Story about this misheard lyric by: ImStillRightDammit I was looking up this song in the Internet for the "deadhead sticker" reference. My gf had tried to explain it to me once, but she was yapping away and I was driving so I did not listen. Anyways, I saw "Boys of Summer" for the title, whoa! I decided to look up the lyrics, sure enough there it was. Poison summer makes sense to me though (excitement and competition in the summer can lead to betrayal, dishonesty, etc, all poisons to love)... and boys of summer just sounds gay (I had always pictured a girl as the subject) |

Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Dirty Laundry"
The Funny Lyrics: Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up Kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're stiff Kick 'em all around Why They're Funny: The way he says 'Kick 'em when they're up' sounds like Pee-Wee Herman. During 'kick 'em when they're stiff', it was the telephone ringing sound effects I like.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"All She Wants To Do Is Dance"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Well we barely made the airport for the last plane out
Why They're Nonsensical: Hello? Barely making the airport makes the average person run late for the flight, and likely not catching the plane.
Submitted by: Mike Hack
| "Dirty Laundry"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: It's interesting when people die,
Give us dirty laundry Why They're Nonsensical: How so? Sometimes it can be, but the wording of this, and the song in general, seems confusing.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"The Last Worthless Evening"
The Lyrics: I know you broke up with him and your heart's still on the shelf
It's been over two years for me, and I'm still not quite myself You can't be with someone else, and you can't go back to him You're beginning to realize that it's sink or swim Why: The general song is depressing but the rhythm is very upbeat.

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:
"Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat"
Don Henley is best known as the front man of the Eagles, whose music was known for its sometimes poetic style. Mr. Henley took that style to a successful solo career in which he recorded several songs with social commentary. Then sometime in the early '90s, he recorded a laid-back rendition of this lighthearted tune from the classic musical 'Guys & Dolls,' and it got a surprising amount of radio play.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Crude remarks about Glenn Frey and vomit"
Before The Eagles reunited in 1994, Henley was asked during a news conference if he would ever work with Frey again. His response was: "I'd rather eat my own vomit."
