Talking Heads', "I Zimbra"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Gadji beri bimba clandridi
Lauli lonni cadori gadjam

E glassala tuffm i zimbra
Lauli lonni cadori gadjam
A bim beri glassala glandride
E glassala tuffm i zimbra

This is one of the best Talking Heads songs, yet its gibberish is a bit annoying after a while.

Talking Heads', "Wild, Wild Life"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Like sitting on pins and needles
Things fall apart
It's scientific
Things fall apart
It's scientific
Why They're Nonsensical:
It is indeed scientific that things fall apart, but there's no coherent relationship between this and 'sitting on pins and needles'!

Talking Heads', "Wild, Wild Life"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Sleeping on the Interstate
Why They're Nonsensical:
It's obviously a reference to the Interstate highway, but what does it mean in the context of the rest of the song? Also, actually sleeping on a highway would be a stupid thing to do.
