The song I find ridiculous is that one -- think Dean Martin sang it -- about "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore". It sounds more like the beginning of a Lewis Carroll poem - "Oh the moon was like a pizza pie" etc. A decidely male sentiment indeed -- "You know honeybee, just looking at the moon has made me hungry. Why don't we nix this boring walk on the beach and swing by Franco's?"

Is an all-dressed pizza moon or a plain cheese and tomato moon best for pursuing affairs of the heart?

Personally I think the moon looks more like a big potato chip (crisp to those of you in the UK) but I suppose Big Pringle's Potato Chip didn't scan.

I think "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" must rank up there with serious but idiotic songs.

Then there are country-and-western songs, and some of those songs recorded by all-girl bands in the early sixties. "Johnny Get Angry".
