Old catchy song, silly lyrics...

*Sacrifice* by Elton John. Could never understand the lyrics.
Can't say it's dumb, maybe I'm missing something. But beautifully sung as usual.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds. I know it was supposed to refer to the effects of LSD, but still.......a major lyric car crash.​

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes​

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone​

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...​

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high​

Newpaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone​

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...​

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes​

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (fade out)​

Comes with the worst rendition of a song in history......ever.​

Lithium lyrics - Nirvana
Songwriters: Cobain, Kurt; Novoselic, Krist; Grohl, David;

I'm so happy 'cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay
'Cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday
For all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found God

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah

I'm so lonely, that's ok
I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard
I'm not sure
I'm so excited
I can't wait to meet you there
And I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay
My will is good

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah

I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I killed you I'm not gonna crack

I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I killed you I'm not gonna crack

I'm so happy 'cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay
'Cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday
For all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found god

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah

I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I killed you I'm not gonna crack

I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I killed you I'm not gonna crack

On a side note, when I was younger and in Boy Scouts, this friend and I were going to start a band, and put out a blank CD, no word, no lyrics, no song titles... just 80 minutes of nothing.. Figured you could make your own words and such as you drove, and the CD would sell to all genre's. LOL


We were trying to be like this:

But we were really more like this:

Yep I remember hearing it, but now Dan rolleyes as it was playing he walked down the hall, came back, playing air guitar, singing it word for word. :-D

Close, it's (I won't do that) I told him now it's more like (Two out of Three Ain't Bad)
Aw that's mean huh? think I was mad when I said that. LOL

 

Don't care for her any more, Stood By My Man way too long

 

How about

Lady Antebellum - Lookin' For A Good Time

Girl you’re beautiful
You’re bout near perfect
But I bet somebody’s already told you that
Name your poison
Name your passion
Cause a boy like me just couldn’t help but ask
Keep on talking to me baby
I’m hanging on your every word
Keep those drinks a coming maybe
We’ll both get what we deserve

How bout baby
We make a promise
To not promise anything more than one night
Complicated situations
Only get worse in the morning light
Hey I’m just lookin’ for a good time

Put in a long hard week doing this 9 to 5
And you’re just the girl to get that off my mind
You shouldn’t ‘ve worn that dress
You shouldn’t dance like that
You got this little heart of mine in overdrive
I sure love this conversation
The band is good, the music’s loud
Would you get the wrong impression
(radio version here says "If I asked you to dance right now.")
If I called us a cab right now

How bout baby
We make a promise
To not promise anything more than one night
Complicated situations
Only get worse in the morning light
Hey I’m just lookin’ for a good time

Go ahead and lie to me and pull me close
Tell me that you love me even if you don’t
The rule is don’t you ever even talk about forever
But you never say never in life

How bout baby
We make a promise
To not promise anything more than one night
Complicated situations
Only get worse in the morning light
Hey I’m just lookin’ for a good time

Hey I’m just lookin’ for a good time

I always picture this song as a guy talking to some girl at the bar, talking her up as well as he can, and she's blowing him off for a while. Sounds like he's almost being ignored with the first two or three exchanges. It feels like sarcasm by the end of the song, I like this song a lot, but if I am right, it's kinda goofy, although it's not old..

 

Here you go. All you music connoisseurs out there will appreciate this little gem from the anals (that is not a typo) of British music classics.

Chuck Berry: My Ding-A-Ling
(lyrics as typed by a 3rd grader, I suppose)

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hangin on a string
she told me it was my ding a ling a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

you know then mamma took me to sunday school
they tried to teach me the golden rule
every time the choir would sing
i'd take out my ding a ling a ding

then mamma took me to grammar school
but i stopped off in the vestibule
every time that bell would ring
catch me playin with my ding a ling a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

once i was climbing the garden wall
i slipped and had a terrible fall
i fell so hard i heard bells ring
but held on to my ding a ling a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

I remember the girl next door
we used to play house on the kitchen floor
she'd be the queen and i'd be the king
and i let her play with my ding a ling a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

once i was swiming cross turtle creek
man them snappers all around my feet
sure was hard swimming across that thing
with both hands holding my ding a ling a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

girl downstairs
shes so big and bold
grandma warned me, "shes too old"
she used to take me swingin in the school yard swing
swing down and take my ding a ling a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

this here song it aint so sad
the cutest little song you ever had
those of you who will not sing
you must be playing with your own ding a ling

o my ding a ling ,
my ding a ling
i want u to play with my ding a ling

your ding a ling
your ding a ling
we saw u playin with your ding a ling

oh my ding a ling
everybody sing
i want to play with my
everybody
my, ding a ling oh my, ding a ling
(slow down) I wanna play (everybody) with my ding a ling...!!!

 

No disrespect, in my email notification, without seeing the actual video, I thought I was going to see you posting this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1DzlRvd0C4

Just based on what I have quoted. LOL

By the way, there's enough hair in this video to give me nightmares. Also, on a side note, I thought for sure that the third from the left was going to be the one singing the part I thought I quoted from you. LOL was I wrong. :cool

 

One more, I could live in this thread, I've listened to some goofy garbage in my 30 years. If you remember "The Rednex" they did a song called "Cotton-Eyed Joe" back in the day. Being a DJ back then, I bought the CD, and found this gem..

"Old Pop in an Oak"
Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke

Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey

Our big daddy is always the leader
He is the family's captain and chief, the one
I choked when my skin's caught up in my throat
'Cause there was our pop in the oak

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke


Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke

Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey

Hey
Hey

Our big mama, she really had her guts go
When daddy put the barbeque on maximum
And caught her favorite pet, a skunk whose name's Garth
Short after our pop was up far

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke

The Rednex shocking
The Rednex shocking
Yahoo!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke (woo-hoo!)

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke (woo-hoo!)

Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey, hey hey
Hey, hey

Old pop in an oak, pop in an oak
Once you could hear the sucker linger show
Thought I ever gonna see my old pop in an oak
Ever gonna see his old pipe in a smoke
