Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?
Still doesn’t make a lot of sense.
The album track is, in fact, titled “I’ve Seen All Good People;” it consists of two sections: “Your Move” and “All Good People.” However, you’re not incorrect, as the first section of the song was released as a single, titled “Your Move.”
And, yeah, it has a bunch of chess allusions, but that doesn’t make it less of a word salad. 
Dylan’s Subterranian Homesick Blues
Took 24 posts to mention Blinded by the Light?
Huh? It’s clearly a song about wrapping up douches.
And it took even longer than 24 posts for anyone to mention America.
I guess the songs make some loose sense in an evocative sort of way, but sure as heck not from any literal sense of the lyrics.
Hah, I read this far just to get my answer taken on the last post. Also amazed it took that long.
Alligator lizards in the air, Tropic of Sir Gallahad, rocks and birds and trees and things, yadda yadda. Sounds pretty, though.
Which one? Because the Simon and Garfunkle one makes sense,
And anus curly-whirly. Don’t forget that!
I was writing as a generality. I don’t immediately recognize the one you’ve mentioned, although I probably should.
I’m getting now that you meant America the band, not America the song.
“The heat was hot” is in a bit different league than “Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike/they’ve all come to look for America”.
Thought Yes did an interesting cover of America. We have thread crossover!
eta, I love America, I love Horse With No Name, Ventura Highway, even their alligator lizards and Sir Gallahad. And you won’t change my mind. So there.
Surfin’ Bird
I clicked this thread with a contribution in mind and quickly discovered that it’s not quite the direction everyone else was going, but I’ll post it anyway.
From the olden days of the internet when I was but a wee babe, The Llama Song
Llama llama cheesecake llama,
Tablet brick potato llama,
Llama llama mushroom llama,
Llama llama duck.
I was once a treehouse,
I lived in a cake,
But I never saw the way
The orange slayed the rake…
My dog’s favorite toy is a large stuffed llama, so even though I hadn’t though of that song in years, it now gets stuck in my head all the time.
Way back in the 70s, someone on my local radio station had a fake commercial. Like a K-tel record, it featured “all the hits”. It included:
Surfin’ Bird, by the Trashmen
Surfin’ Trash, by the Birdmen
and
Trashin’ Bird, by the Surfmen
And each was illustrated with the same 2 second music clip.
I swear I thought this song was made up for Family Guy.
Chicken Monkey Duck. It’s funky!
Good evening and welcome to Slaggers…
Just like with Beck, I could post tons of nonsense Pavement songs, but “Stereo” will do:
Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk
The infrastructure rots
And the owners hate the jocks
With their agents and their dates
If the signatures are checked
You’ll just have to wait
And we’re counting up the instants that we save
Tired nation so depraved
From the cheap seats see us
Wave to the camera
It took a giant ramrod
To raze the demon settlement
But high-ho silver, ride
High-ho silver, ride
Take another ride to see me home
Listen to me! I’m on the stereo stereo
Oh my baby baby baby baby babe
Gave me malaria hysteria
(and it only gets weirder)
This is an easy one for me. Wire’s “Kidney Bingos”
A sample:
Verse
Natural splits sunburn jets pride marks smart bets
Strikers luck pitch backs heap tips pit slacks
Dressed pints demon shrinks bread drunk dead drinks
Stretch clubs models box draw skin black shocks
Chorus
Money spines paper lung kidney bingos organ fun
Money spines paper lung kidney bingos organ fun
It’s a beautifully addicting song, with a very wistful – at least to me – 80s vibe to it. I can’t help but feel emotional and reflective hearing it. Anyhow, Wire are a band that’s been around since the 70s and are probably best known for their punk and post-punk work (their first three albums). On this album, A Bell is a Cup Until It Is Struck, they take on a more mid-80s New Wave vibe. I’ve never read if Wire had anything to say about this song, but my interpretation is it’s perhaps poking fun at the vapid lyrics of pop songs; or perhaps it’s just to show how the music can take you on an emotional journey, no matter the silliness of the lyrics? Who knows. They’re an arty bunch, so I’m assuming it’s all and none of these. But enjoy!
Hard to beat Prisencolinensinainciusol:
Uis de seim cius nau op de seim
Ol uait men in de colobos dai
Trrr ciak is e maind beghin de col
Bebi stei ye push yo oh
That song makes sense when you know the history of The Revelaires and R.E.M.'s stalled recording session.
Now, about that moral kiosk…
