(Maybe it’s a regional thing). ***** Other songs whose lyrics make me scratch my head: “Anywhere the Heart Goes” (from THE THORN BIRDS) Love can hurt when you go Anywhere the heart goes Don’t you know it isn’t easy Being me I hold you inside where my love never dies And you will always live somewhere in me Somehow that line sounds so much like this lyric was written in a great big, honkin’ hurry. ******** “Dreamsville” (from PETER GUNN) We can see the rest of the world Below us from our pink cloud There's no boundary to this magic light As we go exploring hand in hand In dreamy dreamsville Far away and here we love Here we stay I like Livingston and Evans; once again those 2 things make it sound like they were in a hurry. ***** Do you have any?    Posted:   Jun 21, 2011 - 6:12 PM     By:   The Mutant   (Member) I actually really like the lyrics in this song. Basically, "breakup with your girlfriend and be with me" Call your girlfriend It's time you had the talk Give your reasons Say it's not her fault But you just met somebody new Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done And then when she gets upset tell her how you never mean to hurt no one Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend And then you let her down easy Call your girlfriend It's time you had the talk Give your reasons Say it's not her fault But you just met somebody new Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss You tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend And then you let her down easy    Posted:   Jun 21, 2011 - 6:16 PM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) If you skip over to the Rozsa Forum, one of the real experts there who's written many articles on Miklos Rozsa, recently unearthed the lyrics Webster wrote for Rozsa's love theme for 'Ben-Hur'. Rozsa said in an interview that he'd originally intended the Esther character to sing a song, and that love theme was to be the melody. The song lyrics have been found, and it's called, 'Written in the Stars'. http://miklosrozsa.yuku.com/topic/1139/The-Lion-s-Voice-the-FSM-online-article The lyrics are .... so-so. Some good elements, and a bit erotic here and there.    Posted:   Jun 21, 2011 - 8:14 PM     By:   Mr. Jack   (Member) Love is rekwiyahd Whenevuh he's hiyahd It comes just before the KI-HI-IL! No one can catch him No hitman can match him With his millyun dollah SKILL!    Posted:   Jun 21, 2011 - 10:38 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) The hit song from Ronnie Dyson in the early 70's IF YOU LET ME MAKE LOVE TO YOU , THEN WHY CAN'T I TOUCH YOU, Now what the hell is that suppose to mean?, Now you can love somebody without physical contact, but how do you make love to them without touching them?    Posted:   Jun 21, 2011 - 11:34 PM     By:   Mr Greg   (Member) One word....: "Friday". Or, sticking with the movies... "....and he strikes, like thunderball...."..... .....what?.... .....love the song, belt it out in the car whenever I get the opportunity if I'm honest.... .....but really??    Posted:   Jun 22, 2011 - 2:16 AM     By:   Jehannum   (Member) The hit song from Ronnie Dyson in the early 70's IF YOU LET ME MAKE LOVE TO YOU , THEN WHY CAN'T I TOUCH YOU, Now what the hell is that suppose to mean?, Now you can love somebody without physical contact, but how do you make love to them without touching them? I'd guess it means physical but not emotional contact.    Posted:   Jun 22, 2011 - 2:24 AM     By:   Jehannum   (Member) Reflex in the sky warn you you're gonna die Storm comin' you better hide from the atomic tide Flashes in the sky turns houses into sty Turns people into clay, radiation mind's decay From Black Sabbath, Electric Funeral    Posted:   Jun 22, 2011 - 6:03 AM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) Or, sticking with the movies... "....and he strikes, like thunderball...."..... .....what?.... Don Black regularly stated in interviews that those words meant nothing, they just worked.    Posted:   Jun 22, 2011 - 2:32 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) I always thought the subject of the Thunderball song was . . . the villain. Surely, it's not Bond himself being referred to. In MWTGG it's obviously Scaramanga being parodied. When you get to Hamlisch then yes, that has got to be James Bond himself. Diamonds Are Forever is a little ambiguous but would seem to allude to Tiffany Case. Moonraker is just plain baffling, yet my hunch is we're back with Mr Bond. YOLT I've always thought involved the audience. It is clear that the OHMSS song involves both James and Tracy. Can anyone pin down just who is the subject of each and every Bond song . . . without going nuts in the process?    Posted:   Jun 22, 2011 - 3:27 PM     By:   drivingmissdaisy   (Member) I Love to Laugh from Mary Poppins It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World song. Those two make me chuckle and nutty in the eyes of DMD.    Posted:   Jun 23, 2011 - 8:54 AM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) I always thought the subject of the Thunderball song was . . . the villain. Surely, it's not Bond himself being referred to. Indeed. But it's the general syntax of, '...he strikes like Thunderball' that's dodgy. Black admitted that. It sounds like 'Thunderball' is a euphemism for something you pick up from dodgy vindaloos, like the 'Tripoli Trots' or 'Montezuma's Revenge'. 'OOO-ER .... excuse me, I think I have a touch of the Thunderballs...' 'I think you're going down with a dose of the Thunderball: you should never have eaten that sushi'. etc..    Posted:   Jun 24, 2011 - 2:29 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) Thunderball. Was that a code word from the film? I really can't remember without watching it again. But imagine if you saw the end title teaser from the preceding film, "James Bond will return again in Thunderbolt." Doesn't exactly ring true, does it? Thunderball makes a little more sense if you take it as a reference to the nuclear devices going operational. The critical mass hemispheres slammed together would then very temporarily form a ball . . . followed by pretty loud thunder. On that understanding you might have gone and called the film Ballthunder. Tell me I'm nuts!    Posted:   Jun 24, 2011 - 2:50 PM     By:   The Mutant   (Member) I always thought the subject of the Thunderball song was . . . the villain.

I guess A View to a Kill is about the Stacey character...    Posted:   Jun 24, 2011 - 3:48 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) I've just read the lyrics . . . for the first time ever. I'm damned if I know, Mutant. It's actually one of the least sensical of the Bond songs. It could be an ode to a scenario in which gladiators enter into the arena. Possibly a reference to the Bond/Stacy, Zorin/Mayday, Bond/Mayday connections that variously appear within the storyline all juxtaposed. I think it warrants a fully rounded 10 on the nuttiness scale!    Posted:   Jun 24, 2011 - 4:04 PM     By:   Zooba   (Member) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TA3c1YqCiI Longer version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjVKUap1HgU&NR=1    Posted:   Jun 24, 2011 - 4:07 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member)    Posted:   Jun 25, 2011 - 11:15 AM     By:   Graham S. Watt   (Member) Stevie Wonder - I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart Now, the melody of this is just SO banal that I find it insufferable. And then he comes up with a lyric that just cries out for some kind of rhyme, and he says "heart" instead of "hair". Hate it. Drives me nutty.    Posted:   Jun 25, 2011 - 11:11 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) well if we are talking about nutty, of course, THEIR COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY TO THE FUNNY FARM, that novelty hit song back in the late 60's.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2011 - 5:46 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) My party piece, which INFURIATES my kids, is to listen to their choice of music in the car for the first time and predict the last word of the next line. It's the only antidote I've found to the repeated banality of "............miss you / ............. kiss you" and ".............love / ............... above" The sad thing is, it's not that difficult.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Lyrics that make you nutty    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6
