Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Astronomy"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And don't forget my dog
Fixed and consequent
Why They're Nonsensical:
Completely incomprehensible without the explanation. The 'dog' refers to the dogstar Sirius, which remains fixed in the night sky and thus is useful for navigation.
Submitted by: Raoul
"Godzilla"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
History shows again and again
how nature points out the folly of men
Go go Godzilla!
Why They're Nonsensical:
I agree wholeheartedly with the thesis, but not with Godzilla as an example from history?
Submitted by: Mike

Oh, no. There goes Tokyo
Why:

"Don't Fear The Reaper"
The Lyrics:
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Why:
Probably not a good ringtone to go off in a place, such as a hospital or hospice care facility, with a lot of terminally ill patients.
