Music with catchy, corny, or strange lyrics

[Magnum Man]

heard this one by accident the other day, on satellite radio, in the truck, on outlaw country...

Baby we’ve been together for a long, long time
You get home from work and then we just turn out the lights
Lately I’ve been dreaming you in leather, me in lace
Let’s put up the teddy bears, and pull put the whip and chains
Give me weed instead of roses
Bring me whiskey instead of wine
Every puff, every shot, you looking better all the time
I don’t need a card from Hallmark
Box of candy has a note
Give me weed instead of roses
Let’s see where it goes
Honey you don’t have to worry
There ain’t no one else for me
Lately we have fallen under the same routine
I ain’t getting any younger, oh but you don’t seem to care
Let’s trade in the boxers from some sexy underwear
Give me weed instead of roses
Bring me whiskey instead of wine
Every puff, every shot, you looking better all the time
I don’t need a card from Hallmark
Box of candy has a note
Give me weed instead of roses
Let’s see where it goes
Let’s send the kids to grandma
And call in sick to work
Put on some heavy metal
Rip the phone off of the hook
Go call your no good brother
We both know what he’s been growing
I’ll be waiting with the whipped cream
And baby let’s get going
Give me weed instead of roses
Bring me whiskey instead of wine
Every puff, every shot, you looking better all the time
I don’t need a card from Hallmark
Box of candy has a note
Give me weed instead of roses
Let’s see where it goes
You pull out the Polaroid
And I’ll strike a couple ṗoses
Oh let’s get a little wild
Bring me weed instead of roses

"Mellow Yellow" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan.[7] Released in the US in 1966, it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.[8] Outside the US, "Mellow Yellow" peaked at No. 8 in the UK in early 1967.



SInce this is a fish site the song below is especially appropriate.

"Atlantis" is a song written and performed by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. Produced by Mickie Most for Donovan's seventh studio album Barabajagal (1969), the song tells of a mythological antediluvian civilization based on the fictional island mentioned in an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, with much of the verses spoken as a quiet monologue.

Well, I knew a lot of those songs but I'm trying to not get earwormed.

I guess I can't share youtube anymore, I guess it worked! This not the album version I knew. Lyrics from Disobedience, a poem by A. A. Milne (I didn't know that!). We loved Chad Mitchell Trio when I was a kid. John Birch Society is funny too, but even though it's old, maybe too political? A red scare song.

I've been pretty into this song lately. I think I'm going to have to learn it with my Celtic band. (I don't currently have a Celtic band, but I'm working on it...)

Sorry, I forgot to post this one. It has been recorded by a number of artists over time but I happen to like this version. Play it in Hi Def.

You folks should know better than to turn me lose in a thread featuring music. In the 1970s I was a partner in a sound company and we did all sorts of shows. I often did the mix. i also came of age in the 60s when the music revolution was amazing. The Beatles, Stones, Hendrix etc etc. My first concert was Jimi and the ticket cost $1.



And now for something completely different......

One of my all-time favorite fun songs.

Chucky was a great if immoral artist. Saw him in concert and the visuals were, hard to find a word.

A bit of Kingston Trio.

This song brings my memory back to a time when Linda and I, a couple of wet behind the ears visitors to Montreal, got completely lost with two young children who wanted to explore the subway system. Not only got lost but could not find our car till the next day.

This one's only 40 some odd years old - they were a good live band.

 

[Fishmanic]

This definitely qualifies
