Steve Miller strikes again
Abra Abracadabra
Wanna reach out and grabya
Yikes!
“Honey”, words & music by Bobby Russel:
She hugged your neck?!
Moral to this glurge: if you find your spouse cryin’ needlessly, have that person checked for clinical depression.
“The Joker” by Steve Miller uses the same word to rhyme not once but twice- “love” in the first stanza, “time” in the second. Add to that the theft of the pompitooz 
, peaches, tree, and lovey-dovey lines, and you have a pretty bad set of lyrics.
And although I like the song and love the group, CSN’s “Teach Your Children” has some pretty muddled lyrics- you get the gist of it, but something about the phrasing of the lyrics makes them sound weird.
Don’t ask, if you’re still around, do you know if there is a site where you can hear “Mr. Turnkey”? I’ve heard of the song for years, but never actually heard it and would love to.
For me, “Head Games” by Foreigner is the winner of the main event.
Head games, its you and me baby
Head games, and I cant take it anymore
Head games, I dont wanna play the…
Head games
Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do you do it baby?
Head games
Sheesh…They sound too stupid to be clever enough to play…HEAD GAMES
So happy together,
How is the weather?
- Happy Together, The Turtles
How is the weather?!! WTF?
The album cover had an odd double meaning of head- a woman standing in a mens public bathroom. And clutching the wall whilst her ass appears to be in a urinal. Ah, the misogyny of the 70’s- at least it wasn’t The Scorpion’s infamous Virgin Killer though.
Did you notice that she was wiping her phone number off the wall of the stall? That’s what she was doing in there. And the expression on her face conveys either that she is terrified of someone walking in, or someone just has.
Generally speaking, song lyrics aren’t exactly poetry – they’re just song lyrics. Some song lyrics we thought were fraught with meaning back in the day now just seem inane and stupid. Example: “Stop, now, what’s that sound / Everybody look what’s goin’ down.” :dubious:
Actually, no- the pic I just pulled up was very small, and the only part I remembered when it came out was the urinals. Good info though 
I heard this said often as I was growing up in the South–while you may find it a stupid phrase, it’s not an unusual one!

Further on the subject of the cover of “Head Games,” that girl may have already had the following happen to her:
“Wow, grandma…you were a babe!!!”
I submit Slade’s Run Runaway…
I like black and white
Dream in black in white
You like black and white
Run runaway
See chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run runaway
If you’re in the swing
Mud in everything
If you’re in the swing
Run runaway
I believe Rolling Stone had (has?) a worst lyric award inspired by
she put me through some changes, Lord,
sorta like a Waring blender
given to songs with truly contorted lyrics, with which ‘Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me’ has in abundance.
He tells you what it means–“Pressure!” 
Really, I see in these lines a new parent who is a former psychology major and either overemployed or unable to find employment.
“Cherry Pie” by Warrant
Swingin’ in there
Cause she wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater
The Cherry Pie lyrics speak for themselves.
Zombie, by the Cranberries
Si
This is the first time I read a zombie thread unawares and ran into my own posts! What a jaw-dropper!
Oh, and to make a on-topic contribution before crying “braaaaains!”
