Funny Lyrics:
"Crush On You"
The Funny Lyrics: Dead flies in my scotch with ice
Why They're Funny: Really, can I explain it? It's a riot! Next thing you know they'll say something like "I made you a cookie but I eated it". (that quote was from I Can Has Cheezburger)

| "The Look"
The Funny Lyrics: Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer, she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter. Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look.
Why They're Funny: Who is this chick? And why do we need so many mixed metaphors to describe her?? Maybe this song makes sense when translated into Swedish... Tasty like a raindrop?? Delicious.

Repetitive Lyrics:
"The Look"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na She's got the look. Why They're Repetitive: This happens at the end of the song. Not only is the 'na na ... na na she's got the look!' is annoying even once, but they do that line quite a few times at the end. As a matter of fact, to end the song they fade out while this is happening. Ran out of ideas I guess.

| "Joyride"
The Repetitive Lyrics: He says: 'hello you fool I love you.'
C'mon join the joyride, join the joyride Why They're Repetitive: That's basically the entire chorus except in the very last line they change 'c'mon join the joyride' to 'be a joyride.'

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"The Look"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer, She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter, Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look. Why They're Nonsensical: Well... I'm using these lyrics as evidence of my theory that Per Gessle's songwriting approach is "write first, who cares about asking questions".
