    Nonsense Lyrics

    So yeah, this category – we all have songs we like that make absolutely no sense whatsoever! Be it the subject matter, the way someone sings a song or even the words themselves just being a jumble of nonsense. We actually had a couple of duplicates in this category which is good for some and not so good for others… but the end product is that the bottom place will earn 4 points this time out.

    As for myself, here are a few songs I’d have considered entering for this category…

    Dragostea Din Tei – O-Zone

    It may be in a foreign language but you can tell they are talking absolute nonsense the whole way through. That being said, damn it’s catchy.

    I’m On A Boat – The Lonely Island feat. T-Pain

    The lyrics aren’t really nonsensical here but the way they are sung makes it a viable song for this category imo. I know it’s a comedy song or whatever but for me, it fits.

    The Safety Dance – Men Without Hats

    Another track that just makes no sense. What exactly is safe about the dance?

    And for the lols, I added a fourth bonus one I thought of while doing the write up…

    My Lovely Horse – Father Ted Crilly & Father Dougal Maguire

    We have to lose that sax solo!!

    I might be slightly delayed with the reveal trying to currently get out of a zoom meeting… sometimes people don't stop talking though..😫



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 58,437 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Nope… I'll turn my video off and carry on though… nobody tell on me!

    Anyways onwards – to the rankings!!!

    In 18th place with 7 points

    Mollyb60

    Prisencolinensinainciusol - Adriano Celentaro

    I noticed a comment on YouTube for this video which has a ring of truth to it… I’d erm… imagine.

    “When you’re sober, you enjoy the music. When you’re high, you understand the lyrics.”

    It was grand. I can’t see myself coming back to it mind you.

    Irish Aris

    Topless Mother – Nadine Shah

    The idea of a topless mother being hidden inside my mind is… well it may be apt. I didn’t like the chorus of this though, it was just noise to me unfortunately so it ended up here.

    Oh... lyrics that don't make sense? I thought you meant lyrics that literally didn't mean anything 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,398 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Well, you may not have liked @Irish Aris 's song but it definitely fits the category! 🤣🤣

    I'ts bizarre 🤔

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,863 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    For ages I was like "who, other than Sigur Ros, sings lyrics that mean nothing...?" 🤣

    Then I remembered another band who sing in an invented "language"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,398 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    I think the Coronas are a bit like that. I love them but I gave up trying to figure out their songs. I just listen now and not try think too much 😅

    Necro must be posting the rest of the reveal in the zoom chat



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,011 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    I totally misread the brief for this one 😂

    I should have gone with something from the smurfs album

    I thought it was like weird noises instead of lyrics 😂

    Suvigirl

    Igowallah – Daniel Thrasher

    This is basically how I think that rap sounds to non-English speakers! They must think that this lad and the like are just jabbering absolute and utter rubbish! It didn’t move the needle much for me either, that being said.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,011 ✭✭✭StrawbsM


    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I played a few seconds of this and my dog is making those wtf motions with his head 😂

    In joint 13th with 10 points

    Kolido, Sephiroth_dude & wrestlemaniac

    Blue (Da Ba Dee) – Eiffel 65

    I used to think that the chorus was ‘I’m Blue and in need of a guy’ as a young fella which I found hilarious for reasons I can no longer accurately describe. It hasn’t really aged well to be honest, unlike some classics like ‘What Does The Fox Say’ :P I no longer have any grá for this track to be honest. But it fits the brief in being completely and utterly nonsensical.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,398 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    🤣🤣 I love that @suvigirl I can't figure out if it's a piss take or if it's actually a real song 🤣

    Rikand

    Cappadocia – Ben Bohmer

    This was a nice detour away from the typical songs entered. You don’t see much house music entered into Walrus so it’s always good to be reminded it exists! Maybe I should do a dance music category for Walrus next time, it’s definitely an area I need more of an education in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,960 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Love it 🫂

    And Cappadocia That's not nonsense though @Rikand it's dance music .

    In fact can I withdraw mine now please ? 🙈 I misunderstood this totally I think

    Electric Nitwit

    Sapphire – Alcest

    Liked the music here. It’s a bit slow to get going mind and I can barely hear what the lads are saying with the distortion. I think this with a bit quicker tempo might have scored higher but I don’t necessarily dislike this version either.

    Honestly nearly picked this myself, still don't know the lyrics or if they actually mean anything. But I do love this song!
