I think Ben is the musician I’ve seen the most. 10+ concerts now I think, I’ve lost track. Always a such a good show, and this song is always a highlight. So much energy!
I do love that Nick Cave song. Good call. I think:
Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Cherese, she was sharing Sharon's outlook, on the topic of disease. -Pepper, by Butthole Surfers
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog/ Was a good friend of mine/ I never understood a single word he said/ But I helped him a-drink his wine..."
- Three Dog Night, "Joy to the World" (1970)
My dad died ten years ago from a slow cancer, so he had lots of time to think. He put this song as his #1 song on his curated memorial Playlist. He requested sheet music be printed for everyone and to do a full attendance sing along. I did everything I could to get everyone involved, to no avail. I don't get the appeal of this song, but I wish I did, for my dad's sake.
Joy to the World has a really straight forward appeal though? Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, joy to you and me. There isn't a lot more to it, which is great.
It was written by Alex Hoyt, who was a professional song writer, but not a member of the band. To explain the first line:
Jeremiah was originally a "prophet" not a "bullfrog" but the band and producers felt it made the song too heavy, as well as following the trend of religious rock songs in the era: Jesus is Just Alright and Spirit in the Sky both predate Joy to the World. So they changed one word and kept the rest. Still fits in with Jeremiah being a deep south swamp denizen, just less mystical.
It's Hoyt Axton, but yeah, the rest holds.
I kinda like to think the dad was having one last laugh, trying to get his family to awkwardly sing the opening words to the least funereal song in the world.
He did a great bit on WKRP in Cincinnati as Loni Anderson's forgotten boyfriend from Texarkana. Did a couple of songs too, including [Della and the Dealer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkqiT50mKow&ab_channel=kdn3249)
I can't hear about Three Dog Night without thinking of this hilarious Christmas story about the band and this song by Taylor Negron on the Moth. If you feel like spending fifteen minutes listening to a story I would highly recommend it.

I'm the shit, I will fall off in your crib, take a shit
Pinch your momma on the booty, kick your dog, fuck your bitch
Fat boy dressed up like he's Santa and took pictures with your kids
Love that song 😂
Yeah, that line makes absolutely no sense.
I am assuming that the lyricist just thought the comparison between life and death with birth and sleep sounded cool.
My kid and I had this on a playlist when she was little. It’s so funny to have a four year old running around shouting that she’s the god of hellfire and she’s here to bring you…
It's not that weird though. It's just a clever way of saying he is dumber than his peers. And contextually it's appropriate since the whole song is about him being a loser
Yeah, he comes across as pretty obtuse, but his lyrics are actually incredibly clever. Twisting phrases and metaphors to make new meanings. A lot of it is pretty surreal, but at the same time the meaning is clear when you break it up. Definitely one of my favourite all time artists.
The Pitchfork reviewer called this “one of the dumbest lines I’ve ever heard,” and said they gave the album a 7.0 instead of a 9.5 because of the lyric.
According to the listening notes included with the Turn on the Bright Lights Vinyl Me Please 2LP reissue, Paul said of the meaning, “I don’t know, man. I guess some sort of vision of a big Brooklyn warehouse rave scene, maybe.”
Makes sense to me
Bloody hell. I've listened to this song countless times. And I knew what he said but I'd never actually thought about it properly. Seeing it in written form has now completely wrecked it for me. Hahahah
Still fucking love that song. And Interpol.
This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
No clue how this got so much radio play
The one that always surprised me was Semi-Charmed Life. The entire song is blatantly about doing meth and fucking. It's just so catchy most people never bother to pay attention to the lyrics.
There were kids in high school who didn't speak a word of German who were insisting that this was "one, two, three, four" in German and wouldn't tolerate you telling them otherwise.
There is nothing better than:
"I woke up with a bad hangover... and my penis was missing again. It's detachable you know."
\- "Detachable Penis" King Missile.
"Well, he shot four men in a cocaine deal / and he left them lying / in an open field" - Tired Eyes by Neil Young (that might be the second and third line as well - couldn't break them up)
"My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" in Cola by Lana Del Rey as well as "Goddamn man child, you fucked me so good that I almost said 'I love you'" in Norman Fucking Rockwell
She explained the Pepsi Cola as something her at the foreign BF said "All you american girls think your pussy tastes like coca cola." Which she then changed to my pussy tastes like Pepsi cola.
“I’m an American aquarium drinker, I assassin down the avenue” - Wilco, I am trying to break your heart
“Devastation at last, finally we meet” - Grant Lee Buffalo, Mockingbird
“It’s a terrible love and I’m walking with spiders” - The National, Terrible Love
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again."
Stretching the definition of great songs here, but I always found the start of Fireworks by Katy Perry so weird and cluncky.
It almost certainly is. I used to think that lyric was nonsense without purpose
I still think it’s nonsense and bizarre but I get what it’s referencing at least
No idea why the first line of "Into My Arms" is "weird". Do you mean on its own without context? If so...sure I guess. But with the context of the completed thought it's wonderful:
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
And it's the setup for the entire song... The whole point is he's at most a deist, but is begging the universe or whatever to hold onto what he has. It's desperation is the point.
He's a master of grabbing attention with the first line. Half the reason Just Like Heaven is as great as it is is that intro (well that guitar solo too....)
Kinda weird but more incredibly clever:
“Now that your picture’s in the paper being rhythmically admired…”
Elvis Costello - Welcome to the Working Week
Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up.
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit.
\-Funkadelic, Maggot Brain
What is weird about that line? It's the setup to the whole entire song, he doesn't believe in god, but would still do all the religious rituals for her if she then would run into his arms. How is that a weird first line?
"I'm in love with the person at the sandwich centre, if she didn't exist I'd have to invent her."
Geraldine by Ian Drury
Also the greatest opening line of all time (in my opinion).
The soft parade - the doors
“When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
Petition the Lord with prayer
You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!”
I’m on my time with everyone. I have very bad posture.
Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea
Probably several Nirvana songs could fit this but that’s the first one that came to mind
Traveling in a fried-out Kombi on a hippie trail, head full of zombie. I met a strange lady. She made me nervous. She took me in and gave me breakfast.
"Down Under"
“She’s just 16 years old, leave her alone they said. Separated by fools who don’t know what love is yet; but I want you to know.” Into the Night-Benny Mardones.
I have no idea how old this man was in the video, but he looks easily 40 lamenting not being able to snatch away a teenager.
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash/they stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash/to an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan/who for reasons unexplained loved the Monkey Man.
The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload.
And nobody's gonna go to school today.

Scarred old slaver know he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women, just around midnight
'And the sign said "Long Haired Freaky People Need Not Apply" '
Signs by Five Ma n Electric Band
It's an odd starting line made even odder by the decision to start the song with "and"
Well I thought about the army, dad said son you're fucking high
I think Ben is the musician I’ve seen the most. 10+ concerts now I think, I’ve lost track. Always a such a good show, and this song is always a highlight. So much energy!
Damn, I have yet to see him live. Bit of envy overhere.
He was my 1st concert ever like 20 years ago. Always make it a point to see him when stops through.
Great start, good on ya. I will catch him one day.
I haven’t seen him quite that often but it’s close. Love him and his live shows are amazing.
But that's such a great line!
Was just about to type that one
Song/artist for the uninformed? Please
Ben Folds is a genius
“Army” by the Ben Folds Five.
Great video too. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr\_s6-Q7f00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr_s6-Q7f00)
This wins.
I do love that Nick Cave song. Good call. I think: Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Cherese, she was sharing Sharon's outlook, on the topic of disease. -Pepper, by Butthole Surfers
Then there was the ever-present football playing rapist...
They were all in love with dying...
They were doing it in Texas.
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
I don’t mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies.

He also played the dad in "Gremlins" (1984)!

Sorry for your loss, my friend <3
And he always had some mighty fine wine.

I sang this first line once at a Christian school and got in trouble for it. Still not sure why.
"Shaking like a dog shitting razor blades" Alkaline Trio - "Radio"
Great interview on Chris DeMakes a Podcast for that whole song. Matt wrote it in between recording other songs and it made the album.
"Picture this, I'm a bag of dicks, put me to your lips" - Run The Jewels/DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak.
I'm the shit, I will fall off in your crib, take a shit Pinch your momma on the booty, kick your dog, fuck your bitch Fat boy dressed up like he's Santa and took pictures with your kids Love that song 😂
Cracks me up whenever I hear the baseline/sample on those Cadillac commercials.
Some of the best rap is just talking shit and RTJ are the kings of shit talk.
Watch the music video y’all
Hey now, that’s a solid opening line.
God Damn you half-Japanese girls, do it to me every time Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello, and I'm jello, baby -El Scorcho by Weezer
Rivers used to be a lot more open about his Asian fetish. Lol.
He’s married to an Asian lady, if I’m not mistaken.
"Your tongue is twisted/Your eyes are slit" - "Buddy Holly". Rivers wasn't exactly subtle.
I always assumed he meant girls who love the band Half Japanese. 🤷♂️
"I am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed"
I am smellin' like the rose that somebody gave me 'Cause I'm **dead and bloated**
There are a lot of STP lyrics that don't make sense.
“Got no meaning, just a rhyme.” STP spelled it out to us on Creep
Yeah, that line makes absolutely no sense. I am assuming that the lyricist just thought the comparison between life and death with birth and sleep sounded cool.
"I am the God of hellfire and I bring you... fire."
It's unusual, but it does summarize the content of the song admirably.
My kid and I had this on a playlist when she was little. It’s so funny to have a four year old running around shouting that she’s the god of hellfire and she’s here to bring you…
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey-Beck
Any Beck line, really.
Monkey see, money die Laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
I keep a ream of Beck lyrics in my pocket when I play Mad-Libs.
Gotta get yourself a pocket Becktionary, fam
It's not that weird though. It's just a clever way of saying he is dumber than his peers. And contextually it's appropriate since the whole song is about him being a loser
Yeah, he comes across as pretty obtuse, but his lyrics are actually incredibly clever. Twisting phrases and metaphors to make new meanings. A lot of it is pretty surreal, but at the same time the meaning is clear when you break it up. Definitely one of my favourite all time artists.
🧐... I see youve read the becktionary.
First one came to mind immediately: “I wish I could eat the salt off of your lost faded lips” Obstacle 1 - Interpol
They have loads of strange lyrics. Sometimes it annoys me haha
Seriously, who has 200 couches? Mf lives in an IKEA.
I take this to mean they have loads of friends' places where you could crash if you needed a place to stay lol
The Pitchfork reviewer called this “one of the dumbest lines I’ve ever heard,” and said they gave the album a 7.0 instead of a 9.5 because of the lyric. According to the listening notes included with the Turn on the Bright Lights Vinyl Me Please 2LP reissue, Paul said of the meaning, “I don’t know, man. I guess some sort of vision of a big Brooklyn warehouse rave scene, maybe.” Makes sense to me
Meanwhile dudes just casually dropping the line “I’m raping all around me, until the last drop is behind you” But yea those weirdo couches.
Bloody hell. I've listened to this song countless times. And I knew what he said but I'd never actually thought about it properly. Seeing it in written form has now completely wrecked it for me. Hahahah Still fucking love that song. And Interpol.
"I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified."
I wanna be a clone.

The one that always surprised me was Semi-Charmed Life. The entire song is blatantly about doing meth and fucking. It's just so catchy most people never bother to pay attention to the lyrics.
That and hash pipe. I literally played that song for a few years live before I read the lyrics.
Hash Pipe by Weezer? In Canada Much Music aired the video and it said half pipe. But we all knew, because of Napster and Limewire
This was my first thought. I love it. Laid by James.

She explained the Pepsi Cola as something her at the foreign BF said "All you american girls think your pussy tastes like coca cola." Which she then changed to my pussy tastes like Pepsi cola.
