GUEST,Lone Stranger Absurdities in songs - any examples? (163* d) RE: Absurdities in songs - any examples? 19 Feb 07


Thanks all. Some great examples - keep em coming!

Muttley - you could be right but who cares about cold linen if your dead.

Question was not meant for grammatical errors but content LOL.

Songster Bob - True the question was about unintenional absurdities otherwise I could write ..

The elephant is a graceful bird
it flies from bough to bough
Lays its eggs up a rhubarb tree
and whistles like a cow

or

One fine day in the middle of the night
two dead men got up to fight
back to back they faced each other
drew their swords and shot each other

Similar lines in Oh Susannah

It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah dont you cry

Peace to all
