sung by musicians who are either too high, drunk, or exhausted
to make sense. Or maybe the engineering was just poor.
Case in point: Jimi Hendrix (‘Scuse me, while I kiss this guy!).
Or Louie Louie. Or basically anything by Bob Dylan.
6> Bee Gees: “Whether you’re a lawyer or whether you’re a broker
You’re going to going to lie, going to lie
California’s shakin’ and all the places breakin’
And your going to die, going to die.”
5> Madonna: “Lie, cover gin. Drunk for the very first time.”
4> Rogers & Hammerstein: “Dough! Oh, dear! A fee, mailed here?”
3> The Beatles: “Hey, Jew, go make a pad.
Take Assad’s home, and make it better.”
2> R.E.M.: “That’s me, a coroner.
That’s me in a spa, right!
Lou’s in my division.”
Heroin now, intra-venous!
I feel stew fed and contained, just
Hear me out — Now, intern, train us!”
