Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"The Gambler"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: On a warm summer's evenin',
on a train bound for nowhere Why They're Nonsensical: Do trains ever really run without any destination? I've certainly never heard of a train bound for nowhere. After all, unlike cars or trucks, which one can drive around aimlessly and turn on a whim, trains are on tracks directing them somewhere in particular.

Misrhymed Song Lyrics:
"Lucille"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: His big hands were calloused,
He looked like a mountain. Why They're Misrhymed: "Calloused" and "mountain" don't rhyme.
Submitted by: Richard Wetfuss
| "Lucille"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: After she left us, I ordered more whiskey
Why They're Misrhymed: ok, so there are some rhymes in this song and I know Kenny didn't intend these lines to rhyme. But whenever I heard this song I just wanted to sing, 'After she left us, I ordered more breakfast.'

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"Through the Years"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I can't remember when you weren't there
when I didn't care for anyone but you Why They're Inappropriate: The lyrics, tangled as they are, amount to the statement 'I don't care for you, and I can't remember ever *having* cared for you'.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Through the Years"
The Lyrics: I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you. Why: I think Kenny means he can't remember a time when he DID care for anyone but the woman he's serenading, but what he SAYS is the exact opposite - i.e. "Honey, I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with somebody else, but it was never with you."
