Why the Name is Stupid:

The Flys
Ordinarily, I wouldn't care that the name is misspelt. However, when I heard the name on the radio, I assumed it had the normal spelling ("flies"), so when I searched it on Google and NOTHING came up [band-wise, I mean], I naturally got frustrated. I only found out the "correct" spelling by accident while looking at a radio station's playlist! In short, don't make a band name that's going to cause that much confusion. Submitted by: Jonathan S.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Boom Boom Pow (Clean Version)" by Black Eyed Peas
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Here we go, here we go (bleep) radio
Y'all getting hit with the boom, boom!
Why They're Nonsensical:
If you haven't heard the explicit version (or even haven't heard the song at all), I bet you'll never guess what the bleeped word is in the clean version. It is 'satellite'. Now why censor the word 'satellite' when it isn't a swear word?
Submitted by: IndieLover

Insulting Lyrics:

"Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Insulting to Neil Young!

Gonna be a rock n' roll singer. Gonna be a rock n' roll star. Yes I are!

Submitted by: wadded beef
"Whip It" by Devo
The Lyrics:
Whip it good

One time I saw Jon Cryer sing this on a show. He ended with "whip it well" and then went on to say, "I always wanted to fix that!"
