Madonna's, "American Life"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
Why They're Nonsensical:
Madonna has never tried a sex change operation. And she TRIED to be a girl??? That line is even worse, as she IS a female! I've never actually heard this song, but I've seen this nonsensical lyric several times on this website.

Madonna's, "Crazy For You"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Swaying room as the music starts.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Actually, this might not make sense unless an earthquake was happening...which I doubt there was, given the context of the song.

Madonna's, "Crazy For You"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Two by two their bodies become one.
Why They're Nonsensical:
If it were 'two by two' wouldn't that be an orgy? How could they all become one?

Madonna's, "Die Another Day"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I'm gonna wake up yes and no,
I'm gonna keep, some part of

Which is it, yes or no? And what part of what are you going to keep?

Madonna's, "Don't Tell Me"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Tell the rain not to dry.
Why They're Nonsensical:
That would do no good, because 1) the rain cannot hear you (and hence could not obey), and 2) it will eventually dry up anyway.

Madonna's, "I Love New York"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
If you don't like my attitude
Then you can f*** off
Just go to Texas
Isn't that where they golf
Why They're Nonsensical:
Well done to Madge for conjuring possibly the most prime example of diabolical songwriting this year (not only on this track but also others on her wretched new album too). I wasn't aware that Texas was the capital of golfing; here was me under the impression it's more widespread than that. And was she trying to be controversial with the gratuitous swearing? If so, it would've been much more persuasive if she didn't censor herself. It reminds me of Pfactorialnk.

Madonna's, "I'll Remember"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Inside, I was a child That could not mend a broken wing,
Outside, I looked for a way to teach my heart to sing.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Can we say 'mixed metaphors'?

Madonna's, "Papa Don't Preach"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Papa Don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Why They're Nonsensical:
Trouble deep? Doesn't she mean deep trouble? Obviously a lame attempt to get a rhyme with the next line, "losing sleep."
