"The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" The Funny Lyrics: In the bar, with my head on the bar. Why They're Funny: It's funny because he uses the phrase "the bar" two different ways. In the bar refers to a retail establishment serving alcoholic beverages; on the bar refers to the counter in such an establishment where such drinks are served. Submitted by: Laura	"Suedehead" The Funny Lyrics: It was a good lay, good lay It was a good lay, good lay It was a good lay, good lay, good lay, ohhh ohhh Why They're Funny: Say it one more time Moz.

Dated Song Lyrics:

"America Is Not The World"

The Dated Lyrics:

In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity, In a just and a truthful way.
But where the president, is never black, female or gay, and until that day,
you've got nothing to say to me, to help me believe

Why They're Dated:

Oops... we've got a black president now. Almost had a woman president even. I wonder if he'll change the lyrics to the song when he performs it now.
