Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a gypsy queen

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle all dressed in green

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle ’til the moon is blue

Wiggle ’til the moon sees you

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle in your boots and shoes

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, you got nothing to lose

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a swarm of bees

Wiggle on your hands and knees

Wiggle to the front, wiggle to the rear

Wiggle ’til you wiggle right out of here

Wiggle ’til it opens, wiggle ’til it shuts

Wiggle ’til it bites, wiggle ’til it cuts

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead

Wiggle—you can raise the dead

Wiggle ’til you’re high, wiggle ’til you’re higher

Wiggle ’til you vomit fire

Wiggle ’til it whispers, wiggle ’til it hums

Wiggle ’til it answers, wiggle ’til it comes

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like satin and silk

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a pail of milk

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, rattle and shake

Wiggle like a big fat snake

"Why can't this be love" - Van Halen

"… And only time will tell
If we stand the test of time"

Very profound statement.

Probably Kamala's favorite lyric.

Any "song" by Beyoncé and her army of 39 writers per song.

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I got my 45 on
So I can rock on

Not that I'm a big Sheryl Crow fan, but to get all the way through a perfectly reasonable song and end with this

From one of the GOAT songs:

"The movement you need is on your shoulder"


Just like most lyrics...its debatable and subjective...but to me, it reads like "Don't wait to be the change you want to see...do it yourself." aka - the movement you need is on your shoulder. Since The Beatles were all "change the world with love" and such...

But honestly, who the hell knows...

Paul says when they got into the studio he wanted to change it but John said "No! That's the best line in the song."

Plus Paul had already used shoulder in different line earlier in the song.

The story continues after John said he loved that line. Paul said he doesn't even know what it means. John says it means exactly what you said.. "the movement you need is on your shoulder"

Which didn't answer Paul's question and doesn't make any sense.

John had probably just shot up some heroin.

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
so happy together

the bolded part always bothered me. it's saying the same thing twice.

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!

Any Maroon 5 song.


I think "Sugar" is a really fun little pop tune. Gets me dancing in my seat.

Then these completely ludicrous lines drop:

I want that red velvet
I want that sugar sweet
Don't let nobody touch it unless that somebody's me
I gotta be a man, there ain't no other way
'Cause girl you're hotter than the Southern California Bay


It's so direct and jarring that it completely takes me out of the song for a few seconds to laugh. Also, nobody associates bays with California unless they're talking about the Bay Area. Which isn't hot at all. They could be talking about the Santa Monica Bay I guess but that's not that hot either (whole area is moderate Mediterranean). If I were a chick I'd be moderately offended that this dude couldn't find anything hotter to compare me to than a room temperature body of water.

Just replacing "bay" with "day" would be better. Still stupid but better.

I can barely understand any of the other lyrics in this song so they might all be hot garbage for all I know, but this line is something else.

Keep in mind that taken out of context and printed out even the best rock lyrics will often look like sixth-grade doggerel. They were designed to be sung, not printed out and read.

There's a bro country song out there that used to play on the radio with this lyric:

girl you make my speakers go boom-boom.

Even printed out, these lyrics don't bother me that much

I suppose b/c they're written in the old Tin Pan Alley form, psychedelic imagery notwithstanding

"Look at this photograph,
Every time I do, it makes me laugh.
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?"

You'd expect that to be written by some giggling teenage girls, not some grown-arse alt-rock band.

Rolling Stones - Sparks Will Fly. I never understood why it would make sharks cry.

Sparks will fly
When I finally get myself back on you, baby
Ooh, I'm gonna step on the gas
I want to get there really fast
Ooh, I wanna frick your sweet arse
Sparks will fly
Sharks will cry
Sparks will fly
