Made Up Words in Songs Lyrics, Latest Entries
Performer | Song Title | Made Up Words | Comments & Submittor Name | |||
| Moxy Früvous | B.J. Don't Cry | Früvous | The name of the band appears in several songs. "Früvous" is made-up nonsense, with many nonsense explanations for the meaning. The 'heavy metal umlaut' was obligatory, though. - Nickster | |||
| Phil Collins | Sussudio | Sussudio | Phil Collins reportedly came up with the title by singing nonsense words, then replacing them later with lyrics that made more sense. The only word he couldn't find a replacement for was the girl's name, "Sussudio." I wonder how "Suzie-o" didn't occur to him! - Nickster | |||
| The Muppets (TV) | Scrooge | Meeces | It's meant to rhyme with "increases". - Katy | |||
| Aerosmith | Nine Lives | Shu bop a doo ba | - Noah William Johnsen | |||
| Daniel Thrasher | Igowallah | The entire song | This entire song is made up of gibberish. - Clever Name | |||
| Adriano Celentano | Prisencolinensinainciusol | The entire song | The song was made to mimic what non-Italian speakers thought Italian music sounded like. - Clever Name | |||
| Mr Bungle | Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz | All the lyrics | This entire song is made up words. - Clever Name | |||
| The Police | De Do Do Do De Da Da Da | De Do Do Do De Da Da Da | - Noah William Johnsen | |||
| Kid Rock | Bawitdaba | Bawitdaba | - Noah William Johnsen | |||
| Hanson | Mmmbop | Mmmbop | - mac | |||
| Tom & Jerry (TV) | The Itch | Dirtsy | Dirty doesn't rhyme with curtsy. - JohnHowarth | |||
| The Police | Masoko Tanga | pretty much the whole song except for "Hey!" | One part sounds like "He stole my wombat". - David R | |||
| AronChupa | I’m an Albatraoz | Albatraoz | Weird spelling and pronunciation of “albatross” there. - BrilliantJ8 | |||
| Frankie Miller | Darlin' | Phonesome | Made up to rhyme with 'lonesome' - Robert Sissons | |||
| Rammstein | B******** | Bückstabü | Accoring to guitarist Richard Kruspe; it means whatever the listener wants it to mean. - Jay | |||
| SSQ | Synthicide | Synthicide | There's a line in the song that goes "killing the pain, synthicide". So I think it's saying that listening to synthesizer music or synthpop music will help get rid of you sadness, hurt and other negative emotions. But "synthicide" is definitely not a real word. To me, the word implies murdering somebody with a synthesizer (beating them to death with it I guess LOL) or that you've killed a synthesizer, LOL. The song's from the 80s but definitely wasn't a hit. But the lead singer of SSQ was a young Stacy Q., who would a few years later have a hit with and become a "one hit wonder" with her catchy song Two Of Hearts. Synthicide's an OK song but I think the title and lyrics hurt it somewhat and that's why it wasn't a hit, but yeah I've definitely heard better. - Edward | |||
| Yung Gravy | Oops! | Supercalifragilisticexpialidopesh*t, supercalifragiliyourexbeonsomeh**sh*t | He’s just making up rude words out of another made-up word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”! - BrilliantJ8 | |||
| The Beatles | I Am the Walrus | Goo Goo G'joob | Sounds like baby talk. Of course, this was around the time The Beatles went all Psychedelic so there was bound to be some weird lyrics. - Steve | |||
| Betty Hutton | Doing What Come Natur'lly | natur'lly | From the musical, Annie Get Your Gun. - Sheila Oh | |||
| Tears for Fears | Mad World | Halargian | The final line "Halargian world, mad world" references a studio in-joke: "Halarge" was a fictional planet invented by a couple of guest musicians on Tears for Fears' first album. In Gary Jules' well-known cover, this line is changed to "enlarging your world, mad world." - Sejica |
