OT: Nonsensical Songs - Wacky lyrics & titles, post your best loved - and worst

[Aluminny69]

I asked this before, with no answer. Could someone please explain the lyrics to this song?

 

[Aluminny69]

Try to watch this without laughing. Dare you.

Ah yes, the Bonzo Dog Boys:

Hmmm, The above has a wacky chorus, not a wacky title. If we are going with wacky titles, only, then I will go with.…

Actually "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" is a title with very much sense in it. Cause it's a Nigerian saying that means "It comes like it comes". That pretty tells what the song is all about.

IMO "I Am The Walrus" makes much less sense.

Was this the biggest nonsense song of all time? Nominated for two grammys.

For their own safety I sure hope so. Sheesh that was awful

Sort of…
After the release of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" in November 1968, Scott tried to claim a writer's credit for the use of his catchphrase.[15][6] McCartney said that the phrase was "just an expression", whereas Scott argued that it was not a common expression and was used exclusively by the Scott-Emuakpor family.[12]

Yup, pretty much anything Spike Jones or Dr Demento can slide into this thread.
I've actually refrained from posting some Spike Jones on previous threads because I wasn't sure how it might be rec'd.
The Spike Jones folks had a boatload of musical talent to massacre the classics like they did.
(Edit to add Homer and Jethro & Pinkard and Bowden)

Dr. Demento is the man (along with "Weird" Al Yankovic). My sister and I used to listen to his radio show every Sunday night, it came on right after the Dr. Ruth Westheimer Show. I always wondered if the radio station had the programming backwards, given the content of each show.

I just remembered ole' Ray Stevens who had a bunch of novelty gems. Here's a good sample.

Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling

IIRC this was the only #1 song of his career. Hard to believe!

I'd have to go with "Peaches" from The Presidents of the United States of America. They have a few songs that could be here.
