Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Rum and Coca-Cola"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Goin' down Point Tumana Both mother and daughter Working for the Yankee Dollar Why They're Nonsensical: In the second line it originally sounded to me like they were singing 'Goin' down Point to Mana,' suggesting it referred to 'Point Mana,' whatever that is, and they got the lyrics mixed up. The Sisters were singing in a pseudo-Latin accent, which made the fourth line unintelligble: 'Lookin' for the Ahkee Dolla,' or something.

Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree"
Opening Lines: Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me Anyone else but me, No! No! No! Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Comments: "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree" was written and recorded originally back in World War II. The writers were Lew Brown, Sam H. Stept and Charles Tobias. It was originally envisioned to be sung my a male vocalist, in the guise as a serviceman writing home to his girlfriend, and was recorded by several artists both during World War II and afterwards. But the most famous and best selling version was by the Andrews Sisters with a very swinging beat.

Scary Song Lyrics:
"Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar"
The Lyrics: You'll hear them say, "Beat me Daddy, eight to the bar".
Why: For a long time, I thought this was about someone actually asking her father to beat her up. And I still don't know what it actually does mean.
