What do you think it means?
From "Something's Missing" and I would have to agree. But, hey, he's a blues monster, playing on the big stage with the legends. Lots o' talent and all that. |

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Willis Alan Ramsey wrote "Muskrat Love", by the way. his site: http://www.willisalanramsey.com/ His first album, is a classic in spite of Muskrat Love, which, if you hear him sing it, is another thing (no argument, by the way on the intelligence of the lyrics). Willis inspired careers of Shawn Colvin and Lyle Lovett, too.
My vote for all time stupid and annoying songs is by Heart from All I Want to Do is Make Love to You:
"And in the morning when he woke all
I left him was a note
I told him
I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden
We planted a tree
Don’t try to find me,
Please don’t you dare
Just live in my memory,
You’ll always be there
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I’ve got lovin’ arms to hold on to
Oh, oooh, we made love", etc. ad nauseum.....
That flower and tree stuff is downright wrong. If you look at most of the lyrics to any of their songs, you can easily ask, "What were they thinking"? I remember hearing that tune when the record came out and I am still offended as I was then by the simple stupidity. Most rock lyrics are dumb, that's why we play the instruments so loud, to hide the embarrasment and lack of content. |

Location: SE Michigan | OK, someone explain this one to me:
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me
Galileo,Galileo,
Galileo Galileo
Galileo figaro-Magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go
Bismillah! No-,we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me |

Well Jeff, he was busy writing the song. Someone was knocking at the door and ringing the bell. He was busy so he wanted someone to do him a favor and let em in. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Yep, Willis Alan Ramsey.....hey, it's what I get when I go from memory and don't get the CD out to check the songwriter.....
My wife hates the Heart song "All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You", too....shame, because Heart is our favorite group. I'll shoot from the hip again....I believe that a co-writer of that song is Shania Twain's hubby.....I don't remember his name at the moment, so I won't guess. He produced AC/DC, among others, before he hooked up with her.

No dumber than a zillion other pop tunes. The problem with this one was the vocal. Who the HELL decided this guy could sing? Who was he, Dan Hill or something? He's in the Terry Jacks league.
How about we start a whole "bad vocal" thread? Nah, it'd last for years. |

Amazingly, no one has brought up "Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy".....maybe it's too obvious....
