Who Put the Bomp?
|
My first quiz on nonsense lyrics has received some good feedback, so here are some questions on more songs where the lyricist appears to have run out of inspiration. Feel free to sing along, if it helps.

I've scraped a few barrels and found some more nonsense lyrics for your delection and delight (or not, as the case may be). If you're looking for deep and meaningful words, sorry, you're in the wrong place.

Who Put The Ram In The Rama Lama Ding Dong?
|
They may be nonsense lyrics but they fit so well into those great '50s & '60s songs. See if you can make any sense out of them and find the singer or title. US chart:Joel Whitburn's book of Top Pop Singles. UK chart:Guinness Book of British Hit Singles.

The pit of nonsense lyrics appears to be bottomless, so here is another selection of ten questions about those songs which will never win a prize for profundity. Some references are UK specific.

Who Forgot The Words?
|
Fa-La-La-La-La. The songs where the writer / singer seems to have dried up and can't think of any more words so nonsense lyrics are substituted. How many of these can you remember?

Come on Eileen
|
The song 'Come on Eileen' by Dexy's Midnight Runners includes the line 'Toora loora toora loo-rye-aye'. There are many other songs with equally meaningless lyrics, and this quiz covers some of the songs, singers and writers of them.

What were they thinking? Who knows!
In this quiz I'll give you the name of a ridiculously titled song and all you have to do is name the artist, good luck!

Very Strange Lyrics IV
|
Good songwriting takes on ides of common interest: love, hope, the ups and downs of life-- and then there's furniture, body parts and things that explode. Here's another quiz about songs where making sense is optional. Hope you enjoy. Thank you.

The Lyrics Said What?
|
These lyrics either started or appeared in songs that charted at least in the UK, but often in the USA as well as other countries.
Where there was doubt on actual spellings, I went with the majority opinion.
