What lengths would you go to cover up your fake nursing license? If you're Betty Lictenstein, you create a fake association, throw yourself a "Nurse of the Year" Party and pay for it out of your own pocket.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"The Beaches Of Cheyenne"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
Why They're Nonsensical: This song is about a lady in California who wanders off into the ocean and drowns after she hears that her husband has been killed in a rodeo accident in Cheyenne, Wyoming. But the song, particularly this line, doesn't make any sense. Either she's walking the beaches of California, or she's doing something physically impossible, because last time I looked at a map, Cheyenne was the capital of Wyoming, which is a landlocked state. I love you, Garth, but I just don't understand this song.
Submitted by: Carolee
| "You Move Me"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out Why They're Nonsensical: Do I even need to mention why this is nonsensical? How can your heart be "hangin' out"? If it was, you couldn't be alive!

Dirty Song Lyrics:
"That Summer"
The Dirty Lyrics: That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night When I told her that I'd never She softly whispered that's alright And then I watched her hands of leather Turn to velvet in a touch There's never been another summer When I have ever learned so much. Why They're Dirty: An older woman took his virginity...yet you might not catch that unless listening closely.
Submitted by: Becca
| "Ain't Going Down til the sun somes up"
The Dirty Lyrics: Correct lyrics are: Four o'clock get up and going
Five o'clock that rooster's crowing Why They're Dirty: I have wondered if they are, just for the 'ain't going down' aspect - but I think it's just an expression for staying up all night. However, I had to point out that the interpretation by a previous poster actually contains the wrong lyrics!

Even though Loggins co-wrote the song, he didn't take part in the lawsuit. It was settled out of court.
