I suppose this thread wouldn't be complete without a tip o' the hat to John Lennon:

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

They don't write 'em like that anymore.

[SupaNova]

It needs a little McCartney too:

You say yes, I say no
You say stop, I say go, go, go
Oh no

You say goodbye and I say hello, hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello, hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

I say high, you say low
You say why and I say I don't know
Oh no

[Pre-Ex-Girlfriend]

Clay Aiken was the first intermission entertainment at the NHL All Star Game, and I was reminded of these lyrics:

"If I was invisible, then I could just watch you in your room."

Eeek.

I'm glad someone else mentioned the ridiculousness of grunge lyrics. Unless I'm missing some deeper meaning, Beck has some pretty ridiculous rhymes:

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control

and so on...

[Ethan.Bassist.]

somethin somethin somethin (I don't know the words to the verses)

Chorus:

I whip my hair back and forth
I whip my hair back and forth

Kayne West - "Two Words"

"I live by two words: '#$@* you, pay me!'"

Yo Kayne, Imma let you finish, but dim's four words, not two.

Beat me to it man... that song is ridiculous. I mean the references to "haters"??? she is 9 years old!!!!

Also as much as I love 6ft 7ft and how brilliant some of the lines are... some of the lines make NO SENSE.

"you ****** just gelatin, peanuts to an elephant"

Anyway, I think this line in Train's "Soul Sister" is re-dic-u-luss:

"My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest."

What, did you need a two syllable word to fill in that line and couldn't come up with anything better than "untrimmed"? Eww.

OBVIOUSLY, in his better moments, he keeps his chest hair trimmed, but he's so affected by her that he's forgotten to trim it.

If I'm right, he's drawing the woman's attention to Madonna and the song and video for "Like a Virgin," and then saying "In this context, I'm saying that you affect me the way Madonna affects her subject in the song, 'Like a Virgin.'" So she's Madonna, he's the man, but (and here's the ironic part), whereas Madonna's singing about how the man affects HER, in reality she's singing the song to create a specific effect on the LISTENER, and that is how the soul sister affects what'shisname.

That effect is something like this: Her manner intoxicates him, and her infatuation with him drives him even further into fits of passion, creating a sort of spiral of wonder and amazement.

It's possible he didn't mean anything by it, though.

My personal most ridiculous hails from the BEPs

"Beats so big, I'm stepping on leprechauns"

I am not quite sure why large beats would make you tread on the mythological bankers of the underworld.
