Creedence Clearwater Revival's, "Down On The Corner"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Clever reference to a Jew's harp, better known as a harmonica. Unfortunately, no other name for harmonica could fit... it must've caused a lot of confusion over the years.

The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Tamborines and elephants are playing in the band.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Maybe John Fogerty lives in an area where such things are so common he can see them lookin' out his back door... but I think it's more likely he was consuming substances that shouldn't be consumed.
