@achewood Note how white pepper, ground freshly into one's hand, makes it smell as though you've been rubbing your open palm around on a horse's anus.

Indeed. Plus I purposely pulled lyrics for a children's song intended to go with a Flash video. Hence the troll tag.

Although I think on the whole they're more clever than dumb.

Quote from: "TMBG"
Meet James Ensor,
Belgiums famous painter,
dig him up and shake his hand,
appreciate the man.


Dude, that's lyrical genius right there.

"Meet James Ensor" is actually quite clever when you consider that in many regards it's a play off of James Ensor himself, an artist who quite closely examined his own mortality. (I vaguely recall him doing a painting, entitled Self-Portrait, 1970, of a skeleton in a suit.)

I think I'm preaching to the choir, but still.

Haha, yeah, the problems of a nonverbal medium. I love that song, for the reasons you so aptly gave.

Has to be said that Meet James Ensor is lyrically one of my favourite TMBG songs, and I now have it stuck in my head (bummer...).
Also Dead I always particularly liked, and... well damnit most of them. They were great lyrically, though I mainly refer to Flood and the eponymous album which were the two I know best. I mean the verse about jason and the argonauts in Little Birdhouse I always adored!

Then of course there's Keidas' lyrics for the Chili Peppers. They're not stupid or dumb, they just never make any fuck*ng sense.
Well, OK, to read they are pretty dumb but they don't come across too bad on the records since they just don't make sense.
But, go on, read these and see how bad they are in writing...
Zephyr Song
By The Way


Kedis Lyrics rule...

"Sittin' on a sack of beans
Sittin' down in New Orleans
You wouldn't believe what I've seen
Sitting on that sack of beans

Lunatics on pogo sticks
Another southern fried freak on a crucifix
Hicks don't mix with politics
People on the street just kickin' to the licks"

No, it don't make a bit of sense, but it's cool as hell.

Agreed, that one is cool, but I mean, come on... Some of the latest ones looks stupid in writing. As I say, they fit brilliantly to the music, and some of them have some great lyrics, but By The Way and Zephyr Song in particular, look pretty silly in writing.

I am putting myself at risk of incredible bodily pain and mental anguish. Ah, how much I love you people. Ahem:

Quote from: "Kelis"
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
And they're like, "It's better than yours."
Damn right, it's better than yours.
I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.



I'd better go listen to something bef--OH MY GOD THE BURNING! MAKE IT STOP!!!


EDIT: STILL WITH THE BURNING!


oh shush your mouth. milkshake lyrick = roc.
