Good Song: Feelin’ Groovy by Simon and Garfunkel
Bad Lyrics: Let’s all try not to let our natural dislike of hippies turn us against the lyrics of this song.
Just kickin’ down the cobblestones
Lookin’ for fun and feelin’ groovy
Sure, ok. We’ve all been known to kick down some cobblestones now and again, when the day calls for it.
Hello lampost, whatcha knowin’?
All right - talking to a lamppost, finding out what it’s thinking about… Probably not a whole heck of a lot?
I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’
Your lamppost flowers? C’mon, guys. Get it together, here.
Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Dappled and drowsy?! Can’t contain it… any longer… can’t… stand…
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you, all is groovy
HIPPIES!!!!!
About me
Music is the joy of joys, but sometimes, words can get in the way. Be it a weak metaphor, a forced rhyme, or just pure nonsense - lyrics can go wrong a hundred ways. It won't stop us from loving a song, but it might give us pause to say, "Wait... what?""And, as I say, 70% is how you look, 20% is how you sound, only 10% is what you say." -Eddie Izzard
