What's the most stupid song lyric?

As far as I can see it's this from Thin Lizzy:

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town

'Somewhere in the town? Perhaps try the jail?

Anyone got any other contenders for pitiful logical obscenities in pop songs. Obvious gibberish like 'The Reflex' by Duran Duran is out. These have got to be songs that are meant to make sense.

Hey, I did that bit on stage Sunday before last. Were you in the crowd, Godot?

You realise Godot is your girlfriends online nickname, right . . ?

Nothing compared to most mordern songs, they just make no sense - try listening to tiny tempers song, they're going to make a parody but I don't see it being as funny as the original to be honest.

Seriously? I go out only marginally more often than Leevil. I wasn't there.

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains

Shakira - Whenever, wherever.

Yeah that's good. (in the sense bad, obviously)

But do you mean bad in the modern sense, that means good?

Actually I meant the german for 'Bath'.

Great song but I've never understood the dilemma in the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go Now"

If he goes there will be trouble but if he stays it will be double, so surely going is the obvious answer as it results in 50% less trouble, not exactly rocket science.

For super serious! I fake played a Guitar Hero guitar to it and everything. Just ask Sara Pascoe!

If the Proclaimers walked five hundred miles then walked the same distance again, wouldn't they roll right off the edge of Scotland whichever direction they were headed? Unless maybe they were planning on doubling back on themselves. Any Geographers care to help me out?

Well, she never comes either!

Yeah well I think the fact that it's on Iggy's radio station in GTA 4 might have something to do with it...

I didn't know you were doing a turn - I thought you just introduced the acts and collected glasses or something. Got anything online? (preferably without a guitar)

Much as I love Mr Ferry "rhododenron is a nice flower" always cracks me up.

I don't want to see a ghost, it's the sight I fear most, I'd rather have a piece of toast, watch the evening news - Des'ree

Surprised this wasn't the first response, or am I just too obvious.

They never said they were walking in a straight line.

They went round in circles like a brain damaged pigeon.
