For an FM staple overplayed for 45 years until it lands like mush on the listener's ears, it really is a terrifically complex lyric.

I especially like this profound lyric:



Wah-wah-wah-wahhh, Wah-WAH-wah, wha-wah.

Yeah, but when you play it backward, it says “Come to Satan, he likes M&Ms.”



When I was in college a group came to present and they were all about exposing messages in rock songs. And I asked which records they played backward - popular rock bands they didn't like, or a bunch of other stuff, too? Because if Perry Como played backward had something that sounded like “Kiss the devil” it would pretty much trash their central thesis.



They didn't like the question.

Stuck in my head all day.





At least until I go back to the baseball board and see FK's "The Back of the Pen" thread, which triggers these lyrics for me:



"The back of the club, sippin' Moet, is where you'll find me..."

I'll have all of you know (especially that troublemaker KC who started this whole thing) that this is an inappropriate topic for a Mets board and I'll give you 52 seconds to take it down!!

Hey, I said it was "complex," not "profound." I mean, it's not Skynyrd.

Re: I'm swimming in a circle

Simple Man is the song I wanted, my whole life, to dance to with my son at his wedding.

However the DJ did not play that, nor did he play the song my son and his wife pick to dance to.

The dickhead.

When someone drops a cup and I submerge



I have to ask what does this line mean?

Re: I'm swimming in a circle

Funky song with a great tumbling intro.



I always through the first line was "doobie wah, everybody." but according to the internet the lyric is:



Do what everybody says is wrong

I don't believe nobody takes too long

Changing your mind, well now, let me up

I don't believe that kind would drink my cup



In fact, neither "doobie" not "wha" are lyrics

Me too, and I suppose at this point it's staying 'doobie wah' for me.
