Songs That You Never Understood

[Passport1]

Even with the lyrics this makes no sense unless you are from the way back. 1900 Yesterday? Got a song like that too?

Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harem made absolutely no sense to me.

I love this song! The b side of the 45 “You’re Falling in Love” is good too. I’m thinking the song is about a girl who misses her lost love and dreams of going back to the past when she was still in her relationship. I have a Hawaiian pressing and a US pressing of the album.

"I Am The Walrus" by the Beatles. WTH? Acid trip is all I can figure.

Scott

That song makes perfect sense if you've eaten a sugar cube....

Only The Rutles can answer that question

If anyone can make sense of this then let me know.

Incense and Peppermints-Strawberry Alarm Clock.

If you can make sense of this train wreck, you might be worse off than the guy singing it..... And this was before Meth got popular.

Muskrat Love by The Captain and Tennille .

And while you're at it how about any of these by Sir Paul, Obla Di Obla Da, Rocky Racoon, Maxwells Silver Hammer, Martha My Dear, Let Em In.

While the music was ok I always found their lyrics were non sense even for the time.

Paul had a way with words.

Back in the 70’s Paul McCartney and Wings played one of the first concerts held in the new Kingdome in Seattle. From someone who went, the show was a success. Nobody could understand anything in that giant concrete dome but well over 60,000 attended.

That place was horrific.

That’s a great song.

I always thought Let Em In was about asking God to allow our passed loved ones into Heaven.

I prefer the b side of that 45, “King of the Surf”.

 

[Silver]

90's grunge.

I used to blast it but know it makes me puke. How could I have been such a tool. Don't answer please...

Could be but I think the people he names in the song were still alive at the time.

Sister Suzy, brother John
Martin Luther, Phil and Don
Brother Michael, Auntie Jin

Now who these people are referring to is all over the place.

Anything RHCP

It sounds like Buddy Holly in a way with the surf beat of course.

 

[PimTac]

This song qualifies. It’s a great song but I have no idea what the lyrics mean.
