But guest, WE are daft so we don't make such distinctions.

I still think MacArthur Park is it, but, depending on your definition of daft, how about The Bird Is The Word or maybe Having My Baby?

Now that you're mine, It's a quarter past nine,
I think it is bedtime don't you.
She rose from the chair, took off her false hair,
Her white pearly teeth came out too.
One leg made of wood, one eye was a dud,
]Her nose she began to unscrew.
And I cried with dismay as her breasts fell away.
Am I wasting my time on you.

Guess he must have been blind or daft not to notice before making her his!!!

Bird Is The Word

Nothing could be dafter than that song.

Nah. "Having My Baby" and "MacArthur Park" are just lousy songs - not really daft.

But THIS one is totally daft:

Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense, Peppermints" - which was conceived simply by consulting a rhyming dictionary:


"Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind,
Dead kings, many things I can't define,
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind,
Incense and peppermints, the color of time.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around.

Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah!

To divide this cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do.
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new.
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view.

Who care what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothin' to lose.

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define.
Occasion, persuassions sclutter your mind

Incense and peppermints
Incense and peppermints

Having thought about it some more... perhaps this would take some beating..

And did those feet in ancient times walk upon Englands mountains green? No
And was the Holy Lamb of God in Englands pleasant pastures seen? No
And did the Countenance Divine shine forth upon those clouded hills? No
And was Jerusalem builded here, among those dark satanic mills? No

Ha- ha daft :
While you're in the Mexican Proper
And wearing a bowler or topper
Be careful or you'll come a cropper
For in Mexico they dance on your hat

Plain daft :
Ye faketh olde lyrics of virtually any Christmas carol composeth during the Victorian era , but especially the "Hither page and stand by me /if thou knowest telleth" verse in Good King Wensaslaus

I've been looking for the name of the following song and singers for a l000ng time. It was popular in the the early 1960s. Had to do with NASA space flights or maybe sex. Lyrics could be interpreted both ways. HA. Here is a lie of lyrics near as I can remember. Song by girl singers.

"It's a long way to splash down."

Disco sounding beat.

Anybody know???

Thanks!

How about the Nonsense Song? A wonderful camp song.

That site has the lyrics of the last line wrong, though– should be "Paderewski blow your horn (toot toot!)"
