Def Leppard		Rock of Ages		Gunter glieben glauten globen		Once again a cut and paste from their official discography. But they do claim it isn't meant to necessarily mean anything. I thought it was kind of like the german conjugation for the verb "to believe" - John Mifflin

Def Leppard		Hysteria		It's such a magical mysteria		I took this straight off the discography on their website. - John Mifflin
Destiny's Child		Bills, Bills, Bills		"automobills"		One can deduce that these must be bills related to one's automobile. This has irritated me since the first time I heard it, and am now dismayed to find it has apparently caught on- there's even an automobills.net. Lord, help us. - audiophile
The Diamonds		Ka-Ding-Dong		ka-ding-dong, a-ding-dong, da-ding-dong		One line goes: "Because a-ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding". "Ka-ding-dong" appears only in the title. - Loree Dare
Dick Van Dyke, etc.		Chitty Chitty Bang Bang		Fantasicmagorical		"You're uncategorical, a fuel burning oracle A fantasticmagorical machine" - KL Fan
Dicky Doo & The Don'ts		Nee Nee Na Na Na Na Nu Nu		na		I could not find a definition for "na" although "nee" and "nu" are words. This song was a hit in 1958. - Yvette Bristle

Donovan		Barabajagal		Barabajagal		This song is a good jam song. - Paul Warren
Doris Day		Ooh Bang Jiggilly Jang		jiggilly		The lyrics say: "Some have ginger and some have snap. Some have this and some have that. But my guy, all he's got is ooh bang jiggilly jang." This song was a small hit in 1955. - Yvette Bristle
Dschinghis Khan		Der Dudelmoser		Dudelmoser		Every attempt by me to translate "Dudelmoser" from German into English has failed, so I'm just going to assume that it's a made-up word. - Dylan Baranski
