Say What???? - Updated
I was happily doing my 5K on the threadmill listening to Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl (I really do like Stefani), nice...............then she started singing the chorus:
Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Again, this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
This shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Ooookaaay, what der......was she looking at her own shit? Or did she just shit bananas? Then she goes on to spell B-A-N-A-N-A-S for us, good lar at least we know she can spell. Finally she end with
Oooh, this my Shit , this my Shit [4x]
Why is she telling us about her shit???? Unless.......she tinks her shit is a banana? Wah chia lat (delusional) lidat. Anyway, anarder Stefani song that really got to me is Hey baby, the entire song goes lyk dis
All the boys say
Hey baby,Hey baby hey
Girls say,Girls say
hey baby, hey baby hey
Hey baby baaaaaabbby,
Hey baby hey baby hey,
Boys say, boys say
Heybaby hey baby hey,
All the boys get the girls in the back
What???? Lidat oso can make into a song wor, but then if her shit can be a hit then I guess anything goes.
Of course this got my mind going, I've been meaning to blog about songs with really dumb lyrics since I heard this song.
Klymaxx's I Got A Meeting In A Ladies Room
I have got a meeting in the ladies room
I will be back real soon
I have got a meeting in the ladies room
I will be back real soon
First of all who the heck call for meeting in the toilet wan. And if you reli got meeting inside smelly toilet ah, just go liao lar, the song keeps on and on and on about going to the ladies room, it's as if they really have nuthin to sing about.
What was the artist smoking when they wrote these songs and put it on their CDs?
Lionel Ritchie:
Say you, say me; say it for always
Thats the way it should be
Say you, say me; say it together
Naturally
Huh? Apa (Wat) Lionel tokking about? He wanna say u then he wanna say me then he wanna say it together lagi. Alamak!
Backstreet Boys - Incomplete
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
How does one fill somebody up with holes??
Duran Duran (I'm looking for) Cracks in the pavement
Don't want to go in public
My head is full of chopstick I don't like it
First of all how come head can be full of chopstiks wan? Secondly if his head reli got chopstik of coz u won't lyk it lar, seow (crazy) meh?
Finally my all time favorite, Beach Boys - Kokomo. So lohmantik, first he wanna take me to Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahama, then he say
Off the Florida Keys there's a place called Kokomo
Der oni thing off der Florida Keys is water lar, lots and lots of it. Some more der oni place in the United States called Kokomo is in Howard County, Indiana, which is in der middle of der friggin heartland ler!!! Population according to 2000 census is 46,113.
Somemore he say "That's the place you wanna go to get away from it all", Google say Kokomo is about 1,407 miles off the Florida Keys, you reli tink you can hear the rhythm of steel drum band right in the middle of some cornfield ah?
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokomo,_Indiana
On the flip side, Just as there are songs that makes us go "Huh" there are also songs with such beautiful lyrics that it captures what you are feeling in your heart at the moment and you wonder "How did that singer know exactly what I am going through?" The better ones just touches you each and every time you listen to it
...............take this song by K.D. Lang and Roy Orbison, it has a no fail way of making me cry. Yea, yea I am kinda sappy...
Any of you have all time favorites like this? A song that when you close your eyes and listen, no matter where you are in life, it will always speak to you? This one just melts my heart......
39 orders:
I only know Lionel Richie's song. Last time we use to 'sing' this version:
Say you, say me
Say koh jit tao kha eh cheng khi...
(transration - wash another time oni can be clean)
:)
Oi Woman. I've got something for you here. I thought you've got it before but when I search search search your blog, I couldn't find it.
The worrying thing is that we dont know what subliminal messages there are in their songs!!
Below are another 2 empty dumb songs (of my generation) to add to your list. They keep repeating, like a broken record, liddat:
Beatles - Hey Jude
...then youll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.
Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...
Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...
Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...
Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...
Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...
(And they nana-ed on for a few minutes.)
KC & The Sunshine Band - That's the way I like it
Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh,
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Hahaha.. or you want to change to listen to Rihana-Umbrella ??
These days, anything goes...
when i was in my partying life then... when this song by stefani comes into play... we always make fun of the "it's my shit" part...
quite funny thinking about it.
Hahahaha, chiow kar see.
I don't listen to Gwen S and any of the singers except Lionel Richie. I do love his songs.
Aiyah, where you sang 'Say you, say me'?
It is 'Seng yu (save oil), seng bee (save rice)'. Know or not? :P
Hahaha! Thanks for the laughs, and to think some of these songs, like Lionel Richie's Say You, Say Me, and the Beatles' Hey Jude one that Victor pointed out, were the few I could sing along to!
Terrible, hor? But now that you highlighted it, I'd better watch what the songs are saying, if they are saying anything at all, even if it's catchy enough to hum along to!
This is so true... sometimes the lyrics don't make any sense... or even the tune. But they can be hits.
Wah! On treadmill somemore.. making me ashamed of myself.
yikes...how can anyone like so heart that Gwen Stefani songs one?? sorry me no fansi except for her dress style!!
What about this part?
I read a few times, still doesn't make sense:
---
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats
---
From Shakira
Everything I sing songs ar...I never really pay attention to the lyrics one. NO meaning also sing sing. Seldom would I really have the lyrics get processed in my brain. :-)

earthember: ya lor, especially the latest songs, but nevertheless those repetitive lyrics does stick in your head, hahaha, maybe that's what the artists are hoping for.
Laundryamah: Does that mean you like Harajuku clothing?

yenjai: You are right it doesn't make sense, wah you listen to Shakira, woooooo, btw what is the title of the song that these lyrics belong to?

Hahahaha....actually I always make fun of that song and this is what I sing instead, "To shit, eat bananas..B.A.N.A.N.A.S!" LOL...That rendition of Cry is my fave song and I like singing along to The Look Of Love too! :o)
wmw: Your "Broken Hearted me" was the one that sent me digging out all these songs, I absolutely loved that song that you posted. Looks like we got same taste.
The best is of course from Madonna:
Where life Begin
Now what could be better than a home cooked meal
How you want to eat it depends on how you feel
You can eat all you want and you don't get fat
Now where else can you go for a meal like that
It's not fair to be selfish or stingy
Every girl should experience eating out
Sometimes when I come home from a hard day at work
I swear it's all I can think about
Colonel Sanders says it best
"Finger lickin' good"
Let's put what you've learned to the test
Can you make a fire without using wood
Are you still hungry; aren't you glad we came
I'm glad you brought your raincoat
I think it's beginning to rain
So won't you go down where it's warm inside
Go down where I cannot hide
Go down where all life begins
Go down that's where my love is
Famil, lol, omg is she serious? I haven't heard this one before. You are right this one reli takes the cake :D
Good one I have to go to youtube to search for it.
Famil, I found it in Youtube, how did Madonna pull a song lidat off beats me, she made those absurd lyrics sound so sensual.
