Silly Subject Matter For Songs

Here's some:

THE BEATLES - Yellow Submarine (Ringo was perfect for this song)

THE BEATLES - Octopus' Garden (see above, cept Ringo actually wrote this one)

THE FLAMING LIPS - This Here Giraffe (it's about a laughing giraffe)

JOHN MARTYN - Easy Blues (he's singing about jelly-rolls fer chrissakes! Though the song ends with a nice synth solo)

Forums: The Bar,

THE MUTTON BIRDS - Giant Friend

Do I even need to mention Mr. Waits, SoldierBoy? *wink*

Yeah, well... I guess Eyeball Kid and Cemetery Polka have rather "silly" subject matter. The former is about a living eyeball ("He's just an itty bitty thing, he's just a little guy/But women go crazy for the big blue eye), and the latter concerns the politics of rather kooky family. There's probably quite a few more.

"...only a Chocolate Jesus can satisfy my soul..."

They Might Be Giants...
* Santa's Beard
* Shoehorn with Teeth
* Someone Keeps Moving My Chair

Then there's the more recent Table Top Joe, the tale of a pianist born without a body.

Come to think of it now, Waits' "freak" songs are much to poignant to be considered "silly".

"Flying lambs and apple wizards"

You know who it is.

ducksolo - "sand paper grrl"

Like the new Avril Lavigne song

'Unused Potatoes' by betchadupa. It's an awesome song, but pretty random lyrics "Unused potatoes/trapped in shoes for ages/I'll never forget it" see wat i mean?

Another song with really random lyrics is 'Magic Medicine' off incubus's SCIENCE album:

"On this page you see a little girl giggling at a hippopotamus.
I wonder why?
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t say things that hurt others, said pussycat"etc

i hav to say i don't know wtf theyre on about, but again, i like the song.

and ok theres lotsa songs that hav really silly lyrics when you listen to them

two words: detachable penis.

any limp bizkit song. Do i have to go into detail? "Nookie" with lame lyrics such as "I did it all for the nookie" - hmmm really deep, not. And then theres "Rollin" (Keep rollin rollin rollin) need i go on? I don't think so...

And I think we all know how we all feel about our "complicated" Avril Lavigne and her "Sk8ter boi". Awful lyrics that are mere minions to Fred Durst's work on Limp Bizkit albums. Her new song is a tryhard attempt at another love song.

Avril's lyrics aren't silly. They're just plain crappy! and lame! and stupid! I could go on for days...

and also "Somethings Wrong" - K's Choice.

"maynards dick" by tool

'hello my trecherous friends' by okgo. its about spiders!

also heard a song on m2 last nite about banana chips. random as. cant rememberwho sung it

"Banana Chips" is by Shonen Knife, a female Japanese punk trio with a flair for "silly". They also have a song about the joys of eating "fresh fruit and vegetables" ("make you feel so freeeeee" I think it went). They were here for one of the previous Big Day Outs.

Lump - Presidents of the USA. (about a fat women)

//Presidents of the USA

I remember they were once flavour of the month then they were sucked dry, but goodness they were awful

//Presidents of the usa

i sung the song 'Peaches' when i jumped out of an airoplane......... it just seemed fitting

ah hahhahahahahhahah hahhah hahahhahahhah ahhhhahahhahaha
