Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Cheeseburger In Paradise"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Why They're Nonsensical: The pickle doesn't have to be "kosher" if eating a cheeseburger with it. A cheeseburger itself is not kosher - Orthodox Jewish People never eat meat and dairy together. Therefore, those who do consume cheeseburgers are not even eating a kosher meal at all; the pickle makes no difference.
