> From: GUEST,guest > > A daft song is ridiculous when you think about it, but takes itself seriously. No, that's just a bad song. A daft song is one that is illogical, certainly lyrically, possibly melodically as well - that is, its lyrics contain non-sequiturs, unexpected juxtapositions of ideas, impossible situations, etc, but may still make some sort of idiotic sense. We've seen a few examples above, but I still think my suggestions are among the best. > So my orignial nominees were: > > Stand By Your Man Just a bad song. > Spirit in the Sky Not exactly outstanding lyrically speaking, but you obviously have no idea how much fun that was to dance to in the 70s. > Total Eclipse of the Heart Can't recall it so can't comment. > but I have to agree agree that MacArthur Park takes the cake. "Someone left the cake out in the rain" though. It's not that bad, but it's not that good either. And at least it has something of a decent tune.
