Ridiculous Lyrics

I was watching VH1’s 50 Worst Songs and it got me thinking… So often we find ourselves unconsciously singing the lyrics to a song. But do we actually think about what we’re singing? Some songs have really awesome beats and a catchy tune, but the lyrics don’t always make sense. For instance, the Spice Girls song Wannabe : ‘I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ha.’ Does anyone know what a ‘zigazig ha’ really is?

And when the Police came out with ‘Every Breath you Take’, it was such a hit. ‘Every move you make, Every step you take, Ill be watching you, Ill be watching you, Ill be watching you …’ He’s practically stalking her! Not to mention that the lyrics for Barbie Girl and Macarena are totally inappropriate for kids – and we all know it’s mainly kids who listen to this stuff. So the point is that some of the greatest hits have the silliest lyrics… and very often we don’t even realize it…What do you think?
