Love is like oxygen You get too much you get too high Not enough and you're gonna die Sweet
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!

Oooooo - got one. I only know it because we looked it up once because we couldn't figure out what they were saying.
"The grocery store, the super mart, uh huh, Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh. And men still keep on marchin' off to war, Electically they keep a baseball score."
Sonny and Cher, The Beat Goes on

And you get in your car and you drive real far And you drive all night and then you see a light And it comes right down and lands on the ground And out comes a man from Mars And you try to run but he's got a gun And he shoots you dead and he eats your head And then you're in the man from Mars You go out at night, eatin' cars You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too Mercuries and Subarus And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars Then, when there's no more cars You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet Face to face, dance cheek to cheek One to one, man to man Dance toe to toe Don't move too slow, 'cause the man from Mars Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall He's gonna eat 'em all

Ok, how about Chuck Berry's My Ding-A-Ling Song?
When I was a little biddy boy My grandma bought me a cute little toy Two Silver bells on a string She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling
When I was little boy In Grammar school Always went by the very best rule But Evertime the bell would ring You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling
Once while climbing the garden wall, Slipped and fell had a very bad fall I fell so hard I heard birds sing, But I held on to My ding-a-ling
Once while swimming cross turtle creek Man them snappers right at my feet Sure was hard swimming cross that thing with both hands holding my dingaling
Now this here song it ain't so bad Prettiest little song that you ever had And those of you who will not sing must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling

Alanis Morissette - Ironic

Everybody was kung fu fighting Dude, that's an awesome song. But that reminds me of this classic: Chinese people were fighting in the park We tried to help them fight, no one appreciated that Martin X was mad when they outlawed bell bottoms Ten years later they were sharing the same cell I shouted out, "Free the Expo '67" Till they stepped on my hair, and they told me I was fat Now I'm very big, I'm a big important man And the only thing that's different is underneath my hat
Purple toupee will show the way when summer brings you down (Purple toupee when summer brings you down) Purple toupee and gold lamé will turn your brain around (Purple toupee and gold lamé)
Purple toupee is here to stay after the hair has gone away The purple brigade is marching from the graveor, by the same artists: Put your hand inside the puppet head Put your hand inside the puppet head Put your hand inside Put your hand inside Put your hand inside the puppet head
Memo to myself: Do the dumb things I gotta do Touch the puppet head

Everybody was kung fu fighting Dude, that's an awesome song. It is a very catchy song but with incredibly silly lyrics. I have to admit I've never heard the Purple Toupee song. Should I be happy about that?

No. TMBG is special, in a good way. I have always found it interesting that if they come up with a great riff or some interesting musical statement they are willing to just make a 45 second track with that and let it stand on its own. No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful

Blinded by the light, Revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, Feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', Sneezin' and wheezin, The calliope crashed to the ground The calliope crashed to the ground
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the song with the funky break" And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride Asked me if I needed a ride
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone, that's where they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner, watching the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance The calliope crashed to the ground
and.....
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please
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
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
He roller-coaster he got early warning He got muddy water he one mojo filter He say "One and one and one is three" Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see Come together right now over me

Practically any song written by Straight Outta Junior High, Nerf Herder, Jonathan Coulton, etc. Also, a bunch of songs off the Wonder Years album Get Stoked On It are ridiculous (I Fell In Love With A Ninja Master, Bout To Get Fruit Punched Homie, Dude What Is A Land Pirate, etc.) Man, I could name off silly songs all day...

There's a giant doing cartwheels, A statue wearing high heels. Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn. A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens. Doo Doo Doo lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon? Doo, doo doo. Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.
Doo Doo Doo lookin' out my back door
Gotta love John Fogerty
