Dear flist, ye mighty repository of many informations -
I am in search of the most inane lyrics of all time. Bearing in mind that I don't listen to the Spin Doctors, and that I have never actually heard Macarthur Park, I would nominate these lyrics:
When I'm watchin' my tv
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be.
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn’t smoke
The same cigarettes as me.
Courtesy, of course, of the Rolling Stones, Satisfaction.
But surely someone somewhere has heard more inane lyrics. Do tell!

Her boyfriend
He don't know anything about her
He's too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that I could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week
And of course the Beatles "Yellow Submarine"

They're kind of like the Spin Doctors, but without the excuse of being on drugs afaik.

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
I'll tell you what I'll do - What will you do?
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school - Won't that be cool
Why go to learn the words of fools?

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
Make it last forever friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
Taking is too easy but that's the way it is
What do you think about that now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love are you for real
I won't be hasty, I'll give you a try
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye
Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want
So tell me what you want, what you really really want
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zig-a-zig ha.

Or is that a verb? Should I want to zig-a-zig ha?
I nearly shared an apartment with a Spice Girls fiend once. As you might imagine, it would have been an utter catastrophe.
From:
All your Spice are belong to us
I'm actually rather fond of them - at least their preR&B
From:
Re: All your Spice are belong to us
And removing every zig for great justice leaves us with A-Ha, best known for their own inane hit, "Take On Me".
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.
From:
Re: All your Spice are belong to us
What happen?
Somebody set up us the MTV!
We get signal.
What!
TV turn on.
It's you!!
How are you gentlemen!! I want my MTV. You are on the way to one-hit-wonderdom.
What you say !!
Your silliest single will survive for all time. a-Ha a-Ha a-Ha a-Ha....

His daddy was a rock star, named Pig Nugent.
Earned his Masters Degree, from Harvard College.
Built his house from his architect knowledge.
A tri-level mansion, Hollywood Hills.
Daddy's rock stardom, paid for the bills.
And then one day came the old house smasher
the BIG BAD WOLF THE LITTLE PIGGY SLASHER.
Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.
NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN!!

"Inane" or "insane"?
I've been leaving on my things
So in the morning, when the morning-bell rings
There's still dinner on my dinner
Jacket 'till the dinner bell rings
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am
What's gonna happen to Chesspiece Face
There go I, before my space
All I know could be erased
By the facts in the life of Chesspiece Face
Ha-Cha, where are you
Everybody's eyes are closed
I can't see, I miss you so
So Ha-Cha, where are you
... etc.

Re: "Inane" or "insane"?
Don't call me at work again.
No, no, the boss still hates me.
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore
And there's a restaurant we should check out
Where the other nightmare people like to go.
I mean nice people!
Baby, wait, I didn't mean to say 'nightmare'.
great stuff.

Re: "Inane" or "insane"?
I met someone at the dog show
She was holding my left arm,
But everyone was acting normal
So I tried to look nonchalant.
We both said I really love you,
The Shriners loaned us cars
We raced up and down the sidewalk
Twenty thousand million times.
Why did they send her
Over anyone else?
How should I react?
These things happen
To other people.
They don't happen at all
In fact.
When you're following an angel
Doesn't mean you have to
Throw your body off a building.
Somewhere they're meeting on a pinhead
Callin' you an angel
Callin' you the nicest things.
I heard they have a space program
When they sing you can't hear
There's no air

Sample:
Plant a seed, plant a flower,
Plant a rose, you can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
Oh, no one knows.
Quite apart from the chorus which is just noises. We had a pub crawl once where everyone was challenged to read out the whole song with a straight face. But actually, nothing can compare to the Spice Girls.

Can't remember the band. Early 80s. Maybe the Police?
It might be goo goo goo, gah gah gah, come to think of it. Hmmm.

That is the Police. Can't think of the name of it, though.
