"You know say daddy me snow me-a gon blame
A licky boom-boom down"
-Snow, Informer
Ohhhhhh...a licky boom-boom down! It makes more sense when you look up the lyrics.
“Slowly walking down the hall,
Faster than a cannonball,
Where were you when we were getting high?”
-Oasis, Champagne Supernova
Slowly walking faster than a cannonball? Damn you, Liam Gallagher...and anyone else named Gallagher too!
"I drive a Rolls Royce,
Cos it's good for my voice."
-T-Rex
Great song, awful lyrics.
“Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town.”
-Thin Lizzy, Jailbreak
Here's a clue: it'll be at the jail.

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.
