Friday night is songs with lyrics you thought were profound...

[Yellow Fang]

My nomination, Life on Mars by David Bowie, at least the 2nd verse.

 

[dan_bo]

Sorry no link, but Hendrix-Voodoo Chile.

 

[georgiebuzz]

"The lion sleeps tonight" by Tight Fit is my nomination....profound !!

 

[accountantpete]

68 Guns by The Alarm

 

[Yellow Fang]

The song that was No1 when I was born: Whiter Shade of Pale by Procul Harem.

 

[Aperitif]

Shawn Phillips with 'A Christmas Song' - I thought it was profound once, but probably for the storytell in a different way...and, looking for a link, I have stumbled upon this version from The Netherlands, which is great fun! (Bit of moustache action going on too...) Of course, if it appeals, listen to the Shawn Phillips version as it is a bit more 'predictable-sing-a-long-a...'

[aberal]

All along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan. Probably the Jimi Hendrix version, but it's a close run thing with the original. It's so profound.....I don't even know what it means! How profound is that?

 

[XmisterIS]

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really really really really wanna zig-a-zig-ah! --- The Spice Girls.

I think King Crimson must be in with a chance....

Sorry, this is cheating, but anything by one band has always been totally pretentious cess-pit fodder...


U2

 

[Speicher]

I tried to find Mary O'Hara's version of Forty Five Years, but this one is the only one I could find.

 

[TheDoctor]

I'll see your King Crimson and raise you an Emerson Lake and Palmer.
I've heard Karn Evil 9 about a gazillion times and it still makes no sense.

 

[Speicher]

Slightly more up to date (than Stan Rogers):

Paul Young - Where ever I lay my hat

 

[slowmotion]

Actually Doc, ELP did cross my mind.

It was a toss-up......errgh as it were....

 

[TheDoctor]

I have a few ELP CDs, but it is the most pretentious and self-important stuff at times...
