I prefer lyrics that carry a message, that inspire us to be better people.

Back in the fifties Teresa Brewer recorded such a song. It was all about a young lady named Belinda Onlique who caught the Devil's eye. It was called "Pickle Up a Doodle" and I'll just quote the chorus.

With a ho double hoop shaw
Riggle laba dope and the
Doodle and the daddle
And the puff of my smoke
And the heaping and the huffing
And the chicken and the choking
And the pickle up a doodle
In the middle of the day.

They wrote sensible songs back in my day. Not like that trash Justin Beaver sings. This one was recorded by Frank Sinatra.

"Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la
Check-a-la romey in a bananika
Bollika, wollika, can't you see
Chickery chick is me?"

This old classic was called Mairzy Doats

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?
Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

They don't write 'em like they used to.

Fortunately.

How does a kidely dividy doo wouldnt you have any meaning what so ever
Report as
There you go, Jazon. I'll give you a little bit more of the song and you'll see that it did mean something.

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
a little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy"

Still on top form, I see, Dozy ... I'd forgotten Teresa Brewer..

Great post!

I used to call a square dance set to Pickle Up a Doodle -- but fortunately I only needed an abbreviated verson of what Teresa sang. It's as fast as one of the G&S patter songs.

That's another one from that era -- probably 1920s. I'd forgotten it but now you'll probably have me humming it all day. (Yesterday I couldn't get Pickle Up a Doodle out of my head.)

No, Lily. It was some troll who was stalking me. He registered the user name Dozy. (that is, Dozy with a period) and when I flagged him Eric changed his name to numer1dozyfan, which shot him down. We haven't heard from him since.

Ok, can you pose a harder question? What I mean is there are so many good songs, it's hard to decide. I'll just put whatever's on the top of my head. "Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully, now watch as it destroys me..." AFI the leaving song part 2

A good lyric by a fellow zamorakian once hummed and sung to me "
We see goblins with their bronze, but unlike guthix we have rune and fight for honor, even if it's a KING black dragon or just a baby blue, us true warriors fight until the end"

It was a deep thought lyric, bravo. Cheers mortals

"I'm not in love" by 10cc - The lyrics say one thing, but have a subtext of just the opposite. A beautiful contradiction like love itself sometimes.

"King of pain" by the police - A song that hints at a person's torment inside.

"elderly woman behind the counter in a small town" by Pearl Jam (or anything by pearl jam, really) - a sweet song of longing and bittersweet memories.

Very prolific song lyrics there. I have listened to all three of these songs very much, because I am old. I must ponder this now... Okay, I'm done pondering. I relate to king of pain the most.

Good morning momo, it is a big day for America, sad since we're commemorating a tragedy. There are those things which we can celebrate, too: The heroic efforts of the first responders and those aboard flight 93, etc... those things do bring joy to the heart. Thank you for your sentiment. : )

@disfiguredskating: Easily the best lyrics ever. I threw those others in just for the heck of it, but I do think Experienced has some great lines, "Watch the sunrise from the bottom of the sea." Great choice with Pearl Jam!

?Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox?

Well I ain't afraid of dyin', it's the thought of being dead
I wanna go on being me once my eulogy's been read
Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest
You can put my mind at ease if you fulfill my last request

Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
Lord, I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die

Just let my headstone be a neon sign
Let it burn in mem'ry of all of my good times
Fix me up with a manequin, just remember I like blondes
I'll be the life of the party even when I'm dead and gone

Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
Lord, I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die

Just make your next selection and while your still in line
You can pay you last respects one quarter at a time

Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
Lord, I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die

Oh, prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
