Sometimes, you hear some mad lyrics, and you just have to laugh.

Example of one I've just been listening to, BIG DADDY ROGERS, I'M A BIG MAN (MIDAS).

'I'm gonna take you to the woodshed, & drop a couple of planks on you'.

Great record, but what's all that about then?

Any more, anyone?

Just a bit of fun.

 

Aid.

From the Exciters--(Blowing Up My Mind), the classic lyric

 

"It's almost like eating peas by the pound,then wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down"

There's a button on the left and one on the riiiiight.

The one in the middle says we're having bad luck.

We're running out of gas and our landing gear is stuck.

 

The Aeroplane song. Arguably the worst record ever played at a Northern Soul allnighter.

Isn' it "Eating beans by the pound" ? and thereby blowing up?

Could be mate always thought it was Peas but a pound of either would create the same Blow up i think :ohmy:

 I'm A Big Man is surely a reference to his size in the trouser department! "I'm a big man and I'm hard for my baby", "I got a lot of meat and I'm hard to beat cos I'm a big man" "She's got a sweet tooth and she loves my jelly roll". So he plans on taking her to the woodshed and treating her to a coupla' planksworth of his wood.

Aid.

What about George Clinton's Heart Trouble, thinking he had a leak from the sink, calling the plumber to be told it was tears from his eyes!!  Something like that, I recall. Nuts but brill.

I dont need no woman to help me starve to death I can do that all by myself .

Ive got a little volcano about to erupt more than enough to fill your loving cup .

I'm a kid no more and this I fully realise ever since I left my loving mother's side

Skullsnaps "I'm your pimp" GSF immediately springs to mind, absolutely brilliant record, as "black" as coal

 

Kev

Square as a pool table and twice as green.

Aaron Neville - Hard nut to crack.

 

You couldnt part us with a tommy gun.

Magnificent Seven - Never will i make my baby cry.

Later worked by Larry Clinton as a Funkadelic b side Fish Chips and Sweat. As he co-wrote it why not.

George Clinton-surely?

Both Oscar Irvin and L.J. Reynolds "Let One Hurt Do"

 

"To find you don't love me is like being hit by an automobile"

What about the Greg Perry It Takes Heart - where he sings the bit about "You can move a car". Not necessarily crazy - just crap! Couldn't think of anything else to rhyme.

 

Great record though.

Joe Douglas - 'Toss off and shout as loud as you can'.. Crazy Things!

 

Ruby Andrews - Just loving you, near the end of the song, Rube can definitely be heard to sing "such a tit head" - no question! :lol:

 

2 mins 18 secs ...

 

Just been listening to "mix it up" - the stridells.......................strange indeed!

 

"I'm like a good old fashioned tapioca pudding.......your like a doughnut, a lip smackin' appetising doughnut!"

 

.....food for thought ?

Hello Simsy ,I think if you  listen to em again you'll find Joe Douglas sings " Talk soft and shout as loud as I can"  .... Whilst Ruby Andrews sings @2.14  "I'm satisfied" then @ 2.18 " So contented".  But I'm sure whenever these two are played in future it will be your revised lyrics that I hear!

Edited by dave2

Not exactly on topic but the best 'eyebrow raising' lyric must come at the end of Jackie Wilsons 'I've Lost You' - comes at the end of the record as song: "I'm gonna kiss you in the morning where the sun don't shine" or at least that's what I've always heard it as. Top man!
