...

...so living in Bedford is hardly an unambiguous statement of Francophone credentials. Anyway, your earlier comment "it was actually gibberish. It wasn't his native tongue" made me think you believed him to be making up words rather than speaking any known language. My apologies.

D'our's native Senegal has two native languages, French and Wolof; D'our mostly sings in French.

[Monk06]

50. No Brits are at least bilingual and probably polylingual........

Barfly Jack: Rory? Yeah I know Rory. He's not to be underestimated, you've got to look past the hair and the cute, cuddly thing - it's all a deceptive facade. A few nights ago Rory's Roger iron's rusted, so he's gone to the local battle-cruiser to catch the end of his footer. Nobody is watching the custard so he turns the channel over. A fat man's north opens and he wanders over and turns the Liza over. 'Now fuck off and watch it somewhere else.' Rory knows claret is imminent, but he doesn't want to miss the end of the game; so, calm as a coma, he stands and picks up a fire extinguisher and he walks straight past the jam rolls who are ready for action, then he plonks it outside the entrance. He then orders an Aristotle of the most ping pong tiddly in the nuclear sub and switches back to his footer. 'That's fucking it,' says the guy. 'That's fucking what' says Rory. Rory gobs out a mouthful of booze covering fatty; he then flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest and the man's lit up like a leaky gas pipe. Rory, unfazed, turned back to his game. His team's won too. Four-nil.

[Initech]

2. How about this one: The Intergalactic Laxative

Yes, this is a real song from a CD called "Space Metal" by Arjen Lucassen:

I was impressed like everyone when man began to fly
Out of earthly regions to planets in the sky
With total media coverage we watched the heroes land
As ceremoniously they disturbed the cosmic sand

I awe with admiration we listened to the talk
Such pride felt they, such joy to be upon the moon to walk
My romantic vision shattered when it was explained to me
Spacemen wear old diapers in which they shit and pee

Oh the intergalactic laxative will get you from here to there
Relieve you and believe me without a worry or care
If shitting is your problem when you're out there in the stars
The intergalactic laxative will get you from here to mars

They don't partake like you and I of beefy burger mush
Their food is specially prepared to dissolve into slush
Absorbed my multi-fibers in the super diaper suit
Otherwise the slush would trickle down inside the boot

You may well ask now what becomes of liquid they consume
A pipe is led from penis head to a unit in the room
The water is recirculated, filtered for re-use
In case of anti-gravity, pee gets on the loose

Wherever man has conquered on the quest for frontiers new
I'm glad he's always had to do the no. One and two
It makes it all so ordinary just like you and me
To know the greatest heroes they had to shit and pee!

3. Probably "Merry-Go-Round" by Wild Man Fischer

C'mon let's merry go, merry go, merry go round! Boop boop boop!
Merry go, merry go, merry go round! Boop boop boop!
Merry go, merry go, merry go round! Boop boop boop!

Me and you can go merry go round!
It's very easy, just go up and down!
C'mon, c'mon let's merry go, merry go, merry go round! Boop boop boop!
Merry go, merry go, merry go round! Boop boop boop!
Merry go, merry go, merry go round! Boop boop boop!

[datasuspect]

4. I'm in league with satan

I was raised in hell
I walk the streets of Salem
Amongst the living dead
I need no one to tell me
What's wrong or right
I drink the blood of children
Stalk my prey at night


Look out beware
When the full moon's high n'bright
In every way I'm there
In every shadow in the night
Coz I'm evil in league with satan
Evil in league with satan

<2> I'm in league with satan
Obey his commands
With the goat of Mendes
Sitting at his left hand
I'm in league with satan
I love the dead
No one prayed for Sodom
As the people fled

<3> I'm in league with satan
I am the masters own
I drink the juice of women
As they lie alone
I'm in league with satan
I bear the devils mark
I kill the new born baby
Tear the infants flesh

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Well, anything by Wesley Willis pretty much counts so...

right now I'll go with "Suck a Cheetah's Dick"

Suck a polar bear's funky ass!
Suck a racehorse's cock with Heinz Tomato Ketchup!
Suck a donkey's shitty ass!
Suck a male camel's dick with Hoisen sauce!

Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick

Suck a European bison's smelly ass!
Suck a woolly mammoth's dick with Miracle Whip!
Suck a snow leopard's ass with whip cream!
Suck a hyena's spermy dick!

Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick

Suck a llama's shitty asshole!
Suck a panda bear's spermy nutsack!
Suck a sloth bear's bootyhole!
Suck a greyhound's musty ass, mothafucka!

Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick
Suck a cheetah's dick

6. "Mysterious Clown" by Mysterious Clown

I couldn't find the lyrics, but take it from me, they're odd.

[azmouse]

7. Muskrat Love

That song is like nails on a chalkboard to me... :scared:

[cwydro]

8. Well, there is always Louie Louie

they never did figure out the lyrics on that one, huh?

[cemaphonic]

33. Here you go.

Louie Louie,
me gotta go.
Louie Louie,
me gotta go.

A fine little girl, she wait for me.
Me catch the ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone.
I never think I'll make it home.

Louie Louie,
me gotta go.

Three nights and days we sailed the sea.
Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there.
I smell the rose in her hair.

Louie Louie,
me gotta go.

Me see Jamaican moon above.
It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I never leave again.

Louie Louie,
me gotta go.

Not very weird at all, really.

[Richardo]

9. "Minimum Wage" by They Might Be Giants

Minimum wage!
Hyah! <whipcrack>

[dback]

10. "Push the Little Daisies" by Ween

I was working at the Wherehouse, and the first time I saw the video and heard this song played in-store, I became so unhinged with hysterical laughter--I mean full-on, doubled-over, tears-running-down-the-face, can't-breathe laughter--that I had to leave the floor for about 10 minutes.

I hope someone posts it on YouTube someday.

[Elidor]

15. It's there

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO_gx0Xx_UM

Kinda funny, but ugh. Ween. I don't even want to try whatever drugs they're on. I'll never forget "Flies on My Dick." How they manage to get paying gigs is beyond me.

[dback]

17. Thank you (I think)

Boy, if that won't make you run for the hills, especially when the lead singer starts screaming the chorus. It's a whole new level of Dante's inferno.

Flashback to '92--ah, les jours des enfants....

[FoxOnTheRun]

28. oh boy. eom

[tigereye]

12. that's pretty weird - who did that?

on edit, it sounds like a weird sex metaphor....

I was gonna say anything by William Shatner - I'll try to find a bizarre recent lyric...

[LeftyMom]

13. System of a Down

All thier shit is pretty strange, but that song is odd even for them.

[tigereye]

14. well, that explains it

their videos are quite challenging, too....

[tigereye]

16. this is cool, but really strange

due to the collaboration of Ben Folds? and Shatner and it actually sounds pretty good. When I first heard it on the radio, I howled for quite some time! ;)

Common People
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-cola.
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me.
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
I want to live with common people, I want to live with common people

[Kutjara]

20. Its a cover version of a song by...

...an English band called Pulp. The lead singer, Jarvis Cocker was the guy who mooned Michael Jackson during the live UK TV performance of one of Jacko's more overblown anthems a few years back.

[tigereye]

25. yeah, I did know it was a cover

but a strange and cool one.

[Kutjara]

39. When I first heard the Shatner version on the radio...

...I nearly drove my car off the road, I was laughing so hard. I remember the original version and it took me a few seconds to realize what he was 'singing.' I agree, it is a very strange but oddly cool rendition. Though not perhaps as strange as Australian digeridoo-virtuoso Rolf Harris's version of "Stairway to Heaven."

[sakabatou]

21. "Heavy Metal Queen" aka "LIVE in Baghdad"

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Probably this one

"Something For the Girl With Everything" (Ron Mael) Sparks, "Propaganda" (1974)



Something for the girl with everything

See, the writing's on the wall
You bought the girl a wall
Complete with matching ball-point pen
You can breathe another day
Secure in knowing she won't break you (yet)

Something for the girl with everything

Have another sweet my dear
Don't try to talk my dear
Your tiny little mouth is full
Here's a flavour you ain't tried
You shouldn't try to talk, your mouth is full

Something for the girl with everything

Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Bearing gifts to aid amnesia
She knows everything
She knows everything
She knew you way back when you weren't yourself

Something for the girl with everything

Here's a really pretty car
I hope it takes you far
I hope it takes you fast and far
Wow, the engine's really loud
Nobody's gonna hear a thing you say

Something for the girl with everything

Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Where should they leave these imported gimmicks
Leave them anywhere
Anywhere
Make sure that there's a clear path to the door

Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Something for the girl with everything
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here
Three wise men are here

Here's a partridge in a tree
A gardener for the tree
Complete with ornithologist
Careful, careful with that crate
You wouldn't want to dent Sinatra, no

Something for the girl who has got everything
Yes, everything

Hey, come out and say hello
Before our friends all go
But say no more than just hello
Ah, the little girl is shy
You see of late she's been quite speechless, very speechless
She's got everything

[REP]

23. Pretty Much Any Kristin Hersh/Throwing Muses Song

You kinds get what she's saying, but ... In one an interview, she said she's pretty sure she was crazy during most fo the time TM was together. Here's a sample:

And a She-Wolf After the War

so it's cowboys in flying colors riding home

leave my tears alone it's too funny

it's me and she spilling jewels and collarbones gray
(waste of time now I don't want cold, lonely)

ride by side down the road
and a she-wolf (my face one more square)
don't be afraid, it's my road once more alone

I can see them riding over the hills
cowboy hats are back in, this is the future, after the war

and I don't eat anymore, this is your future

it's me and she spilling jewels and collarbones gray
(Frank Lloyd Wright, try to sleep under a dome under the sky)

side by side down the road
it's my road, once more alone

as a warm gun
thanking her (she makes me dangerous)
blood on our teeth

[Guava Jelly]

24. That one pops up on my ipod a lot

26. recently Wookie Wookie

30. "How do you Do" by Mouth and McNeil

Even more bizarre than the Blue Swede "Oogah Chaka" version of "Hooked on a Feelin'" or Meri Wilson's "Telephone Man" - it sounds like a Dutch Donna Fargo duetting with a Dutch Muppet.

[benny05]

51. That's about the truth...

32. "Paralyzed" by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy

It was actually heard on AM radio, back in the day.

Listen to a sample here: www.stardustcowboy.com/

[VOX]

34. Captain's Beefheart's "Floppy Boot Stomp"....

The floppy boot stomped down into the ground
The farmer screamed 'n blew the sky off the mountains
Eye sockets looked down on the chestbone mountains
'n the sun dropped down, 'n the moon ran off,
His heels 'n elbows pale as chalk
'n all the comets collided 'n blew t' dust
For fear they'd be seen.
'n the sky turned white in the middle of the night
'n the sky turned white in the middle of the night
'n the big floppy boot stomped down into the ground
'n the red violin took the bow
to do the hoodoo hoe-down
'n the red violin took the bow
for to do the hoodoo hoe-down
The farmer jumped in ah circle 'n flung his chalk right down
Do-si-do the devil sho' showed 'n he broke of his horns
'n fiddled him down the road
through the fork
'n the farmer's floppy boot stomped down
Red tail squirmin' and the hot leg kicked
'n the fire leaped 'n licked
And when the boot came up, the fire went out
And hell was just an ice cube melting off on the ground.
And the bold caught down for to do the hoodoo hoedown
And the bold caught down for to do the hoodoo, the devil hoedown
To the fork, huddlin’ in a hollow, standin’ at the crossroads
With that bunged-up bandaged broken bum that fell in the wrong circle
He had a sole red tail – once went red, now was pale
Fe Fi Fo Fum he was summoned up from hell
Booted down a spell
By a square-dancin’ farmer
By a square-dancin’ farmer, well
That old bum was sticking out his thumb
When the farmer drew up, said
"Listen son", and the horse compared his hooves.
"If you fall into my circle again I’ll tan your red hide
And dance you on your tail, and pitch you from now to now
Pitch you from now to now."
And the hotlick kicked, and the fire leaped an’ licked
And the hotlick kicked and the fire just leaped an’ licked
And the hotlick kickin’ an’ the fire jus’ leapin’ an’ lickin’
And the fire leaped and licked.

35. "Don't Worry" by Yoko Ono

that one always left me wondering (not to mention rubbing my ears to stop the pain).

[derby378]

36. Honey, you should see my Negativland collection

[TOhioLiberal]

37. Masochism Tango...

...by Tom Lehrer. (from Dr. Demento)
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say its me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand. ecch!
Its here that I must be.
My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
Thats why Im in such exquisite agony.

My soul is on fire,
Its aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire
When we tango.

You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Evry time I hear drums.
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.

Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the masochism tango.

Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say well never part.
I know too well
Im underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, its my heart.
Excuse me!

Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that youre mine,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

[ghostsofgiants]

40. "Hello Dad, I'm In Jail" by Was (Not Was) always weirded me out.

I can't find the video though, which saddens me.

[tallahasseedem]

41. "Sheep Go to Heaven" by Cake

I'm not feeling alright today,
I'm not feeling that great,
I'm not catching on fire today,
Love has started to fade,

I'm not going to smile today,
I'm not gonna laugh,
You're out living it up today,
I've got dues to pay,

When the grave digger puts on the foreceps,
The stonemason does all the work,
The barber can give you a haircut,
The carpenter can take you out to lunch,

Now, I just want to play on my panpipes,
I just want to drink me some wine,
As soon as you're born, you start dying,
So you might as well have a good time,

Sheep go to Heaven,
Goats go to Hell,
Sheep go to Heaven,
Goats go to Hell,

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip,
I don't wanna feel the emptyness,
Old marquees with stupid band names,
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip,

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip,
I don't wanna feel the emptyness,
Old marquees with stupid band names,
I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip,

The grave digger puts on the foreceps,
The stonemason does all the work,
The barber can give you a haircut,
The carpenter can take you out to lunch,

Now, I just want to play on my panpipes,
I just want to drink me some wine,
As soon as you're born, you start dying,
So you might as well have a good time,

Sheep go to Heaven,
Goats go to Hell,
Sheep go to Heaven,
Goats go to Hell,

Sheep go to Heaven,
Goats go to Hell...

42. Probably "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Haa" which

was a novelty song back in the 60's by somebody called Napoleon XIV.

[ironflange]

48. I've got that one beat

The flip side is even worse: "Aah Ah Yawa Em Ekat Ot Gnimoc Er'yeht"

He had run out of material. I would have loved to hear more from Mr. XIV.

49. Just about anything by Laurie Anderson

O Superman

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.
O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.
Hi. I'm not home right now. But if you want to leave a
message, just start talking at the sound of the tone.
Hello? This is your Mother. Are you there? Are you
coming home?
Hello? Is anybody home? Well, you don't know me,
but I know you.
And I've got a message to give to you.
Here come the planes.
So you better get ready. Ready to go. You can come
as you are, but pay as you go. Pay as you go.

And I said: OK. Who is this really? And the voice said:
This is the hand, the hand that takes. This is the
hand, the hand that takes.
This is the hand, the hand that takes.
Here come the planes.
They're American planes. Made in America.
Smoking or non-smoking?
And the voice said: Neither snow nor rain nor gloom
of night shall stay these couriers from the swift
completion of their appointed rounds.

'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justive is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me,
Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms.
In your arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.

I saw my ex again last night mama
She was at the dance at Miller's store
She was with that Jackie White mama
I killed them both
And they're buried under Jacob's sycamore

You think I'm psycho don't you mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
You better let 'em lock me up

Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup mama
As I might squeeze him too tight
I'm havin' crazy dreams again mama
So let me tell you 'bout last night
I woke up in Johnny's room mama
Standing right there by his bed
With my hands around his throat mama
Wishing both of us were dead

You think I'm psycho don't you mama
I just killed Johnny's pup
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
You'd better let 'em lock me up

Oh you recall that little girl mama
I believe her name was Betty Clark
Oh don't tell me that she's dead mama
'Cause I just saw her in the park
We were sitting on a bench mama
Thinking of a game to play
Seems I was holding a wrench mama
Then my mind just walked away

You think I'm psycho don't you mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
Mama why don't you get up?

53. "Help I'm a Rock" by Zappa/Mothers

Help Im a rock, help Im a rock, help Im a rock!
Ahahahahahahaaa
Help Im a rock, help Im a rock, help Im a rock!
Somebody, please, please!
Help Im a rock, help Im a rock...
Wow man, its a drag being a rock
Help Im a rock...
I wish I was anything but a rock
Heck, Id even like to be a policeman
Hey, you know what, you know maybe if I practised, you know
Maybe if I passed my driving test
I could get a gig drivin that bus and pick some freaks up
In front of ben franks, right!

Help Im a cop, help Im a cop, help Im a cop!
(help Im a rock...), help Im a cop, help Im a cop!
Its a drag being a cop, I think Id rather be the mayor
Always wondered what I was gonna be when I grew up, you know
Always wondered whether or not, whether or not I could make it,
You know, in society, because,
You know, its a drag when youre rejected
So I tore the cover off a book of matches and I sent in
And I got this letter back that said, uhu, aha

54. Coil: "Things Happen"

I actually thought this was cool in high school:

Kill the creator! Send them the bomb!
Kill the creator! Send them the bomb!

Daddy, do you have a cigarette for me? I think
Maybe it's getting late, maybe time is running out
You know, I knew somebody once, rifled through his drawers
I wasn't that suspicious but you know, these things they happen
But, muñeca, do you have a towel?
See those people gather round
Baby do you have a light?
What's it like in Ohio... baby?

What d'you want to call me, muñeca?
Honey, do you like my dress?
You know, I think the colour pink suits my complexion
Or is it a reflection of the sky outside, you know
Why are those people crowding around?
You know I think your time is running out
What was your name, anyway?
No lipstick on his collar, but maybe it was blood
I don't know to this day, dear
Do you have another, uh...
Did you light that cigarette for me?
Oh, did you leave that on the side?
Do you have another cigarette for me? You know, uh,
Well, I had somebody once, ah,
You know, we used to cook a lot
It was a...
Do you like chillis in Ohio?
Muñeca, yo te quiero
Yo te quiero Ohio
Anyway... muy bonito
Where did I leave my matches?
I thought they were on the table there
By the way, did you, uh...?
Do you have some, uh, cash for me
Because you know I have to, uh, get a cab somewhere, after here
You know, I don't want to push you, but, uh,
You know, I've got to go some place
There's something burning in the kitchen
Did I put the pepper in?
I don't... uh... oh, dear
You know you have to watch yourself, don't you?
Why are those people crowding round me in the street
It must be like that for you a little bit, huh?
It's a bit of a commotion
Nice meeting you
I have no regrets, but I did feel a little bad, you know?
It's kind of like, you know what it's like
