Song Lyrics that Demand Further Clarification

"Like a rock
Chargin' from the gate"
--Bob Seger, Like a Rock

Failing simile. I don't usually think of rocks as "chargin'" from a gate.

"I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow"
--Coldplay, Yellow

I always imagined this song as being sung from a first-grader to their teacher.

"Suckin' on a chili dog
Outside the Tasty Freeze"
--John Cougar Mellencamp, Jack and Diane

Has Mr. J. Cougar Mellencamp ever eaten a chili dog? I don't think it makes for good suckin' material.

“Is that yo ass, or yo momma half reindeer?”
-- Nelly, Shake Ya Tailfeather

And I'm out.
