Weird songs

Have you ever noticed that when it comes to music, the songs that usually have funny lyrics, don't make any sense or are just weird in one case of the word always end up being the ones that people remember most? Well, here are some lyrics to a song that I think are funny, yet the song is really good. If you ever watch the original video, it's actually kinda funny because you see Mick Jagger come strutting out on to the area wearing the weirdest clothing, white jeans or something, a purple striped tee and white gymshoes, I think.
Start Me Up by The Rolling Stones


If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, never stop



You make a grown man cry (x3)
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up



If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up,
Slide it up, slide it up, slide it up



Don't make a grown man cry (x3)
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up



If start me up
Ahh... give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Slide it up, baby just slide it up
Slide it up, slide it up, never, never, never



You make a grown man cry (x3)
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
If you start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never, never, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop



You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come
You, you make a dead man come

                       

You're So Vain by Carly Simon


You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht 
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye 
Your scarf it was apricot 
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte 
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner 
They'd be your partner, and... 



You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you? 



You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and... 



You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you 


You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you? don't you? 



I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you? 



Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and... 



You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? don't you? don't you?

And I found out something really cool: a singer I like, Mick Jagger, from The Rolling Stones, did back up vocals on this song. I didn't know it until I listened to it and there it is, his voice is heard way better in the 2nd part of the song, if you listen to him sing, you get to know his voice by hearing it!
