Funniest Song Lyrics:

"Sadeness"
The Funny Lyrics:
In nomine Christi, Amen
Shall we proceed in peace
In the name of Christ, Amen
Sade, dis-moi: Qu'est-ce que tu vas chercher?
le Bien par le Mal, la Vertu par le Vice
/heavy panting/
Why They're Funny:
Truly corny. The mix of gregorian chant and lyrics about sadism is meant to be really shocking but it seems pretty inane. The lines in French mean 'Sade, tell me: what is it you're searching for? Good by Evil, Virtue by way of Vice?' Sure, I bet those monks were getting off on a whipping hour every tuesday!

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Le Roi est mort, Vive le Roi"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Things are changing
But nothing changes
And still there are changes
Why They're Nonsensical:
As much as I love Enigma, this seems like a contradiction of a paradox. Really....it just doesn't make sense.

Bad Ringtone Choices:

"Beyond the Invisible"
The Lyrics:
I look into the mirror,
See myself, I'm over me.
I need space for my desires,
Have to dive into my fantasies.
I know as soon as I'll arrive,
Everything is possible,
Cause no one has to hide,
Beyond the invisible.
Why:
Not a good choice to have this set as your ringtone while working in a psychiatric hospital.
