Strange Offspring Names:

  • Chastity/Elijah Blue - Those names rock!!! I'm not saying that because I'm her biggest fan, but they are quite conventional compared to others. They are really cool. Submitted by: cher rox
  • Chastity, Elijah Blue - Hmm... Chastity. What a name, seeing as her daughter is a LESBIAN, Cher's daughter cannot TRULY live up to her name!! Elijah on its own is cool, what's with the BLUE?? Perhaps when Cher gave birth to him, he came out BLUE, as apposed to the usual PINK??? Submitted by: Paradise
  • Elijah Blue - Submitted by: Talon
  • Elijah Blue - I would just like to say that half of the names on this page aren't even strange. I mean I grew up with the name Azure Blue. Not that I'm complaining b/c being common sucks. Submitted by: Azure

Do you believe in lunch after brunch?

I really don't think I ate enough

Funny Lyrics:

"Half-breed"
The Funny Lyrics:
Half-breed!, how I love, to hate the word!, both side's, were against, me since, the day, I was born!
Why They're Funny:
Don't worry, you may become,the next, president of, the united state's, of america!

"Believe"
The Funny Lyrics:
Do you believe in life after love?
Why They're Funny:
Well, if we didn't, the world's population wouldn't be half of what it it today, now, would it? I mean, I love the song, but I don't see broken-hearted people disappearing into thin air all around me. Or anywhere at all, really.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"One By One"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Why They're Nonsensical:
Only until the morning? That's some fickle love going on there, unless this is some sort of euphemism for either a one-night stand or escorting.
Submitted by: Devil Jones
"Dark Lady"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Dark lady laughed and danced
and lit the candles one by one
Why They're Nonsensical:
This is another example of why repeating the chorus isn't always a good idea when your song is telling a story. This line is repeated 3 times during the song, and the first two times it makes sense. But the third time, the woman in the story 'laughs and dances' after Cher has shot her to death!

Dirty Lyrics:

"Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves"
The Dirty Lyrics:
And Papa would've shot him if he knew what he'd done
Why They're Dirty:
What did he do? Why, he made her pregnant, of course! It becomes obvious in the final verse of the song.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"The Way of Love"
The Lyrics:
When you meet a boy that you like a lot and you fall in love but he loves you not . . . etc. . . . Then what will you do when he sets you free just the way that you said goodbye to me?
Why:
Unless this song is about a lesbian whose girlfriend left her for a man (or a straight woman whose BF just came out) it makes no sense. Starting with the first line the perspective is that of Cher singing to (presumably) a woman, or women in general, about the dangers of fickle men. But at the very last minute the perspective changes to Cher talking to her ex-lover (presumably a man). Additionally, the whole song is a few poorly constructed run-on sentences. This my vote for worst song ever.

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:

"Gypsies, Tramps, And Thieves"
The Lyrics:
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile,
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal.
I was sixteen; he was twenty-one,
He rode with us to Memphis.
Why:
Refers to the cities of Mobile, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee.
Submitted by: Penelope Beckinsale
"Dark Lady"
The Lyrics:
The fortune queen of New Orleans Was brushing her cat in her black limousine On the backseat were scratches from The marks of men her fortune she had won Couldn't see through the tinted glass She said "Home James" and he hit the gas I followed her to some darkened room, She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"
Why:
"Dark Lady" was a #1 hit song for Cher back in 1974. The opening verse I posted above has a shoutout to New Orleans, a real place.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Believe"
The Lyrics:
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talkin' to you
It's so sad that you're leavin'
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one...ohhh
Why:
It's a pretty upbeat tune for a breakup song, Then again, the woman realizes she's better off after the breakup, so maybe it's appropriate for it to be upbeat. (This song helped me get over a bad breakup.)
