Electric boots! Just silly! :nono:
she's got electric boobs... her mom has too... :twisted:
I thought the lyric really was "electric boobs"! :hehe: :shifty:

I never listen to it either. Probably explains why I never deduced that he was singing "boots".
I'm not sure I've even heard that song all the way through. I definitely don't remember that part.
We danced.

"She's got electric boots,
A mohair suit,
You know I read it
in a magazine,

Ohhh, B-b-b-benny and the Jets."

Yeah, it's in the Guinness Book of World Records for most views or something now.

I was spared many bad lyrics before I knew well. But my expectatiins were not high.

Start Me Up is fine. Now U2 songs...only the early albums had ok lyrics.

Nah, it's not even top 10 for YouTube.

I checked. 8-)

It's certainly getting there though. Like something like 20 million views a day or something right now.

Justin Bieber is first. :|~ Amazing how no one has mentioned that Canadian dumpling in this thread yet.

I was tripping like mad and smoking black Pakistani hash laced with opium the first time I hear the "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road" album. I got an entirely wrong impression of "Brown Dirt Cowboy". :mrgreen:

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Yeah, it's obvious enough, but it's more pointed if you know the Gangnam area of Seoul and its reputation. The reference to coffee early on, for example, is a dig at people who go to high-priced coffee shops in Gangnam just to be seen and assumed to be a coffee connoissuer, but who in fact are clueless about coffee. There are more references that may be lost on some people, but the idea gets through, anyway.
