The Fink is looking for the most confusing song lyrics. I have a suggestion, and I think, they may even be a contender for worst lyrics ever. They're worst because they're so confusing. Actually they're not just confusing, they're gibberish.I give you Starship (or whatever Jefferson variation you want to call them depending on age) and, "We Built This City".
Say you dont know me or recognize my facePure hell! You may think it's catchy after a skinful at a wedding, but seriously, just read them and try to tell me that they make any modicum of sense.
Say you dont care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Marconi plays the mamba, listen to the radio, dont you remember
We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll

Whaaaaa'???
If memory serves it's about them being banned from playing in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. That might mean that the lyrics are full of Bay Area pop culture references from the 1970s.
Or it could be gibberish.
I didn't agree with the left-leaning lyric, but one of the best of that type was "We Didn't Start The Fire". I hear - well, I read, actually; I'm not on that particular grapevine - that they're going to remake it for today.
London Calling ....got that bit , the rest of it is fisking mystery though....except for that one with the yellowy eye ...now phoney Beatle mania has bitten the dust ? the purest gibberish.
I believe that if you were from San Francisco in the relevant time period, it's supposed to make sense (as ralph implies).
Must steal from the great philosopher Stewie ripping 50 Cent.
Lyrics from 'Wanksta'
"Be easy, stop tha bullshit, you get your whole crew wet
We in tha club doin' the same ol' two step
Gorilla unit 'cause they say we bugged out
'cause we don't go nowhere without toast we thugged out"
Pure, unmitigated, drivel.
Not SF, but LA. The lyrics were written by Elton John's collaborator, Bernie Taupin.
Check out this list of the 50 worst songs ever. No. 1? "We Built This City".
Anything by Oasis. Or China Crisis. (Who? - ed.)
Nik Kershaw's The Riddle must be a contender.
Dizzy must be too young to remember the unclear lyric masters Yes. For example (from "The Revealing Science of God"):"Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources,
Chased amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten,
Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge,
Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole....(continues for 20 minutes)
steve_roberts- Wow! That has to be the ultimate!

I think since its release there has only ever been one answer to this oft-posed question: Mr Roboto by Styx.
