Favorite Stupid Song Lyric - Go!

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!”

So many, it's impossible to pick one 'favorite'
but I like this one...

He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye
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 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." )

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!

BeatlesBible says...

Come Together’ was composed for Timothy Leary’s campaign to stand against Ronald Reagan as governor of California. Leary and his wife Rosemary had traveled to Montreal for John and Yoko’s bed-in for peace, which took place on 1 June 1969. The Learys participated in the recording of Lennon’s ‘Give Peace A Chance’, and were both namechecked in the lyrics.

Who was teaching the "true meanings" of Beatles songs.

So it sounds like John was just trolling that professor.

… 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”
