But then Eric Clapton said he shot the sheriff, so if Bob Marley had a good lawyer he could get the charges dropped.
Oldie tune by Creedance Clearwater Revival had a line in it that went "there's a bad moon on the rise" Of course it got turned into "there's a bathroom on the right"
There's this song called, ironically enough, "An English Teacher" and it contains the lyrics, "You were going to college and get ahead."
THAT DOESN'T WORK. I realize it parses out as "You were to going to college and you were going to get ahead," but...no! It's not the same type of "going" unless the person in question was going to visit a village called "Get Ahead" or something. It totally works in the rhythm of the song to say, "You were going to college to get ahead." WHY DIDN'T THEY SAY THAT???
Well I guess they didn't say it the way you wanted it said, janet, coz they were trying to drive you mad. And hey I think they succeeded a wee little bit.
If "Who Are You" by The Who was sung by Scooby-Do it would go something like this ....
"Valkyries of Destruction weave a lullabye for rebirth."
I love that line... I always picture Valkyrie Profile and Lenneth yelling... "It shall be engraved upon your soul."
A valkyrie is so powerful that it becomes a lead for destruction that is so complete that there is no possiblity of resurection or a second time around. She obliterates their soul....
Sometimes... You have to wonder about song writers.

I wheeled around because i Didnt hear what you had said And saw you dancing with elihu Up on leemors bed
But for the longest time, I thought (and still do) he said "dancing with a legume..." which always maade me wonder what kind of parties these guys went to.
The song that bugs me the most... is Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas. The beat is nice, but those are some of the most meaningless lyrics ever. Not to mention the girl sounds like a male in that song XP
Sample lyrics that bug me: "Them chickens jackin' my style" - Why in the hell are they singing about chickens? "Beats so big I'm steppin' on leprechauns" - Leprechauns? I'm not even goign to ask...

Wow, now thats a BEP song I've not heard... bizzaro.
At any rate, when I was younger, so much younger than today.... (thank you J/P/G/R)
When I was a wee lad and the song "Little Red Corvette" by Prince came out, I had no clue at all what the song was about and when he got to the line about having "a pocket full of horses" I thought maybe she had "My Little Pony" dolls or something.
Yes kitten morris, those black eyed peas HAVE GOT TO GO !! Ya, the tune/beat on their 'popular' songs are catchy but the lyrics, geesh they drive me crazy too.
And while I'm complaining about bands I can't stand. I would really really like Coldplay to move to another planet, perhaps Jupiter. All their songs sound the same and they put me in a coma.
Master loves Coldplay, so I'm going to have to put up with it. Their songs make absolutely no sense to me and I don't like the beat, it's annoying. I know tons of people just love Viva La Vida, but that is the song I have the most in this world... it's almost as bad as scat (the music type, not poo X3)
