Such a rich vein of material, almost infinite, such as:
“Like Angie Dickinson in ‘Big Bad Mama’
You’re starring in your own B-movie drama!”

but I like this one...
He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye
And the husky wee-wee, I mean the doggie wee-wee
Has blinded me, and I can't see, temporarily
The Wandering Harper
(915 posts)but the first actual favorite stupid lyrics that I recalled were the ones from Metallica
NNadir
(35,453 posts)The music to that silly song is phenomenal.
That album was, to my mind, his masterpiece.
(I especially liked it, because my girlfriend, later my wife, used to sing along with "Dirty Love." )

(2,195 posts)Silly, yes, but not stupid.
Did you know a montana is the name for a dental instrument? It’s the gismo a hygienist uses to scrape scale off your teeth.
So it’s a play on words, elaborated into a warped fantasy. Not stupid, IMHO. And with a pretty good tune backing it up!

Her lips are like a volcano that's hot

Stabbing my picture with a Bowie-knife

"
Here come old flat-top, he come groovin' up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
Shoot me
Right!
Come, come, come, come, come
He roller-coaster, he got early warnin'
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say, "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-lookin' 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together, right now
Over me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Ugh!
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Oh, come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together"

So it sounds like John was just trolling that professor.
WestMichRad
(2,195 posts)… they were making fun of how seriously everyone seemed to take their lyrics, trying to find deeper meanings. “Let’s do this song with completely nonsensical lyrics and see what people come up with, trying to read a hidden message in it.” They probably enjoyed some good laughs about it, especially since it became a very popular tune.

“…Look up in the air
The Octave Doctor's there!
And when he strokes his gong
Your middle eye comes on
What a surprise!
She looked around for Zero
But he'd lost his eyes
In a fruitcake”
