WHAT'S THE SILLIEST SONG YOU EVER HEARD?


Let's have some fun!!! I personally think the song by Randy Newman called "Short People" is the silliest one I ever heard. It can also offend some people. What song do you feel is the silliest? Please provide some lyrics to it. Here are some lyrics from "Short People":

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
`Round here

Hi Elaine: Darn it, MrsJoe picked my song Purple People Eaters.

I remember an interview years ago with the guy who wrote McArthur Park. He said he wrote it on a bet with someone that he could write the most meaningless weird lyrics and people would love the song anyway.

    A stoned Bob Dylan came up with this little ditty:

    Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
    WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN

    Well, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
    Yes, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
    Well, you must tell me, baby
    How your head feels under somethin’ like that
    Under your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

    Well, you look so pretty in it
    Honey, can I jump on it sometime?
    Yes, I just wanna see
    If it’s really that expensive kind
    You know it balances on your head
    Just like a mattress balances
    On a bottle of wine
    Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

    Well, if you wanna see the sun rise
    Honey, I know where
    We’ll go out and see it sometime
    We’ll both just sit there and stare
    Me with my belt
    Wrapped around my head
    And you just sittin’ there
    In your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

    Well, I asked the doctor if I could see you
    It’s bad for your health, he said
    Yes, I disobeyed his orders
    I came to see you
    But I found him there instead
    You know, I don’t mind him cheatin’ on me
    But I sure wish he’d take that off his head
    Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

    Well, I see you got a new boyfriend
    You know, I never seen him before
    Well, I saw him
    Makin’ love to you
    You forgot to close the garage door
    You might think he loves you for your money
    But I know what he really loves you for
    It’s your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

That song is very amusing. Thanks for the laugh, Fossil.

It sure is.

One of the dumbest ones that immediately comes to mind is The Thing.

Some of the lyrics stuck with me for over 50 years, but i couldn't remember the title.

The words that I remembered were 'Get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don't come back no more'.

Took a bit of googling to come up with it.

I had asked for some lyrics to be included with your comment, _JKH54. I googled it myself since you wouldn't. Here it is:

"Homegrown Tomatoes"

Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
Than bacon & lettuce & homegrown tomatoes
Up in the mornin' out in the garden

Get you a ripe one don't get a hard one
Plant 'em in the spring eat 'em in the summer
All winter with out 'em's a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'
Everytime I go out & pick me a big one

Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love & homegrown tomatoes

You can go out to eat & that's for sure
But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew
You can make your very own tomato juice
Eat 'em with egss, eat 'em with gravy
Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
Put 'em on the site put 'em in the middle
Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle

If I's to change this life I lead
I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed
'Cause I know what this country needs
Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes
