Son needs songs for school project that make no sense

[mamagardener]

Quote:
Who let the dogs out was his favorite song when he was little. He used to make me play that song over and over again. Now though he thinks he is too cool for it

Quote:
also covered in Snopes and the Straight Dope.
(BTW, The Straight Dope is a great trivia resource; a friend of mine has edited it for over 20 years).

Louie Louie, me gotta go
Louie Louie, me gotta go

Fine little girl she waits for me
Me catch the ship for cross the sea
I sail the ship all alone
I never think I'll make it home

(chorus)

Three nights and days me sail the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair

(chorus)

Me see Jamaica moon above
It won't be long, me see my love
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I never leave again

So that is what he is saying. I always thought nobody knew what he was saying in that song.

Roger Miller wrote and recorded one that would probably fit the bill


You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd but you can be happy if you've mind to
You can't take a shower in a parakeet cage can't take a shower in a parakeet cage
Can't take a shower in a parakeet cage but you can be happy if you've mind to
All you gotta do is put your mind to it knuckle down buckle down do it do it do it
Well you can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool
You can't go swimmin' in a baseball pool but you can be happy if you've mind to

You can't change film with a kid on your back
Can't change film with a kid on your back
Can't change film with a kid on your back but you can be happy if you've mind to
You can't drive around with a tiger in your car
Can't drive around with a tiger in your car
You can't drive around with a tiger in your car but you can be happy if you've mind to
All you gotta do is put your mind to it knuckle down buckle down do it do it do it
Well you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd but you can be happy if you've mind to
You can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch
You can't go fishin' in a watermelon patch but you can be happy if you've mind to
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd but you can be happy if you've mind to

I CAN NOT believe no one has posted the llama song... Here is the video and here are the lyrics

here's a llama
there's a llama
and another little llama
fuzzy llama
funny llama
llama llama
duck

llama llama
cheesecake
llama
tablet
brick
potato
llama
llama llama
mushroom
llama
llama llama
duck

i was once a treehouse
i lived in a cake
but i never saw the way
the orange slayed the rake
i was only three years dead
but it told a tale
and now listen, little child
to the safety rail

did you ever see a llama
kiss a llama
on the llama
llama's llama
tastes of llama
llama llama
duck

half a llama
twice the llama
not a llama
farmer
llama
llama in a car
alarm a llama
llama
duck

is THIS how it's told now?
is it all so old?
is it made of lemon juice?
doorknob
ankle
cold
now my song is getting thin
i've run out of luck
time for me to retire now
and become a duck



The video has the lyrics posted on it as it sings and it has more verses:

Quote:
"Saturday...In the Park" by Chicago. It was my high school band's theme song.

OOPS--"MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith
His name is my name too.

Whenever we go out,
the people always shout
"There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith"
da-da-da-da-da-da-da

repeat endlessly



--or--

Do your ears hang low
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?

Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?



--or--
anything by Flogging Molly

here is another one,I realy like this song.
Rolling In The Deep by Adele

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.

Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare,
See how I'll leave with every piece of you,
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.

The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can't help feeling,

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared,

The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
I can't help feeling,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside of your hand,
But you played it with a beating.

Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown.

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all.
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
It all, it all, it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me

But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.
