Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Dont Worry,Be Happy"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Aint got no cash,
aint got no style, aint got no gal to make you smile, but dont worry, be happy Why They're Nonsensical: The dude spouting the ultimate in bull here seems to think that those he's addressing are as mad as he is.We are told to expect some trouble in this life.Sure,that's correct,and noone,guys, this side of eternity will avoid it.However,we are further informed that no matter what kack life throws into our faces we're to walk around grinning like simpletons and being happy.Sorry Mr big pile of bull advice,but the human condition aint like that.No cash?-Like,big worries time.No decent modern clobber?-Like,which antiques closet did you step out of pal?No gal?Now there's something which is guaranteed to get any red blooded man just whooping for joy,right?WRONG.And sometimes that can bite hard more than at other times.He spouts further bull about not fretting about other lacks,you know like a roof over your head,and says to call him if you're in trouble.What,so he can make us feel ten times worse with yet further mindless prattle about being happy in spite of all this bad stuff?Guys,this dude could use a shrink,and fast.To take it a stage further,it's all very well for the writers and singers of so-called great numbers to waffle this dungheap nonsense making mountains of money in the process.Are they worried?Are they Hell.They're as happy as the day is as long and tortuous for people without jobs,lovers or even homes.Talk about the prattlings of the stupid.Guys,the song drives me nuts.
