Do us all a favor, and check your Cheerios next time to see if someone’s pissed in them before taking a bite.
If you look back at my post, I never mentioned Paul, as that story had been explained. However, I was citing additional information about the “Navy/Davey” rhyme.
More umlaut abuse…
On the way to work, I’m treated to Blue Oyster Cult’s “Burnin’ for You”. Wanted to cite it, but I just can’t choose, so see for yourself the song in all its glory.
Was there ever a worse potpourri of cliches and nonsense? I’m dizzy! Somebody get me a ladder!
Btw, I thought the line was “time to play b-sides”. And does anybody know if “freezing their eyes” is correct?
What part of “The characters in the song are based on real people Joel encountered working at The Executive Room” didn’t cover Davey?
You know, it’s always been my assertion that comic book heroes are given sidekicks so that they can explain plot developments to the slower readers.
I was merely providing additionaly anecdotal evidence in regards to the “Davey/Navy” thing. This seems to have eluded you. I would suggest that, in the future, YOU try to keep up. Or ask your resident superhero to explain things to you.
Ok, fellas, take it outside or you’re gonna get time out. 
i think i just won… “i would have liked to have known you, but i was just a kid;
your candle burned out…” etc.

I nominate the eponymous song by Motorhead (man, what is it with umlauts and bad lyrics?)
Fourth day, five day marathon
We’re moving like a parallelogram
OK, I kind of get it in the context of the song, but still shockingly bad. Wait a minute … Oh My God!!! *That’s supposed to @#%^^ RHYME!!! I can take tortured metaphors and forced rhymes, but how in the name of all that’s holy do you squeeze both into ten words?
I always thought the worst line in that song was:
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
What do you mean?? That is the meaning of life!
There’s a story that says Paul’s father wanted him to change it to, “She loves you, yes, yes, yes”, so it would sound all proper like.
Grace was saying that your ‘friends’ sometimes may not be there to give you the moral support, nor the intimacy, when you need it.
You know that I would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
if you want to
turn me onto
anything you really want to
turn me onto
your love
sweet love
if the night-time
is the right time
anytime of yours is my time
we can find time
for love
sweet love

The Silmarils. “Don’t Call Me Run Fast”. Granted, these guys aren’t English… but why try if you can’t speak it?
Examples:
“Don’t call me just say, you wanna suck me away”
“Don’t call me run fast…Just call me… MR BROOKLYN”.
This guy from the suburbs south of Paris want us to call him “MR BROOKLYN”. Okayyyy.
The bolded line is the one that gets me–I know it’s supposed to say that they’re each other’s one and only, but what it ends up saying is “You’re the only one for me” TWICE. It SHOULD say, "the only one for me is you, and (for) you is me.
I’ll see your “Hey Jude” and raise you,
“Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey hey goodbye…”
I’ve seen a couple people mention this here, so I’d just like to point out that in the context of this line is as follows:
“But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
makes you give in your heart,
say live and let die.”
Changing ‘if’ to ‘in’ wouldn’t make any sense at all.
Oh, this thread was lots of fun. The top of my list (yes, I was keeping a list until this thread made it unmanageable) is Lita Ford’s Kiss Me Deadly:
Ugh. The rhyme, the content, using “Uh, huh” as a line, all of it.
I think Prince learned a new word one day, wrote a song about it, and sold it to the Bangles:
It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
Cuz that’s my fun day
My ‘I don’t have to run day’
Gaaahhhhh!
Straight from the '80s (The FIXX):
“*The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
You’ve got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
you see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet, why don’t they… *”
Pull out your party piece? YOUR PARTY PIECE?!?! If it wasn’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college!!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
::wildly runs away covering ears::
And then there’s
She came in through the bathroom window
protected by her silver spoon
and now she sucks her thumb and wonders
by the banks of her own lagoon
Goofy lyrics? you bet.
Some of the absolute best rock and roll ever? No question.
