Lyrics / Movies That Don't Make Sense??

OutlawPete

Just posted a video there on a thread and was singing along (as you do ) to the lyrics as I have always kinda liked the sing when I had that .. "huh " wtf momment??"

Song Lyrics:

Song: Bachelor Boy by Cliff Ricchard & The Shadows

Lyrics:

"As time goes by I propably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then I'll get married have a wife and a child
And they'll be my turtle doves.
But until then I'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way I'll stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dyin' day.
But until then I'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way I'll stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dyin' day."

Headwrecking lyrics or what :mad: .. which is it ffs??? :rolleyes:


Movies:

The number one thing that bugged me in a film ever was that f**king Bus Jump in Speed.

When I seen this in the cinema there was an audiable sniggering and mumbling from blokes, followed by the hushing sound from girls swooning over Mr Reeves :cool:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Tly-MJKkg

So anyway..

Do you have any songs where the lyrics don't make sense or movie plots that wrecked your nut and made you think WTF???

That_Guy

A T-Rex song.

"Rabbit Fighter":
"shady politician in my bed
tying bolts of lightning to his head
call me rabbit fighter you know it's true
'cos babe i'll rabbit fight all over you

tramp king of the city he's my friend
moondog's just a prophet to the end
call me rabbit fighter you knoiw it's true
'cos babe i'll rabbit fight all over you

i saw a dude unscrewed and badly turned
laughing
'cos he'd gotten what he'd earned
call me rabbit fighter you know it's true
'cos babe i'll rabbit fight all over you

call me rabbit fighter
jo jo don't you know?"

No idea.

OutlawPete

Oh and Beyonce's Single Ladies.

"If you want it, then you should'a put a ring on it".

The only way that would make sense is if you were refering to yourself (Beyonce) as "It".

As, why would someone want your finger?

No wait .. ohhh, I get it now

That_Guy

Oh and I forgot to mention one thing that bugged me in Mission Impossible.

When a car exploded in a car park full of cars, why did only one car blow up and the others remain perfectly untouched.

Surely a big blast like that would have a knock on effect.

You reminded me ..

In the movie Michael Collins it shows a Car Bomb outside Dublin Castle.

Appranetly this is complete fiction as car bombs weren't used for a good few years after that.

It sounds so deep, but no matter how much I think about it, I can only make the vaguest sense out of it.

Yeah, thought about that a few times myself.

Also, "Are we human, or are we dancers" is a little random. Makes perfect sense when drunk though

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(she’s got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face

She said in an interview that "muffin" refered to her vagina, if that's any help

Caught the Meg Ryan movie 'Kate & Leopold' a while back on TV and it's literally with plotholes too numerous to mention. Time travel + rom com = disaster. She even ends up bonking her great great grandfather.

It would wreck your head, they don't even try to make any sense in it.

Elizabethtown.....forced to watch it in the cinema years ago with my g.f



Why didn't they just release that album your doll gave orlando bloom, I could have just downloaded it on my g.f's ipod and I would never of had to watch that muck!

oh and I went to see 'it's complicated' tonight....should of renamed it 'it's disgusting watching people in the 60s kissing on massive cinema screens'


it's not so much that they don't make sense....they're just cr*p....I'm sure they made sense to someone

Procul Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale

We skipped a light fandango,
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.
I was feeling kind of seasick,
But the crowd called out for more.
The room was humming harder,
As the ceiling flew away.
When we called out for another drink,
The waiter brought a tray.

And so it was that later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said there is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see
That I wandered through my playing cards,
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast.
And although my eyes were open,
They might just as well have been closed.

And so it was later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.


The Beatles - I Am The Walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me
and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
you let your face grow long

I am the eggman
they are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Mr. city policeman sitting
pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
you let your knickers down

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English garden
waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
from standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Expert, texpert choking smokers
don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard
climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' goo
goo goo g' joob goo
juba juba juba
juba juba juba

From wikipedia-
On the band's official website, the biography section states that Flowers is singing "Are we human, or are we dancer?" and also says that the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson, where he stated America was raising "a generation of dancers".

Poor old Terence Trent doesn't know if he's coming or she's going:

Sweetheart listen,
I know the last few pages
Haven't been good for the both of us
And I've caused you a lot of grief
But put those bags down, o.k.?
Before you make a decision like that,
Please just listen to me
'Cos I don't want you to leave.
I definately don't want you to leave
Just hear me out.

Honey, don't leave me now
With my head on my shoulders wrong
Have I done something wrong for you to leave?
I know I've been careless, girl
And I must apologize
I'll try better next time, baby
If you let me stay

:pac:

Also, in MI3, a car explodes behind Tom Cruise, yet instead of being thrown forward by the blast, he gets belted to his left into another car. Looks shít cool but makes no sense so I hate it.

I always thought Scousers made little sense:

In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines,

So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine,

We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play.

(Trumpets play)

We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

(Full speed ahead, Mr. Barkley, full speed ahead!


Full speed over here, sir!
All together! All together!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Captain! Captain!)

As we live a life of ease(life of ease)
Every one of us(every one of us) has all we need,(has all we need)
Sky of blue,(sky of blue) and sea green,(sea of green)
In our yellow(In our yellow) submarine.(submarine) ( Haha! )

We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

Konata

Always found the chorus to MGMT - Kids to be a bit obscure:

Control yourself
Take only what you need from him
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from him

Dancing away to this song, and every single time, I'll just be thinking WTF am I singing?

One film that i just cant fathom is From Dusk Til Dawn. Id just love to see the pitch-

Director: Ok weve got a family hostage situation where George Clooney and Quentin Tarintino are mentally unstable criminals

Producer:Good good

So theyre driving through the desert to get out of the country using the family as human shields

P: Love it. What next?

Not actually sure but it has to be good right?

P: Your the boss. Heres your blank cheque

Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl

If I was a rich girl (na, na....)
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

This song annoys the **** outta me. You would have A LOT of money if you were a wealthy girl but why would you have all the money in the world? arggghhh

Bonehead on Noel writing Supersonic..

"Noel’s an unbelievable songwriter. He had all of these songs coming out of him. He’d be sitting in the corner in the studio with his guitar and say, “I’ve written a new song”. He did that with Supersonic. “He’s going, “I’m feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic” and there was this dog called Elsa in the studio: “I know a girl called Elsa, she’s into Alka-seltzer...” and Alan McGee (Creation Records boss) goes, “Right, that’s your first single”

Biffy fukn Clyro 'Mountains' song, no you are not a mountain no are not the sea, hate these lyrics more than anything, worked in a factory in Melbourne and at least 8 times a day i had to listen to him telling me he is a mountain and he is the sea, I would have done time to injure his larynx.


I took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.

I took a drink out of the ocean and I'm treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.

'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.

I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there's an end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.

Stupid Film that makes no sense?
Anything with Kate Hudson in it usually....specifically
The Skeleton Key
This "Horror" film has more holes than the red light district in Amsterdam.
I think its one of those films thats so bad you kind of have to watch it once just to see.
The mental thing is I was talking horror films with a group of people a few years ago and one dozy bitch said it was the scariest film she had ever seen. Tool.

Oh, I forgot to add...The Never Ending Story 2,
Donnie Darko 2.
I wish they would stop making sequels to films that shouldn't have them
how about .....Driving Miss Daisy 2

No, i think it's more likely that they heard a college was teaching a course on their lyrics, shrugged their collective shoulders and took a load of acid! The reason a lot of song lyrics dont make sense is because the writers are out of their heads writing them!

No matter though, it's still a great song

Captain Havoc

The lyrics to any Duran Duran song don't make any sense.

A couple of Stanley Kubrick films make no sense to me.

Oh and who ever mentioned Michael Collins earlier, there's a load of things in that film which are inconsistant with historical fact.

In Hollywood trucks always explode must be something in the diesel
