Swing the Sickle Forum  /  Music and Audio  /  Dilbert blog song

A few days ago, Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) asked his blog readers to post made up, crazy-sounding lyrics and said he would put them together into a song.  The idea was that it might be easier to fake creativity than to actually be creative.

Some German band actually made it into a song.  The lyrics are completely ridiculous, but the music almost makes them soudn deep.  Here's the post, which has a link to the song.

As a musician who has tried (and repeatedly failed) to write descent lyrics, I find it much easier to put music to lyrics than lyrics to music.

I don't find these lyrics to be nonsense though because they are all under the umbrella of a singular subject.  That subject of course is some level of attraction to a person.  I actually like some of these lyrics.  "She spread deja-vu across the land" "Runaway eyes".  The line about "Apple core ostriches" is kind of a stretch though.  

However, I think it might be fun to try this myself.  If you guys want to put together some random lyrics for me I could try to put something together.  I could even try putting the same lyrics into different styles.

So...is it sad that I really kind of like this song?  Mostly for the music--I don't usually pay much attention to lyrics anyways.
