@[liverdude:54396] No kidding! Between the idiotic lyrics and the monotonous "tune", this has got to be one of the worst songs ever. Of course I know it does have a deep, deep meaning, and has changed many people's lives. |

@[Mofowizard:54395] The thing most people aren't aware of is that the song was originally titled, "A Horse with no Mane". There was a typographical error on the record jacket, and the song rocketed to Billboard's #1 spot while the band was too out-of-it to make a correction. Unfortunately this makes your comments - while insightful - also irrelevant. Sorry, but I did enjoy reading them. |

"Or the tropic of Sir Galahad" ?? Dewey, Dewey, Dewey, . . . When we are writing our next "hit song", and we have an extra line to fill up, but no content to put into it, then, yes, we do just string together a bunch of words to continue the meter and the tune. But do try to make sure the words tie in somehow with the rest of the song, or at least tie in together with *each other*.
In this case, Sir Galahad is a good start. "Sir" and "Galahad" go together. It's a concept. It has meaning. But moving on, "tropic" is not a good choice to round out the line since Sir Galahad is not from the tropics. Alternatively, we have the "Tropic of Cancer" and the "Tropic of Capricorn", but there is no "Tropic of Sir Galahad". Better words to insert here might include "horse", "knight", "sword", or even "Round Table". Of course, neither the tropics nor the Galahad motif has anything to do with the rest of the song, but we can tackle that later.
In the mean time, try to do better. |
