off the top of my head:
nirvana ‘tourettes’
butthole surfers ‘some dispute over t-shirt sales’
shellac ‘spoke’
anymore?
well what exactly are you looking for? the lyrics don’t make sense? the music? the songs popularity?
Lyrically - anything by Sigur Ros or Cocteau Twins!
1002
yeah i meant the lyrics, cos there are non
Anything by John Frusciante.
Love the man but he is completely incomprehensible.
velvet the only album i’d agree with you on the john comment is smile from the streets you hold and that’s cause he’s fucked up on heroin for most of the songs.
umm, what doesn’t make sense about a song called ‘tourettes’ filled with just random swearing?
and ‘spoke’ doesn’t have to mean the past tense of speaking. they are also those things on wheels. =/
Nitzer Ebb lyrics are complete nonsense.
No doubt.
“Bang-bang!/Bang-Bang!/Drown me/Drown me/Drown me in an emotional squalor/Squalor/Sped-sped-sped/Squalor/Sped-sped/Sped-sped…”
Take that, Shakespeare.
I never really pay attention to lyrics in songs, though.
Same here. Couldnt give a rats arse about lyrics unless they are funny, particularly when its unintentional. I cant stand the way some singers in bands think they are great musicians because they write lyrics. I once saw a band called Razorlight (they are complete shit) at a festival a few years back and during one song the singer (who is a total dick) told his band to slow down and the crowd to be quiet so they could hear his lyrics. It was one of the most painful experiences I have ever had at a gig. I turned on my heel and walked out as did a few others. Whenever I hear of that singer or the band since I feel ill.
agree with the funny lyrics comment… weird al DEMANDS your attention
Pretty much everything on the radio and mtv. Its either corrupt or meaningless. For example, that gay band from germany i think there name is Tokyo Hotel or something like that fucking horrible singer and im not sure if he’s a chick or a dude i lauph my ass right off when i see fan’s of theirs. Point and Lauph children.

“I’M GONNA SING NOW. LISTEN TO ME.”
I think that kinda thing should naturally elicit a “What the FUCK?”
Anything by Kylie Minogue.
i had lunch with an old friend recently who’s a drummer with everybody. he’s a jazz/blues guy. he suggested (successfully) to the singer he’s currently working with to do a cover of an old blues tune called “give me back my wig”, by hound dog taylor. man. priceless lyrics, but still hard to hear in the videos on the tube.
love me my screamin’ jay, puttin’ a spell on me.you should check out that give me back my wig footage.can’t understand most of what’s uttered, but who cares? it’s cool,and engaging.
that’s the name of the game.
