Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"A Thousand Miles from Nowhere"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be Why They're Nonsensical: Dwight Yoakam is the crowned king of country-western non-sequiturs. When I was an undergraduate we referred to the process of generating such lyrics as the above and 'it only hurts me when I cry', etc. as'Yoakamization'. Recently I gave the above quote on a final exam in artificial intelligence, asking students to write the above as a sentence in first-order logic.

| "It Only Hurts Me When I Cry"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain And I don't feel no hurt at all Unless you count when teardrops fall I tell the truth 'cept when I lie And it only hurts me when I cry Why They're Nonsensical: I know we're not supposed to submit more than a few lines, but this whole chorus makes no sense!
