"Come Together" by the Beatles.

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

I always wondered what lyrics were discarded as being too off the wall.

I almost hate to even mention these songs. Both are from the album The Beach Boys Love You (1977), and were written by Brian Wilson, quite possibly in his weakest frame of mind. That aside, they're still pretty dumb.

Good or bad? I can't decide.

This is fun.

IMHO, subject matter is everything when lyrics are written, and songs that don't have much to say aren't worth listening to unless the lyrics are set to a real catchy tune. I think Jay Ferguson's 'Thunder Island' has inane lyrics, yet the tune is awesome.

By the way, does anyone know who does the song 'Gimme A Redneck Girl'? Now there's a song with DUMB lyrics!

I am the egg-man, they are the egg-men,
I am the walrus, goo goo a' joob.

Mr. City p'liceman sitting pretty little p'liceman in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run, I'm crying.
Yellow matter custard dripping from the dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess.
Boy, you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down.

I am the egg-man, they are the egg-men,
I am the walrus, goo goo a' joob.

Sitting in the English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain.

I am the egg-man, they are the egg-men,
I am the walrus, goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob.

Expert texpert choking smokers don't you think the joker
laughts at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied, I'm crying.
Semolina pilchards climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Element'ry penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen the kicking Edgar Allan Poe.

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing ittle girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold --
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end --
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

you guys are picking on all my favorite songs!

"Man, this ain't my day tonite"

my baby does the hanky panky
my baby does the hanky panky
my baby does the hanky panky
my baby does the hanky panky
my baby does the hanky panky
my baby does the hanky panky
my baby does the hanky panky

Steel Guitar..the session paid "peanuts:

Honey, I ban thankin'
You ain't much fun since I quit drinkin....

"Yes Yes I admit...(stupid triple drum flam)

I got a thinkin' problem.

Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain While we were marching through Georgia."

I don't remember any historical mention of a rail line being built....

Steve G? Help me out here...

(ducks..)

ROF....

CHORUS from "Black Light"

"I have a black light,
it makes her radiant,
I love my black light,
My gal's florescent."

and in an effort to sound computer literate in another tune:??

"Baby baby what's your favourite (web) page?
I'm gonna Fax you into the Atom Age."

Believe me, that's just scratching the surface.

So we started to think of obscure songs
by, not only the Beatles, but other groups,
you know.......we are singing to ourselves...
accapello......Dan harmonizes pretty well.
He's originally from Georgia, and can keep up with the Everly's with conviction.....

Anyway.., and I mean this, Dan says to me,
do you know "THE EGGMAN"?

And I said, yes Dan, I think I do. Do you mean the one by the Beatles, or Perry Como?

So Dan is part of my band, and the "Duke" [lead guitar] and Aldo [vocals, acoustic guitar] are in the band, but are not with us
right now, cuz I wish they were.

He are me and "Dan the Man" trying to, not only remember the somewhat melody [what melody?] and lyrics to this Beatles classic,
but trying, also to figure where the rythym
lies.

And Mike.......thanks so much for the, uh,
real lyrics.

Ole' Dan hasn't seen this yet, so this will
be a big hit.

"Billy broke my heart at Walgreens
and I cried all the way to Sears"
Ruby Wright (Kitty Wells' daughter) Pete Drake played the "talking steel guitar" and sang/played the above phrase as the turnaround.

"I'm so sad and blue in the graveyard
with six feet of dirt overhead
the green grass is growing above me
this is the first time that I've been dead
You once used to give me your kisses
but also to somebody new
it happened oncet too often
now I am in my coffin
'cause I died all over you

I died all over you
Halelujah
yes I died all over you
I'm dressed fit to kill
but I'm layin' mighty still
'cause I died all over you"

I told some friends the facts
about your income tax

You're a real good friend

Who did you tell it to
Internal Revenue

You're a real good friend

And Eddy Arnold had some lyrics from Seven Years With The Wrong Woman that went something like:

When you've married the wrong woman
There's nothing you can do
Except dig a hole
and pull the ground in over you.....

It should be:

'Mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy...'

This, I think, elevates the song to one of the more sensible songs quoted in this 'thread'.

I see that the Beatles have been cited twice - I can't quite believe they've been criticised on this Forum. I thought the Fab Four were above reproach here!

Especially since they put me out of work as a steel player for about 4 years........and I had to play bass in the interim......

The Guess Who
Words and music by Burton Cummings

- peaked at #29 in 1971

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel
And baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

It was a cold, snowy, rainy afternoon
And we were sittin' there in high school, my school
And Michael was a moonbeam maker
And Michael was a moonbeam maker

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel, oh no
Baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

Flop eared mule
Flop eared, Flop eared, Flop eared mule

Flop eared mule

Mule mule mule mule

Mule mule mule mule
Flop eared, Flop eared, mule

4) a dinka de a dinka doo

5) Alone again naturally
( and ALL the rest of that song {cringe})

(If you think in terms of the great irish deconstructionist poets, "Come Together" is pretty darn good metaphor and doesn't deserve to be on this list. Sure it seems odd, but it has a logic to what apears madness.)
