Olivia Newton-John’s Physical
“Let me hear your body talk!” hee hee
Elton John’s Philadelphia Freedom
“The whippoorwill of freedom zapped me/ right between the eyes” snicker
Scandal’s Shootin’ At the Walls of Heartache (or whatever that song is called)
“Feeding on your hungry eyes” ewww
Are there any song lyrics that just make you giggle when you’re not supposed to? 
U2’s most recent hit is a nice, sorta treacly thing called “City of Blinding Lights.” In the song, Bono asks “What happened to the beauty inside of me,” which is sort of funny by itself. But he doesn’t pronounce “of” clearly, so it sounds like he’s saying “What happened to the beauty in sodomy?”
Don’t let the son go down on me.
There’s an Irish folk song about Belfast called “The Town I Loved so Well.” It’s SUPPOSED to be touching, moving, heartbreaking. But there’s a line that goes, “There was music there in the Derry air.”
All I can do when I hear that line is give a Beavis & Butthead laugh. “Music in the derriere. Huh huh. Like musical farts. Huh huh!”
Another one from this song, which after further thought I believe is called The Warrior: “Your eyes touch me physically”. I imagine the girl frantically brushing eyeball slime off her chest.
lissener, that was really, really, really evil. I love it.
The one that I can’t hear without giggling is the song Black and White by Sarah McLachlan. There’s a line that says something about “the whole of my undoing”. Consciously, I know that’s what she’s saying, but the evil part of my brain insists that the line should be “the hole in my underwear.”
My so-called friends insist that Nickelback’s “Photograph” is a stirring song about nostalgia for days gone by, and upon casual perusal of the lyrics, this appears to be the intent. Ergo, I try valiantly to listen to the thing when it comes on the radio during my daily commute. However, I’ve never been able to listen to more than about ten seconds of it, because the opening lines go as follows:
Whereupon I almost swerve into the carpool lane from laughing so hard. The rest of the song looks as though it might contain further hilarity with lines like these:
However, as I can never manage to get past the very beginning of the song, I daresay that the world will never know the true depths of humor that can be found in Nickelback’s “Photograph.”
I know it’s an oldie from the '60’s, but a lot of oldsters like me are sure to remember it.
MacArthur Park, written by Jimmy Webb and sung by Richard Harris:
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
'Cuz it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Look, I know this is supposed to be a metaphor for a failed romantic relationship, but when I think of someone feeling such intensity about a damn cake, fer cryin’ out loud, and singing about it with such over-orchestrated, operatic grandiosity–I can’t help it. I crack up each and every time. Donna Summers’ disco version isn’t any improvement.
According to an informal poll conducted by humorist Dave Barry, this is one of the most hated songs of all time.
The line in Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More” when he sings “Stop walking down my street.” When I was about four or five there was a kid who lived up the street who was always saying that his dad owned the street and that we had to have his permission to play in it. Of course we just laughed at him and kept playing, but that’s what I think of when I hear that line, and I start laughing again.
I’m going to argue that this one is unintentionally funny. My reason is this: the line is from a rap song and rappers ALWAYS take themselves too seriously.
Nelly has a new song out called “Grillz” which discusses how much the guys rule for having all kinds of crap in their teeth. The following line makes me laugh even more than “Call us Aaron Burr ‘cuz we be droppin’ Hamiltons” because I’m pretty sure this guy was actually serious:
