Rihanna -

Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh,
Under my um-ba-rella,
Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh,
Under my um-ba-rella,
Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh,
Under my um-ba-rella,
Ella, Ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.

Sometimes the title is enough.

Just about anything by Kevin Bloody Wilson. Arguably his most extreme is "You Can't Say C--t in Canada" (apparently his opening number in Toronto)

It's no use, he sees her, he starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov
Don't Stand so Close to Me - Sting

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold.
And I'm on my knees begging for the answer.
Are we human or are we dancer?
Human - The Killers

I'm afraid of the dark
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers.
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news.
Life - Des'ree

As soon as I saw the title of the thread, I was ready to post the Des'ree one...

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town"

Errr... Maybe try the fucking jail, moron.

(Thin Lizzy, by the way.)

David Essex - A Winter's Tale

"The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door"

It would help, dontcha think?

No flies on our David!

Bloody by The Vandals(?)
I wanna go where they've never seen snow, send my giro to Cairo

Itchy Coo Park - The Small Faces

"I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun"

Surely the gibberish that Don McLean made into "American Pie" rates here.

I'm the one-man army, Ason
I've never been tooken out, I keep MC's lookin out
I drop science like girls be droppin babies
Enough to make a nigga go cra-a-azy
Energy buildin, takin all types of medicines
Your ass thought you were better than
Ason, I keep planets in orbit
While I be comin with teeth, bitin more shit
Enough to make ya break and shake ya ass
Cause I create, rhymes good as a Tasty Cake, mix
This style, I'm mastered in
Niggas catchin headaches, what? What? You need aspirin?

Ol' Dirty Bastard (Wu-Tang) - Brooklyn Zoo.

A friend of mine used to have a skit from the radio with some guy talking like a thespian reading the above rap lyrics like one might read English poetry

Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
And the waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open wide
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Feel your body melt;
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,
You're all full of ball.

Dad to dam to dum to mum
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,
You're all full of ball.

So bad, they're good ! From Genesis' Supper's Ready

@ Redwhine: I love A Whiter Shade of Pale.

You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

But you could probably find endless examples from fucking Paul McCartney.

I Am The Walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly, I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Mr. City policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run, I'm crying

I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/beatles-l ... yrics.html .]
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
From standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
G-goo goo g' joob

Expert, texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide, I'm crying

Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
G-goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' goo
G-goo goo g' joob goo

Juba juba juba
