| "Solar Prestige A Gammon"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Solar prestige a gammon
Why They're Nonsensical: Actually, this entire song makes no sense, it's all just a bunch of random words (although if you listen close, it does sounds like he says 5 different types of fish throughout the chorus)

"Philadelphia Freedom"
The Insincere Lyrics: Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia Freedom
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag Why They're Insincere: It's a well-known fact that Elton John was born in England. This song suggests that he was born in Philadelphia! Elton's such a liar!
[Ed's comment: I suggest Mr Dwight was talking about a subject other than his nationality...] Submitted by: Aaerni
| "This Song Has No Title"
The Insincere Lyrics: Oh this song's got no title
Just words and a tune Why They're Insincere: Well duh its a song! Its supposed to have words and a tune. If it didn't have words and a tune it wouldn't be a song, Einstine.

"Your Song"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: I don't have much money
But boy if I did I'd buy a big house where We both could live Why They're Misrhymed: Everyone knows that 'did' does not rhyme with 'live'. This is what makes this part of the song different from all the other parts. In all the other parts of the song, the words rhyme, as in 'inside, hide' 'no, show' 'do, you', 'moss, cross', 'do, blue', and 'mean, seen', if you know what I mean if you've heard this song.
Submitted by: Aaerni
| "Can You Feel The Love Tonight? (lion King Version)"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic in the air And with all this romantic atmosphere Disaster's in the air Why They're Misrhymed: One: No word (or phrase, for that matter) rhymes with itself. Two: Given that, how the heck do you rhyme 'magic' and 'disaster's'?

"Island Girl"
The Insulting Lyrics: Island girl, what you wanting with the white mans world
Island girl, black boy wants you in his island world He wants to take you from this wretched spot He wants to save you, but the cause is lost Island girl(x3) Tell me what you want with a white man's world Why They're Insulting: This song reeks of racism. Kinda makes you wonder if Elton's lyricist, Bernie Taupin, had any unresolved race issues when he wrote the words to this song.
Submitted by: Michael E. Cormier
| "Dirty Little Girl"
The Insulting Lyrics: I've seen a lot of women who haven't had much luck
I've seen you looking like you've been run down by a truck That ain't nice to say sometimes I guess I'm really hard But I'm gonna put buckshots in your pants if you step into my yard Why They're Insulting: Wow. It seems he's saying "yes, I know it's completely mean & unfair, but I have no compassion for you. You look like hell; get away from me!"

"Honky Cat"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: They said get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods Well I quit those days and my redneck ways Why They're Inappropriate: Does anyone else think it's funny that Elton John, a gay British singer known for his colorful outfits would have anything to do with 'redneck ways'?
Submitted by: Neil McRae
| "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: When the heat of a rolling wind
Why They're Inappropriate: The wind does not roll, balls do or something round. It sounds like world to me, that is what I thought it was when I heard it, and wow does that give the song meaning!
Submitted by: Paul Mytych

"Philadelphia Freedom"
The Dirty Lyrics: Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man
Why They're Dirty: Elton probably meant this line to refer to growing up in a free society. But 'knee-high to a man' sounds like he's on his knees providing oral gratification to the man.
Submitted by: John
| "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"
The Dirty Lyrics: Time on my hands, could be time spent with you...
Why They're Dirty: The innocent figure-of-speech 'time on my hands' followed by 'could be time spent with you' first sounds like Elton is singing about how he's spending time away from the one he loves ... then on closer examination, it can also be heard as Elton hinting at exactly WHAT he's doing with his hands while he's thinking about the one he loves ...

"I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"
The Lyrics: And it won't be long
Before you and me run To a place in our hearts Where we'll hide. Why: Say "Before you and I run" instead of "Before you and me run." "Me" should only be used following a verb, such as "See me run."
