Nonsensical Lyrics:
"The Rock Show" by Blink 182
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And if I ever got another chance
I still would ask her to dance
because she kept me waiting.
I still would ask her to dance
because she kept me waiting.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Why the heck would you ask someone to dance because they kept you waiting? What where they thinking?

"The Rock Show" by Blink 182
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said 'What' and I told her that I didn't know
She said 'What' and I told her that I didn't know
Why They're Nonsensical:
Is it just me, or is that completely stupid? I mean, I guess it sort of makes sense, but it sounds like the person who wrote the lyrics either was very tired, brain dead, or had the brain of a five year old. I think a lot of people said 'what' when listening to this song.

"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" by Michael Jackson
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
You're just a little buffet,
you're a vegetable
They eat off you,
you're a vegetable
you're a vegetable
They eat off you,
you're a vegetable
Why They're Nonsensical:
The whole series of ever-so-scathing insults are hilarious to begin with but this part of the song is so out there. Michael needs to make up his mind whether the person's a vegetable or a buffet, then on top of this reconsider the notion that people 'eat off' both of these. Unless the plate/table/whatever is being eaten off is literally made out of vegetable or a whole buffet...and it's not the most practical solution to have an easily perishable table/plate, is it?

"Lose Control" by Missy Elliott
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I got thick legs, in shape.
Why They're Nonsensical:
If your legs are thick (meaning chubby/fat), how can they be in shape?

"Cradle and All" by Ani DiFranco
The Lyrics:
I live in New York, New York
City that never shuts up
In the daylight everything is so gory
You can hear snatches of stranger's sorry stories
I moved there from Buffalo
But that's nothing
The Trico plant moved to Mexico
Left my uncle standing out in the cold
Said here's your last paycheck
Have fun growing old.
City that never shuts up
In the daylight everything is so gory
You can hear snatches of stranger's sorry stories
I moved there from Buffalo
But that's nothing
The Trico plant moved to Mexico
Left my uncle standing out in the cold
Said here's your last paycheck
Have fun growing old.
Why:
New York, New York
Buffalo, New York
Mexico
Buffalo, New York

"Bluebird" by Jim White
The Lyrics:
Cold front bearing down, blowing in from Birmingham
By dawn the window's wet with icy rain.
Behind fourteen doors a sad parade of paramours are
throwing little white rocks at sorrow's window pane.
Me, I've found someone to love more than the rain
Salvation Army ringing bell, kingdom come and wishing wells.
By dawn the window's wet with icy rain.
Behind fourteen doors a sad parade of paramours are
throwing little white rocks at sorrow's window pane.
Me, I've found someone to love more than the rain
Salvation Army ringing bell, kingdom come and wishing wells.
Why:
Birmingham, AL
