Funny Lyrics:

"The Distance"
The Funny Lyrics:
The sun has gone down, and the moon has come up and long ago somebody left with the cup, but he's driving, and striving, and hugging the turns and thinking of someone for whom he still burns...
Why They're Funny:
The whole song is about a guy who's lost a race (and is, in fact, in dead-last position), but he still wants to actually cross the finish line. also, a couple of lyrics just before the ones above says, "the fans get up and they get out of town/the arena is empty, except for one man..." uhh, if everyone else has left, why don't you? it's just the image of some guy still racing even when the winners have been declared and everyone's left.

"World Of Two"

Think you are two of the most perfect,beautful people in your world....
Why They're Funny:
He singing about a girl with split personalties! There is NO Room in their world of two!

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Pretty Pink Ribbon"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Without the sticky little kitten
You're ticket could never be free
Why They're Nonsensical:
...Sticky...Little...Kitten? Anyone else as confused as me? I mean, sure, he could be talking about her...yeah, but..still.. Do these two lines make aaaaany sense to anyone else?

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Frank Sinatra"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
'While Frank Sinatra sings 'Stormy Weather' The flies and spiders get along together, Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.'
Why They're Inappropriate:
Continuing what D-Rad said about names only mentiones once in songs that are the title - Gorillaz also did a song called Clint Eastwood, that doesn't mention, and isn't about Clint Eastwood.
Submitted by: J7
"Frank Sinatra"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
'While Frank Sinatra sings 'Stormy Weather' The flies and spiders get along together, Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.'
Why They're Inappropriate:
Someone said that one mention of Frank Sinatra does not 'warrant a song title'.... The Postal Service has a song titled Clark Gable... and only mentions his name once. The Foo Fighters have a song called Hey! Johnny Park... which never mentions and isnt about Johnny Park.... So I'm pretty sure it's ok for Cake to have a song called Frank Sinatra... Let's let the artist decide what to call a song shall we? After all....it's their song...not yours.
