Moonflower! Wikipedia has an interesting take on the song. "Madman Drummers" and "Silicon Sisters" are apparently people Springsteen met early in his career. BTW, remember Allan Sherman's hit real well-"Here I am at Camp Grenada." Great!

Thanks Double H.  I checked it out on wiki. Very interesting. I also found a Bruce version on youtube and had a listen and also a Manfred Mann version with the lyrics. I'm still somewhat lost but seeing as how it's supposed to be Bruce's stream of consciousness I don't feel so bad now! 
It's a great song anyway, whatever it's on about.
Love Hello Mother, Hello Father. Such a laugh! |

Oh, man... Nobody's mentioned "Big Ten Inch Record" by Aerosmith (1975)?

from the song "They'll Need a Crane" by They Might Be Giants.
This line always struck me...
Don't call me at work again no no the boss still hates me
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore
And there's a restaurant we should check out where
The other nightmare people like to go
I mean nice people, baby wait,
I didn't mean to say nightmare
...it's probably funnier if you can hear the phrasing and the music.

Funny especially since my BIL just went through something like this...
From Ben Folds Five, "Song for the Dumped":
So you wanted to take a break,
Slow it down some and have some space,
Well F#*K YOU TOO!
Give me my money back, Give me my money back you b*#ch!
I want my money back, I want my money back
(And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt)

Unfortunatly, Rihanna will have a new single coming out very soon. Out of curiousity, I looked up the lyrcis. It's bascially a carbon-copy of Beyonce's Irreplacable. However, there is one very dumb but funny lyric in the song.
"You look so ugly when you cry"

"We can hide out under there...
I just made you say underwear..."

"Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral..."

The Seahorses...
Please may I leave the table
I don't think that I'll be able
To swallow your family values again today
Because a giant squid
He stole my wife and kid
Full story and pix
Ten pence off your Weetabix, yeah,yeah

I can take you round the universe
In a hot wired police car
We can ram raid Mars and Jupiter
And drive right through a star

The last time I heard "Flowers on the Wall" from the Statler Bros. I had to laugh.

Maybe someone can help me out with a song I'm trying to remember the name of. A few years ago my husband and I were driving in the car listening to some 70's disco/soul music that was on the radio. A funny song came on but I can't remember the lyrics to it.
It was a man singing about he didn't want to date ugly women and getting his freak on. I can't remember any of the lyrics for the life of me and neither can my husband so I know that doesn't help much. But man it was a funny song. Its one of those songs I'd know it if I heard it.
I know for sure it isn't "Get An Ugly Girl To Marry You" or "Don't Want No Big Fat Woman".
Can anyone help me out? Thanks! |
