On That Note - Goo Goo G'Joob

Ray Charles was very big when I was at ISU and this is What I'd Say Part 2:



I don't know how much of the "nonsensical lyrics" in this next song is due to me not understanding the vernacular, poor recording, or my genetic hearing impediment but I liked Flip Flop and Fly by Big Joe Turner anyway:



A little weak because it's only one word, Day-O, that's repeated but here is Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat Song:

 
Can you surry, can you picnic?
Can you surry, can you picnic?
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic

This made up word is used like 25 times in the song.

When asked by producer Charlie Calello what the word meant, (Laura) Nyro told him, "Oh, it's just a nice word."
:rolleyes:



And now in a good mood, cause this happy song. :)

I can't see the album Good night Vienna without thinking of Ringo singing that song--ah, huh huh. It all comes down da da da da to Goodnight Vienna.

This one is pretty much full of gibberish as he sings the chorus as an auctioneer:



Speaking of auctioneers this is a funny compilation:



Love these guys music but may be one of the dumbest songs they have recorded



Speaking of the ORB this one came to mind while typing this too

"Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue
Can't, can't you see my love is true
I want to ma-ma-ma-ma-marry you
Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue"
