Moving in Stereo
The Cars

Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you
It's so easy to blow up your problems
It's so easy to play up your breakdown
It's so easy to fly through the window
It's so easy to fool with the sound
It's so tough to get up
It's so tough
It's so tough to live up
It's so tough on you
Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you
Life's the same I'm moving in stereo
Life's the same except for my shoes
Life's the same you're shakin' like tremolo
Life's the same it's all inside you
 
I can't be the only one who hears Moving In Stereo and thinks of Phoebe Cates.... :rolleyes:

Lots of weird lyrics in Cars songs. (I was a big Cars fan growing up.) Ric Ocasek liked to get surreal with his lyrics.
 


I found one!

50 Ways to Say Goodbye - Train


She'll think I'm Superman
Not super minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?
 


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Around the World

I know I know for sure
Ding dang dong dong ding dang dong dong ding dang
I know I know its you
Ding dang dong dong ding dang dong dong ding dang
 
We were at a party
His earlobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam
Rock rock
Rock lobster
Down, down
Lobster rock
Lobster rock
Let's rock!
Boy's in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'
Twistin' 'round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun
Put on your noseguard
Put on the Lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter
Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dog-fish
Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
 
The whole song, but it was a good one.


One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head





 
I haven't listened to it in awhile, but it always set my imagination off !

A Whiter Shade of Pale
Procol Harum
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda 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
But 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 have just as well've been closed

Talking Heads. Nothing but Flowers. Got to be the strangest lyrics ever but I'm a fan. what can I say?

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers
There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
We got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
You've got it, you've got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
You've got it, you've got it
Years ago
I was an angry young man
And I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
You've got it, you've got it
This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
You got it, you got it
I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
You got it, you got it
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
You got it, you got it
I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
You got it, you got it
We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
You got it, you got it
This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
You've got it, you've got it
Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

 
Pink Floyd.
We don't need no education.

Oh YES you do.

The Cars. I don't mind you coming here, and wasting all my time. Cuz when you're standing oh so near, I kind of lose my mind...
What? Someone's mere presence drives you insane and wastes all your time and you don't mind?

Clay Aiken. I would be the smartest man, if I was invisible.
If only your lyrics could be invisible.

Toby Keith.
Red Solo cup, you're not just a cup, you're my friend.....
Hey Toby. Do me a favor. Keep that kind of stuff to yourself.

Eminem.
Love is Evil, spell it backwards I'll show ya.
We don't need no education..........

Nicki Minaj.
When I was a geisha, he was a samurai, Somehow I understood him when he spoke Thai.
He must have been a well travelled samurai. Yeah. Let's just throw random far eastern stuff in a song.

Drake.
Tuck my Napkin in my shirt cuz I'm just mobbin like that.
Must have been from that scene in the Godfather that ended up on the cutting room floor.
Michael my son.. Remember when you kill Solozo, tuck your napkin in your shirt. Cuz we just mobbin like that.

REM.
Well you'll just have to listen to this one. Too many to even write.

Dean Martin.
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore.
It was at Rico's pizza. The moon hit my eye just like the pizza pie my date threw in my face, and thats when I knew... MMMMMagic. She's the one.
Um no dean. When you're down by the sea and an eel bites your knee that's a moray.
.......
.......
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay Like a gay tarantella
Seeing as how I've never seen a gay tarantella or heard a heart play tippy tippy tay, I'll have to take your word on that one.

By the way kids, when grandma hands you that line about how bad your music is and it's not like the great music of yesteryear well you just break out with
WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE LIKE A BIG PIZZA PIE.... And start laughing at her.
