Def Leppard		Rock of ages		Gunter glieben glauten globen		To me it sounds like "Unsern Lieben Rock 'n' Rollen" which translates to "We love rock 'n' roll(en)" - Denise
Def Leppard		Rock of Ages		Gunter glieben glauten globen		Once again a cut and paste from their official discography. But they do claim it isn't meant to necessarily mean anything. I thought it was kind of like the german conjugation for the verb "to believe" - John Mifflin
Def Leppard		Hysteria		It's such a magical mysteria		I took this straight off the discography on their website. - John Mifflin
Destiny's Child		Bootylicious		bootylicious, vibealacious, H-town		I don't think you ready for this 'Cause my body too bootylicious for you babe. and I can't help but wonder why (whoo!) Is my vibe too vibealacious for you, babe and H-town goin' hard - Reggie Pillbox
Destiny's Child		Bills, Bills, Bills		"automobills"		One can deduce that these must be bills related to one's automobile. This has irritated me since the first time I heard it, and am now dismayed to find it has apparently caught on- there's even an automobills.net. Lord, help us. - audiophile
The Diamonds		Ka-Ding-Dong		ka-ding-dong, a-ding-dong, da-ding-dong		One line goes: "Because a-ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding". "Ka-ding-dong" appears only in the title. - Loree Dare
Dick Van Dyke, etc.		Chitty Chitty Bang Bang		Fantasicmagorical		"You're uncategorical, a fuel burning oracle A fantasticmagorical machine" - KL Fan
Dicky Doo & The Don'ts		Nee Nee Na Na Na Na Nu Nu		na		I could not find a definition for "na" although "nee" and "nu" are words. This song was a hit in 1958. - Yvette Bristle

The Dolphins		Hey-Da-Da-Dow		hey-da-da-dow, dow-dow-doo-dow-dow		The chorus goes: "Hey-da-da-dow, dow-dow-doo-dow-dow, it's a crazy little thing that they call love." This song was a hit in 1965. - Yvette Bristle
Don Henley		Johnny Can't Read		Gain fans, gobble gangs, wonka wonka wonka		There's no such word as "wonka," unless Henley is referring to Willy Wonka, which is doubtful, since the song has nothing to do with Willy Wonka. The song focuses upon reading illiteracy, and it also reflects Henley's respect for reading and his reading background. - Isac
Donovan		Barabajagal		Barabajagal		This song is a good jam song. - Paul Warren
Doris Day		Ooh Bang Jiggilly Jang		jiggilly		The lyrics say: "Some have ginger and some have snap. Some have this and some have that. But my guy, all he's got is ooh bang jiggilly jang." This song was a small hit in 1955. - Yvette Bristle
Dr. John		Chickee Le Pas		Chickee Le Pas		Even by Dr. John standards this one's bizarro. - Amanda

Duane Eddy		Kommotion		kommotion		- Loree Dare
Duran Duran		White Lines (Don't Do It)		Rang-dang-diggidy-dang-a-dang		Duran Duran featuring Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - Mickey D.
