Song Parody Fragments:
"Long Long Journey"
Better Lyrics:
Long long journey to the bus stop,
long long way to go.
But does it have to keep raining?
Why can't they just get me home?
long long way to go.
But does it have to keep raining?
Why can't they just get me home?
Original Lyrics:
Long long journey through the darkness,
long long way to go.
But what are miles accross the ocean,
to the heart that's coming home.
long long way to go.
But what are miles accross the ocean,
to the heart that's coming home.

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"One By One"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Yet another goodbye ...
She says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye ... No goodbye ... Don't say Adios, say Adios, Goodbye Why They're Nonsensical: Blatant contradiction. Does she say goodbye or not? She says goodbye through the first three verses, and then suddenly she doesn't. Changes the meaning a bit.
Submitted by: Christopher Hurley
| "Anywhere Is"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: You go there, you're gone forever
I go there, I'll lose my way If we stay here, we're not together Anywhere is Why They're Nonsensical: The first two lines make some sort of sense, as they're lost in 'the maze of moments' according to the first verse, but why will they not be together if they stay where they are? And what is anywhere? We're never told.

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:
"Orinoco Flow"
The Lyrics: Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow,
Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli. Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore, Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea. From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon, From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony, From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon, From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea. From the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum, From the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon [...] We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies Why: The Orinoco river (in Venezuela), Tripoli, the Yellow Sea (in China), Bissau, Palau (near the Philippines), Fiji, Tiree (an island of the Inner Hebrides in Scotland), the Isles of Ebony (in Kent, England), Peru, Cebu (also in the Philippines), Bali, Santiago ("Cali" refers to the city's full name "Santiago de Cali", it is not a reference to California), the Coral sea (off Australia), Ebudae (also in the Inner Hebrides), Khartoum (the capital of Sudan), the Islands of the Moon (in Madagascar) and the Ross dependencies in Antartica. Avalon is a mythical island, Babylon is now a ruined city in Iraq and the Sea of Clouds is on the moon; not sure if they count. Is there another song with more references to as many varied places around the world than this one?
