Story about this misheard lyric by: William Michael I knew that these could not possibly be the lyrics. I was a huge Talking Heads fan and naturally bought the first album by the side project Tom Tom Club in late 1981. The groove overshadowed the lyrics anyway. It wasn't until the Talking Heads movie "Stop Making Sense" came out three years later which featured "Genius of Love" performed live, and I was finally able to discern the actual lyrics. |

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Genius Of Love"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: iscup handra huta hishki
icup handra huta hi icup hanti husic handra huta hila kosaba handro uish kindro aya - or - iko pa handra hoo kuh-haish kay iko pa handra hoo kuh hay iko pantsee hootsee kandra roo hoota ra hindra ko saba handa ruish kendro wya Why They're Nonsensical: The above is the reason these lyrics don't make any sense. What language is this? And what do these words mean? This part of the song -- spoken at about the 3-minute mark -- has baffled me for years, and I'm sure other people wonder about it as well. Still, I find it rather laughable in a sense. (Note to the editor: This is not spam; these are just two possible transcriptions of the lyrics which I got from songfacts.com.)

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"Genius Of Love"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Oops! Your mama said uh
Oops! Your mama said uh Oops! Your mama said uh Oops! Your mama Why They're Inappropriate: Muttered during the interlude between the second and third verses. I don't see how it relates to the rest of the song.
