Shakira's, "Eyes Like Yours"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Oh, You know I have seen a woman of means and rags and begging for pleasure.
Crossed a river of salt just after I rode a ship that sunk in the desert.
Crossed a river of salt just after I rode a ship that sunk in the desert.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Um....wait, if the woman is of means why is she in rags... and just how does one ride a boat in the desert?

Shakira's, "Fool"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
'Til the day you start changing the rules,
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Why They're Nonsensical:
From the rest of the song, it sounds as though he's already always changing the rules. And if she's constantly chasing him despite how fruitless it is, why would she stop if he changed the rules? This is kinda redundant if you ask me.

Shakira's, "Fool"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
With my tears, you'd make a sea a desert
Why They're Nonsensical:
If you made a sea a desert, that would dry it up. I think she means 'You'd make a desert a sea' but it did not rhyme with the previous line, so she had to reverse it. Consequently it doesn't make sense.

Shakira's, "Hips Don't Lie"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Como se llama, bonita,
mi casa, su casa
mi casa, su casa
Why They're Nonsensical:
Loosly translated that is 'As it is called, pretty, my house, its house' And your house has to do with what now?

Shakira's, "Objection (Tango)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
Why They're Nonsensical:
Two things: 1) Is she a prostitute with a 'special offer'? 2) Yes, it's a good thing you're not his mother, Shakira. I know there's such an expression as 'close family' but that's taking the Garibaldi.

Shakira's, "Ready For The Good Times"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I used to read survival guides
when my world was full of seven legged cats
when my world was full of seven legged cats
Why They're Nonsensical:
Yes, I think survival would be a lot tougher if cats were mutating and growing three extra legs

Shakira's, "Rules"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Use your eyes only to look at me,
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips,
We are branches of the same old tree
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips,
We are branches of the same old tree
Why They're Nonsensical:
"We are branches of the same old tree"?! I'm sure that's figurative, but I don't quite get it!

Shakira's, "The One"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
'Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun
Why They're Nonsensical:
Whoa, painful! Imagine having a smile made of sun...surely you'd run the risk of burning your whole face off every time you grinned? Wouldn't you also jeopardise everyone else if you got close and smiled at them? The least you could do is blind everyone in your vicinity! How can Shakira possibly find all this attractive?

Shakira's, "Underneath Your Clothes"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Why They're Nonsensical:
Oh...kay...this is poetically beautiful. But... what does it mean?

Shakira's, "Underneath Your Clothes"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's an endless story
Why They're Nonsensical:
Personally, I wouldn't want there to be an endless story underneath my clothes.. and if you think about it, it sounds like the guy she's singing about in this song is shop-lifting books! (That is, carrying an "endless story" underneath his clothes!)

Shakira's, "Whenever, Wherever"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
To count the freckles on your body
Why They're Nonsensical:
Either Shakira's really kinky or she's really crazy.

Shakira's, "Whenever, Wherever"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble,
so you don't confuse them with mountains
so you don't confuse them with mountains
Why They're Nonsensical:
Hmmm.... I'm sure I've never had trouble telling the two apart, even with Britney Spears. Anyway, what strange lyrics for a song!
