Dad diddly office

Talking of Paul Simon, Mrs Robinson made no sense till I found out it was written about Mrs Roosevelt, the President's wife, they needed a song for the Graduate, so he just changed the name without changing the lyrics, idle sod

Don't forget Sigur Ros and their made up language, Hopelandish I think. 

Or way before them, Christian Vander from Magma and the language he created called Kobaïen.

I suspect jazz ciggies were involved...

Over and over
The crow cries, uncover the cornfield
Over and over
The thresher and hover the wheat field

Cabinessence - The Beach Boys

 

Even the Beach Boys were capable of gibberish,although those lyrics were credited to Van Dyke Parkes.

I always liked John Cooper Clarke, not difficult of understanding or anything tho.. one of my favourites contains

 

The man upstairs he grips my arm, says "don't I know your dad"? 

All I could hear were fire alarms the day my pad went mad....

I remember reading that Bob Dylan used to write down lines he thought would make good openings to songs, but didn’t use them. So he put them altogether into one song, but I can’t remember which one! 🥴  a lot of his post protest songs are pretty nonsensical.

It's one o'clock and time for lunch (hum de dum, de dum)
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk

There's always been Ethel
"Jacob, wake up, you've got to tidy your room now"
And then Mister Lewis
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds
Cuckoo to you
Keep them mowing, blades sharp

I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show (your show)
Your show

Sunday night, Mr. Farmer called, said
"Listen son, you're wasting time"
"There's a future for you in the fire escape trade"
"Come up to town"

But I remembered a voice from the past
"Gambling only pays when you're winning"
Had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure
Keep them mowing blades sharp

I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show

I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk
Me, I'm just a lawnmower
You can tell me by the way I walk

It's the old write some random stuff on a bit of paper, cut it up, rearrange, blah blah... 

I remember David Bowie demonstrating how he did this in a televised interview.

Going back to 1971, my Oxford group 'Ravin' Mick and Hiz Band' was breaking up as we'd all done our Finals and had gone home to sort out the rest of our lives (ha!) We agreed to record a few of our original numbers as a souvenir so I booked a one-day session at a 2-track (yes) studio near Tower Bridge (Tower Studios?) I played bass and sax and did loony vocals, my brother was on trumpet, Mike Unwin on piano, Don Hedges on drums (killed in a car crash shortly after alas), Andy Brown on guitar, with production help and keys from Dave Jarrett (Quiet Sun progger).

 

Having only two tracks meant a lot of bouncing down - the track named 'The Saxophone Snork' that's challenging for first prize in idiotic words in the link below was er, 'composed'  by me and was done in one backing band take, bounced onto track one, then sax and my vocals dropped in onto track 2, also in one take. Be kind if you can re the quality of the sound - this MP3 was re-recorded from an acetate disk master 50 years after the disk was cut.

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ghi4xv1pvf0nxs/Rmick_Saxophone_Snork.mp3?dl=0

 

The words:

Chorus 1: 'Come, down to my little cabin in the woods

                  Said my old Grandfather to me,

                  When I was just ninety-four...'

 

Chorus 2: 'Come, and I'll show you the goods,

                   So I rolled off my six-jointed knee,

                   And took off the floor!'

 

I'm still rather pleased with my sax solo in the middle - it's been a downward spiral for 50 years ever since! How nice to be 21 with everything still in front of you...

[Waddo Soqable]

Great fun @Gasman  👍 

I confess I was a teenage sax player for a bit too..

Wave your hands come on wave your hands

Someone let all those chimps at the typewriter, again

Son of my father

Molded, I was folded, I was preform-packed

Son of my father

Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac

Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts

Carmina Burana.

Do you mean the monks or Carl Orff or just the language? Great tunes though

[Waddo Soqable]

The Monkees? Boris Karloff?

Bernie Taupin’s (post bong) typewriter produced these. 
Enjoy the matchless Dee Murray’s bass playing whilst making sense of the lyrics.
