list 43 songs that never fail to brighten my day

Another nonesense song from one of the great lyricists of our time: The Replacements’ Paul Westerberg. This was early on in Westerberg’s career with the Mats. Several of his songs could be on this list, but this one is just pure fun. Gotta hear the song to appreciate the lyrics. Check out a sample here: http://www.twintone.com/projects/8332.html

... for adding me to this team. I’m offering up Elton John’s “Solar Prestige A Gammon” from his Caribou album. I bought the album when I was in Junior High back in the mid-70s and loved this song from the first listen. It’s a pure nonesense song that you can’t help but want to learn the lyrics. Trust me, after a listen or two, you’ll want to memorize it, too, and pull it out whenever you want to add a little skip to your step.

Here are the lyrics as I remember them:

Oh ma cameo molesting
Ke pa a poorer for tee
Solar prestige a gammon
Lantern or turbert paw kwee

Solar prestige a gammon
cool kar kerrie kay salmon
Herring molasses abounding
Common lapkeech sardine a por floundin

Kadee se you pay a lotto
My zeeta prestige toupee a floored
Ray en de paco a gammon
Solar prestige a paco con nord

Solar prestige a gammon
cool kar kerrie kay salmon
Herring molasses abounding
Common lapkeech sardine a por floundin
