4 pages and no-ones mentioned Midnight At The Oasis.

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

Heaven's holding a half moon
Shining just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune real soon
Kick up a little dust

Come on the cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'till the evening ends
'till the evening ends

You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer
Prancer and you can be my sheik

I know your daddy's a sultan
A nomad known to all
With fifty girls to attend him
They all send him
Jump at his beck and call

But you won't need no harem
honey
When I am by your side
And you won't need no camel
No no when I take you for a ride

Come on the cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on 'till the evening ends
'till the evening ends

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads

I always think of American Beauty when I hear that lyric.

`Move Like Jagger` Maroon 5; who wants to `move like jagger`? And didn`t Keisha have some line about Jagger in `Tick Tock`? Okay I`m a man but sexiness and Mick Jagger at 180 or whatever is NOT sexy attracitve or lithe!

Forgotten some classics--`This is as serious as cancer/rythym is a dancer`

Duran Duran--`you`re about as easy as a nuclear war` on Is There Something I Should Know?`

The whole of David Bowie`s `Life on Mars`

Frank Zappa - Muffin Man

The muffin man is seated at the table
in the laboratory of the utility muffin Research kitchen.
Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon,
he gathers an Intimate quantity of dried muffin
remnants and brushing his scapular aside,
Procceds to dump these inside of his shirt...
He turns to us and speaks:

"Some people like cupcakes better.
I for one care less for them!"

I don't think it's obvious. Dr Luke and Claude Kelly were given the nicknames by Jessie J so they're not names you'd know them by. I always thought it was just odd!

Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches - Peaches - Stranglers
(of course it is rude but peaches grow on trees)

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

The rest of the lyrics are odd too

The Calendar Song - the lyrics are just months of the year

Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
'cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

Everytime people say this is a bad lyric I always wonder why. Plastic bags do drift through the wind, and when they finally end up in a tip, about to be incinerated (Toy Story 3 style ) I reckon they probably would want to start again tbh.

So the gauntlet has been thrown down: why do people think this is a bad lyric? Quite frankly I'm intrigued.

ETA: Well it could be a 'strange' lyric but it's no stranger than a lot of metaphors are. So what?

those arent actual lyrics to the song. it's just like how in gagas earlier stuff when she worked with redone she would always say redone in the beginning or how akon always says knovict or the dream says radiokilla. they arent lyrics, just advertisement

Unfortunately that is a bloody Beatles record! The truly dreadful 'Don't Pass Me By' from the White Album. Mind you, Ringo wrote it....

I'd day enjoy, but...ugh.

CBA to read every post but here's my contribution from Avenue D, hopefully it hasn't already been posted:

2D2F (Too Drunk to F**k):

way to go sh**head, you did it again
now I'm stuck with my fingers and a ballpoint pen
talked a lot of s**t, acted like a pimp
but I come home with you and what? it's limp?

drinking mickey's, st.ides, high life, corona
what good is it if you can't pop a boner?
I don't care if you can't come
but it better be hard until I'm done
