Beach Boys', "Don't Back Down"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
With their feet full of tar and their hair full of sand,
the boys know the surf like the palm of their hand
the boys know the surf like the palm of their hand
Why They're Nonsensical:
They don't know it like the BACK of their hand?

Beach Boys', "Don't Talk (Put your head on my shoulder)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Being here with you feels so right, we could live forever tonight.
Why They're Nonsensical:
It's a beautiful song, but how can you live forever in one night?

The Beach Boys', "Help Me Rhonda"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Well, since she put me down, I've been out doin' in my head.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Out doing what? I love this song, but this line doesn't make sense to me. "Doin' in my head"? Seems like a particular word is missing from this line.

The Beach Boys', "Kokomo"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Off the Florida Keys there's a place called Kokomo
Why They're Nonsensical:
The only thing off the Florida Keys is water, and lots of it. And as for as I know, the only place in the United States called Kokomo is in Indiana, which is in the middle of the freakin' heartland for crying out loud! But if that's where you want to go to get away from it all, Google says that place called Kokomo is about 1,407 miles off the Florida Keys. I wouldn't count on hearing the rhythm of a steel drum band in the middle of some cornfield.

Beach Boys', "Little Saint Nick"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Well, way up North where the air gets cold,
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told.
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled.
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told.
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled.
Why They're Nonsensical:
"Famous 'cat'"? Santa Claus is a cat? Well Ho, Ho, Meow, Meow!

The Beach Boys', "Surfer Girl"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Standing by the ocean's roar
Why They're Nonsensical:
A roar is a sound, not an object or location. How do you stand next to it? Perhaps Mike Love means a portion of the ocean which is making a loud sound?
