The Bewlay Brothers - David Bowie
Awesome song and you could debate forever about what it's about; drugs?, schizophrenia?, homosexuality?
Or as the man himself once said, " I wrote this for the Americans, they always like to read things into things", even though the lyrics "make absolutely no sense"0 -

Macy Gray - I try.
For a long time i thought she said.
Although i try to hide it its clear
i wear goggles when you are not near -
rather than my world crumbles when you are not here.1 -
My brother knows Karl Marx,
He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park,
He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?'
'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.'
Took it straight down to meet the anarchist's party.
I met a groovy guy, he was arty farty,
He said 'I know a little latin man a cus man a kai'
I said 'I don't know what it means' he said 'neither do I'
Eat natural foods, bathe twice daily,
Fill your nostrils up with gravy.
Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee.

It does.MrOneLung said:Queen - one vision.

Apparently, Mercury agonised over whether he would get away with leaving it in, having sung it all the way through the recording process. I think other parts of the song were replaced by items from a Chinese takeaway menu, and fried chicken was the only bit that was left in.0 -
Didn't Queen feature prominently in the Top 5 Worst bands thread? I wonder why?EpsomAddick said:

Most disliked bands, wasn't it? Not quite the same as worst bands.
Why would one joke line make them a bad band?0 -

And, it wouldn't but their cobblers music does.1 -
"Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to waker her."AFKABartram said:More Michael Stipe with his 'Call me Cheryl Baker' in Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
Bassist Mike Mills once said; "the song is half about somebody trying to get in touch with someone so he can go sleep on the other guy's floor. The other half... you're on your own."
Also, Stipe audibly laughs at his own inability to correctly pronounce Dr Seuss during the song, as requested by Mills.0 -

In 'Sidewinder' re: that line about Dr Seuss; for ages I thought he said "a paedophile Dr Seuss". As the rest of it is hard to understand too I thought it must be a song with very dark undertones!JiMMy 85 said:

That crap song Loveshack by the B-52's features the following lines.

Tin roof. Rusty.

I may have already posted this, but in The Who's So Sad About Us, for years I thought Daltrey was singing, 'A pot of cheese means nothing, when the damage is done.'0

My friend actually used to sing Sea Lions on the shirt.7

In Heroes, I always thought Bowie was singing, 'I, I wish you could swing, like the dolphins, like dolphins can swing.' Which I think makes for a more interesting lyric, anyway.0
